“I am not Mike Brown. I am white. I am middle class. I am female. I am small. I am not considered a threat. When police see me they see someone who looks like them. They see their mothers, their daughters, their sisters, themselves. I am not at risk of being shot by police for existing while black. I am not at risk of being shot while unarmed. I am not at risk of being shot while armed with nothing more than a BB gun. I am not at risk of being shot for reaching for my wallet. I am privileged.
But I am outraged. And if you aren’t outraged, then you aren’t paying attention. This is America in 2014. This is our reality. It’s so easy to get jaded and to ignore these atrocities, to act like this doesn’t affect us. It’s so easy to get apathetic. In the past it was the youth who protested. Where is the rage of the youth? Where is our rage?
Like I said, I am not Mike Brown. But I am outraged.”

I wrote this the week after Mike Brown was shot. I naively thought that this case would be different. That Darren Wilson would be punished, at the very least fired or pressured to resign. I thought that public outcry would mean something. I have never been more angry. I have never been more outraged. I wish I could say I were surprised.

Hey guys I need your help spreading this on social media so our people in Ferguson can defend themselves from attacks from the police.
This is important to add. When constructing this make sure the elastic to secure the bottle to the top of your head does not puncture the plastic or if it does the rubber needs to cover it. Also, make sure you keep it tight to your head as the gas only needs a small cap and tear gas can irritate greatly in small concentrations. (it can be flammable in high concentrations.) I would recommend diving goggles for your eyes as well as doing your best to ensure the bottle fits tightly against your forehead, jaw, cheeks, and chin. Also if you can make sure the elastic can be tightened and loosened, this will help with sealing out the tear gas.
Ahh, still more classics in our archive! Good memories of this one! *sets free into the wind*

To High School Students Wanting to Sit for Pledge: -
Back when I was in high school, I sat for the pledge to protest the Iraq War. This was in 2002-2003 when people were hyper-patriotic and nationalistic, slightly more than you see today (though still maddening today).
Anyway, I got sent to the principle’s office and so on and…

There’s no such thing as being “neutral” in this situation. If you are not absolutely livid, you are part of the problem.

WHY WASNT THIS NATIONAL NEWS?!
This made Atlanta news because it happened not far from where I live. It was only a few months after Sandy Hook and I just remember crying from relief when I heard about this woman and how she managed to prevent another tragedy through compassion and empathy.
Pure love. That’s what’s gonna save the world
