HAHAHA watch this footage from the local news in pittsburgh -- about CMU showing porn in our university center's auditorium

(btw, i TOTALLY walked by that reporter tonight on my way home from dance practice. that MIGHT be me in the background at the very end, although it just looks like a tiny shadow-figure moving behind him, so it's impossible to tell)

op-ed piece about women in africa, following the election of the first female president of an african country:

These were the women I grew up with in Liberia, the women all across Africa - the worst place there is to be a woman - who somehow manage to carry that entire continent on their backs.

In Liberia, when their sons were kidnapped and drugged to fight for rebel factions, and when their husbands came home from brothels and infected them with H.I.V., and when government soldiers invaded their houses and raped them in front of their teenage sons, these were the women who picked themselves up and kept going. They kept selling fish, cassava and kola nuts so they could feed their families. They gave birth to the children of their rapists in the forests and carried the children on their backs as they balanced jugs of water on their heads.

great article about our generation's detachment:

If a teenager can feel a steel bolt through her tongue move whenever she speaks, at least she knows she inhabits her own body, even if she doubts her own soul.
