Found this floating around tumblr.Rainy days call for spontaneous tattoos right? A lil’ tribute to Flight of the Conchords done by Myles Kimball at One King Tattoo in Portland, Maine.
Black woman tears up Oakland City Council
(in response to May Day repression of Occupy Oakland and a newly proposed law that would make it illegal for revolutionaries to carry shields and barricades during marches)
“You’re asking why we need our shields for self defense? After a grenade went off behind my head at 12 in the afternoon and gave me something [PTSD] that soldiers coming back from Iraq have? …The policy don’t need to be changed. We’ve got reform crammed so far up our ass it’s clouding our judgement. The police need to be held accountable… and I’m not a nihilist, but I wish I could BURN EVERY FUCKING THING DOWN, except for the houses, so that people could begin to understand that we don’t need this system to survive… There are people being arrested for trying to start farms…!
DON’T SILENCE ME, don’t you fucking DARE. I am SO TIRED… and if you cut off this mic, I’ll still have a mouth… what you’re dealing with is more than rage…
As a black woman, I’m telling you… you’re not serving the people! You’re only serving capitalism. And if you take our shields, the only thing we have left is our second amendment rights— SO IF WE SHOOT BACK…!
YOU DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO ARREST ME!”
Huey would be proud
Allow Autistic Student to Graduate!
Just a week before graduation, Sinclaire Coffer, an autistic student, found out he is not going to be allowed to graduate.
Coffer has good grades — mostly A’s and B’s — but he hasn’t been able to pass the math exam that is required for all Georgia students in order to graduate high school. The state allows students with disabilities to apply for a waiver that allows a student to graduate regardless of exams, but Coffer was denied. The family has not been told why, but most special needs students have been denied waivers.
Coffer wants to learn how to make movies and go to film school, but he cannot follow his dreams if he isn’t even allowed to receive his hard-earned diploma.
Please tell the Georgia State Board of Education to allow Coffer to graduate and to change the policy so that special needs students have better access to these waivers. This is an injustice and it needs to be changed!

Mr Lahey: Hey, I got a good idea. You could teach, 'livin' in a car and growin' dope' 101.
Ricky: And you can teach 'How to get drunk, get fired from the police force, become a lousy trailer park supervisor that sucks; hangs around with a fuckin' idiot that doesn't wear a shirt and looks like a dick but thinks he's good...' 101.
Mother Earth will endeavor to attract and appeal to all those who oppose encroachment on public and individual life. It will appeal to those who strive for something higher, weary of the commonplace; to those who feel that stagnation is a deadweight on the firm and elastic step of progress; to those who breathe freely only in limitless space; to those who long for the tender shade of a new dawn for a humanity free from the dread of want, the dread of starvation in the face of mountains of riches. The Earth free for the free individual!
