Lines written at the dragonfly emergence, Johnson, Vermont - K. A. Hays in Anthropocene Lullaby.

For seven hundred thirty nights, she scooted

and gamboled in the water's underdark.

For twenty-four full moons she burst out

to barb flesh in the water's underdark.

Then the nymph felt a largeness in her, a discomfort,

and crawled from the water onto rocks, feeling air on the skin,

and her thorax pushed her new head through,

breaking above her tubal heart a square hole,

new eyes protruding. Her legs bent, she climbed out

of herself and found footing on her cracked back,

then crouched, the abdomen dripping,

a wet expulsion, the dragonfly twice as long

as the nymph where it grew,

neither self nor superior, only different,

the former fine for the former world,

the present fine for the present world,

and when she spreads her new wings to dry,

the floods and heat waves she's hunkered through

show up in her wings' size, their shape,

the dragonfly body a warning of warming seas,

showing the emergency with her body in emergence,

showing need for change by her change, migrating north

beyond the range of her ancestors, to spin and gobble

and clutch in an ever-warmer earth.

Unlike the birds, who, as small reptiles

hundreds of millions of years ago,

bartered pairs of legs for wings, she insisted

on her six legs, and took wings as well,

and so became more terrifying and agile

than the angels, and more present

in the crisis, prophesying:

the only way is to transform.

toh aaj mandir mein pandit ji ko ek bachche ne sawal kiya tha ki ye maala mein bhi pehenlu? (Unhone tulsi mala pehni huii thi)

Toh bhai unhone kaha ki haa beta jarur pehn le , or phir uss bachche ke sirr par hath ferne lage

Bachha bola ki ye pehnne par mujhe 13 ka table yaad ho jaega?

Pandit ji ne kaha nahi ! Agar karm kroge yaniki achhe se 13 ka pahada yad kroge toh jarur yaad hoga! Agar mala pehn lene se matr sab kuch theek ho jaye toh phir aaj sab iss mala mein lipte hote!

Bachha - toh aapne kyu pehni hai

Pandit ji - ye maala mujhe meri maa se battmizzi krne se rokti hai, ye mala meri lakshman rekha hai, jab bhi koi galat kaam krne ki Or bdhta hu toh yye mala se yaad aata hai ki mere prabhu dekh rahe hai mujhe

#bhai ye iss najariye se to meine kabhi socha hi nahi #Ye sara dukh mere karmo ka phal hai jo mene bewakoofi mein kiye the #i deserve to be in pain #desi tumblr #Bdi saralta se bilkul shant mann se uss bachche k Sare sawalo ka javab diya or anjane mein mere sare sawalo k javab bhi mil gye

RE: cultural appropriation primarily being about an economic state of affairs where white people make money off of other people, a related idea I've been contemplating but haven't been able to like. Finish writing about is the idea of cultural decontextualization, which is when a cultural majority (often but not always white people) engage with another culture in a manner that erases- and may simultaneously replicate- racist histories, and is more about creating false narratives than economics.

A personal example would be white people making clothes based off of Coptic Egyptian artifacts, especially while generically referring to them as "Roman" or arguing Coptic art does not exist, which denies Copts part of Coptic history while resurrecting the French Coptomania of the 1920s, and specifically Albert Gayet's actions of taking items from Coptic graves to the point where a model was dressed in a tunic and shown off (which is also terrible from an artifact preservation perspective- this tunic would've been at minimum, 1300 years old at the time).

#cipher talk #Other examples are a lot of shit historical customers do #Like the Cathy Hay peacock dress debacle. Given that an Indian embroiderer faced heavy harassment it counts on both fronts #A lot of what Fr*da K*hlo did to my understanding also counts- both for CA and CD #Just going off what I've read from LatAm (for lack of a better word) Indigenous people have to say about her #There is also sometimes an economic element here #Like plenty of these replicas are sold #Plus it results in bad history #The Persian riding coats found in late Antiquity Egypt cannot be taken as 'typical Roman soldiers kit' #They're representative of a specific relationship Coptic Egypt had to Persia in late Antiquity #But I see drawings featured in academic sources misrepresenting this but shoeing a white Roman soldier in one at least a century before the #Evidence we have for them existing in Egypt #And plenty of white re-enactors claiming these are examples of fibulatron #They are not!!!

So..I was thinking about drawing kind of a Hindu alphabetical series,

Janta kya sochti hain?

Also, whom should I draw for the first letter?

#Basically agar abhi bhi nahi samajh aaya toh #I will draw beings jinke name start hote hai in alphabetical order #So I will draw Krishna ji jab “K” letter ki baari hogi toh #Bhaisahab mujhe logo ko samajhana nahi aata #But I hope it's simple enough #I have no idea if it's an original idea lol but I thought that would make me draw atleast once a week.

some bonds get formed when you least expect it and it's scary because they're so good, so beautiful.

its like; for quite a while now, i was almost stagnant, barely sailing, just coasting. then a gentle, unforeseen breeze came and pushed me through.

that breeze being you.

#yeah #it be like that sometimes #and it feels good #and terrifying bhi utna hi #but theek hai na #at least i have u filhaal #baad k wjo cares #:)) #on love #friendship #relationships #beautiful words #writeblr #writings #words #prose #writers and poets #metaphor #prompt #breeze #fav
