Neda

In a place where screaming out your beliefs will get you killed, Neda took a bullet to the heart. The heart, damn it -- that magic piece of our complex bodies where all things come alive!

You have to read the attached article and see the video.

This is the world we live in! And WE take our liberties for granted sometimes. I can go out and raise a sign blasting Obama. I can go dancing at a parade full of fruits and such. I can oppose oppose oppose freely and openly. But some can’t.

F*ck! This makes me angry. God, have mercy. The heavens must be shaking now.

Neda! Her soft face! Her young life! Those eyes with a hundred stories to tell – oh, but the million reasons why she couldn’t!

This video is extremely graphic. I do not recommend viewing it if you’re sensitive in any way. I do recommend reading the article though. So copy and paste the link below.

Home


I woke up this morning
and finally realized
I no longer miss him.

Now, I may rest.

"i don't want to get attached,"

and what a shame shame shame shame
but whatever

requesting hugs
and sex sex sex
"i miss you," you say
and i cry.

Pride.

At the end of the month, NYC's annual Pride parade will take place. We get a day, but fuck it -- I'm making it a month!

Happy Pride!
