Sunday Snippets: Yay Halloween!

The hubs and I went as mechanics. We also dressed up our fuzzy children. They were not as happy as I was.




Yup, there it is

Whoa

The Illusion of Simplicity

Just hope the organization store doesn’t decide to redesign their containers — you’ll have to start all over again with new ones if you want everything to match.

This isn’t the kind of possibility I was hoping for.

This isn’t freedom from stuff, this is hoarding disguised as simplicity.

Facts that I didn't know

Such a classic

This actually does make a lot of sense

Let’s be honest. What he really wanted to say was “She was asking for it”.

An off-duty cop shot my brother inside a hospital. I want to know why.

Not Okay

Women can’t have it all – because the game is rigged

When commentators speak of women's 'work-life balance', they're not talking about how much time a woman will have, at the end of the day, to work on her memoirs, or travel the world. ‘Life', for women, is simply another word for work, a route-march through child-rearing and domestic labour which is assumed to be the ultimate destination of every woman’s passions. 'Life', for men, is meant to be bigger than that.

Canada, looking good

This is horrifying

You will be surprised to learn that our friend Larry has also argued that “Biblically speaking, there is no such thing as ‘marital rape.’” In a post titled “Christian Husbands — You don’t pay for the milk when you own the cow!” Solomon insists a wife’s “body does belong to her husband,” and that any requests for sex deferral should be made “humbly and gently.” After all, “sex is not about being in the mood, and it is not about feelings, it is about doing what is right.”

Sunday Snippets: Happy Holidays

I hope you get to spend time with the people you love over the coming days.

Horrifying (TW)

Amazing

Indeed, publicity surrounding Ali’s case is said to have inspired efforts to annul other child marriages, including that of an 8 year old Saudi girl who was allowed to divorce a middle-aged man in 2009.



What the hell That poor woman

After police shot and killed 22-year-old John Crawford in August for picking up a legal BB gun in a Walmart store in Beavercreek, Ohio, police detective Rodney Curd interrogated Crawford’s girlfriend Tasha Thomas for 90 minutes, suggesting she may have helped him take a gun into the store, even though Crawford had no gun. Detective Curd didn’t tell Thomas that her boyfriend Crawford was dead until the end of the interrogation, the Guardian reported. A grand jury decided in September not to indict the officers who killed Crawford.



Black women have always been at the forefront of social movements and shown loyalty to Black men throughout all our struggles—risking arrest, physical assault, and the emotional and psychological stress that often accompanies being engaged in social movements. However, we may be building movements to prevent further state-sanctioned murders of Black men, but we are not discussing the factors that led to Oklahoma police officer Daniel Holtzclaw allegedly assaulting several Blackwomen while on duty. We have not marched through the streets for Rekia Boyd, Aisha Stanley-Jones, Renisha McBride, and Islan Nettles the way we have for Trayvon Martin, Sean Bell, Oscar Grant, Mike Brown, Eric Garner, and other Black men and boys who have met the same fate.

Heartwarming news

Making my stomach turn

Something a lot forget

This is why I don’t tolerate even the most innocent Native American jokes from my white acquaintances. No one can be allowed to forget that this is still going on, right now, in our time. The genocide and ethnocide of indigenous American peoples, and of indigenous peoples around the world, continues as I’m typing.

Change the police. Make the police accountable. Hold the “balance of power” in check. Change policies. Educate civilians. Expose the truth. Make change.
