Notes"Let’s talk about rape for a moment. Rape is not what George Lucas did to your childhood. Rape is not what happens when a sports team beats another sports team by a wide margin. Rape is not what happens when your electric bill is higher this month than it was last month. Rape is when a person violates another person in the most despicable, degrading way imaginable and among the myriad of terrible things humans can do to one another, rape is among the worst. I think the casual misappropriation of the concept of rape extending all the way to its widespread comical usage is disgusting even by Internet standards."Jeffrey Rowland (via delucazade)

Notes"What counts as activism? Why didn’t the kind of emotional self-care me and my girls were doing—talking to each other about all the fucked-up shit we were going through as brown girls—count? Why didn’t my best friend driving her elderly East African mother to the doctor and renegotiating her way through the layers of the racist, sexist, condescending bullshit medical system count as activism? Did staying alive count as activism? Did re-learning Tamil, one of my Sri Lankan family’s languages, count? Did cooking good Sri Lankan food and learning how to cook those recipes I didn’t have female family members around to teach me count? As a South Asian femme immigrant who was having a shitty week, did shopping at the MAC counter and finding the perfect shade of fuchsia lip gloss for my milk-tea skin count?"Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, “A Time to Hole Up And a Time to Kick Ass” in We Don’t Need Another Wave (via kru-pa)

Notes BBC Video Tibetans set themselves alight in protestsBBC’s Beijing correspondent did an excellent piece on Tibet. It was aired on the BBC 10 o’clock news yesterday.
It is currently the third most watched video on BBC website – it would be great if we could get it up to first place – as that will bring lots of people who do not know what is happening inside Tibet to the issue. If you haven’t already seen it pls do watch and share.

I really didn’t know what to write here
I have redrafted this first line about 12 times now, I guess writing this is hard because I’m not 100% sure about what I will be posting on here. However I do know it wont be pictures of my friends and I pulling faces, in our cool clothes- I’ll leave that to Mugabe. At the moment I have a sickly interest in London gang culture, Asian politics and sourcing unique beads and buttons; I am basically a 20 year old alien living in London. Welcome to the world through my eyes!!!
