I was very obvious to her that she had lost and he had won.
Sitting alone on the park bench, cliched as the end of many sappy and pretentious films, she looked out at the sun (no, it was not setting or rising, at least it was not that cliched) and felt her eyes burn. For yes, she was looking directly at the sun as a punishment for what she perceived as her mistakes. If only that were her the end...

In South Asia, this mentality continues to limit and constrict the creative ability of millions of children. While medicine and engineering are powerful careers in bringing prosperity and change to life, they should not be labelled as the only livelihoods to opt for. In a letter to his father,…

Eve's Apology in Defense of Women
twicedailypoetry:
(Amelia Lanyer was one of the first British female poets, certainly the first to assert herself as one . This is an excerpt from her poem ‘Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum,’ from the book of the same name, which marked her as a radical and proto-feminist. Lanyer has been considered as a candidate for the ‘Dark Lady’ of Shakespeare’s sonnets, as well as the author of Shakespeare’s plays...

bitchitoldyouigottaste:
I was attempting to translate the lyrics to ‘Black Crow’, an old Russian folk song about this dying soldier, and I got:
“Black crow! Black crow, why do you fly above me?
From me you’ll get no output!”
And I just imagined this little Russian peasant dude shaking his fists at the sky

paxvalkyrie:
Here’s a dose of some warm fuzzies:
A long time ago (about a year), in a galaxy far, far away (or just on Geekosystem), Susana wrote about the story of first-grader Katie Goldman. Katie became a huge fan of Star Wars, and when the school year started, she was excited to bring along her Star Wars water bottle and a Star Wars backpack … until some bullies at school told her that...

For fuck’s sake. Why is this all so hard?
I swear, people will fight harder...

I have been very consumed by everything else in my life. For the first time in my life, the internet (besides email) has become an afterthought. Social networking sites have really taken a backseat, and I don’t frequent any other websites at all.
