Friday nights

[ala-place-clichy]

                                                   I want a night                                                        with you.                                                    I want to close                                                      the curtains.                                                 I want to lay in bed                                               and feel you breathing.                                                I want the only noise                                                    to be my inhale                                               replying to your exhale.                                            I want to trace my fingers                                            along every line and curve                                                     of your back.                                             I want to feel your face                                               buried into my neck.                                               I want to lay like this                                               and feel every worry                                                         melt                                           the same way that I melt                                               when I am with you.

When I have to lesson plan on the weekend:

[passivemanipulations]

Project for my Social Psych class last semester. This poster series was created to 1) challenge these internalized stereotypes by bringing them to the viewer’s attention and 2) expand the range of role models by including a diverse group of women. Each poster follows the same basic pattern: a woman who has demonstrated her competency in a particular area refutes the stereotype that appears above her in the form of “Girls can’t …”. While the posters target girls ranging from children to young adults, I expect the message would also cause people outside that demographic to question their own beliefs about women and power.  I designed each aspect of the posters with several principles of social psychology in mind:

People with poor mathematical skills, aren’t necessarily bad at math because they are ‘ungifted’. There is a phenomena called ‘Math Anxiety’ that makes people perform worse, which sometimes leads to math avoidance, which leads to lesser knowledge and consequently more Math anxiety.

I’ve reblogged this before, and will always reblog it since I talk about Finland frequently.  Imagine having a 1 to 12 ratio?!  That’d be SO incredible.

And I can’t help but to run my fingers down your spine like you are my favorite book. But I still cannot read you, you are your own language. Your pages are tired and torn, but I want you, I want it all.

"It does not say ‘Give me English-speaking only, Christian-believing heterosexual masses.’ “

Holy mackeral, Brenda, you wrecked them.  My jaw-dropped at this part of the response.  

It might be because I just came from my sociolinguistics class, an immigrant’s daughter, or the fact that I’m a thinking and appreciative human being, but this is fabulous.  (Aside from whatever money-making ploys are involved.)

And one other thing before I hop off Brenda’s soapbox: Isn’t it even MORE beautiful that different languages are singing the praises of their new home country, infusing a little bit of themselves into a song that unites them with so many others, sharing a part of their identity as part of a whole identity, shaping America’s identity?
