CLAUDE DEBUSSY: CLAIRE DE LUNE
Senate defeats bills to keep student loan rates low
WASHINGTON — The Senate Thursday failed to pass two bills that would have blocked increases in federal student loan rates, which are set to double July 1.
The Republicans solution to too much college debt is to give [them] more debt by increasing rates as an addition to the worsening job market.While a differing comparison,
Loan rate for Wall Street Banks: 0.75%
Student loan rates after July 1: 6.8%.
Democrats wanted to pay for [it] by closing tax loopholes.Republicans wanted to pay for [it] by taking away healthcare for children.
Increase the taxes of the poor, yes! Increase the taxes of the 2% for the benefit of society, no! It is social Darwinism at its best. I am sure William Graham Sumner would approve.Welcome to America!
My neurotic corner of inspiration for the next three weeks.
It is very comfy in an arousing, gritty sort of way. That when I sit down, sometimes I imagine I am writing in the below writing space (my version is tinier,antiquated and cluttered) where I can change the scenery whenever I choose fit.
This past week I made my own Coffee liquer
Might I say, it came out pretty tasty.
Since getting a job at a winery in New York, my dear friend Ryan has inspired me to attempt to make my own wine…or beer. I think I’m going to try to home brew. I wish I had dandelions…
Elle Mexico - June 2013
In this industry I’m known as the model with the dance background, so I’m often asked to pull some pretty acrobatic poses on set (for instance this, this and this). That doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it when I get to take it easy from time to time on a shoot. Here I am in the latest Elle Mexico showing I can slouch, slump and lounge with the best of them.

Poets voice that which has no voice in this world. They speak in tongues, and hope their words reach the ears and touch the hearts of those who know what it means to live. Much like fiction writers, poets struggle to remember how to make sense of existence. They share a passion for language, and a common, driving need: to imagine the world not just as it is, but how it ought to be.
Poetry tends toward silence. It accounts for the void in a way that fiction is not always able to do. Poetry aspires to be a song, more than a story, to be lyrically rich. It is also full of primal messages that, somehow, can express the inexpressible. There is more than meets the eye. Fiction writers can directly benefit from reading poetry in this way; lines inspire sentences, stanzas transform paragraphs, as poems animate pages.
