ISU theatre student Rob Hornbostel hosts a racist Martin Luther King Jr Day “celebration” claiming to represent his legacy by serving fried chicken, cornbread, “purple drank” and watching Black Dynamite. Now he’s been awarded with a nomination for the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Foundation (KCACTF) national competition for sound work on Naomi Iizuka’s “Anon(ymous),” a play that focuses on the very racism Hornbostel is perpetuating. Sign this petition to make ISU take action by barring Hornbostel from representing ISU at the KCACTF’s competition, and hold him accountable for these egregious, public and widely self-publicised acts of racism and bigotry. /micdrop
Signed.
You should sign this petition.
thanks guise :’)

This has been one of the hardest poems I have ever written. I tried ignoring it but it would not let me move until I wrote it. It will likely see at least one more drat but I am finally willing to put this out there.
Tragedy By Rachel Wiley

Besides rocking the poems from side to side, I am also 1/4th of a rather formidable quartet of emcees, cleverly named Cold Men Young. This here is our latest video for our song “The Comeback” off our recently released head-nodder “You Should Be A Fan” #YSBAF (*hint-hint*: I’m the one in the furry hat & stylish mitt-gloves. SWERVE)
We rappity rap about alotta things & stuff that generate record amounts of HELL YEAH, but whats most important is that we do so very dope-like. I believe it would behoove you to take a gander, then travel over to ColdMenYoung.com & immerse yourself in
ALL OF THE THINGS!!! *insert grandiose echo here*
Quvenzhané Wallis seamlessly gets into her character, Hushpuppy.
Give her an academy award or the Bathtub will rise up and get ALL OF YOU AND YOURS.

Another one of the joints I performed during my feature @ the incredible Soapboxing Slam Series & Button Poetry. I cannot emphasize enough how my peoples in the Twin Cities held me down. Too dope!
The full title of this poem is “Series Of Letters From Uninsured Poet To Irregular Heartbeat Because He Couldn’t Afford The Doctor”, but you can call it “To The Wardrum” for short lol. Enjoy. Share. Comment. Cook-Dance to.
By the end of this summer, a former taxicab repair shop in the shadow of the Michigan Central Station in Corktown will be home to the first legal distillery within Detroit’s city limits since the days of the Purple Gang, blind pigs and Prohibition
