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.”<br/><br/> - <em><p><b>Zadie Smith </b><br/><i>Changing My Mind: Occasional Essays<br/><span>(via <a href="http://ronmarks.tumblr.com/">ronmarks</a>)</span></i> (via <a href="http://tobia.tumblr.com/">tobia</a>)</p> <p>I’ve read this essay nearly a dozen times.

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.

For almost its entire existence, Haiti has been shouldered with a load of immense international debt. The Haitian people had the audacity to break their chains and declare independence in 1804, but were later forced by France to repurchase their freedom for 150 million francs, a burden that the country has had to carry throughout the 20th century.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.truthout.org/an-open-letter-david-brooks-haiti56199">t r u t h o u t | An Open Letter to David Brooks on Haiti</a></em>http://iam.simplyann.net/post/347080197http://iam.simplyann.net/post/347080197Thu, 21 Jan 2010 22:55:05 -0800<p>how do I use this thing again?</p>http://iam.simplyann.net/post/346635364http://iam.simplyann.net/post/346635364Thu, 21 Jan 2010 16:13:31 -0800<p><i>Dusts this thing off.  Waits.  Checks the time.  Smiles.  Scopes out recent posts.
