Every night you dream that you talk to a genie, when you wake up you can't remember what you wished for. One morning you wake up with a giant crab pincer replacing your right arm. What do you do?
You run to the kitchen downstairs. Put your arm in boiling water and it shrivels. The genie appears and you faint, or was it before? You wake up in your bed again, reliving the cycle over and over. You are stuck in purgatory.
ššššššš! New spooky things now available at sarahgraley.com/shop ! (Also, please enjoy this spooky lilā throwback!)
āWhen I was 26, I went to Indonesia and the Philippines to do research for my first book, No Logo. I had a simple goal: to meet the workers making the clothes and electronics that my friends and I purchased. And I did. I spent evenings on concrete floors in squalid dorm rooms where teenage girlsāsweet and gigglyāspent their scarce nonworking hours. Eight or even 10 to a room. They told me stories about not being able to leave their machines to pee. About bosses who hit. About not having enough money to buy dried fish to go with their rice.
They knew they were being badly exploitedāthat the garments they were making were being sold for more than they would make in a month. One 17-year-old said to me: āWe make computers, but we donāt know how to use them.ā
So one thing I found slightly jarring was that some of these same workers wore clothing festooned with knockoff trademarks of the very multinationals that were responsible for these conditions: Disney characters or Nike check marks. At one point, I asked a local labor organizer about this. Wasnāt it strangeāa contradiction?
It took a very long time for him to understand the question. When he finally did, he looked at me like I was nuts. You see, for him and his colleagues, individual consumption wasnāt considered to be in the realm of politics at all. Power rested not in what you did as one person, but what you did as many people, as one part of a large, organized, and focused movement. For him, this meant organizing workers to go on strike for better conditions, and eventually it meant winning the right to unionize. What you ate for lunch or happened to be wearing was of absolutely no concern whatsoever.
This was striking to me, because it was the mirror opposite of my culture back home in Canada. Where I came from, you expressed your political beliefsāfirstly and very often lastlyāthrough personal lifestyle choices. By loudly proclaiming your vegetarianism. By shopping fair trade and local and boycotting big, evil brands.
These very different understandings of social change came up again and again a couple of years later, once my book came out. I would give talks about the need for international protections for the right to unionize. About the need to change our global trading system so it didnāt encourage a race to the bottom. And yet at the end of those talks, the first question from the audience was: āWhat kind of sneakers are OK to buy?ā āWhat brands are ethical?ā āWhere do you buy your clothes?ā āWhat can I do, as an individual, to change the world?ā
Fifteen years after I published No Logo, I still find myself facing very similar questions. These days, I give talks about how the same economic model that superpowered multinationals to seek out cheap labor in Indonesia and China also supercharged global greenhouse-gas emissions. And, invariably, the hand goes up: āTell me what I can do as an individual.ā Or maybe āas a business owner.ā
The hard truth is that the answer to the question āWhat can I, as an individual, do to stop climate change?ā is: nothing. You canāt do anything. In fact, the very idea that weāas atomized individuals, even lots of atomized individualsācould play a significant part in stabilizing the planetās climate system, or changing the global economy, is objectively nuts. We can only meet this tremendous challenge together. As part of a massive and organized global movement.
The irony is that people with relatively little power tend to understand this far better than those with a great deal more power. The workers I met in Indonesia and the Philippines knew all too well that governments and corporations did not value their voice or even their lives as individuals. And because of this, they were driven to act not only together, but to act on a rather large political canvas. To try to change the policies in factories that employ thousands of workers, or in export zones that employ tens of thousands. Or the labor laws in an entire country of millions. Their sense of individual powerlessness pushed them to be politically ambitious, to demand structural changes.
In contrast, here in wealthy countries, we are told how powerful we are as individuals all the time. As consumers. Even individual activists. And the result is that, despite our power and privilege, we often end up acting on canvases that are unnecessarily smallāthe canvas of our own lifestyle, or maybe our neighborhood or town. Meanwhile, we abandon the structural changesāthe policy and legal workā to others.ā
- Naomi Klein
This is why the media keeps pumping out articles about plastic straws and avocados that focuses on what we, individually, are doing to destroy the environment, when really the most pollution comes from multinational corporations and the only thing that will save us is global collective action.
I think about this quote all the time.
Powerpuff Girls was actually a show about a group of small children crushing the patriarchy and no one will convince me otherwise
Anyone who tries to convince you otherwise obviously wasnāt watching the same show.
reasons why i love this show so muchĀ
I love that the most tiny feminine delicate sweetheart of the three does the traditionaly masculine chores. Kinda makes me wanna see a teen Bubbles change a tire in a pretty dress and hair bow.
honestly i think my fav part of this gifset is the fact that those last two are probably supposed to be Their Chores but only Bubbles is doing them like that is peak sibling energy, flawless execution
Didnāt PPG have a villain that was specifically meant to mock feminists as man haters that use feminism to harm others?
