i almost made a post called "my mom is such a prude", but nah, maybe a more considerate way to put that is my mom grew up in such a way that she still actively separates the self from the body and fears any possibility of the two meeting, whether by accident or by choice. and it bothers me.
you do not know true frustration until you have a sister who won’t fucking let go of a dead end relationship with a dead end piece of shit BOY.

There were many nights when I would worry myself out of a dead sleep and think Christ, I’m not doing it yet, and I’d think, doing what, and I’d think back, the thing I’m supposed to be doing, the special thing, I’m not special yet, and I’m going to die if I don’t do it, and I’d think well what is it but I refused to elaborate.

Akosua Adoma Owusu, Ghanaian director and writer of the acclaimed short film Kwaku Ananse (which Ciné Kenya featured here), is thrilled to have her first narrative short nominated by the Africa Movie Academy Awards. The short film is a re-telling of the classic West African fable with a semi-autobiographical twist, featuring her uncle, Ghana’s legendary palm wine musician, Koo Nimo as Kwaku Ananse.
Owusu received this award after gaining international attention with her short films, Drexciya and Me Broni Ba, as well as from her work within the art world at the famed Studio Museum in Harlem. Read more.
THIS IS SO EXCITING!

I'm not a very small person, relatively speaking...definitely not by ideal girl standards. but sometimes i feel very like, emotionally tiny and possibly cute. though, that only happens when I'm alone. but it's nice when people treat you that way outside of a passing, private feeling. and i don't know, I'm just thinking of how hard it is for me to let people help or take care of or teach me but I'm also thinking about the times i feel comfortable enough for that and how deeply satisfying that is on a lot of levels i keep forgetting i need to be satisfied... anyway, a co-worker asked why i was so chipper and i think I'm just not somewhat able to articulate the answer.
Comedian Hasan Minhaj is Dave's guest this week! They talk about growing up with immigrant parents, and as a first-generation American, what it takes to get your parents to open up, and what happe...
Listened to this yesterday and really wanted to share it with somebody. I've always loved Hasan since I saw the video of him talking about how fucked up that Ashton Kutcher in brown face commercial was...and it's lovely to hear him touch on some of those some issues but on a much, much, much more personal level.

can we just take a moment to appreciate my outfits as seen in Selects With Sika?
listen, just feeling very emotional about me recording myself in different mediums through the years and why and when and how I went about doing that and who I did it with and where I publicized it. for a person who doesn't really like being in front of the camera I sure allowed myself to be a lot and I'm thankful for that and interested in why.

That kind of LOVE.
That “even though I’m mad at you I know you’ll still make an effort love”. That Love. Real Love.
