De/vend

õde/vend

Saad aru, ma nii tahaks! Nii tahaks temaga lähemalt suhelda. Nii tahaks päriselt tunda ja teada, kes ta on. Mismoodi tunnetab.  Kas ja kuidas. Ma oli tema vastu nii kuri lapsena. Ja nii külm päris noorena.  Alles hiljem nooruses, nii 20+ midagi taipasin, et üle mõistuse kallis.

Aga ei julge. Suhelda, noh. Sest mis siis, kui tema on veel üks inimene, kes on tegelt mittearusaaja tüütute peavooluajakirjanduse-mõtetega elu ja inimeste osas? Olgu, mitte peavoolu,  nii nõme ei ole mu vend mitte. Aga no ... kasti pandavate  “punk on mõelda sedasi”-mõtetega. Mõtle, kui ta ei olegi mu salajane hingesõber kaugel eemal!

Ja siis ma parem ei. 

Tähtede all

Tähtede all on sõnad ja sõnade all on mõtted ja mõtete all laiad ideed ja nende all eluteed.

my friend was testing perfumes out at the store and she sniffed a bottle and anounced "ngl this bitch kind of sucks" The girl at the counter suddenly looked really sad, and my friend was like "I'm sorry, I wasn't talking about you." And the girl looked up and said "No don't worry, I didn't think that, but I just crushed a ladybug with my shoe" We both took a peak over the counter. she'd stepped on a red m&m

Üllatav lahkus

“Ma armastan sind nii väga!” Ta ütles mulle nii. Oh, mu kallis, mu lemmik, mu suhkrusai, sina mulle ka ja teele sada paid! Nii kuuluvad ühte käbi ja känd nagu sina ja mina, mu armas vend!

Lakota elders helped a white man preserve their language. Then he tried to sell it back to them.

“No matter how it was collected, where it was collected, when it was collected, our language belongs to us," said Ray Taken Alive, a Lakota teacher.

this is vile

STANDING ROCK INDIAN RESERVATION, S.D. — Ray Taken Alive had been fighting for this moment for two years: At his urging, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Council was about to take the rare and severe step of banishing a nonprofit organization from the tribe’s land.

The Lakota Language Consortium had promised to preserve the tribe’s native language and had spent years gathering recordings of elders, including Taken Alive’s grandmother, to create a new, standardized Lakota dictionary and textbooks.

But when Taken Alive, 35, asked for copies, he was shocked to learn that the consortium, run by a white man, had copyrighted the language materials, which were based on generations of Lakota tradition. The traditional knowledge gathered from the tribe was now being sold back to it in the form of textbooks.
