If you reblog something of mine, please don’t write “follow for free grunge here” beneath it

or “soft white grunge, bitches!”

or “pale pink pretty blog”

or “I follow back”

just reblog it and enjoy it.

Don’t self-promote, please. It just looks bad and it’s extremely annoying and conceited.

xo

seriously all the self-promo re blogging in the Tumblr community has got to go

though every movie we’ve seen ends
tears and explosions
kissing
credits
nobody loves like the movies
everybody loves
like children, waiting
for something brighter

Tonight’s Cantab feature is the fantastic, indomitable Rachel McKibbens. Let her smash your heart open with a full half-hour of her work, and watch this video of her performing “The First Time” at Hampshire College for a taste of what she can do with words.

I miss the cantab so so so much. Also, Rachel is a fierce wonderful example of self-empowerment.

He was beautiful like New York City. 
I could see the lights in his eyes. 
He rarely slept but he was full of life. 
I could see the yellow cabs racing through his blood stream. 
I could see the brick walls full of graffiti in his soul.
He was beautiful like New York City.

Because this is brilliant.  Or  Doesn’t this offer up a whole new perspective on the actions of men?

This is powerful. Thought provoking.

The mistakes I tend to make in my first draft are too many adjectives. When I type it up and look at it, I try to take out half the adjectives and a third of the self-pity.
