Hi Mark,

I’m thrilled to announce that Posterous has been acquired by Twitter!

The opportunities in front of Twitter are exciting, and we couldn’t be happier to bring our technology and expertise to hundreds of millions of users around the globe.  Plus, the people at Twitter are genuinely nice folks who share our vision for making sharing simpler.

Posterous Spaces will remain up and running without disruption. We’ll give users ample notice if we make any changes to the service. For users who would like to back up their content or move to another service, we’ll share clear instructions for doing so in the coming weeks.

You can find more information answers to other questions you may have here.

Finally, I’d like to offer thanks to everyone, especially those who have been with Posterous since day one. The last four years have been an amazing journey. Your encouragement, praise and criticism have made Posterous better, and I really appreciate everything you’ve done.

Thanks again and I look forward to building great things for you at Twitter.

- Sachin

Mellow Overtones

Blind Justice
by April Rain

Come see what we have created ,see what the human race has done
All the things that we have hated has come and murdered someone’s son
Was it during the cold dark night
That’s not always when cruelty is in sight
Yet time for some to do as they please
Without fear or begging to put them at ease
Brutally he killed his victim
Repeating the past and escaping the system
Why this happened no one seems to know
Yet we are left to see the blood bath show
The child was missing more than a day
Family praying that he just ran away
Reported later where findings of body parts
Parts of a child who is now in all of our hearts
A child who’s innocent’s was his only crime
Helping out his neighbors from time to time
A mother will go through never ending pain
For she didn’t know that her neighbor was insane
A sick man who’d murdered before
Yet information was swept under a secret door
A child exposed it by death, not a key
Behind the door lies Blind Justice we all must see

Dedicated to: Justin Wiles.
My heart still bleeds for you

Silent Cries
by @Aprils_Reign

Silent Cries of the night
The tears I try to fight
All my hopes and dreams in life
Torn away as if cut by a knife

I try to forget my fears
But instead they come rolling down in tears
The more I try to forget all the trouble
The more it seems they double

With all the lies I keep inside
It seems the more I try to hide

When I wake up so silent
From having a dream so violent
I try to wipe my eyes
From all the silent cries

Nameless
by Aprils_Reign

Bitch get up!! Get off the floor & find my clothes
Hurry & clean up the blood from your nose
I know you can move!! Stop with all the tears!
I should be crying having to drag you out of bed after all these years
Why can’t you just do what your told?
You make me sick and it’s getting old
Come on baby, stop crying
I love you & you know I’m not lying
Let me carry you to bed and dry your tears
I’m sorry, but why do you make me hurt you still after all these years
Come here baby, let me hold you
What happened to your face? It’s black and blue.
I didn’t do that. I would never hurt my baby
You’re my world & without you I’d go crazy
Is that a bag of your clothes by the door?
Do you really think I’m letting you leave anymore?
Tell me where you will go anyway?
You have always been just a throw away
I’m the only one who will ever want you
You know in your heart that this is true
I love you so much that I can’t control my rage
I wanna protect you from the world in a cage
Stand back up you Fucking Bitch.
You want me to one day dump your body in a ditch?
DAMN it you fucking whore
Think you can use me and walk out the door
Now you just broke the coffee table
Get up!! I know you’re able
Bitch get up and clean up this shit
Fuck your ribs just cracked with that last hit
STOP CRYING!
I’m sick of your tears and your lying
Come here baby, let me carry you to bed
Fuck now you put a hole in the wall with your head
Wake up baby, where are the tears?
I love you Please don’t leave me after all these years
Stop faking it, I know you are in there
Get up baby! Don’t die. I really do care
Come on, we’ll tell the hospital that you hit your head
And they will tell me that you really aren’t dead
Why did you do this to me?
What a mess you left for the world to see.
Fuck you Bitch, get up and open your eyes hon
Don’t die on me, I’m not done

"Our Lady Hope"
by @Aprils_Reign

Immortality is for the rich and the greedy
Death is for the poor and the needy
The sick survive by sucking onto hope
A dying witch at the end of a rope
I spit on your lies and despise your tongue
For our Lady called Hope you have hung
The wealthy hung the noose with greed
For our Lady called Hope THEY did not need
They Fuck their money and feed us lies
While ignoring our young’s chilling cries
Laughing and watching as she gasps for breath
They smile at her suffering waiting for her death
Leaving the rest of us to keep reaching out
Hoping the rest of the world will join in our shout
Give us back our dreams and hope
Open your eyes and see her heart & cut the rope

If you are still too cold to see
Then HOPE will ONLY belong to you - The GOP

Wake Up
by @Aprils_Reign

Wake up, can you not hear the rain?
Can you not see me and all the pain?
Do the dark clouds blind you from the truth?
Are my tears just not enough proof?
How do you sleep so deeply while I cry?
Leaving me all alone wondering and wanting to die.
Why can you not touch me when I’m sad?
Can you not hold me when the weather is bad?
Will you not just hold my hand,
till the darkness has passed and I can once again stand?
Why do you leave me to walk in this cold darkness alone?
This lonely scary road with no one to lead me home.
Wake up, can you not see the rain?
Reach over and just touch me and take away this pain.
Please just hold me until the clouds go away
till the Sunshine comes back and gives me a reason to stay.
Have all of these years been in vain?
PLEASE
WAKE UP, CAN YOU NOT FEEL THE RAIN?
