but actually, WHY ARE WE NOT METRIC YET.

because metric is easier

and in america, we do not shy away from a challenge 

Because there’s no “f” in metric. And you know what has an “f”?

Freedom.

Amurrica!

wow. Am I the only one disgusted by the equation of our President’s name as ‘ghetto’? I’m assuming that was the entire point of the creator designing this thing.

The Broadway production, A Streetcar Named Desire has received mixed reviews since its revamped (multi-cultural) debut a few weeks ago. Some critics have even dismissed the effort and labor of director Emily Mann and producers, Stephen C. Byrd and Alia M. Jones as an “infernal all-black production”. The passionate leading cast members Nicole Ari Parker and Blair Underwood address the critics, directly here. 

“What you see on that stage is humanity,” said [Blair] Underwood, who plays Stanley, during an interview with MSNBC’s “The Ed Show,” when asked to respond to dismissive critical response to the production […] Underwood posted the following on his Facebook page and encouraged fans and readers to spread the word:

Once you know your history and know that there was indeed a culture of people (in the 1700s), endemic to Louisianna called the “gens de colour libre,” or “free people of color,” and that these people owned plantations & some actually owned their own slaves, there is no basis to dismiss the backstory of our Dubois sisters who hail from their family owned plantation called Belle Reeve. Or to dismiss the part of the story where Blanche Dubois pines for an oil millionaire called Shep Huntleigh. If these dismissive Nay Sayers knew their history, they would know that there were a number of black people that owned oil wells in the 30s & 40s….

As long as we stay in our place & do only the great “Black” classics, like Fences, Porgy & Bess, A Raisin In The Sun, etc. your artistry will be lauded & touted, (as it should be), but if you dare step into the deified realm of Tennessee Williams, expect profound resistance & resentment.

We are not being judged based on the work. It is the “power of the idea,” that seems to unnerve the “elite;” the idea that people of color could produce & perform Tennessee Williams and do it well. The beauty in all of this is that when an ideas time has come it cannot & will not be ignored!

"

Self-love is the foundation of our loving practice. Without it our other efforts to love fail. Giving ourselves love we provide our inner being with the opportunity to have the unconditional love we may have always longed for receive from someone else. Whenever we interact with others, the love we give and receive is always necessarily conditional. Although it is not impossible, it is very difficult and rare for us to be able to extend unconditional love to others, largely because we cannot exercise control over the behavior of someone else and we cannot predict or utterly control our responses to their actions. We can, however, exercise control over our own actions. We can give ourselves the unconditional love that is the grounding for sustained acceptance and affirmation. When we give this precious gift to ourselves, we are able to reach out to others from a place of fulfillment and not from a place of lack.

One of the best guides to how to be self-loving is to give ourselves the love we are often dreaming about receiving from others. There was a time when I felt lousy about my over-forty body, saw myself as too fat, too this, or too that. Yet I fantasized about finding a lover who would give me the gift of being loved as I am. It is silly, isn’t it, that I would dream of someone else offering to me the acceptance and affirmation I was withholding from myself. This was a moment when the maxim “You can never love anybody if you are unable to love yourself” made clear sense. And I add, “Do not expect to receive the love from someone else you do not give yourself.”

"The press still thinks [global warming] is controversial. So they find the 1% of the scientists and put them up as if they’re 50% of the research results. You in the public would have no idea that this is basically a done deal and that we’re on to other problems, because the journalists are trying to give it a 50/50 story. It’s not a 50/50 story. It’s not. Period."
