this is so multilayered
not well or anything, but passably so
It’s been two years since you died, Grandma, and both of us (the girls in that frame, standing in your house in those pictures) still miss you all the time. All the time.

Major League Baseball, which saw Jackie Robinson break the color barrier in 1947, Tuesday will announce incremental progress in another civil rights issue. The new collective bargaining agreement adds “sexual orientation” to its section on discrimination, a person with direct knowledge of the agreement told the Daily News.
Article XV, Section A of the MLB’s expiring Basic Agreement, in effect from 2006-2011, states: “The provisions of this Agreement shall be applied to all Players covered by this Agreement without regard to race, color, religion or national origin.”
In the new agreement, which will be made public Tuesday afternoon, the words “sexual orientation” will be added to the equivalent section.
This decision follows that National Football League, which did the same in their CBA this year. Baseball officials familiar with the process describe the mention of “sexual orientation” as not necessarily related to the NFL, and as a provision readily agreed upon by both union and league negotiators.
The change in wording comes at the end of a significant year for gay rights issues. The military abolished its “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, and same-sex marriage became legal in New York state. In baseball, several teams filmed an “It Gets Better Video,” an anti-bullying effort aimed at lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth.

these are great.
i have such a fucking problem with the fact that people who essentially ARE ME demographically (white, early 20s, privileged indeed) are suddenly noticing the existence of police brutality due to the occupy protests. nonwhite people have been experiencing horrifying violence at the hands of law enforcement since forever. this did not just start happening NOW.
Natasha: ALTHOUGH those bruises that Edward freaks out about giving Bella were pretty junior varsity! That’s like any Wednesday, not a HONEYMOON.
Mary: HA! Remember when we just learned SO MUCH about you?
Natasha: It ain’t love unless there’s traction.

this is exactly like me because i live underground and draw things and have feelings sometimes.
