“Quote”

“It is about the discovery of self in and through another. It implies that even the dark and terrible banality of racism can recede to a vanishing point when you understand, and are understood by, another human being. Goddammit if it doesn’t claim that love sets you free. These days “self-actualization” is the aim, and if you can’t do it alone you are admitting a weakness. The potential rapture of human relationships to which Hurston gives unabashed expression, the profound “self-crushing love” that Janie feels for Tea Cake, may, I suppose, look like the dull finale of a “long, whiny, trawling search for a man.” For Tea Cake and Janie, though, the choice of each other is not experienced as desperation, but as discovery, and the need felt on both sides causes them joy, not shame…. It is odd to diagnose weakness where lovers themselves do not feel it.”

kevinnuut asked: I thought the K in CMYK stood for key plate. It's just coincidental that printers use a fourth black color, because the black resulting from a CMY subtractive overlay isn't as rich. That was my understanding of it?

You might be right… I’m not formally trained in print design (working on that this spring), but now I’m curious and I’m about to google the heck out of this acronym.

“Sorry.. A little off topic, but this reminded me of the time I used Nair on my upper lip. I must’ve left it on a little too long b/c when I wiped it off, it took some of the skin off with it. I had a red mustache and a chemical burn for about a week. But I realized that if I smiled real big you couldn’t tell. Ummm, just thought I’d share”