They did and if you watch the whole episode you see the PPG get tricked into letting the villain committ crime out of female solidarity.
Then several women step in to talk to the PPG about how the villain is using feminism as a scapegoat to get away with toxic and criminal behavior. And how what the villain is doing isnt actually feminist at all.
Like that episode was very good about addressing toxic behaivor from people who are supposedly woke or whatever.
An episode a lot of Tumblr should watch given the rampant radfem and terf ideology that gets spread on here.
in conclusion
stan powerpuff girls for clear skin
Additionally: look at Bubbleās smile and pure joy when her sisters bring up her role. Thatās not a child whoās getting shunted with the sibling chores, thatās a child who decided one Sunday morningĀ āIām going to wash the car, it sounds fun!ā and no one has stopped her since.Ā

These dudes are fucking legit. Ā They donāt just show up one day in court, either, they actually make friends with the kids and let them know they have a support system and that there are people in the world who care about them and will always have their back. Ā And less important, but also cool, is that the few times a couple of them have come into my cafe, theyāve been super friendly and polite and when I told one of the guys that I noticed his Bikers Against Child Abuse patch and wanted him to know how awesome I thought he was because of it, he got kind of shy and blushed and said, āThe kids are the awesome ones, we just let them know theyāre allowed to be brave.ā
The source is long, but so, so good. These men and women are available in 36 states, 24 hours a day to stand guard at home, in court, at school, even if the child has a nightmare. Many of them are survivors of childhood abuse as well, and know what itās like to feel scared and alone.
In court that day, the judge asked the boy, āAre you afraid?ā No, the boy said.
Pipes says the judge seemed surprised, and asked, āWhy not?ā
The boy glanced at Pipes and the other bikers sitting in the front row, two more standing on each side of the courtroom door, and told the judge, āBecause my friends are scarier than he is.ā
Actual tears.. hnngh
Show me more of people like this, world. I give up on humans too easily.
where do i sign up for this,i want to be in this gang
This is fucking amazing. It may be out of character for me to say this but rock on
Bikers Against Child Abuse was founded in 1995 by a Native American child psychologist whose ride name is Chief, when he came across a young boy who had been subjected to extreme abuse and was too afraid to leave his house. He called the boy to reach out to him, but the only thing that seemed to interest the child was Chiefās bike. Soon, some 20 bikers went to the boyās neighborhood and were able to draw him out of his house for the first time in weeks.
Chiefās thesis was that a child who has been abused by an adult can benefit psychologically from the presence of even more intimidating adults that they know are on their side. āWhen we tell a child they donāt have to be afraid, they believe us,ā Arizona biker Pipes told azcentral.com. āWhen we tell them we will be there for them, they believe us.ā ( Article)
More about BACA, from their site
My parents are a part of this organization and they are metal af
They go on runs to protect the child if they feel even the slightest threatened no matter where. If the child needs them to go on vacation with them, they do. Bikers come from across the nation to watch over and take shifts for these kids. And the best part is once youāre adopted into this family as a BACA kid, youāre always one. Even when youāre 40 and the perp gets released from jail, theyāll come meet with you and find your best options for avoiding the person and maintaining the life youāve built for yourself. Once a BACA child, always a BACA child. In Florida, thereās 100% rate for identifying the perp based on the childās testimony. Why? Because BACA stands with the child and supports the child so they feel comfortable enough to point out their attacker.
Whatās better than a badass biker gang being on your side???
NATIVE AMERICAN CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST WHO IS A BIKER AND NAMED HIMSELF CHIEF HELL YES IāM HERE FOR THAT AND BIKERS BEING BAD ASS TO PROTECT KIDS. HELL YEAH.
itās back! I will always reblog BACA
Damn good people.
I know they wouldnāt consider themselves such, but these people are freaking heroes and the world is a better place because of them.Ā
Hey folks, it talks about this in the article but its not mentioned in this post, BACA is a 501 Ā© (3) charity that depends in part on donations to help pay for stuff like gas for their bikes. If you want to help, consider donating.Ā
@copperbadge You like posting about heroes, Sam. Seems like this would be up your alley.
I love these folks! Iāve reblogged them before but itās wonderful to see the donation information has been added.Ā
Always reblog. Keep doing what youāre doing y'all.
