Viral Video of the Day: High School Student Schools His Teacher
Frustrated by receiving packets and worksheets instead of a lecture, Texas high school student Jeff Bliss shared his feelings about his teacher’s lack of engagement as she made him leave the classroom.
what’s with ppl talking about how their lives were ‘normal’ before x, y, and z happened? thats that shit that brings up problems.
what is normal? is it classist? sexist? racist? homophobic/heterosexist? ableist?
i just hate the use of the word “normal” to describe life before any major/minor event.
do u ever care about something for like three seconds

Black, Chicana, and First Nations radical socialist and anarchist labor organizer Lucy E. [González or Gonzales] Parsons (1853-1942) ca. 1920.
“Feared by the authorities because of her charismatic fiery speeches and intellect, the first Afro-Latina woman of color to engage prominently in the history of the Leftist American labor movement was labeled as ‘more dangerous than a thousand rioters’ by the Chicago Police Department.”
William Loren Katz writes in a passage adapted from Black Indians: A Hidden Heritage,
A dynamic, militant, self-educated public speaker and writer, she became the first American woman of color to carry her crusade for socialism across the country and overseas. Lucy Gonzales started life in Texas. She was of Mexican American, African American, and Native American descent and born into slavery. The path she chose after emancipation led to conflict with the Ku Klux Klan, hard work, painful personal losses, and many nights in jail. In Albert Parsons, a white man whose Waco Spectator fought the Klan and demanded social and political equality for African Americans, she found a handsome, committed soul mate. The white supremacy forces in Texas considered the couple dangerous and their marriage illegal, and soon drove them from the state…
She was one of only two women delegates (the other was Mother Jones) among the 200 men at the founding convention of the militant Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and the only woman to speak…
Lucy Parsons’ determined effort to elevate and inspire the oppressed to take command remained alive among those who knew, heard, and loved her. But few today are aware of her insights, courage, and tenacity. Despite her fertile mind, writing and oratorical skills, and striking beauty, Lucy Parsons has not found a place in school texts, social studies curricula, or Hollywood movies.
“More dangerous than a thousand rioters” YAAAASSSSS!!!!!!!

Saw this somewhere else and felt the need to post it cause no one else ever really tells you this stuff
My mom never really noticed. She noticed when she was breast feeding my little brother and blood started coming out instead of milk.
My mom said she felt and saw a little lump in the shower. She was lucky enough she found it at stage 2
My mom had a mammogram. The radiologist thought the spots were just regular calcium deposits.
Turns out it was triple negative breast cancer that had spread to her lymph nods. Mastectomy, radiation and chemo saved her life.
This could SAVE a life.
I wish i knew the signs earlier so i could have saved my mom
worb:
my parents are generally really normal and sane when it comes to social and political beliefs but they are incredibly anti-psychiatry and anti-therapy like they think it doesn’t work and most diagnoses are bullshit
i really wonder where that came from
they are so normal otherwise
remember the blackface mutilation cake in Sweden, and it was just in a room filled with white people laughing and eating a red velvet effigy of a “supposed” black person
This is fucking DISGUSTING
white people are sociopaths
U.S. pilot makes a mistake and drops a bomb on an Afghan wedding, killing 30. This happened today as well.
update: this happened about 9 years ago, and according to that particular article, it was reported, at least in the BBC. i agree that there is a huge imbalance in what is reported, but this did not happen at the same time as the boston marathon bombing. this happened in 2002.
