Asean (ah-Shawn) goes to Marcus Garvey Elementary School, slated for closure by the Chicago Public School administration, an un-elected board who’s members are appointed by Mayor Rahm Elmanuel, former Chief of Staff for President Barack Obama
===
Daaaamn. Watch this 9-yr old student stand up and spit hot fire at a mass rally against the Chicago Mayor and Public School administration who are trying to close his and dozens of other schools in mostly non-white neighborhoods.
Crying. Black and brown children shouldn’t have to grow up so fast. This kid is absolutely amazing, but I wish we lived in a world where he could just play with his friends, hang out with his family or spend time worrying about if that girl down the street has a crush on him, instead of having to take on the responsibility of advocating for himself and other black, brown and low income childrens’ education. POC kids can never just be kids, man.
Bolded that last sentence for the cot damn truth.
So proud of this little dude for speaking out, now I just hope people will LISTEN
because Jess grew up in a different region than Rory & Luke
different region => different dialect => different accent => different pronunciation of “Mariano”

Free AdmissionConceiving of abstraction as a language with the potential to span the gulf between African-American and dominant modernisms, Jennie C. Jones makes her solo museum debut in a “Directions” exhibition that features an “acoustic intervention” in the gallery space. She discusses her work and the connections between avant-garde visual and musical practices with pianist Jason Moran, artistic advisor for jazz at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
“Directions: Jennie C. Jones: Higher Resonance“ is organized by associate curator Evelyn Hankins. Major funding for Directions is provided by Altria Group, with additional support from the Herb Alpert Foundation.

So I finished watching Teen Wolf
basically
#walk up into the murder scene like whaddup i got a shitload of empathy
ONCE THERE WAS A HUSHPUPPY, AND SHE LIVED WITH HER DADDY IN THE BATHTUB
period
Sometimes
I can feel
My uterine lining letting go of my walls
And falling to a bloody death
issue with Marissa Mayar:
she disbanded the work-from-home model that served so many working mothers and fathers the opportunity to continue working but be available as a parent

While every disabled person will have their own take on this for themselves, i am not “differently abled” and i kindly ask that you not insist on calling me that. It may seem like a trivial thing, but it’s not.
When you call me “differently abled” (in most cases this is regarding your perceptions and interpretations of my body), you are obscuring (however intentional or not) the reality that what is actually going on is in part just an ableist social construction made architectural: some people are actively ENabled to be part of their communities/ neighbourhoods/ spaces/ etc, and some of us are actively DISabled from doing so specifically because in general those who are ENabled to do so are the ones making the decisions about how and when and where the constructed environment is created and DISabled folks just have to suck it up because, yknow, ableism.

Teen’s invention could charge your phone in 20 seconds
(Photo: Intel)
Waiting hours for a cellphone to charge may become a thing of the past, thanks to an 18-year-old high-school student’s invention. She won a $50,000 prize Friday at an international science fair for creating an energy storage device that can be fully juiced in 20 to 30 seconds.
What’s next for Kaitlyn Hunt, the teen charged with a felony for a same-sex relationship with a classmate.
Feminism is anti-sexism. A male who has divested of male privilege, who has embraced feminist politics, is a worthy comrade in struggle, in no way a threat to feminism, whereas a female who remains wedded to sexist thinking and behavior infiltrating feminist movement is a dangerous threat. Significantly, the most powerful intervention made by consciousness-raising groups was the demand that all females confront their internalized sexism, their allegiance to patriarchal thinking and action, and their commitment to feminist conversion. That intervention is still needed. It remains the necessary step for anyone choosing feminist politics. The enemy within must be transformed before we can confront the enemy outside. The threat, the enemy, is sexist thought and behavior. As long as females take up the banner of feminist politics without addressing and transforming their own sexism, ultimately the movement will be undermined.
-bell hooks, Feminism is for Everybody
just going to emphasize that last sentence again: As long as females take up the banner of feminist politics without addressing and transforming their own sexism, ultimately the movement will be undermined.
