Lament (trigger warning)

(response to “Howl”)
I.
I saw so many women of generations told they were mad mad mad, living their truths got them in trouble but they did it despite the consequence, gorgeous filth spewing from their mouths they were told was not-so-proper for a lady, who tattoos & traincars & death heads & monthly blood screamed at the cold blue moon...

Hey y’all, I know it’s kind of cliche/annoyingly cryptic move to be all, “I’m Taking a Break from the Internet,” but — I have to Take a Break from the Internet.
Also, I’ve un-followed and/or “hidden” a lot of people from my blogs & Facebook, so please don’t take this as a personal affront. Despite my previous mocking entry, the...

retail adventures

How Love Came to Us (Eric Evans)
dreaminginthedeepsouth:

Through the patient forbearance of...

– Charles Bukowski (via thechocolatebrigade)
Disclaimer: Usually the Bukowski myth (another tortured alcoholic male writer, oh spare me) fills me with a rage that burns my eyes, but reputation aside I’ve occasionally read some True Shit from him that gets me all teary-eyed.

“… I want to prove that charitable giving is not wedded to the act of shopping. And since I’m so much better at pointing out what’s wrong with everything than at offering solutions, here’s what you should do if you want to help the fight against breast cancer:

mappingthemoon:
Infighting & class warfare among the “radicals” means CAPITALISM IS WINNING.
I’m pretty sure the existence of homeless people means CAPITALISM IS WINNING, but whatever.

So anyway: a) what you are doing is classist b) and if we are not allowed to talk about how stuff is classist unless we are poor, we are certainly not allowed to talk about “class...

When in town, always respect the local law and officials, and try to be a gentleman at all times.
Don’t take...
