Month: May 2013

thepeoplesrecord:

Today (May 9, 2013) is the 66th anniversary of the start of the first Freedom Ride.

It was called the Journey of Reconciliation, and white & black activists rode (otherwise) segregated buses through four southern states.

The interstate bus ride, lasted from April 9-23, and was designed to test the June 3, 1946 Supreme Court ruling that said Black passengers could not be forced to sit at the back of the bus. Bayard Rustin, a 101 Changemaker, participated in and helped to organize the ride. The riders were arrested several times.

Later rides and riders would be violently attacked by racist mobs.

A ROMAN MARBLE HEKATEION
Circa 1st Century CE
With three Maidens- the triple Hekate- each with Her back to a central column, each depicted identically, with a modius atop Her head, Her hair pulled up, with tendrils falling along each shoulder, wearing a high-belted peplos, with Her right arm raised, holding an attribute, the left hand lowered holding a torch, a small dog seated to Her left looking up…
(For a similar example see no. 92, pl. 31 in Budde and Nicholls, A Catalogue of the Greek and Roman Sculpture in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.)

Is it bad that I’m posting this hoping it will piss people off? Have I mentioned my third patron god is Loki?

Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt—marvelous error!—
that I had a beehive
here inside my heart.
And the golden bees
were making white combs
and sweet honey
from my old failures.

My Babylon Sneak Preview – Book Four

Here’s another erotic scene from My Babylon.

SPOILER WARNING 

It has a minor spoiler. Don’t read if you don’t want to know.

Chapter 5

I walked right in, and mentally noted this may be the new protocol, no knocks needed.

She spun her chair to me, her face alight. “Hey.”

My voice involuntarily dropped an octave. “Hey,” I said through my own silly grin.

I walked over to her, bent down, planted a soft kiss on her lips. She responded, arms up around my neck, pulling me in, her tongue probing, finding mine. It lasted until we needed air, and I pulled back, her arms still around me. Looking into her eyes I saw—excitement, compassion, lust, joy, questioning, fear—a perfect reflection. We dove back in, going at it with wild abandon. It switched in an instant from a simple greeting to desire unleashed.

Ego still pumped from my exploits. Libido still on full throttle from Aiden’s teasing. All rational thought evaporated. The past few days I had thought of little but how much I wanted this. The pressure was too great, the flood waters too strong. The barriers put in place to protect myself and others burst.
