Prunelle: Again and Again and Again:

prunelle:

You said the anger would come back
just as the love did.

I have a black look I do not
like. It is a mask I try on.
I migrate toward it and its frog
sits on my lips and defecates.
It is old. It is also a pauper.
I have tried to keep it on a diet.
I give it no unction.

There is a good…

TIME MAGAZINE: "(Los Angeles) passed a resolution voicing support for the (Occupy L.A.) movement. (Organizer Matt) Rolufs was thrilled when city officials said that Occupy Los Angeles had inspired them to move forward on a policy initiative to demand accountability from big banks. While protesters in other cities have battled with the police, Los Angeles is letting around 700 people spend the night on city hall's lawn even though it's against the law. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa even handed out ponchos to campers during a rainstorm. But the city council went even further in its resolution by urging implementation of a proposal known as the Responsible Banking program because it would address some of the protesters' concerns. 'Isn't that great?' says Rolufs, 38, a software engineer who drives 40 miles from work to Occupy Los Angeles to run the committee every day. 'The people came together and raised their pitchforks in the air, and as a result we're the impetus for change."

Members of the news media: the New York City Police Department’s Deputy Commissioner for Public Information (DCPI) is at (646) 610-6700. The Mayor’s Press Office is at (212) 788-2958. Do your jobs and call them and ask why this happened. Ask why the NYPD is resorting to netting to make arrests during a PEACEFUL PROTEST — on a WEEKEND, no less. And ask them why SOME police officers seem to forget that we are now living in the 21st century where ANYONE who has a cell phone also has a CAMERA, and that if they act like ASSHOLES, their actions WILL BE RECORDED. Probably by Jesus H. Christ himself.

A young man of color arrested in Union Square earlier today doing literally nothing but crossing the street.

I am fucking shaking with anger. This video shows Union Square earlier today. Clearly there is a protest but the area immediately surrounding the guy with the camera is just observers and people milling around. Watch the guy in the red shirt. From the vimeo link:

As you can see at around 0:30, a young man in a red shirt, Glenn Daniels Jr, is walking near the sidewalk with hundreds of other protestors. The crowd was attempting to cross the street to continue the march south down Broadway from Union Square. Daniels is peacefully walking with a water bottle, not committing any crime. At 0:35 he is approached by an NYPD officer and pushed towards the sidewalk. At 0:38 a senior police officer in a white shirt quickly approaches and grabs Daniels and another young man with a beard and backpack. The lighter skinned man is let go, but Daniels is arrested. The remainder of the video shows NYPD officers cuffing and detaining Daniels.

Unbefuckinglievable. He’s doing fucking nothing.

A friend of mine sent this to me to post:

This is the year I finished my undergraduate thesis.

This is the year I managed to increase my love for my partner, when I thought I was love maxed out.

This is the year I am pursuing one of my long term goals, in a french city, in the summer.

This is also the year I gained 12 pounds. Which one do you think I mention the most?

I’m honestly not sure. I’ve been teeny tiny my whole life (which is a set of body issues all itself) which means short, tiny boobies, tiny butt. I just come to terms with those things and bam… little pixie is developing herself a gut gut. I make jokes about getting fat, and how I will work out soon, “Its not about the weight”, I tell myself “Its about my health”.

But its really about the gut gut. The most hated of the natural female forms. The victorians called it part of our “silken layer”; how lovely, a protective, smooth coat of arms that makes my body desireable, mysterious, sensuous. I am no longer a size XXS in my underpants. Super tight form-fitting dresses are not helping me out. Possibly making me look like I am in the early stages of pregnancy. I know I am not “fat”. But part of me lack that “teeny tinyness” that has become part of how I define myself, my difference from the rest of the world.

But my partner thinks I’m beautiful. He has a gut gut too. He is beginning to look at his sweet little man paunch with a worried eye. How can he help it, I grab and hate on mine every time I take my clothes off. He must assume I see his the same way. I don’t. I love the furry, taut little underbelly that warms my back when I sleep, provides a comfortable hand hold while watching movies, and an occasional “rasberry” landing pad when I am feeling silly.

I try to hard to have a “sweet little lady paunch” when I look down, but as my computer pushes against it- it becomes once more, the dreaded gut gut.

A seemingly drunk moose was discovered entangled in an apple tree by a Swede in Goteborg, Sweden. Per Johansson, 45, says he heard a roar from his vacationing neighbour’s garden and went to have a look. There, he found a female moose kicking about in the tree. The animal was likely drunk from eating fermented apples.
