I think this might be one of the funniest replies to a post on here that I’ve ever seen
What this headline leaves out is that they kidnapped him by doing the standard mob thing of driving a car up, pointing a gun at him, and saying “get in”. Fats thought he was gonna be killed until Al told him he was a huge fan
do u play fighting games
Every time i step outside
did you guys see the poem from a couple of days ago in poetry dot org’s daily poem it was so good and a treat to read
been thinking about it since i read it
Oh oh oh this is Layli Long Soldier!!! She’s an Oglala Lakota poet, her work is incredible, and she does things like this a lot!!!!
She uses form as a way to destabilize English, as a direct way to respond to and critique colonialism and linguistic colonialism. A lot of her work engages with Lakota language as well, and very much pounds on the door of all the ways English is limiting, restricting, and destructive to Native American languages, as well as being incredibly unsuited to talking about Native American issues. She feels deeply the injustice of talking about the horrors of colonialization in a colonizer’s language, and her poetry is so damn good at expressing that.
The connection between land, language, family, and self is alive in her work, and I cannot recommend her enough.
Her first full-length collection was published in 2017 and is called Whereas. It is, among other things, a scathing and in-depth critique of the Congressional Resolution of Apology to Native Americans, which was signed in 2009 and is essentially a sham document which never actually admits to any wrongdoings nor uses the word “apologize” in the body of the text, and was also not actually directed towards any Native person or peoples. The second half of Long Soldier’s collection just rips the whole thing to shreds. The rest of the collection is a deep exploration of language, motherhood, family, and identity. It’s so, so, so good.
Here are some poems from it!! (I’m sorry for the image quality, my camera and lighting suck).
Love goth culture but not really loving this prevalent shift into distinct gender presentation that's developed as its become accepted in society. Or the... I guess gentrification is the wrong word.
Like. You remember goths with huge ratty hair and KISS makeup and men in heels and corsets and women in huge shapeless sweaters till you couldn't tell who was under what? Remember when the clothes were hand-shredded from the thrift store for five dollars and some spit?
My first black lipstick was eyeliner. What's this Women Get Crop Tops Only For $60 crap. What's this Being Goth Too Expensive shit. Girl draw ur nails on with sharpie and embrace damnation wtfff
Alt fashion being gentrified (which is the right word, you nailed it) is the most bullshit thing. My forebears didn't thrift/shoplift leather and jeans and hold their clothes together with pins and dye their hair together at whoever's house had a sink sprayer just so modern punks could lament the cost of a good battle jacket and ripped pair of off-the-rack jeans like! Girl!! Rip them yourself!! Throw box dye in your hair and leave it on for an hour before rinsing in the sink!! Keep your jeans for so long they tear THEN pin that shit together!! The entire point was that we didn't contribute to the capitalist machine by buying new things!!
Cheap, shitty, and now!!
You want a fishnet/mesh shirt? Get those halloween costume tights, or others that are on clearance. You cut off the toes, cut a hole in the crotch, and that's your shirt. (Psst! You can also use striped tights for this.) I like the Halloween costume kind because they are usually all fishnet without the more solid upper shorts bit regular tights often have, and they're usually way cheaper even when they're not on clearance.
Get cheap black clothing, bleach, and cheap paintbrushes or cotton swabs (or a bleach pen). Put a layer of cardboard between the layers of fabric and paint whatever you want on it with your bleach. (Search for "bleach painting" for more detail and inspo.) (I think some people use spray bottles bottles, too, but I've never tried that.)
Add safety pins to everything. Hell, string them together into a necklace and dangle charms from individual pins.
Get your black lipstick (or other uncommon color, like green) when halloween makeup is out. Wet n Wild often have fairly inexpensive products, and they're pretty good quality in my experience. (Plus sometimes you can find them on clearance even cheaper.)
You can get chain from the jewelry making/craft section and diy jewelry, or add chain to belts, hats, jackets, bags, whatever. (You can also salvage them from things like old wallets or decorative belts made from chain, which you can sometimes find in thrift stores.) Dog chains also work.
You can also as lace trim to pretty much anything, if that's more your style.
Found something at the (thrift or other) store, but it isn't black? Fabric dye, to the rescue!
Think outside the ready-made box, my lovely creatures of the night. Experiment! Get creative! Don't be afraid of things not turning out perfect!
Also: you don't have to be in all black. Jewel tones are common, but so are pastels. Be unlimited by stereotypes, and flourish 🖤
if you’re playing rock paper scissors and you do the same attack you have to kiss
