New york city. Abandoned office building. 20 somethinth floor. Her and i. 2 somethin in the morning. We find a room. Big brown desk in the center. We go to the big window. I pull up her shirt. Together we flash gotham. We go to the desk. I undress her. Slow sex. We dress. We're tired. It's been a long night. I lie on my back atop the big brown desk. She sits in the chair behind the desk. My arms are to my sides. Her hands support her sleepy head. We talk for awhile. What 20 somethins talk about. It gets quiet. She grabs my arm with both hands. Pulls it toward her. I turn my head to look. She positions it below her head. Scoots her chair closer to the desk. And lays her chin on my arm like a pillow. It feels weightless. She never says a word. She never asked a thing. She shuffled for a comfortable position. She seperates her hands along the length of my forearm. She turns her head to the side. Rests her right cheek on my forearm. She Yawns. I feel her breath on my wrist. She

Video Shows Immigrant Children Being Dragged and Slapped By Staffers at Arizona Shelter Immigrant children were recorded being dragged, pushed and slapped by staff members at an Arizona shelter in September, according to footage obtained by the Arizona Republic. The incidents allegedly occurred before the federal government suspended the Southwest Key shelter’s operations this fall, according to the outlet. Southwest Key is a Texas-based nonprofit organization that operates shelters for unaccompanied immigrant minors. The organization reported the incidents — they involved three children and staff members in Youngstown, Arizona — in mid-September, reports Arizona Republic. One of the blurred surveillance videos, released by the Arizona Department of Health Services, shows a male staffer dragging and pulling a boy into a room, then slapping him and pushing him against a wall. The staffer strikes him and then leaves the room, the newspaper reports. The boy then goes into the corner an

Study author suggests that media may play a significant role in disproportionate deaths of unarmed Black men The way that Black men are portrayed in the media contributes to a negative stereotype that affects how the police treats them, says a Rutgers School of Public Health study. The report which was published in late November in the book “Research in Race and Ethnic Relations” asserts that officers often respond to African American men with lethal and excessive force because of the prejudiced perceptions about them, according to Phys.org. “Unarmed Black Americans are five times more likely to be shot and killed by police than unarmed white Americans,” said professor Pamela Valera, a lead author of the study. “We believe that media may play a significant role in these disproportionate deaths.” She added: “The stereotypes held, consciously or unconsciously, about the criminality and ‘dangerousness’ of Black men influence the rates at which they are stopped and engaged by the police
