Happy Good Friday to those who observe it! To celebrate, here are two good Internet things.
One: Tibetan youth resistance hip-hop music video.
With gorgeous lines like:
- “Get used to me! I am the decadent breath of your uncontrollability.”
- “We are the sharp wisdom that your lectures and speeches haven’t reached!”
- “We are the smooth darkness that your flame and power hasn’t absorbed.”
- “I am very light, in your imagination. I am very small, in your vegetable patch.”
- “Get used to dreaming. Get used to unlawful damage and uprisings. Get used to this way of living.”
And Two: this powerful, deep, soulful project by my friend Mahfam: Watch Me Cultivate. Honest, raw, and mad intelligent, she offers daily reflections and chronicles her own growth and change, symbolized by the literal growth of her hair, which she buzzed off 78 days ago (and counting).
Enjoy! Have a great weekend, folks — see you Monday.
Katie! I hadn’t seen this! Thanks for the plug & the kind words, sis. <3 your blog & your self. (& this video!)
Mahfam, you hella inspire me, and that’s all I have to say right now. :)
