Read Something No.13

A Memorandum of Ghosts by Sondra Morin for The Rumpus

"I plan to build an army of ghosts from the hearts of those I love. Their conduits will come with an industrial sewing machine and the most shimmering spools of thread, a wood stove, a tool shed, and a chopping block."

The Violence in Our Heads by T.M. Luhrmann for NY Times

About violence and mental health. I like what one commenter added: "It's not surprising that this cultural obsession with violence affects our entire population, whether easily classified as mentally ill or not."

How To Help The Crazy People In Your Life by S.E. Smith for xoJane

"Be aware that the things inside our heads are very, very real to us. They might seem utterly irrational and ridiculous to you and sometimes they might frustrate you, but saying that doesn’t help us; taking what we’re saying seriously and finding a way to help us work through it helps us."

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do by Pixie Casey for Rookie Magazine

About friendship break-ups.

Can the White Girl Twerk? by Ayesha Siddiqi for The New Inquiry

I know we're tired of the Miley Cyrus conversation but this essay is fucking right on the mark. Also, it doesn't matter how sick we get of rehashing subjects like this, as long as its relevant, and I think we can all agree the subject of appropriating culture is always relevant, then we need to talk about it.
