iwriteaboutfeminism

This is ridiculous.

power-squirrel

WHAT THE FUCK.

NO.

THAT IS SO FUCKING WRONG.

Guys my degree and passion is in forensic science. I have had documentation of documentation, initial every thing, and be prepared to be discredited over a mistake drilled into me. If my camera had been out of batteries during my crime scene class, my professor would have chewed me out and failed me for the day. And she still would have expected me to go out and buy them right then and there.

This medical examiner has failed to uphold the most important aspect of evidence collection. You document the hell out of it. You document that you documented.

Guys this also means that there are no EVIDENCE QUALITY PHOTOGRAPHS.

This guy needs to be fired. Straight up FIRED.

Buddha Statues’ Heads: What it actually means.

Yesterday, I went shopping at Homegoods with my mom for some interior decorations and a few gifts. And what do you know: Buddha’s heads, either in brass and sold as “antique” or dipped in bright neon paint. My mom shook her head in disapproval and laughed. This really got my mind thinking that shoppers have literally no clue what these statues’ heads are really about.

This really got my mind thinking about that Thai movie “Ong-Bak" about how a group of thieves decapitated a Buddha statue’s head  & how a Muay Thai skilled warrior volunteered to return it before it is sold in the black market. Cutting off that religious statue’s head is seen as an act of vandalism & violence. It is one of the utmost disrespectful marks one could do in the religion. The original heads were stolen from respected places of worship. Cutting off Buddha statues’ heads have been happening for who-knows-how-long originally by greedy thieves.

And now they are replicated into fashion statements or interior decorating. They really have such a dark history behind them that nearly a lot of people had forgotten. (None of those pictures belong to me.)

The Buddha bust, usually in a faux Thai or Indonesian style, is one of the ugliest and most ignorant bourgeois accoutrements one can posses. Not only is it a bland and obvious attempt to purchase the appearance of spiritual depth, its presence immediately belies a total ignorance of the context and history of Buddhist images themselves!
A severed Buddha head, plundered from Borobudur, in the corner of a gentleman’s study is a romantic relic from a bygone age when the world considered genocide and forced military conquest a viable means of affairs. To keep a stolen cultural artifact as a trophy is to deny a sovereign people access to their own cultural heritage to satisfy one’s own ego.
That the idea of the severed Buddha head as decoration flourishes today is a disappointing remainder that the aesthetics marketed towards the middle class are a cheaper version of those objects collected by the wealthy, further divorced from their original context.

If you are like me, and of a very, very practical bent, there is literally no higher or best use of your latte money than to feed kids. In the BEST of times, food insecurity is a huge childhood issue throughout the United States, and one that somehow gets truly ignored for sexier causes.

But with schools being shut down in Ferguson, that’s some kids’ meal for the damn day. It’s even more dire. I cannot be more serious about this, even a dollar goes so far at these food banks, they don’t need awareness, they need MONEY. Currency is the currency of the realm.

yeah so avoid/report  tumblr user boyx because theyre running some like twink network that encourages people as young as 16 to join a group with people 18 and over, and obviously like, thats completely disgusting. as well as the fact that they have “shota” in their blog sidebar and don’t share their age and its creeping me out.

maxelectrodillon

yeah please reblog this because it really is concerning me and shit like this always goes like straight under the radar

hey protesters if you have an up to date android or iphone mobile device you can get an app from the aclu called ‘police tape’ and when you take video of cops committing brutality against your comrades it automatically uploads to the aclu server, which means if your phone gets confiscated the police cannot delete the evidence. might be useful for some of you.

Destroy the “good kid” narrative. Mike Brown deserved to live even if he wasn’t going to college, if he was aggressive and loud rather than shy, if he had a criminal record. 

Mike Brown deserved to live, not because he was some sort of exemplary fluke in the Black community, he deserved to live because he was a human being and BLACK LIVES MATTER.

Don’t reblog this post, it’s been deleted by the op for a reason.. it’s a white girl  speaking on matter she doesn’t fully understand. No don’t destroy the good kid narrative, because all other narratives we’re given is “violent, noisy, loud, thug, hard headed, animal, etc….” In the case of Michael Brown, that thing called him a demon.  No. We need to stress that Michael Brown was a good kid, because there are lot of good black kids but they don’t get the chance to be shown as such because stereotypes drown out that narrative. He was a good kid he was human being, and he didn’t deserve to die either way. 

You can fight to end racism as white folk but better remember you can’t speak for us as the black community, only yourself. Ya’ll better start checking where you reblogging shit from too…. people jumping on the bandwagon but not fully thinking their words through….. some folks this won’t even affect them past this week or today, they can go back to their lives of privilege and otherness, while black folk won’t get that chance. We’ve never had that chance.
