La holoturia se divide en dos ante el peligro: suelta un yo a la voracidad del mundo, con el otro huye.

En el acto se bifurca en fatalidad y salvación, en multa y premio, en lo que fue y lo que será.

En mitad de su cuerpo se abre un abismo con bordes al acto convertidos en dos desconocidos.

En un borde, la muerte; en el otro, la vida. Aquí, desesperación; allá, aliento.

Si hay balanza, no se desnivelan los platillos. Si hay justicia, ¡hela aquí!

Morir lo imprescindible, sin pasarse de la raya. Y, del resto salvado, rebrotar lo necesario.

También nosotros sabemos dividirnos, es verdad. Pero sólo en cuerpo y en susurro que se quiebra. En cuerpo, y en poesía.

La garganta a un lado; al otro, la risa, ligera y al pronto sofocada.

Aquí, oprimido, el corazón; allá non omnis moriar, sólo tres palabras, tres plumas al vuelo.

El abismo no nos escinde. El abismo nos rodea.

Autonomía - Wisława Szymborska Traducción de Jerzy Skvomirsky y Ana María Moix

VIII

¡Oh, Muerte, venerable capitana, ya es tiempo! ¡Levemos el ancla! Esta tierra nos hastía, ¡oh, Muerte! ¡Aparejemos! ¡Si el cielo y la mar están negros como la tinta, Nuestros corazones, a los que tú conoces, están radiantes!

¡Viértenos tu veneno para que nos reconforte! Este fuego tanto nos abraza el cerebro, que queremos Sumergirnos en el fondo del abismo, Infierno o Cielo, ¿qué importa? ¡Hasta el fondo de lo Desconocido, para encontrar lo nuevo!

Fragmento de “El viaje” - Charles Baudelaire Poema número 126 de «Las flores del mal» (Edición de 1861)

Traición

Creí que me traicionabas, como si no fuese un estado natural del hombre huir y ser inexplicable. Creí que me traicionabas y nos protegías a ambos del peso de la ley y las promesas a la vez, qué torpe fui, creí que me traicionabas cuando en realidad sólo yo creí.

18 fun frugal poverty tips if ur a vagabond in an urban area

1. if panhandling, people are more likely to give change to people who do not seem like beggars (because of classism etc). -if you have a place to store your belongings, - and access to clean clothes that can blend, dress up in business casual (if possible, but anything a wealthier person would wear to work is good) - try to make yourself look unremarkable so that if you do this again in the same place people will not recognize you. (for example, remove piercings, don’t dress too flashy or different etc.) - find a street with coin operated parking meters, preferably on a busier day with a fast turnover rate - ask people dressed similarly if they have “change for the meter” - don’t linger in the same location for long enough for people to notice.

2. if panhandling and unable to disguise yourself as someone who is not a beggar, - have a cup or hat for people to toss change into (ppl are classist and may be afraid to touch your hands) - smile and generally carry as sunny and welcoming and approachable disposition as you can - if someone asks you where you are staying, keep it vague. (like, “with friends” etc.) - make sure somebody knows you/where you will be. - the ground is disgusting so use a cardboard box or plastic bag or a folded newspaper or something to separate your ass from street urine - if no one gives you anything for about 60-90 minutes, try to relocate where you are panhandling. it’s likely the foot traffic in that area may not be the most charitable crowd. sometimes one street down makes a huge difference.

3. holidays and parades are the most profitable days for busking and begging. an average summer day might make $7/hr while under the same conditions you might make $60/hr because it’s Pride (although you’ll be most successful if your sign addresses the holiday in some way).

4. if you need things such as small amounts of soap or cosmetics, Lush loves giving free samples to folks who walk in (if it can be cut or scooped into a smaller amount than the sale amount then they can probably give samples of it). Places like Sephora, Nordstrom, etc also give samples usually. Just remember to be courteous about it and pretend to be interested in trying before buying.

