Bed In Summer
In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle-light.
In summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day.
I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people’s feet
Still going past me in the street.
And does it not seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day?
Woah. Woah. This pop culture (is it actually popular?) comparison is making me OK with the current state of politics.
Mohammed Alfarra, a Palestinian rapper from Gaza who decided to resit the occupation nonviolently through music. Check it out, it’s good stuff!
Photo Series of the Day: In 2003, Bob Carey started photographing himself wearing a tutu in various places “as a lark.” But, after his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, The Tutu Project became so much more — it became a way to laugh again. Now, with Ballerina — a collection of Carey’s tutu photos — it’s also a way to raise money to help other breast cancer patients.
The net proceeds from the sale of the book will go directly to breast cancer organizations, including Cancercare.org and the Beth Israel Department of Integrative Medicine Fund, that make significant differences in the lives of women with breast cancer and in the people who love them. Our goal is to raise $75,000. But we need your help to seed the project so it will take root and grow—and positively affect these families.
