The Last Poem of 2011 is Love
I’ll hold your words
with a light hand,
weigh them against your actions
and the particular blue
of your sleepy eyes.
I’ll collect your caresses
and wear them as a coat
over my naked skin.
Your shining kisses I have
weaved into my hair
to catch the sunlight
so that I may be beautiful,
so even when you are gone
I may be beautiful.
It is the last day of 2011,
and my...

Dear atheists,
While you are accepting gifts and eating your blessed ham on Christmas day, just remember why you are able to do that. It is a disgrace that one would participate in a sacred day when they are against it’s origin.
Dear World,
As you enjoy the festivities today, don’t forget to bring in some pine branches for the...

Until I can tell him that women don’t lose value when they “lose their virginity.”
Until I can tell him that the concept of “slut” is a societal construct meant to keep women in place.
Until I can tell him that a woman’s body is her own, and no one else has a say in what she does with it.
Until I can tell him that it is not wrong for a woman to sleep with...

When I’m sitting right there saying, “Hey. Hey, guys. I’m right here. I’m not extreme. You’re going off of the media portrayal of feminists instead of what an actual feminist is telling you.”

journalismstudentproblems:
And during family dinner arguments, all accusatory statements against the media get directed at you. It will be like this for the rest of your career.
And my news junkie father and political science major brother keep fighting over whether Fox News or CNN are better.
Clearly the correct answer is neither. The best news outlet is the college paper I work for.

People on Twitter are lashing out at Lego for creating a line that looks so stereotypically feminine — especially the mostly pink color of the toys. One person tweeted, “Girls can like a toy...
