“Smash, Smash, SmAAaash!!!”
Those words made “Kai the hatchet-wielding hitchhiker a viral sensation. That was his description of how he swung a blow for justice in Fresno to stop a large driver who allegedly ran over and attacked a PG&E employee.
Now those words could come back to haunt him. New Jersey prosecutors say Kai, 24, a.k.a. Caleb Lawrence McGillvary, is wanted...

it’s funny that we’re a generation known for being obnoxiously ironic while the previous generation wants to only be known for their positive impacts on the world and push all of their mistakes and problems onto us while calling us lazy and selfish.

le-kif-kif:
In the 1960s and 1970s, queer liberation (what we now call “LGBT equality”) was seen by its advocates as an all-inclusive movement intrinsically bound to other social justice movements: there could be no justice for queer people without justice for people of color, women, workers, those in other nations, etc. Accordingly, queer activists worked hard to build coalitions with all...

I have a little less bad news than usual to report!
My dad is still doing about as well as he can be right now. He had a doctor’s appointment a few days ago, and he reported the same thing about his cancer. It’s still present and spreading, and it’s not treatable. It’s been hard as usual. However, we’ve had a lot of support lately; it’s been really great despite the situation.

– Florida Teen Tried With Felony For Trying Science
A beautiful rant about misguided public science education and how the fear of punishment kills curiosity, especially for minorities because they tend to receive harsher punishments, and for the poor because punishments end up being harsher on them...
or maybe I just think that because I’ve seen what work is like and school is something I’ve never really experienced the way I wanted
maybe I belong in academia. Maybe I’m supposed to be happy writing papers and doing research

Or it introduces you to people globally?
sure. I like that. But I’ve also come to know people who live 30 minutes away from me.
I can guarantee you that at least 75% of US citizens have no idea who Assata Shakur is. And that’s a conservative estimate.

I don’t think there’s anything WRONG with using tumblr. I especially don’t think there’s anything wrong with the confessory nature of blogging. There was an article published recently by the verge (mediocre tech site, but beside the point) from a contributor who had spent the past year away from the internet. And, contrary to popular belief, after the novelty of shrugging...
there’s something about tumblr that attracts the kind of people I find interesting. 85% of the people who I meet every day have a view of life that bores me and leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. Am I bad at communicating with people in person? I don’t think so. I’m certainly not terrible at it. Maybe tumblr compels you to reveal parts of yourself that you’d regularly...

the closest thing I’ve had to an “interesting conversation” was with my supervisor (handsome, charming, by my own admission ((womanizer?)) white dude) during which he told me that he had read the communist manifesto and that he wanted to read capital, after which all of the good will engendered by that conversation was wiped out when he told me about his bike trip across the US....
why do I have to come here to have an intellectually stimulating conversation. Why the fuck is that

I’d like to quote Joaquin Phoenix by saying “I’m still here”
I’m a very forward person, in my personal relations. I’m excessively reserved, but forward. If that makes any sense.

Oh yeah, of course. You haven’t changed anything about your profile. Maybe it’s because I’m not in school yet but I’ve gotten very, very tired of having no one to talk to about academic shit. I...
