“If I ran for Sudan, I would be betraying my people. I would be dishonoring the two million people who died for our freedom. I want to bring honor to my country. People who just want glory, the spotlight of the Olympics, they don’t care about other people. I’m fighting for independent status because I do care. When I run, I want people to see me and say, ‘He is from South Sudan.’”
-Guor Marial, running under the Independent Olympic Athletes flag in London 2012

you guys this song is about being gay in america and it is so heartbreaking and so hopeful and makes me want to lie down on the floor and cry and cry and cry.
#you guys will not BELIEVE this movie #it is shocking how heavy my heart was when it ended #my favorite scene #perhaps in this and any other movie in the world #occurs on a boat in the middle of the ocean #full of sex workers #i get the chills even thinking about it #alligators #black heroines #don’t know if my brain could handle this wonder if it was any younger #this movie was like seeing a new color that i never knew existed #still recuperating
I am really, really excited about Beasts of the Southern Wild.
