    Transgender woman arrested for wearing sheer top, jailed with men. →

    I just.

    You arrest her because her top is too sheer and shows her nipples, something that is only a crime for women.

    And then you jail her as a man.

    Fucking fuck.

    it’s almost like there is a matrix of power relations that will insist on punishing her no matter what.

    but that can’t be.

    Indigenous people of Brazil trying to prevent their eviction from an old indigenous museum which they have been living in for the past 7 years.

    On March 22nd all of the inhabitants and their supporters were forcibly removed or arrested.

    The building is being destroyed to make a parking lot :(

    …for the Olympics

    Seriously, why isn’t this all over my dash?

    This is definitely more important than having another picture of Jennifer Lawrence

    What the fuck is wrong with this world.

 Golden Tortoise Beetle. In spring and summer, the beetles earn their name when they turn the colour of brilliant liquid gold. But capture one and the gold vanishes and the beetle becomes dirt brown. Here’s why: the colour is produced by an optical illusion; the outer cuticle is transparent and reflects light through a layer of liquid over the next layer of cuticle. The beetles change colour depending on the availability of the liquid layer. In the fall and winter, the beetles become less lustrous and are more orange and bronze with flashes of iridescent colour. If you try and collect the beetle for an insect collection, the beetle soon turns dark brown as is dries, loosing the golden colour.

    Fuck el que diran. If im not harming anybody, I do what I want. Your respectability, white loving politics will not be binding me anytime soon.
    If its one thing ive noted, its that for dominicans, upperclassdom, what you strive to pass for, is also about whiteifying culturally, discarding the…

    This is obviously not my (white) experience to share. But the more I travel the more my eyes are opened to the absolute truth in everything that this girl is saying. She deserves shares and support because she’s speaking the silenced truth. LISTEN UP BITCHES. We’re all accountable.

    If you can look at this and say the media is not controlled by people who want to keep you docile and ignorant, I don’t know what else to tell you.

    Interesting that it was my fate to be born here in Warville Stupidtown.
