Buddhists liberate lobsters
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good news, quester!
Hey ita, I was just listening to Skip Gates on Fresh Air from last week (?), and he's talking about race in latin america, and said he went around the Dominican Republic asking people if they were black, and they all said no, and when he asked where the black people were, they all said Haiti. Heh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
ION, my hair is kinda purple. It's kinda dark brown, but when the light shines through it, I can see the purple. And since I dyed it burgundy-brown over cinnamon-red, you can also see red threads showing through it. I like it.
I can't get a photo of it, though. It just looks brown. Sorry.

Oh, my god, so tired. I am so busy right now that getting anything done is needlessly complicated.

Apparently everyone in the DR, regardless of what they looked like, described themselves as Indio.
Anyway, Africans in Latin America is his big new project, so look out for it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Interesting. Reminds me of how Moldovans refer to Roma (Tsigani) as black, even though Moldovans can tend to the swarthy themselves. Oh, the persistantness of "other" and the fascinating dynamics of self-definition.

Gimmeh.
