YADAH
HANDS TO GOD
 

“It is easy to romanticize poverty, to see poor people as inherently lacking agency and will. It is easy to strip them of human dignity, to reduce them to objects of pity. This has never been clearer than in the view of Africa from the American media, in which we are shown poverty and conflicts without any context.”
 

It is no secret that I am a sucker for cute animals. Every time I see something cute, I lose my ability to process rational thought. The cute little eyes, and the little squeaks, and just the littleness in general of animals seems to have it’s own special place of “awww” in my heart.
