Tried my hand at song writing on guitar for the first time in years. Still only know one finger picking pattern.

I…
I love this.
you left hungry
I had questions I still think of them, an old silver platter You can’t use it, it’s too valuable You can’t throw it out, it’s too valuable To soil, to salvage, to sell I said everything I could It was nothing You said everything you could You said everything You left hungry Am I clean enough? Will you keep me? Now I have questions I can’t use them, they’re too valuable They’re too vacant now. Why’d you have to say it? Don’t answer that Don’t you have somewhere to be? Don’t answer that So you fell down and scraped the callouses from your skin and you looked up at me And you asked “did it hurt?” I couldn’t answer that. You fell and all the stars clattered out of your hair and scorched through the floorboards and you looked up at me and asked “did it burn?” I couldn’t have said a word. I didn’t even ask I wondered I rolled it around on my tongue, an ice cube that wouldn’t melt I wanted to ask But my tongue was a silver platter I couldn’t use it I couldn’t throw it out Am I clean enough? Can you see yourself in me? And before you say yes, think: For the nook above your sink? For a box in the garage where you keep useless things? There’s a silver platter under your tree on Christmas day. So imagine I said it then There’s a silver platter, tarnished, in a drawer Imagine I say it now There’s a silver platter at the bottom of a box And you leave hungry I say everything I can And it’s nothing And there’s ice on my tongue, I would have said it burned. You say everything you can And leave hungry and there’s a silver platter covered in stars and scorch marks and mottled skin is it clean enough? Will it ever be? Can you see your face in it now? Could you see it then?

"He had a sandwich in his hand, and they thought it was a gun. It’s like Michael Brown all over again," she told the paper.
On the morning of George Zimmerman’s acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murder earlier this year, with the mainstream media raising the specter of riots, blogger Jay Smooth made a prediction: ‘The fundamental danger of an acquittal is not more riots, it is more George Zimmermans.’
There were no riots. There have been more George Zimmermans.

I don’t understand why we never use a woman’s arousal to communicate love for something. People say they have a ‘lady boner’ or just a ‘boner’ for this or for that, but we never use the female equivalent. Women never use the female equivalent. Why not? Is there something so uncomfortable and unclean about a woman’s arousal—about being wet—that makes the word so terrible?

Just so we are clear I’m 100% behind the flag burning taking place in Ferguson. After everything they’ve been through I’d be upset if they weren’t completely done with the American system that has repeatedly failed them. You should care a lot more for human lives than a piece of cloth.

It is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard.

Just in case anyone tries to deploy his words to condemn Ferguson.

One would assume that scientists, who are trained to think objectively, are completely immune to gender discrimination. However, a recent Yale study by Corinne Moss-Racusin and colleagues suggests otherwise.
The researchers created a fictional student and sent out the student’s application to science professors at top, research-intensive universities in the United States. The professors were asked to evaluate how competent this student was, how likely they would be to hire the student, how much they would pay this student, and how willing they would be to mentor the student. All of the applications sent out were identical, except for the fact that half were for a male applicant, John, and half were for a female applicant, Jennifer. Results showed that, with statistical significance, both male and female faculty at these institutions were biased towards male students over female students.
Data from the study shows that on average, science faculty was willing to pay the male applicant about $4,000 more per year. source
