The first known poet in history, Enheduanna, was an Iraqi woman. She wrote about Inanna on tablets in the cuneiform language. The interesting thing about her is that she had a position or title. It was “The keeper of the flame.” I think that if a poet should have any role at all, it should be (wherever and whenever) the same: “keeper of the flame.”
—Dunya Mikhail, from “New Directions Interview with Dunya Mikhail,” Cantos (April , 2010)

One time I went to see Wicked with my friend and he's green/brown color blind so for the first half of the show he looked slightly uncomfortable and at intermission I asked if he was ok and he was like "they all hate her cause she's black that's not right..." And everyone stared at him for awhile and then slowly he looks down at the program and goes "wait a minute is she.... Green?" And that's the story of how my friend thought we brought him to the most racist Broadway musical ever
oh my gOD

Aquarist Confession: I don’t have a lot of coral experience, so my options aren’t as diverse as a hobbyist or coral enthusiast, but frogspawn coral has got to be one of the prettiest corals I have ever worked with.
