British-Somali songwriter, feminist, and musician Marianne Joan Elliott-Said, also known by her stage name Poly Styrene, is most notably known for being the founder of punk rock band X-Ray Spex.

She was born in Bromley, London, and ran away from home at the age of 15 with just £3 in her pocket, hitchhiking from one music festival to another. This adventure ended when she stepped on a rusty nail while bathing in a stream and had to be treated for septicaemia.

After seeing the Sex Pistols performance at the Pier Pavillion Hastings on her 19th birthday she thought that anyone could do what they were doing and so decided to form her own Punk Rock band, putting an ad in the paper calling for 'young punx who want to stick it together', and that was the beginning of X-Ray Spex. She eventually became a passionate feminist and posted a blog dedicated to women's rights and defense of women.

She was described by Billboard as the "archetype for the modern-day feminist punk"; because she wore dental braces, stood against the typical sex object female of 1970's rock star, sported a gaudy Dayglo wardrobe, and was of mixed race. She was "one of the least conventional front-persons in rock history, male or female".

Needless to say, she was a total bad ass.

This explains why he's so dedicated to making a career in acting.

I wanna know who did his makeup so I can punch them in the face. 

His foundation is creasing and the fact that his eyebrows look like nothing but abandoned dreams just goes to show that someone was not on their A-game that day. 

The man already looks like a flamboyant praying mantis. Does have to look like an old on top of that?

That's not his foundation creasing, that's his face.

There's literally no way to make him look good, though. It's a physical impossibility.

seriously what is with this man's face

i feel really uncomfortable looking at it for longer than 5 seconds. especially when it's moving.

Watching his face move while he talks is like watching a big snake swallow a calf whole.

"

Matt Smith is done being The Doctor. Which means it is now time to introduce a female Doctor. This apparently upsets some of you […] I got a lot of folks saying that this was "PC tokenism." That it would just be marketing. Falsely trying to balance — well, who gives a shit. You know the drill. It's nonsense. Crap of the highest order […] You say, it's "tokenism." But tokenism isn't what you think it is [..] Tokenism is a dismissive, hand-wavey gesture. Tokenism is, "Here, happy now? We're eating bread, but you enjoy these crusts. HEY IT'S BETTER THAN NOTHING, SHADDAP." Making your titular character — in this case, making the Doctor a woman — isn't a token. It's a nuclear bomb.

If we can't give the role of a flesh-changing alien to a woman and instead relegate the actresses only to the "girl groupies," that's kinda fucked up, isn't it? What kind of message is that for the families who are watching the show? Not the adult geeks of Whovian fandom, but kids who dig the character and all its assorted fictions? And it's that last point that matters most for me; this is a show where kids are watching. Little boys. Little girls. Do we really want to say to little girls, "You can never be The Doctor? You are forever relegated to The Companion?" And do you really want that same message for boys? "You will always be The Doctor. Girls are forever your Companions." Fuck that noise. I want my son to grow up in a world where women can be real doctors and imaginary Time Lord Space Doctors.

"

- Chuck Wendig in "Why It's Time to Genderflip Doctor Who" which so brilliantly tears down the "PC Tokenism" argument and argues powerfully why representation,proper representation, matters. (via whovianfeminism)

Silly white people

thisisnotchina:

In the caribean and south america it is normal that all kinds of cultures are mixed and that eventhough we have different backgrounds, we come from the same place and we are proud. Why should white people ask my black ass how it is possible that I could speak to a chinese friend and for how long I've been studying chinese?
Our parents were born in the same country in South america, so if we don't want white people to listen to our conversation we talk in our native tongue… But that is not chinese, and our language doesn't even come near it. Talking about ' I only thought black people lived there' not knowing that their was a huge Chinese immigration in the 18th century

people often don't realize that the chinese diaspora is not just limited to north america or the UK. for example, the chinese community in peru is so significant that there's even a specific chinese-peruvian cuisine called chifa. one of my professors from college (whose own family came to america via costa rica) also did research on the chinese central america pageant. 

