Écriture Féminine

I love the women in my life

Okay, I will be honest, “women in my life” is vague.  

I could be referring to women of my past, present, or future.  Or, my mom, best friends, or sisters, classmates. To clarify, I’m talking about all of ‘em.  The women I’ve laborious written long notes detailing every fear/aspiration and those to whom I’ve spent a single drunken night.  One thing that THEY have in common:

They confuse me… constantly.

Because these women are indecisive, feeble, relenting, ever-changing YET true to themselves… what they are NOT is what I or others believe should be their essences…

THEY BECOME SHE BECOME HER

and that is where the confusion lies… how could she do that?? (I think)why won’t she just (I question)… I wish she would (I advise) she’s such a ________(insert incredible adjective) woman can’t she…

…………….but then to see her in action..

her as her..

smiling truthfully at her life as she manifests it…

….OR…

her as her…

crying truthfully at her life as she manifests it…

hers is hers

HER AS THEM

And that’s why I love them… because I’m blown away by their truths that extend waaaaay beyond my understanding

My rookie/sister-from-another-mother/reincarnated soulmate and I would open up the windows of our Dominican host family’s house and put this song on FULL BLAST… and dance,

         dance,

thepeoplesrecord: The Obama administration approved an additional $70 million for an Israeli missile defense program, also known as the “Iron Dome.”  …on top of the $200 million already set aside for Israel’s missile defense. …..and on top of the $3 billion in U.S. military annual aid.  Meanwhile in the U.S., schools are being closed, student debt has surpassed $1 trillion this year, thousands of homes are being foreclosed, 50 million Americans still don’t have health insurance & the list goes on. Instead, billions are going to Israel for weapons & tanks to terrorize Palestinians, destroy their homes, hospitals & schools, & imprison them without any formal charge.

Racism really needs to stop being seen as a form of ignorance… that approach has proven to be ineffective

tumblr, I’ve missed you something terrible!!

Look, she says: “I used to think there was a Republican attitude and language that, although I vehemently disagreed with it because I thought it was fraudulent, it wasn’t dumb. It made some sort of sense. If you really and truly think that the United States is free, and capital is free – none of that’s true, but if you really believe it – you can develop an argument that’s not embarrassing. But they don’t do that any more. They use coded words. Did you see that the other day – Rick Santorum said ‘the man in the Whitehouse is a government nig – uh?”

Yes, he says he misspoke. Morrison bursts out laughing. “He said he didn’t say that! They used to say ‘government nigger’ when black people got jobs in the post office, stuff like that. And that’s what he was saying. And earlier he said, ‘I don’t want to take your money and give it to bla – people.’ He catches himself right at the vowel. Man. I guess it was worse in South Africa before Mandela, but I can’t do it any more.” She sighs. “At some level, you know, it hurts. It really hurts.”
