    I grew up hard and am still hard and I don’t care. I did not choose this face or this body and I have learned to live with it and love it and celebrate it and adorn it with tremendous drawings from the greatest artists in the world and I feel good and powerful like a nation that has never been free and now after many hard won victories is finally fucking free. I am beautiful and I am finally fucking free.

    Twenty-two years ago, 14 women in Montreal were murdered. The next morning, when my brother and my dad and I got up and started our days, my mum stayed in bed. She stayed home for three days total, alternately crying and making the point that the attack was an attack on all women, and reflected a wider culture of violence. Meanwhile at school, our French teacher dropped the entire year’s curriculum when she realized how ignorant we were about gender and violence, and from then until June we read and wrote exclusively about feminism. I think about these women, their anger and their intelligence, and the debt I owe them, every December 6 when I remember the 14 murdered women.

    stfuconservatives: shortformblog: Blogger told she’s not a journalist, fined $2.5 million: This is an important case. The Oregon blogger, Crystal Cox, runs a number of legal sites that play whistleblower to various firms. One of those firms, Obsidian Finance Group (they of obsidianfinancesucks.com) sued over defamatory postings. Nearly all of the allegations were thrown out — except for one. The post was fact-based, Cox claimed, as it was based on a source inside the company. But here’s the important part: A federal court claims that she’s not a journalist, despite the fact that the post was journalistic in nature, and she’s not subject to the shield laws that protect journalists in her state. Hence … the fine. This is important. Follow this story. Wow. WOW. As a former “real journalist,” this is horrifying. Whistleblowers AND journalists (even ones on the little ol’ Interwebz) should be protected under the law. Surprise, surprise: federal courts siding with a corporation over an actual person! -Jess

    Just searched Tumblr for the tag “james baldwin”. Inspiring, I recommend it, but I find myself oddly humbled and facing the panic of mortality. A lot of hospital bed photos on Tumblr tonight, and the words and photos of a great thinker, and my own aging face. Somehow I will sleep.

    Emotionally intense images of retired Philadelphia police captain Ray Lewis - who has joined the #OccupyWallStreet protests - being arrested by the NYPD.

    Captain Lewis has been outspoken against the NYPD’s wrongful use of violence against peaceful protesters.

    From what I have seen, Ray Lewis’ conduct defines honor, bravery, and dignity.

    There is a media blackout on images of his participation in the protest, and on his arrest:

    crosscrowdedrooms:

    It’s proved impossible for me to get this shot of former Philadelphia Police Cpt. Ray Lewis being arrested, published anywhere.  I was adamantly rebuffed by the Philadelphia Inquirer, NYT, local NY papers, and Newsweek, before even looking at the photograph.  One of the only published photos of this paradoxical and intense event is located here at the NYC Observer:

    http://www.observer.com/2011/11/former-philadelphia-police-captain-ray-lewis-arrested-ows/

    Make this viral and they will come.

    Ray Lewis gets 2 posts this morning, because this needs to be seen. I’m not even sure why, but this pair of photos made me cry hysterically.

    oh my god. so much props to this man. this country has turned into utter fucking insanity. 

    when the police are arresting one of their own…
