Come, the coffee has brewed Come, the foam is starting to overflow My day is pleasant, O friends The bad days will pass, come
— Poem written by Ottoman poet, Veysî Bey
“Poor? Have you tried starving? “
What if we
And I do mean this
Set their buildings on fucking fire
“To recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less.”
― Oscar Wilde
Looks like they’re doing both at once now!
We’ve entered the sage of capitalism where they’re doing things that the Victorians used as examples of absurd behavior.
"There may not be, you know, as much humanity in the world as one would like to see, but there is some. There's more than one would think. In any case, if you...if you break faith with what you know...that's a betrayal of many, many, many, many people. I may know six people, but that's enough. Love has never been a popular movement and no-one's ever wanted really to be free. The world is held together, really it is, held together, by the love and the passion of a very few people. Otherwise, of course you can despair. Walk down the street of any city, any afternoon, and look around you. What you've got to remember is what you're looking at is also you. Everyone you're looking at is also you. You could be that person, you could be that monster, you could be that cop. And you have to decide in yourself not to be."
(Meeting the Man: James Baldwin in Paris (1970), dir. Terence Dixon)
"Oh my intractable wound My homeland is not a suitcase and I am not a traveler I am the lover and the land is the beloved Hail the people of Lebanon who remain steadfast in the south" Mahmoud Darwish Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) Lebanon 1970
In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.
Oscar Wilde (via lonequixote)
You don’t love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.
Oscar Wilde

ZENY FUENTES - ALEBRIJES DE OAXACA
Es un artesano de madera de la generación del pueblo de San Martín Tilcajete, Oaxaca. Nació en 1973 y aprendió a tallar madera cuando tenía solamente siete años con el apoyo de su papa, Epifanio Fuentes Vásquez y su abuelo, Zenen Fuentes Méndez. Ahora Zeny continúa la tradición en su taller familiar donde crea arte increíble con su esposa, Reyna Piña Ramírez y sus cuatro hijos.
Todas nuestras piezas son hechas a mano de la madera de copal.
Esta madera es tradicional de Oaxaca y es muy importante también porque la usamos para sacar incienso para uso religioso, principalmente en la festividad de día de muertos.
Cada pieza es única, decorada con cariño a mano con pinceles y espinas de maguey. Siempre usamos símbolos que refieres a la cultura, historia y naturaleza de los valles centrales de Oaxaca…

As an artist I have painted Frida Kahlo many times. Most often I've depicted her in a somewhat glamorous light; not unlike the way she often preferred to depict herself in daily life. However Frida was a complex individual. She had a very specific worldview. Hers was a life dedicated to the belief in a people's revolution. Here I represent her as a revolutionary, engaged in the struggle. Now in reality Frida was beset by numerous health problems, and could not engage in such activity, so this scene is that of a pure fantasy: Kahlo's alter ego, La Guerrillera. When I first created this image, I got a bit of disapproval. I was asked why I represented Frida armed with a gun, why weren't there flowers in her hair, and why was she so ROUGH looking. My answer was simple: Why not? The Revolution needs ALL of us.
