Childish Gambino ft. Beck > “Silk Pillow” (Right-click to download)
This collab is baffling, but I kinda like it (at least the first half). Beck is kicking it like it’s ‘92.
I’m so obsessed with this collaboration. Beck and Childish Gambino! Gah! So excite!

but I miss your face like hell.

Mother Jones: The Way It Was →

“A society that does not accept the facts is a childish society, and a society that makes abortion illegal—and I believe that the PBAB is a calculated step in exactly that direction—is a cruel and backward society that makes being female a crime. It works in partnership with the illegal abortionist. It puts him in business, sends him his customers, and employs him to dispense crude, dirty, barbaric, savage punishment to those who break the law. And the ones who are punished by the illegal abortionist are always women: mothers, sisters, daughters, wives.
It’s no way to treat a lady.”
This is such an important article. Eleanor Cooney for Mother Jones on the “Partial-Birth” Abortion Ban and the necessity of having access to legal, safe abortions for all women regardless of circumstance, age, race, class, religion, number of months pregnant, reason for being pregnant, etc.
You must read this.
Yup yup yup.
Shit, dude. I read this back during my junior year in one of my women and gender classes.
It really should be mandatory reading.

“The obvious explanation is that every time a woman tries to tell a joke, an invisible dream-catcher telescopes out of her vagina and snatches it from the air. Science.”

“Gatsby is a book that has come to mean something to people that sometimes feels disconnected from the book itself. Fitzgerald great trick was to write about two people who wanted each other, but not write a love story. Of course I root for Daisy to leave Tom every time. But my rooting is wrong, and by the end of the book, Fitzgerald has really shown you why. Daisy is the one that got away—except you have no idea what that means. That “one” isn’t some better future. She is a person—a indelibly flawed American. Like you.”

Stand beside it, we can’t hide the way it makes us glow,
it’s no good unless it grows, feel this burning, love of mine.
Deep inside the ever-spinning, tell me does it feel?
It’s no good unless it’s real, hill sides burning,
wild-eyed turning, til we’re running from it.
“I’d work in a flower shop and be insecure. And he’d work in real estate…and there’s always cupcake batter on my face, and I’m like, ‘I just made these cupcakes, but I don’t know how I feel!’ And he’s like, ‘Let me get that cupcake batter off your face… with my dick. Cut to me giving him a hand job. Sorry, I’ve had too much caffeine.”
