the faint hum

The sound of the machines that never goes away, the last thing I hear at night and the gentle breath that greets me when I wake up before anyone else. Like the sigh of the wind through ancient tree-bound mountains, with flashing leds and un-set clocks.

I’ve gotten plenty of them before, and I know I’m not supposed to take them personally. Every time, though, I convince myself that it’s not a waste of time, that this submission’s going to be the one, it will get noticed. Then I get the rejection letter again.

Oh well. It’s not like it hasn’t happened before. The next one’s going to be different, though. I can feel it.

Sir Patrick Stewart calls on ‘one million men’ to promise an end to violence against women

fibromyalgialife:

NEW YORK—Sir Patrick Stewart stood in the center of the Diplomat Ballroom at the UN Hotel here on Friday, pounding his fist methodically against a podium, each thump punctuated with a number (“One … two … three …”) until he got to nine.

“Every nine seconds a woman is assaulted or beaten in the United States,” Stewart said.

The 72-year-old British-born actor, best known for his roles in “X-Men” and “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” served as host for the launch of “Ring The Bell,” a global campaign calling on one million men to make one million “concrete, actionable promises” to end violence against women.

“Violence against women is the single greatest human rights violation of our generation,” Stewart said.

“This is a call to action—not an act that will make things better in six months or a year’s time,” he continued. “This is action that might save a life today, or tonight, or tomorrow.”
