white girls who want my culture’s bindis and saris and henna
take my skin colour too
and my dark brown lips
take my self-hatred because i don’t fit into the euro-centric ideals of beauty
take the oppression too
take the history of colonization that has devastated my country
and the drones that currently devastate my country
take all the bad stuff too
not just the pretty, shiny, sparky bits
take the ugly, dehumanizing and shitty parts too

disco naïveté: video premiere: The Weeknd - Montreal
High5Collective’s first video ever was that one for The Weeknd’s The Morning with those four babes running around in the desert - remember it? Today, eight months later, they bring us another video for one of The Weeknd’s tunes. It’s about a young girl being abused by her father,…
High5Collective, for those of you who don’t know, is an absolutely fantastic production team that makes unofficial music videos mostly for songs that don’t have MV’s—and are way better than most of the music videos you’ve ever seen. Artistic, heavy, satirical and beautiful, their direction and storytelling does the indie scene proud.
As for top picks, here’s the Mr. Little Jeans cover of Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs, and The Weeknd’s The Morning
Queen’s Gambit
It’s one-move mate, if you wanted it to be,
But forty seconds of blitz on your timer soon flee,
And knights take up to four moves to their end,
But you’ve got one, so when you spend it, spend well.
Jar of Parts
I have hate and limerence
and jealous frustration
in a liquid suspension,
a chemical temptation.
You mix the contents
When I think we’ve settled
to a solid metal—
Why must you meddle?

I got you
Baby I got you
Until you’re used to my face
And my mystery fades

hello, hello ellephanta: A white man is called "Cracker" by a black man.
The word hits him like a saltine underhand-tossed into a lake of whole milk. He feels nothing inside. He does not suddenly call to mind the centuries of injustice and cruelty people like him have suffered, because people like him have not suffered centuries of injustice and cruelty. He does not feel threatened, or like violence will be perpetrated upon him (anymore than he usually does when near a black man). He is not given an instant reminder of how the system in place today works—sometimes tacitly but often openly—against him, because the system works for him. He is so pretend-offended that he uses this instance as an excuse to hold on to his atrocious beliefs for the rest of his life.
This post. Yes.

Hormones, Pollution, Free Radicals
Don’t read this poem when it’s loud outside.
Don’t read it when it’s quiet.
Read in between the hollow seams
of vocals and silent riot,
read it when you’re bleary eyed,
up way late at night
Read it when there’s no up nor down
Read it when you’re lying.
There’s a loud ringing noise coming
from somewhere I cannot find,
I didn’t notice it until two seconds ago,
sat here for an hour and still did not know,
this loud ringing pitch, an audible twitch,
sensory adaptation removes from notice.
Now that I hear it I can’t unhear it.
Now that I hear it I can’t bear to hear it.
I read this book called White Noise
about unnatural stimuli in my head
I have a raging headache and I’m not surprised,
because in this world my body is getting used to
things it is not supposed to get used to.
No wonder I have a raging headache,
The unnatural stimulus surprise,
I read a book called My Body,
It was filled with foreign noise.
I like sleep.
It’s like death, but without commitment
The Opposite of Inhibition
We’ve played enough at give and take
Could you go all in, if for my sake?
All I say is tell me
all the things that you don’t tell me.
