After a year of not self harming after five years of continuous grief, I treated myself to this tattoo set. I used to be the bird on the left, stuck wondering what to do and where to go but doing nothing about it. I am now free and very much so the bird on the right. Also inspired by Regina Spektor’s “Two Birds”.
Done by Nick Poli, Philly, PA.
Months after the first protesters arrived in Zuccotti Park, Occupy Wall Street continues to fuel tech innovation. Several weeks ago, #OWS sympathizers created a “People’s Skype”; meanwhile, a hackathon held this weekend uncovered previously unknown parallels with the Arab Spring. These developments are just the latest in a string of new products and tools that have come out of the movement.
Show them THAT when people say this is all “unemployed dirty hippies”. Awesome.
Well, yes, ma’am, I do… I mean, I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what’s gonna happen or, who I’m gonna meet, where I’m gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life’s a gift and I don’t intend on wasting it. You don’t know what hand you’re gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you… to make each day count.