Guys? This post changed my life. I saw this post. Forever ago. And thought it was only in america⦠and wished desperately that they could help me. But then I saw it again, during a bad episode, and checked their site. They arenāt just in the USA
Theyāre in Canada as well and probably other countries. I met and talked with a native guy who runs the place near me. His name is Shaman. I got in, and Iām considered a BACA child now. Despite being 17, turning 18 when I talked to them. They spent time with me when my abuser was over, they gave me therapy resources. They give you something called aĀ ālevel 1ā² where they go to your house with as many bikers as they can, i shit you not a solid 20-40 bikers came from even out of province, and met me. I got to choose my biker name and I got a vest with patches on it and my name on it. They all hugged a Teddybear before giving it to me, and told me if I ever felt the BACA bear was running out of love, to give them a call and theyād refill it for me, and then I got a ride on one of their bikes. Just a day or so ago I went to an annual party with them and they we ate food one of them cooked and had a lot of laughs.Ā
Iāve never felt as loved as I did being a part of the BACA family. They also gave me dog tags with the names, and phone numbers of my 2 workers.Ā So I can call them whenever I feel scared.Ā
BACA is an absolutely wonderful group that will do everything in itās power to help any child whos been abused.Ā
And it doesnāt end when youāre 18 either. As long as you get in contact/get your level 1 before youāre 18? youāre ALWAYS a BACA kid. Iām 18 now and they still invite me to parties, ask me if Iām okay, and are there for me. Theyāre still trying to find me resources for therapy.Ā
BACA has changed my fucking life.Ā
I hope you all can read this, and reblog it knowing from someone who fucking been with them, that they are absolutely amazing.Ā
If I ever donāt reblog this, itās because I am physically being restrained against my will.
Supporting your local heroās.
FUCKEN AMAZING what these Bikers do!!!! This is why I donāt give up on humanityā¦

The Nib Interview: Dr. Carl Hart
From Sarah Mirk and Daniel IrizarriĀ in our DRUGS issue.
I used to have geese so hereās a tip for everyone:
If a goose is attacking you, donāt run. No matter what, stand your ground. They can fly but when theyāre mad, they donāt usually try to fly. Hold your hands in front of you, ready to grasp. When the goose gets close, grab it by the neck bit closest to the head and squeeze. Not tight enough to choke the goose, but tight enough so they canāt break free. You can hold them until they calm down or just do the next step right away. The next step is literally just to chuck them as far as possible and run for your life. It makes the goose know youāre in charge and you have a better chance of getting away. Trust me Iāve done this so many times that Iāve lost count
I canāt tell if this is a shitpost or actual advice. But I do know geese are the fucking worst.
Actual advice! Just yeet a goose
Yeet the geese
Iāve been reading the replies to this so hereās an update!
DO NOT KICK A GOOSE. Geese are very important for nature as they maintain insect populations and they help pick weeds that try to kill useful plants! Geese are good, theyāre just grumpy. Never kick one because you could fatally injure them. They do not have the bone structure to survive a strong kick.
I had to deal with this a lot because my family bred geese. Geese are not happy about their eggs being taken so after you take one, they remember for their whole lives. We had a farm, we did what we had to do in order to survive. We loved our geese and our geese loved us, just not when we were taking their babies.
Do not kill Geese just because theyāre mean. Please
Yes you could crawl towards them, but that only works if itās one goose. If itās more than one attacking you, you can yeet them as they get close.
This post was about white geese, which is what we bred, but you can do this for Canadian geese too! Because attacking a Canadian goose can get you a fine and even jail time, this is a much nicer approach to being attacked by a goose.
Also for some reason a lot of replies are saying this can break a gooseās neck???? It canāt??? Donāt spread lies. Geese are built to be picked up by the neck and they have tons of muscles in their necks to support being thrown. This is how they fight each other. It doesnāt hurt them. Just stuns them.
DO NOT DO THIS TO SWANS!!!!!!! SWANS ARE EVIL IF YOU ARE BEING ATTACKED BY A SWAN JUST ACCEPT YOUR DEATH. THEY WILL NOT BE STUNNED. THEY WILL NOT FORGET. THEY WILL FOLLOW YOU HOME AND MURDER YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. SWANS ARE DEMONS
Actually, I have picked up a swan by just, slotting in under my arm; once their wings are held in place they just sorta hiss a bit and accept their fate. Itās how wildlife centres and rspca deal with them. They just use swan-bags, IāM NOT kidding, that completely neutralizes them. LOOK AT ALL THESE DEMONIC BULLIES BEING DEFEATED BY BEING CHIHUAHUA-HANDBBAGGED.
In fairness, in MY CASE, this was a juvenile male, but old enough that the dad had evicted it from the lake. He was in my way, hissing and refusing to move; and if you hiss at me, thatās a challenge, baby!
Most birds will accept their date once you have their wings (geese will, in my experience, chill once you have them under an arm too, I pick them up like that). They transport peafowl in sacks like that too:
This post is a journey
bird straitjackets
I would say release them but geese and swans are mean as fuck
