just to say i love

to put it another way/i would give all metaphors
in return for one word/ drawn out of my breast like a rib
for one word/ contained within the boundaries/ of my skin
but apparently this is not possible
and just to say - i love
i run around like mad/ picking up handfuls of birds
and my tenderness/ which after all is not made of water
asks the water for a face/ and anger/ different from fire
borrows from it/ a loquacious tongue

Maybe no one ever told you,
But the heart IS a metaphor.
Yours is growing so strong
You’ll have your rhythm back any day now—

Loving like rumours spread.
Dreaming like lunatic spacemen jump from their suits.
Living like you never forgot how.

hey body,

i know i’m stressed.

i don’t need the eczema outbreak to tell me.

but thanks for making me feel like i’m seven again.

:open letters: :in case i didn't already feel seven for being so stressed about things that shouldn't be this stressful: :wanderlust: :estonia: :colourful objects saved:

Reason #1,324,789 of why I love this show.

This was a casual side conversation between Bashir and Sisko about a fellow crew member, completely unrelated to the episode’s plot, and its just so sweet.

It’s nice to know that if you’re a pregnant father-to-be on DS9, your buddies Julian and Miles will build you a hatchling pond, buy you baby clothes, and throw you a shower eagerly attended by the station’s commanding officer (who was practically beaming with joy when he found out that you were expecting).

How wonderful.

“If you say time of the month, I’m sending you to a women’s health workshop.”

fucking bless this show.

:the fosters: :THIS: :i meant to look for a post like this last week because it was maybe my favourite line: :i mean i just love so many things about this show but this line. SO GREAT:

For I conclude that the enemy is not lipstick, but guilt itself; that we deserve lipstick, if we want it, AND free speech; we deserve to be sexual AND serious—or whatever we please; we are entitled to wear cowboy boots to our own revolution.

— Naomi Wolf (via beelockwood)

:this has been on my mind a lot lately: :for a lot of different reasons - some fandom related; some personal; some both i guess: :and it just all comes back to 'we deserve to be sexual AND serious': :being sexy is not inherently anti-feminist: :being traditionally feminine is not inherently anti-feminist: :it's not anything new but it's worth remembering: :for my part someone else can have the cowboy boots: :but i am entitled to wear a dress to my own damn revolution: :about me: :naomi wolf: :words: :a l w a y s: :star trek: :ds9: :things that are perfect: :about me: :literally like someone crawled into my brain and wrote out thoughts toward two particular people:
  • John Lloyd: Lastly, here's a Freudian question for you. Freud once said, "The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul is: what does a woman want?" What do you feel about that?
  • Natalie Haynes: I think... a woman wants not to be treated as some sort of exotic sub-species by a coke-addled creep like Freud.

don’t want to know who’s to blame
it won’t help knowing
don’t want to fight day and night
bad enough you’re going

don’t leave in silence
with no words at all
don’t get drunk and slam the door
that’s no way to end this

Regine Ramseier, a German artist, had the great idea to created a ‘Dandelion Ceiling.’ 2000 dandelion flowers were treated and sprayed with a gentle adhesive to fix them. The dandelions were then transported by car to a little white room where they were hung.
