i think that what is happening in egypt is amazing and terrible, in equal measure. don’t start banging off about how it’s horrible and tragic. it is. it’s a people, a nation rising up against the state, and fighting for a better life. and that is amazing. i don’t think there is anything poetic or romantic about war, i think it’s a terrible thing, something that really...

I know that many people in the US are scared out of their wits that the US is “going the way of Sweden” and turning into a socialist society. I almost laugh out loud every time I hear that.

The door of his wife’s car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog.
Proceeding into the entry, he...

This article is so old, but i like to remind myself of this from time to time mainly because when i tell this to male friends they always refuse to believe me.

Thanks for following. I reblog and occasionally find original content relating to feminism, anti-racism, social justice, environmental awareness and veganism. I also sometimes post random silliness and whine about my personal life.
SOMETIMES.

I Hate This Mess: What's Happening in Egypt... →
promotingpeace:
The basics: Egypt is a large, mostly Arab, mostly Muslim country. At around 80 million people, it has the largest population in the Middle East and the third-largest in Africa. Most of Egypt is in North Africa, although the part of the country that borders Israel, the Sinai…

URGENT: Egypt has shut off the internet →
I just received a call from a friend in Cairo (I won’t say who it is now because he’s a prominent activist) telling me neither his DSL nor his USB internet service is working. I’ve just checked with two other friends in different parts of Cairo and their internet is not working either.
This just happened 10 minutes ago — and perhaps not uncoincidentally just after AP TV posted a video of a...

Don't Date A Girl Who Reads →
