117 ASL Poetry - A Poem by Poe (video)

Here is my ASL (American Sign Language) interpretation of "Israfel" (1831), a poem by Edgar Allan Poe. I suggest you read the poem and watch the video WITHOUT closed captioning. My interpretation is my own only - the way I sign is just how I interpret the poem.

116 Troll Magnet

I've constantly been attacked by trolls on the Internet, so I thought it would be cool to assemble a bunch of the most common (and yet the most ridiculously absurd) attack phrases that I've gotten from trolls. I am ugly, I am fat, I am a slut, I am a dumb bitch, I am not really deaf, I am a terrorist, I am a Nazi, I am just like a dictator. So, I wanted to use a Meme-Generator style photo series with varied photos of myself, slapped with Troll Attack Phrases. Here, I present you sexism, racism, Islamophobia, ableism, and misogyny in its full glory!

115 Aphrodisiac

written by Sabina England



the pain
in your eyes
i wish i could dissolve it
like chocolate in one’s mouth
the sorrow in your heart
so heavy
like a steel torch
the anger in your soul
overwhelms me
i struggle to withstand
against your rage
i’m not them
i’m not your enemy
i’m not like either one of your parent
i ain’t gonna abuse you
be cruel
curse
threaten
mock
you
no
i ain’t like these monsters
i cherish you
adore
admire
respect
i’m infatuated with you
i want to treat you good
and bring you joy
and take care of you
and kiss all over your body
let me bring a smile
onto your lips
see your eyes
lit up
you are so worth it
go ahead
take your anger out
on me
if it makes you feel better
i can take it
i’ll carry your burdens on my back
across the world
even if my back breaks
and i stumble
and i groan
and i collapse
and i shatter into thousands of pieces,
just for you.
let me be your angel
so i can spead my wings across
to shield you
from the monsters
you are
my aphrodisiac
succinct
intense
noble
terse
alpha
human.

new show coming up in DC

There will also be stage performances by artists like Chip Han, J. Pharaoh and the Manhattan Project, Keva I. Lee, etc. Sulu DC will honor a few Asian American figures in the arts, such as playwright Wajahat Ali, poet Beau Sia, rapper MC Rocky Rivera, etc.

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!!
