Coretta Scott King: “I must remind you that starving a child is violence. Suppressing a culture is violence. Neglecting schoolchildren is violence. Punishing a mother and her family is violence. Discrimination against a working man is violence. Ghetto housing is violence. Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence.”

Charles Eisenstein: “Love is the expansion of the self to include the other. And that’s a different kind of revolution.”

both quoted in this amazing post by Eireann Lorsung.

To which I’ll add: “Love is the answer and you know that for sure.” –from another poet for peace, John Lennon.

Bad, bad girl.

The list of things you should never do includes: walk 45 minutes home in blazing sunshine with no sunscreen on.
But you know what? I’m doin’ it anyway! That’s exactly the kind of daredevil I am. Hahahahahahaha, sometimes I really crack myself up.
Dear (already grotesque anyway) upper arms: prepare to have a nice Farmer tan for the rest of the summer. Sucks for you!

To crib from Al Franken, “Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them”

Wow. I’m flabbergasted. I just found out someone has been telling me a lie. A fairly big lie that has involved numerous “edits” to numerous conversations. FOR MONTHS. And the reason for telling the lie…was to not “alienate” me.

Here’s a little piece of advice: being lied to is alienating all on its own.

Yes, I know, I have kinda a “thing” about being lied to. My mom has remarked on that it bothers me a lot more than it bothers you know say your average normal person when they get lied to. Bygones. This is me. This is how I feel. I can’t be YOU on MY web site, can I?