5. businesses throw stuff out all the time. if you can dumpster dive (or keep watch for folks who do) it’s worth checking out. - there’s lots of tips about it online especially for different chains and how to sterilize or check whatever you haul

6. if you are couch surfing be as courteous as you can to your host and assume you are only staying there for one night unless they explicitly offer for more. the key to couchsurfing is to cycle through so as to not put too much pressure on one friend if you need time. this is obviously a lot to deal with though so

7. having a place to store your stuff (a friend’s basement, etc) and an address to list on resumes and to be mailed things to is a huge help. even if you are transient af, being able to order socks or whatever for really cheap from eBay is a lifesaver.

8. it’s ok if ur undies are from the dollar store

9. if you have a pet who is not a service animal it’s a good idea to have someone who can act as caretaker for the animal when you are not housed in a stable way.

10. give back all you can to everyone in your life who helps you. it’s very easy to give up your couch to someone for a night but the symbolism and sentiment of it is of a much greater value than that. even if your hosts weren’t that great, remember them and put kindness their way too. - if staying there for more than a night offer to chip in for any resources you use (such as toilet paper or doing dishes or something) if you possibly can - if you can’t, it’s still a good idea to communicate that you are extremely grateful and wish you could afford to chip in.

11. keep up with your own health as much as you can. getting sick when you are impoverished is terrible and the stress etc can really aggravate that.

12. go easy on yourself. extreme poverty makes surviving into a full time job that doesn’t pay. it’s okay to ask for help or to declare you need help.

13. clothing swaps are incredible and 90% of my wardrobe.

14. sometimes places like dentists and audiologists will have the opportunity for you to get your teeth (or whatever else) looked into for free. this may be worth looking into.

15. bananas are extremely cheap

16. sink showers are good

17. you can probably still access their wifi if they are closed.

18. shelters should be free but usually have very limited hours where the beds are free to claim. if they’re packed, ask when is the best time to check back in for a bed.

a lot of this is really terrible to have to do, and not accessible to everyone. if you can, make friends with other folks in a similar boat to you so that you can work together. if one person can dumpster dive and another can panhandle in business casual, that’s some ideal mutual support potential.

extreme poverty folks often work in a subculture of bartering and gift economy. gift economy requires everyone involved to be generally open and committed to generosity whenever it can be spared. this is important to be mindful of.

edit*** this is getting lots of notes and while I’m not technically homeless anymore I’m still unable to afford basically anything besides rent. my paypal is jazweeks@gmail.com and anything is always helpful

Shark Emoji Review

A big friendly shark with an adorable shine in their eye! Traditional colors, possibly a great white? Looks like they’re about to ask you how you’ve been and give you a hug. 10/10

Looks like a meany, but is a tough guy with a heart of gold. Pretty shade of blues, like a blue shark! Not as detailed as Apple, but still ready to do business. Will beat up anyone who hurts you and give you a kiss. 10/10

A bold lil fella (pun intended) who ends up getting into pretty risky situations! Cute face of shock, yet curiosity and wonder. Very simple look of a not-so-simple great white. A good baby. 10/10

Don’t confuse this one for a dolphin! This is a shark through and through! Has the curious and gentle face of a thresher, yet no long tail. That doesn’t stop them! I support them. 10/10

Apple’s smaller, and not as detailed, sibling. That isn’t anything bad! Gentle colors and a tiny face to support such a cute shark. Most likely also has a Facebook and posts how much they love their friends. 10/10

Big and shy pal. What has you so sad? Could really use a hug. But, when they hug back, it feels like hugging a teddy bear! An ambigious shark. Cute color that fits their character. 10/10 (+a hug)

Looks like they just took a picture of a random great white. What a beautiful picture though! Looking good! 10/10

Dude with an attitude. A beautiful and confident smile that could draw in anyone. Their dream is to one day have a motorcycle gang and rule the sea. No one tell them it’s hard to ride a motorcycle with fins. 10/10 (+wishes for the best)

Ahh!!! Scared you, didn’t they? Looks like they look up to Jaws! A big fella with cute lil eyes and gleaming teeth. Wants to be a big movie star someday, practicing their moves for their Jaws-not-a-ripoff movie. Bet they will do great! 10/10

Complains: Not enough sharks. That’s it. They’re all beautiful.
