“You won’t allow me to go to school. I won’t become a doctor. Remember this: One day you will be sick.”

Poem written by an 11 year old Afghan girl 

This poem was recorded in a NYT magazine article about female underground poetry groups in Afghanistan. An amazing article about the ways in which women are using a traditional two line poetry form to express their resistance to male oppression, their feelings about love (considered blasphemous).

I WONDERED IF YOU GAVE A FUCK ABOUT THE BACKLASH. "I didn’t, until people started hating me for me and not for my art. When it’s not about my art anymore, it’s like, “They hate me because I’m Kayleigh, not because they hate the songs that I make.” That’s when it changed. When things are taken out of context, people assume so much about you. I didn’t realize I’d care so much. When it comes to my art, I’m like, “Bitch, you can think whatever you want. You are allowed to hate it with all your guts.” But when it comes to me and my personality, it’s like, “Damn. Am I the most insufferable bitch of our generation?” [...] And it makes me cry. I don’t know if it will ever feel okay to hear someone say something really hateful about me."

I'm going to warn you all that now I have acquired a dog, the amount of dogposting on this blog is going to increase exponentially. I'll try to tag it all (maybe as dogposting? or just dogs) but he's my special little boy who I love already, so can you really blame me.
