Disorientation Guide
I have not written in awhile.
Half truth. I have been writing for a publication called the Disorientation Guide. It is dedicated to shifting the paradigms of innocent but interested freshman as they enter the problematic and challenging institution of UC Santa Cruz. Our goal was to break down radical theories, histories, and concepts in a way that made them accessible for people who may never of...
Still its shock to your soft side
SUPPORT THE RAGING PELICAN'S KICKSTART FOR 3 NEW... →
This is one of the most fantastic projects I saw during my 6 months in New Orleans. Honest, challenging, militant, and hopeful journalism. The latest journal is hanging on my wall as I write this. I can’t stress this enough- spread this kickstarter far and wide. Do not let BP’s violent propaganda go unchallenged.

Back to concrete.
Gasoline drips from tail pipes.
Back to 90 degree angles.
I swear I can still hear the whisper of tunes- or my brain is unwilling to accept the silence.

1. White terrorists are called “gunmen.” What does that even mean? A person with a gun? Wouldn’t that be, like, everyone in the US? Other terrorists are called, like, “terrorists.”
2. White terrorists are “troubled loners.” Other terrorists are always suspected of being part of a global plot, even when they are obviously troubled loners.
3. Doing a study on the danger of white terrorists at...

A morning with Blue Scholars
Coffeed up and ready to rumble.
No, seriously, sometimes the sheer scale of this fight is overwhelming. I sleep in an extra hour and imagine that my reality does stretch past my pale purple sheets.
But the sunlight eventually teases my eyelids open, still I just lay there.

Wholeness
I refuse to wash my clothes.
Like a lover I want that smokey smell to permeate my skin. Never letting me forget that fleeting magic.
I have spent my days longing for something that by its very definition can only be temporary.
Any longer and the mundane violence of daily logistics would once again create the Real. Shattering our complicity in the time out of time.
So now I sit, knee deep in...

I carry everyone with me.
You are never far out of my reach.
Each one a stitch in my side.
Because for me, love is like quilting.
