When they say you can’t, when they hold you back, DON’T LISTEN.

  • Live by your own rules
  • Express yourself
  • Explore the possibilities
  • Let. Yourself. GO!

Never feel guilty for creating your own happiness. Just laugh! Have fun! Who knows what will happen tomorrow, so live it up NOW!



Understand that the police and laws are part of a system that is anti-poor, anti-women, anti-people of colour, anti-queer, and anti-people with disabilities. Understand that to truly be free, to truly do what you are trying to do, which is resisting the laws that allow some to be rich and powerful and for the rest to live at their mercy, you must resist racism, sexism, classism, homophobia and disableism. You must resist the very structure every one of these laws is based on — you must resist colonialism.

Understand that to truly be free, to truly include the entire 99 per cent, you have to say today, and say every day: We will leave no one behind. We will leave no one in jail. We will leave no one in the clutches of immigration enforcement. We will leave no one when they are strong. We will leave no one when they are weak. We will support the decisions people make, to do whatever they feel necessary to survive and to resist. We will support those that fight in the courts, and we will support those that fight in the streets.

Government Orders YouTube To Censor Protest Videos

In a frightening example of how the state is tightening its grip around the free Internet, it has emerged that You Tube is complying with thousands of requests from governments to censor and remove videos that show protests and other examples of citizens simply asserting their rights, while also deleting search terms by government mandate.

The latest example is You Tube’s compliance with a request from the British government to censor footage of the British Constitution Group’s Lawful Rebellion protest, during which they attempted to civilly arrest Judge Michael Peake at Birkenhead county court.

The Indigos are here.

annieelainey:

We are the Indigo generation.

If you are unfamiliar with the term Indigo, you are not alone, but I’ve been doing my reading on it for a few years now since I was told that I might be one.

It used to be that “indigo” described the color of the aura, it is also pushing it’s way into psychology books as a new mentality or way of thinking, an “evolving of the mind”. There is still so much to know but so far we know that Indigos are people typically born between the 70’s up until the late 90’s, they are people who are “spiritual warriors” or “system busters”, they are here to transform the world, enlighten people towards a higher evolution.

They will break down all our traditional and fear based systems. Their mission is to take us into the new age, to create a whole new paradigm.

They are old souls, they know who they are, have great self-awareness and the ability to read others, they have high sensitivities to the energies around them, some even have psychic abilities (some more fine tuned than others).

There is a lot more to know, I recommend looking up “Indigo children” or “Indigos” but be careful with what you read as some of it is not accurate.

I’ve been reading about this for years, waiting to see what they’ll do, and as far I can tell, it’s happening right now.

The Smile of Hope

This is a picture of a young girl being arrested during the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ protest on the Brooklyn Bridge.

The picture tells us something very important, with brutal clarity. When the police are out on the streets macing and arresting kids for peacefully protesting political issues then we know beyond argument something is terminally rotten in America.

It tells us there is hope too, though. The spark of freedom that flickered in the middle-east during the Arab Spring is being re-ignited in America. People are waking up from the long, bad dream. They are seeing the lies and exploitation and hypocrisy all around them and saying ‘Enough’.

The battles to be fought are formidable, the forces ranged against us are frightening, but now at least we have hope that a better America, and a better world, is possible.

Catcalling: Making walking down the street invasive, intrusive, insulting and uncomfortable since its unfortunate patriarchal invention.



“Female fat [as] a moral issue is articulated with words like good and bad. If our culture’s fixation on female fatness or thinness was about sex, it would be private issue between a woman and her lover; if it were about health, between a woman and herself… A cultural fixation on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty but one about obedience.” — Naomi Wolf The Beauty Myth (via fuckyeahangryfatgrrrls)


“And make no mistake about it: we can be called sluts for nearly any reason at all. If we’re dancing. If we’re drinking. If we have ever in our lives enjoyed sex. If our clothes aren’t made of burlap. If we’re women of color, we’re assumed to be sluts before we do a single thing because we’re “exotic.” If we’re fat or disabled or otherwise considered undesirable, we’re assumed to be sluts who’ll fuck anyone who’ll deign to want us. If we’re queer boys or trans women, we’re called sluts in order to punish us for not fearing the feminine. If we’re queer women, especially femme ones, we’re called sluts because we’re obviously “up for anything,” as opposed to actually attracted to actual women. If we’re poor, we’re gold diggers who’ll use sex to get ahead. And god forbid we accuse someone of raping us – that’s the fast track to sluthood for sure, because it’s much easier to tell us what we did wrong to make someone to commit a felony violent crime against us than it is to deal with the actual felon.

There’s a word for all of this. And that word is bullshit. But there’s also a phrase for it: social license to operate. What that means is this: we know that a huge majority of rapes are perpetrated by a small minority of guys who do it again and again. You know why they’re able to rape an average of 6 times each? Because they have social license to operate. In other words: because we let them. Because as a society, we say “oh well, what did she expect would happen if she went back to his room? What did she expect would happen walking around by herself in that neighborhood? What did she expect would happen dressed like a slut?” — Jaclyn Friedman at Boston’s Slut Walk (via somechattybroad)