White folk can’t imagine the Chinese diaspora because they can’t understand how a population so large could assimilate into a culture rather attempting to destroy it by any means necessary.

liberal anarchism please stop 

Since anarchism is getting more media attention, I think we can just expect more of that.

that tag

please explain

is there an actual film coming out

The East.

"Writers Batmanglij and Marling spent two months in 2009 practicing freeganism and co-wrote a screenplay based on their experiences and drawing on thriller films."

This movie looks horrible. It was filmed in New Orleans and stars Ellen Page. Throughout the filming they paid punks on the street for their clothes, shopped at our infoshop covertly, and yet.. Didn't actually employ any punks or anarchists to wear their own clothes or sport their own radical paraphernalia  (fyi: most productions filming in New Orleans hire local actors and extras and support local economy, this film didn't.) The cast was almost entirely white, in spite of being filmed here.

To boot, while it carries a "complicated" love story dynamic, the main character is still a cop infiltrating anarchists. It portrays train hopping and radical culture in the US in a grotesquely inappropriate way, and ultimately portrays radical environmentalism and activism as futile extremism. It humanizes a cop, portraying her as complex and moral. All the while tokenizing radicals and applying the same tired hippy free love cliches to Anarchists as was stereotyped onto radicals of the 60's and 70's. Have I mentioned it's really white? This movie is really white.

Sensationalism is not what radicals in the US need, nor is it what the general public needs to see in relation to activists. Fight the urge to see this film and dont support it financially. Download it! Share it! Ignore it.

Dont let hollywood profiteering interfere with the natural development of radicalism in the US. Ugh. Ew.

One never needs a reason to reblog Leonard Nimoy singing The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.

Nope.

Well Hobbits are peace loving folks you know
Never in a hurry and they take things slow
They don't like to travel away from home
They just like to eat and be left alone

But one day Bilbo was asked to go
On a great adventure to the caves below
To help some Dwarves get back their gold
That was stolen by a dragon in the days of old

(Chorus)

This Image Should NOT Be Seen By the Whole World

This Image Should NOT Be Seen By the Whole World:

tanacetum-vulgare:

Why is Chief Raoni Metuktire of Brazil's Kayapó tribe crying? According to a popular meme, it is because he received devastating news about the Belo Monte hydroelectric dam…

The picture is not of Chief Raoni crying and grieving about the Belo Monte Dam. The picture is not a picture of grief at all. His tears were tears of joy after being reunited with a family member, behavior which is customary among the Kayapó. Chief Raoni is not a powerless man fighting an impossible battle. In the fight to protect the Amazon and its people, he is a leader who has been working with local, national and international communities since 1978, when he appeared in a documentary named Raoni on the deforestation of the Amazon. Since then, he has befriended Sting and the President of France, has written a memoir, has traveled around the world, has facebook, twitterand a website, and although he has not yet stopped the building of the dam he and those he has collaborated with have managed to delay, hold up and tie up the project with court battles, controversy and petitions for thirty-eight years. He has also managed to rally the support of 438,707 (and counting) people worldwide using an online petition.

I've seen this picture come up on my dash so many times with the heart wrenching story of his supposed grief. It always bugged me, and this article articulates exactly why. Here's what Chief Raoni has to say about it himself: 

"I did not cry because of the authorization for construction and the beginning of the work of Belo Monte. As long as I will live, I will continue to fight against this construction. I want to tell President Dilma, to Lula, to the President of FUNAI, to the President of IBAMA, to the Minister of Energy Lobão, that I am on my way to Brasilia and that I will take along all my warriors to fight against the Belo Monte. I will not stop.

It is President Dilma who will cry, not me. I wish to know who published this picture and spread this information. I would like to see this person. Instead of constructing the dam of Belo Monte, why is President Dilma not taking care of the bandits of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo and why does she not stop the destruction of the environment? Does she have no authority?

It has to stop. The President Dilma will have to kill me in front of the Palace of Planalto. Only then will you be able to build the dam of Belo Monte. As long as it has not happened, I will fight until the end. I am before the city council of Colider to show who I am : Raoni! And I will also demonstrate it in Brasilia."
