Hey. Hey. Stop Scrolling For A Sec.

Hey Tumblr, what energizes you to achieve your dreams?

We’ve teamed up with the girls from STEP - a real life story from Fox Searchlight about a high school girls’ step team in Baltimore - to learn what energizes people to achieve their dreams. For the girls in the film, Step is Life and is helping them to achieve their dreams. It’s the outlet that keeps them united and helped them prepare to be the first in their families to go to college. When we surround ourselves with strong women, anything is possible!

We want to hear your story!

What keeps you motivated and energized, despite any hardships or barriers you face? Maybe it’s music, film, dance, sports, drawing, fandom, or maybe it’s something else.

Tell us what keeps you going and moving forward by filling in this message:

________ IS LIFE!

Post your “___ IS LIFE!” story on Tumblr with a selfie, text, video, or piece of art. Just make sure to tag your post #StepisLife so everyone can see it.

Here’s the awesome part. For every post that’s shared with the tag #StepisLife, 21st Century Fox will donate $1 to Step Up to support mentorship programs for high school girls. By sharing your story on Tumblr, you’re helping to make things possible for women everywhere.

“La sirena y el pescador,” Elisa Chavez.

Hey all! This poem is part of my chapbook Miss Translated, which I produced in a limited run as Town Hall Seattle’s Spring 2017 artist-in-residence. The main conceit behind this work is that to accurately portray my relationship with Spanish, I have to explore the pain and ambiguity of not speaking the language of my grandparents and ancestors. As a result, these poems are bilingual … sort of. Each one is translated into English incorrectly.

The poems I produced have secrets, horrific twists, emotional rants, and confessions hiding in the Spanish. It’s my hope that people can appreciate them regardless of their level of Spanish proficiency.

Accurately-titled novels. 

Happy birthday Jason you nerd

Come away oh human child, to the waters and the wild, with a fairy, hand in hand, for the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.

Song of the Sea (2014) dir. Tomm Moore

Davey: Why, dear god, is the building on fire?

Jack: a dragon sneezed

Race: tried to light a cig with a flamethrower

Albert: dropped my latest mixtape

Davey: Crutchie, please, tell me what happened

[Flashback to Crutchie arguing with Race that it was impossible for a fire extinguisher to catch on fire]

Crutchie: i don’t remember
