All-American (2016) by David Hernandez

In Episode 315, Rachel brings an all-american poem!

Rachel: David Hernandez said, “My poems are partially autobiographical. To put a percentage on it, 57.4%.”

Griffin: [laughs]

Rachel: “Honestly, it depends from poem to poem. Some are more informed by events in my life, while others are less so. Here’s the thing. When I’m writing a poem, that’s based on an experience from memory, I don’t feel beholden to the facts. That’s the job of journalists. I’m more concerned about conveying an emotional truth, with making art through language. If the poem’s telling me ‘Look, I know you had bananas this morning in your cereal, but blueberries is sonically more interesting’, I’m going with blueberries.” [giggles]

All-American XIII was a volume in Bruce Weber's annual survey of American legends. That year's theme was "speak up" and features an eclectic array of activists and actors, musicians and writers, newcomers and veterans who proudly share their unique - and out-spoken - visions. After all, free speech and diverse opinions are integral parts of the nation's heritage. This book is a tribute to all those who stand up to share their stories with the world - inspiring, entertaining - and at times challenging us. One thing is certain: when these compelling individuals speak up, you just have to listen.

i haven't watched all-american in ages but someone on that set make cody christian shave. the beard does not make him look more "coachy". he's got a nice face let him show it

[caleohateclub]

new reason to stay alive: outlive the trump presidency. In fact, outlive Trump. He isn’t immortal. We can live to see the day he's guaranteed to never be in office ever again and we can make sure he knows that he'll never have enough power to kill you

stay strong, friends, this isn't your fault

[rafeandonlyrafe]

well 🧍‍♀️ as a reminder this blog is NOT a safe space for trump supporters but it IS a safe place for women, queers, trans ppl, people of color, undocumented people, and any marginalized group.

Honestly pokemon is the ideal universe not just because there’s cute animals that are your life companions, but because they have walkable cities and adequate biking infrastructure

i don't think people really understand what's happening in gaza. with each passing day that sees more and more palestinians dead, it's becoming easier and easier for those in the west to perceive them as nothing more than a statistic. they might engage w the occasional palestine post, sure, but it's just as easy to scroll right past that moments later w no real outrage for the genocide retained.

it's vital to stay reminded that palestinians who are with us today won't be with us tomorrow. it's happening every second of every minute of every hour, and it's relentless. somewhere in gaza a little girl is losing her mother, a little boy is watching his siblings bleed to death, elderly people are infirm with starvation and illness, palestinian women and girls are being sexually assaulted and kept in cages, fathers are leaving tents to find food for their families and not coming back. this is all happening right now, and it's a direct result of the west's complacency. it's a direct result of their not seeing arabs as people worth saving.

it might be hard to compute as a westerner, but this is real. don't let your privilege blind you to your humanity.

[embraceyourdestiny]

to any americans who feel "paralyzed" and "dont know what to do" to help with gaza:

reading a fucking book. i beg of you.

in a time of knowledge suppression is it your duty to arm yourself with knowledge.

read about americas occupations in the middle east.

read about 9/11 from outside of america and see how they inflicted senseless harm and violence to countless amounts of people and have been suppressing your rights for the past 2 fucking decades.

read about any of the countless wars from the past 30 years. especially from a civilian's. and the victims and survivors' perspective. listen to the horror stories and do not plug your fucking ears as to what your country is doing.

and read about fucking gaza and palestine and keep up with what is happening no matter how "sad" or "uncountable" you might get.

dont look away from this.

you dont have the right to be comfortable during countless active genocides.

if you're knowledgeable, you're powerful, and our current state doesnt fucking want that.

you have the power to change things if you open your eyes and scream to the world.

wake the fuck up.

Edit: please check the reblogs there are readings and ways to help
