To Be Young, Gifted and Black (Nina Simone)

To be young, gifted and black,
Oh what a lovely precious dream
To be young, gifted and black,
Open your heart to what I mean

In the whole world you know
There are billion boys and girls
Who are young, gifted and black,
And that’s a fact!

You are young, gifted and black
We must begin to tell our young
There’s a world waiting for you
This is a quest that’s just begun

When you feel really low
Yeah, there’s a great truth you should know
When you’re young, gifted and black
Your soul’s intact

Young, gifted and black
How I long to know the truth
There are times when I look back
And I am haunted by my youth

Oh but my joy of today
Is that we can all be proud to say
To be young, gifted and black
Is where it’s at!


A Change Is Gonna Come (Sam Cooke)

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees

Ohhhhhhhhh.....

There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will


When Will We Be Paid (The Staple Singers)

When will we be paid for the work we’ve done
When will we be paid for the work we’ve done

We worked this country
From shore to shore
Our women cooked all your food
And washed all your clothes
We picked cotton and laid the railroad steel
Worked our hands down to the bone at your lumber mill

When will we be paid for the work we’ve done
When will we be paid for the work we’ve done

Fought in your wars, in every land
To keep this country free, y’all
For women, children, and men
But anytime we ask for pay or a loan
That’s when everything seems to turn out wrong
We’ve been beat up, called name, shot down, and stoned
Every time we do right, somebody say we’re wrong

When will we be paid for the work we’ve done
When will we be paid for the work we’ve done

Oh, oh when, when will we be paid ?
We’ve given up our sweat, now

And all of our tears
Stumbled through this life

For more than 300 years
I, I wanna know, the work we’ve done
When will be paid for the work we’ve done

Tell me
When will we be paid for the work we’ve done
When will we be paid for the work we’ve done

Will we ever be proud
Of "My country, tis of thee"
Will we ever sing out loud
Sweet land of Liberty

When will we be paid
For the work we’ve done

When will we be paid for the work we’ve done
When will we be paid for the work we’ve done

創作者要怎麼好好休息 + 避免工作過量?《黑貓創作報#4》午安,最近累不累? 這篇不是虛假的關心。而是《黑貓創作報》發行以來可能最重要的一篇。 是的,我們這篇講怎麼補充能量,也就是怎麼休息。

防曬產品係數測試報告彙整(2024年)從2014年起,自己對於市售防曬產品的效能產生了濃厚的興趣。因為當時候發現不少產品的防曬係數其實標示是有問題的,像是原本應該是人體測試的SPF與PA數值,實際上沒有做,只用機器測試的數據來充當,但這兩者卻有很大的差異。像是防曬係數其實有強度、廣度與平均度三個面向需要一起判斷,但多數廠商並沒有完整標示

零廢棄生活是種遙不可及的願景?你今天就可以開始挑戰《 我家沒垃圾 》你能想像自己的生活裡沒有垃圾嗎?但有這樣的一群人正在過著「零廢棄生活」。在我看完《 我家沒垃圾 》這本書後,我發現這種生活模式和極簡主義有異曲同工之妙。而不僅不會痛苦,反而能夠幫助我們追求更美的人生。零廢棄生活並非遙不可及的挑戰,而是持續努力的生活方式

「你有一天也可以的。」-來自心理師的祝福。  也許你的諮商師並非甚麼值得效仿學習的典範,要看見自己吹的泡泡開始破滅了嗎?但也許你更進一步的想像,諮商師好偉大,好有勇氣,好不容易阿,那也隨你...(放棄溝通貌)

今天聽什麼|【聽歌】孫燕姿 - 天黑黑2000年的歌,一個youtube都還沒盛行的年份。 孫燕姿《天黑黑》的歌詞,中間台語部分的詞取自同名童謠《天黑黑》,這卻是一首流行歌,就好像我們逐漸脫離了童年,走進社會。有難過、有痛苦,但童年的快樂仍會永遠陪伴著你,外婆的歌也會時不時在你耳邊響起,支撐著、陪伴著,你終將會成為一個獨當一面的大人。

別再被「假期」侷限了! 快速消除「今天可以不努力」的學生心態不過一旦打破了假期的侷限,其實也就沒有所謂的「假期」 一整年都是你可以去衝刺、休息、檢討的時光,打破了這樣的思維,你其實更能去掌握生活的步調,不會有種「我今天可以不努力」的心態
