Laurie Anderson turns 64 today. “Being a somewhat dark person myself,” she once said, explaining her attraction to Moby-Dick, “I fell in love with the idea that the mysterious thing you look for your whole life will eventually eat you alive.” (photo via i12bent)
You should go on Skype since you seem to be on tumblr just like me, at this late hour.
And cause I miss you.
This is a photo of the first Black girl to attend an all white school in the United States—Dorothy Counts—being jeered and taunted by her white, male peers. This photo encompasses a lot of things that I really hate: prejudice, ignorance, racism, sexism, inequality…
I’ve reblogged this photo a few times before but it always needs to be reblogged again.
This picture makes me really sad. I am unbelievably impressed with her bravery.
People like this woman, and the strength and bravery they have shown in their lives is absolutely awe inspiring.
I love her face. It’s pure defiance. It’s “Come at me, bro” in it’s purest form. She’s a hero.

we’re terrified of one another,
terrified of what that means,
but we’ll make only quick decisions
and you’ll just keep me in the waiting room,
and all the while i know we’re fucked
and not getting unfucked soon…
“Blindsided”-Bon Iver.
Even though I love Bon Iver all year round, I kind-of think of them as winter music. And I’m also realizing that I think of a lot of bands/musicians I love as winter music, like Andrew Bird and The National. I’m also realizing I can’t think of any bands I consider summer music. Maybe Of Montreal? Or maybe I’m just a winter person.
On that note, its snowing!
