“We need enormous pockets, pockets big enough for our families and our friends, and even the people who aren’t on our lists, people we’ve never met but still want to protect. We need pockets for boroughs and for cities, a pocket that could hold the universe.” ― Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
“… my tattoos are my story.” I find my self constantly and pleasantly surprised by my students on a daily basis. This activity was based on the poetry of Esther Kamkar. (at Upper Darby High School)
Be of service. You are taking your degree into a society dominated by concentrated poverty and a vulnerable middle class, a society where it is harder to pay for education, harder to find a job, harder to buy a house and harder to hold onto those things even if you manage to get them. You are entering adulthood during a period of mass incarceration and near constant war. There is a lot for you to do. Service is the rent you pay for the space you take up on the earth, and as a relatively privileged American you take up a lot of space. We are the most consuming, polluting, wasteful nation on earth. So your rent is steep. Pay it with service.
- Dr. Melissa Harris-Perry’s advice to Class of 2013 (via bitchwhoisyou)
