"New York and New Jersey residents who are new to storm relief are incensed that their cities are..."

“New York and New Jersey residents who are new to storm relief are incensed that their cities are still rebuilding. Well, so the fuck is New Orleans. And Princeville, North Carolina – the first town in the United States incorporated by African-Americans – was flattened by Hurricane Floyd in 1999, and it will never be rebuilt at all. Of course New York will be rebuilt. It will not happen equitably – and undoubtedly poor people and people of color will make the most sacrifices. But forgive us for noticing that the magnanimous white liberals of the Northeast didn’t give a shit when our towns were destroyed – and have probably never, let’s face it, even heard of Princeville… Even though our states are disproportionately poor, it doesn’t seem to occur to anyone that it might be easier – and cheaper! – to buy an election in a poor state than a rich one. What it costs for Art Pope to influence an election in North Carolina is far lower than what it might cost in New York. We are easy prey, and our people are the ones who suffer most because of it.”

Sometimes when I’m feeling completely out of it and conflicted, I like to look at different things to get more of a grasp of who I am etc. blah blah blah. I’ve never been one for traditional horoscopes, but I find ones that use your natal chart (sun, moon, and ascendant) are freakily accurate. Someone on ONTD graciously did mine for me and I’d say about 95% of it describes me and all my neuroticism:

Yours is interesting to me, because I know a couple other people with the Cap/Aquarius Sun/moon combo and I feel like they’re both the most conflicted individual’s ever. Lunar Aquarians take their impressions from the outside world, and deal with them scientifically, open-mindedly and from a human point of view- after all, Aquarius is the most visionary, progressive sign and is also the sign of humanitarianism. Gemini is also an air sign, and will approach thing from an intellectual point of view, and blends with Capricorns logic and gives Capricorn’s sometimes cold exterior a nice warming up. However, Lunar Aquarians are hopeless free spirits, emotionally unavailable, and always wanting to move on to the next thing, the next experience, the next group- And Capricorn lives and breathes for security, for roots, and for a relationship, as long as they can find someone who won’t mind a few rules. Gemini blends in and does give you more social aptness, makes you more communicative, and keeps you busy- it blends with Capricorn to make for someone with an analytical intelligence and big ideas. The more I type this, the more I try to envision you as a whole person, like the total blend… and I just see a friendly, sorta goofy, but deeply grounded person. Someone who is always trying to help, always there for a friend, but also gets disappointed by people a lot. You probably feel like you get less from other people than your willing to give, but you also have some very fixed ideas and opinions, and while your versatile and able to keep the more judgemental parts of your personality out of it, you can never really find people who are on your level.

“One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it’s your home, and you must decorate it.”
