RAFA, Gaza Strip—A house dedicated to Rachel Corrie,
a 23-year-old American peace activist from Olympia, Wash.,
who was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer in March 2003.
She had attempted to block the path of the bulldozer as it approached
a Palestinian home marked for destruction, 2003. The memorial reads:
Rachel: Our sister. Our daughter. If I am to live let me live like you &
if I must die let me die like you with courage in one hand and love in the
other and a heart full of joy and resistance.

In Knoxville, Tennessee, a white supremacist group, VNN Vanguard Nazi/KKK, attempted to hold a hate rally. Then the clowns showed up….
“White Power!” the Nazi’s shouted, “White Flour?” the clowns yelled back running in circles throwing flour in the air and raising separate letters which spelt “White Flour”.
“White Power!” the Nazi’s angrily shouted once more, “White flowers?” the clowns cheers and threw white flowers in the air and danced about merrily.
“White Power!” the Nazi’s tried once again in a doomed and somewhat funny attempt to clarify their message, “ohhhhhh!” the clowns yelled “Tight Shower!” and held a solar shower in the air and all tried to crowd under to get clean as per the Klan’s directions.
At this point several of the Nazi’s and Klan members began clutching their hearts as if they were about to have a heart attack. Their beady eyes bulged, and the veins in their tiny narrow foreheads beat in rage. One last time they screamed “White Power!”
The clown women thought they finally understood what the Klan was trying to say. “Ohhhhh…” the women clowns said. “Now we understand…”, “WIFE POWER!” they lifted the letters up in the air, grabbed the nearest male clowns and lifted them in their arms and ran about merrily chanting “WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER!”

old wmst building at uga, as it should be.YAY!
I am totally ok with this:
Muslim Women’s Rights, Continued (via igather) (via subjecttomeg) (via enjoli)
This this this. I was saying This to the man at my house a couple of days ago. I’m glad that the contributions and sacrifices of the women in Iran are being acknowledged, but the way the media is spinning their participation is jumping all over my “he’s well spoken for a black guy” nerve.
(via thesmarttart)
And my thought? That I very much doubt that the mullahs imagine Muslim women to be weak and passive; in fact, I think the mullahs are well aware that they’re not. It’s the Western media that doesn’t get it.
