There’s this great feeling welling up inside of me. This feeling of being a part of something great. That something great is starting. The enormity of it is daunting. The responsibility maybe bigger than me. It may take all of me to simply survive. Maybe I won’t. The feeling of excitement. Of anticipation. Of fear. All churning inside me.

Sometimes people have a hard time understanding what a happy relationship between two people who obvs think the other is awesome looks like.

We think this is one great (and holy bananas, so freaking hilarious) example.

Amazing!! I love this so much

This Just made my night that much better.

Will be my fav viral video for a long time.

Erykah Badu Interviews Kendrick Lamar

Sat, 11 May 2013 12:31:53 -0700

BADU: How do you choose chicks from backstage?
LAMAR: How do I choose chicks from backstage?
BADU: Yeah, what is the protocol?
LAMAR: I try not to. [laughs] I’m too scared. Anybody who knows me knows that I’m probably the most scared person when it comes to that because I’m so caught up in the act of sex, of something going crazy, going out of my control. I’m too paranoid.
BADU: [laughs] So you just pass?
LAMAR: I’ve got to because I’ve seen a situation where it got totally out of hand, where something seemed so innocent, and now this person has got allegations on them. It spooked me. This was before my career really started, though—before any “Kendrick Lamar.” And that right there? It changed my whole perception about certain things. I’ll always keep that in the back of my head.

BADU: So who is your asshole-checker?
LAMAR: Who is my what?
BADU: Your asshole-checker—the person in your crew or your family who let’s you know if you’re being a asshole.
LAMAR: I have two, actually. [both laugh] But the main one is a friend of mine—a lady friend who has known me since high school. She has always been someone, since day one, who has said something whenever I’m an asshole, or also if I’m doin’ something positive—but more so when I’m out of my element.

BADU: What’s your favorite cereal?
LAMAR: Fruity Pebbles. When people ask for my rider, they think I’m crazy: Fruity Pebbles, baked chicken, bottle of Hennessy, and some Polo socks.

BADU: What do you, as a man, envy about what it means to be a woman?
LAMAR: There’s just a certain knowledge instilled in a woman. There are these things that women have that men just can’t grasp: the understanding of love; the understanding of being; having a certain type of care in your heart and knowing when to be compassionate; knowing how to be a confidante…
BADU: That’s a good perspective. Something I envy that men have is that ability to grow a goatee. I think that’d be really hot on me.

“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.”

I can’t believe I’m now going to be entering my third and last year of law school. It’s been a crazy ride. I started out putting myself out there, focusing too much on other people and got burned. Still as I write this I realize I am focused on those other people rather than myself and who I am.
Law school is a den of vice and vanity in a lot of ways. But I think doing me, finding my niche, focusing my time only on people who are worth it, and not having fucks to give for the drama, I think that’s helping me.

Our present

Thu, 09 May 2013 12:07:59 -0700

Watching this video of a kid schooling his teacher about teaching made me concern. Is our society becoming so over privileged and lazy that we cannot even do the basic jobs we are ascribed unless we get some immediate, direct benefit? Teachers pass out “packets” without even teaching a subject. You’re suppose to learn on your own. And instead the teacher is only concerned with her “paycheck”.
With this attitude we do not construct a solid foundation for anything. Instead we cultivate negativity, and a leeching attitude. With television and film concerned only with profit making and not with sending a purposeful message or keeping up with any morals, we contribute to degradation of the fabrics of our society, simply valuing one another. Perhaps we take it all for granted and need to see society without it to see its value. Individualism simply cultivates a culture of self-serving.

"It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that..."

“It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.”

- Hugh Laurie

The Largest LGBT Donors Are Drone Manufacturers:

Inequality draped in a rainbow flag is still inequality. Queer justice is bound up with justice for the people exploited by LGBT corporate donors.
