xvi - the tower

i am a seed in my bed of earth my heavy soil blankets, my dark and dirty veils water me with your tears and i shall grow you a headstone i build you a monument in bone you who planted me here my sculptor filled with searing light and planted next to me

[brewded]

say my name

“god, give me a daughter,” my mother would pray

for she had three sons (so she thought, anyway)

and now that i’m different, i just want to say

god gave you a daughter you turned her away

Me

[barryelbeardo]

I’ve been searching for this for time!

[brewded]

come sit with me

in cold november the wind shakes rain from her skirts, from her cool, grey ceilings and dark days pass quickly and we dig deep into closets

wide windows look out on concrete and dying ivy, which waves goodnight as it settles in turn in your covers, wrapped up with the rest in warm, woody darkness

alone for an hour, i sit cross-legged in the still heart of my tiny apartment, and turn on all the lights surrounded by white walls and the quiet of snow

Teen With Epilepsy Has A Seizure When Her Service Dog Is Distracted

This article is too important for me to just post a link that you probably won’t click through to read.  THIS is why you DO NOT EVER pet service dogs.  They are working and it can mean serious injury or even death if you are distracting them from doing their job.

Did anyone else see the frida kahlo doll that Barbie I believe is making? Its fucking appalling and I’m sick of white people

[fakeblack]

Like this is such disgusting bullshit and frida was a socalist she would never want to be apart of these big corporations

[andysmovingcastle]

they also didnt have permission to use frida kahlo’s image, her relatives have released a statement about mattel’s use of frida’s image: https://twitter.com/FridaKahlo

[cryptidcaper]

If I remember right Frida said she hated anything she didn’t make herself with her image on it for sale, which is why I dont really buy anything with her image on it. This is just gross not only is this against her family’s wishes but shes fucking whitewashed too.

photos by gerry ellis from the david sheldrick wildlife trust, a nursery and orphanage for elephants in kenya’s tsavo east national park. here, fifty five keepers are charged with being around the clock parents to an elephant. the elephants, however, are the ones who chose their caretakers; it is the keepers who must ingratiate themselves to the elephants and earn their trust.

when elephants first arrive at the orphanage they are often traumatized from having witnessed the slaughter of their mothers and family by poachers. grieving can last several months, and they often lose the will to live. but as dame daphne sheldrick, founder of the orphanage, explains, a caretaker is charged with “persuading an elephant to live when it wants to die.”

approximately 35,000 elephants are killed by humans every year. with an estimated 350,000 elephants left in the whole continent of africa, they will be gone in the wild within ten years.

cbc’s the nature of things did a program on the elephants and their caretakers. you can foster an elephant with the david sheldrick wildlife trust online here. for more on the emotional lives of elephants, as well as the david sheldrick wildlife trust and other human efforts to save the animals, check out these posts

If you’re autistic and/or have ADHD like me, I recommend switching to ‘Simple English’ when reading lengthy and complex Wikipedia articles because it makes it so much easier to take in, comprehend, and understand

[stebens]

how to do:

On the sidebar on the left, there’s a list of languages listed in alphabetical order, so you have to scroll down a bit to find ‘Simple English’. But even if you can’t, you can just edit the URL from en.wikipedia.org to simple.wikipedia.org

Here’s an example of the difference between English wiki and Simple English wiki:
