You Wont Allow Me To Go To School. I Wont Become A Doctor. Remember This:One Day You Will Be Sick.

You won’t allow me to go to school. I won’t become a doctor. Remember this: One day you will be sick.

Poem written by an 11 year old Afghan girl 

This poem was recorded in a NYT magazine article about female underground poetry groups in Afghanistan. An amazing article about the ways in which women are using a traditional two line poetry form to express their resistance to male oppression, their feelings about love (considered blasphemous).

אני קצת מבולבלת. התרגום מגוגל היה… מוזר. אולי את מתכוונת לתעתק את המילה ״עברית״ (כי ״כחול״ זה לא שפה)? אם כן, אני מסכימה; היא שפה ממש יפה. יפנית גם שפה מעניינת מאוד. האם יפנית שפת האם שלך? 

Good lord, I love this series so much I can't even handle it.

Hard core scientific education at its best here. 

Maybe it's just me, but there seem to have been an unusually high number of dead animals on my campus this season.

I pretended to cry and laugh in front of dogs to see what they would do. Such behavior. Much react. Wow!
