The American Flag as Redesigned in 1901 by Mark Twain. Ramparts, May 1968.
“And as for a flag for the Philippine Province, it is easily managed. We can have a special one - our States do it: we can have just our usual flag, with the white stripes painted black and the stars replaced by the skull and cross-bones”
– Mark Twain, 1901 From the essay To the Person Sitting in Darkness.
✧ Let’s be honest, if someone complimented your face, he’d agree with them. But as soon as their eyes move down your body and have the audacity to howl a distasteful comment at you, he’s pissed. He doesn’t show it though. On the outside, he says something to shoo them off and seems sort of irritated but on the inside, he is just boiling with rage.
✧ He does one of two things, either gets verbal with them, or shows them that you’re his. He’ll spin your around almost playfully as if he didn’t hear a thing and lock lips with you passionately, eyes closed when he initiates it, but he’ll coldly open them slightly to make eye-contact with the disgusting individual as if he could kill them with his glare.
✧ He doesn’t really know what to do about how you feel afterwards. He could tell you’re uncomfortable and all he can really offer are “it’s okay” and a shower of compliments you know come from deep within his heart. He’ll shower you with praise about everything else either than your body, saying how much you mean to him, how intelligent you are, etc.
✧ If you’re feeling insecure about your body—feeling like your body is to blame, he’ll take you to his bed and just cover your whole body with his soft kisses. He won’t say a word and just shower you in all the kisses he feels you deserve. He really doesn’t know how to verbally use his mouth so kisses it is, is what he believes.
✧ He’ll come back later without you knowing to beat the absolute sense out of the harasser, with his friends of course. There’s no mercy, no apology accepted, no forgiveness. No one makes the love of his life uncomfortable, no one.
toured mark twain’s house today and it was really cool and fun and i think we should keep painting geometric designs with metallic paint on walls to reflect more light
i’m also completely obsessed with the metallic gold Candace Wheeler bee wallpaper that was in one of the rooms. the bees & leaves were on the walls and the webs were on the ceiling
