Chapel Hill(/Carrboro)/WhatShouldWeCallMe theme - When I find out the guy I’ve been eyeing is both single and straight (enough)
I’ll I do is #SMDH RT @HuffingtonPost The drug debate goes mainstream
In light of the disastrous consequences of the war on drugs, we took the initiative four years ago to convene a Latin American Commission on Drugs and Democracy — and, more recently, a Global Commission on Drug Policy. Our core message was clear: The war on drugs has failed, with devastating consequences for individuals and societies throughout the Americas.
Thank you, “2011 UNC Mom” @dailytarheel commenter on article about @UNC_Ceremony12, for surfacing this idea that being a student makes one incapable of doing “real world” things. Thank you for suggesting that it’s impossible to challenge the status quo. Thank you for portraying the stereotypical character of a complacent, comfortable albeit frustrated middle-aged woman, critiquing the visionary actions of progressive-dreaming university students. I certainly hope the student loans she/her husband/her children took out to send her child/ren to UNC don’t continue to haunt them.
another opportunity for some e-public shaming #noregretz
so remember “mi corazon paulita” - the panhandling smelly ptsd squatter street kid (for the sake of not coming of as completely heartless, none of these labels are inherently negative attributes of the boy) - well long story short after having him tell me he wanted to relocated to carrboro to settle for a bit and more or less be with me (“take on more of a boyfriend role”) and then occupying my life, doing very little for himself and accepting the fact that he isn’t capable of being with me in my school-working for the man-heavy side of activism lifestyle, he communicates very little and then, in response to me messaging him a sort of riot act, he says:
i was with you because its what you wanted. i never wanted to continue it, your a nice girl…i tried. and yes, i left to go be with my girl. my girl, who i’m going to pick up right now. didnt mean to belittle your life. thought youd be capable of growing from our time together. but for real..get over it or get pissed, but im not gonna have anything to do with it.
well, buddy boy, this is my way of getting over it.
a nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom - mlk jr.
Out of everything I gained from the past few days with @Walkupy…
camping out with them last night for the GA was quite powerful not to mention reenergizing. Understatedly not my first GA of the sort, I sat by the fire and became even more aware - aware of the nature of our movement, that moments of contention are going come up time and time again yet both knowledge and love can conquer all. Sitting out in the middle of Hidden Lake Campgrounds, a space provided free of charge, on a paddle boat with LiveStreaming Darrin to my right steered by a big baby named Kid and mi corazón Paulita, I realized that the whole world is watching. Around the campfire, Garth loaded up a local Fox report about them being in town. Seeing such positive coverage of our cause at large, juxtaposed in time with “business” via order/process ultimately ending with brother/sister/personhood, reminded me how the future, though scary, excites me!
