Everyday superheroes
BERNABE MENDEZ from the State of Guerrero works as a professional window cleaner in New York. He sends 500 dollars a month.
After September 11, the notion of the “hero” began to rear its head in the public consciousness more and more frequently. The notion served a necessity in a time of national and global crisis to acknowledge those who showed extraordinary courage or determination in the...

I Knew A Woman
I knew a woman, lovely in her bones, When small birds sighed, she would sigh back at them; Ah, when she moved, she moved more ways than one: The shapes a bright container can contain! Of her choice virtues only gods should speak, Or English poets who grew up on Greek (I’d have them sing in chorus, cheek to cheek.)
How well her wishes went! She stroked my chin, She taught me Turn, and...

Being an atheist does not erase privilege. This includes white privilege.
This also includes cis privilege, CNDP privilege, and het privilege.

Simply Delicious: LES MERVEILLEUSES DE LADURÉE
In my year in Paris, I soon learned the familiar pale green of the Laduree shops’ exteriors, admired the beautiful pastel-shaded gateaux in the window displays, and once or twice even enjoyed consuming said delicacies from the comfort of a gilt chair.
And now the brand turns its attention to making sweet, mouthwateringly pretty make up… There aren’t many previews yet, but...

(sherlock spoilers)
justateensyglimpse:
Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts. The first part is called “The Pledge.” The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object.

So said Matthew Arnold about Oxford. Here are a few images from the city I have called my own since the autumn - which started with unseasonably glorious sunshine.
