This isn’t the first time Wood has spoken out, recently he explained how Baltimore police started the Freddie Gray riots. 

In the words of my girl Nina: this man is not a hero. He sat by for years while this went on. However now we have official confirmation of everything we knew to be true, and the backlash he is receiving is further proof.

Shit I seen for myself

this man is not a hero. He sat by for years while this went on. 
this man is not a hero. He sat by for years while this went on. 
this man is not a hero. He sat by for years while this went on.
this man is not a hero. He sat by for years while this went on.

I was just wondering that myself. If he’s seeing this shit go on, why the fuck didn’t he do something?

Marriage licenses came about in the late 19th century to prevent mixed-race marriages. That should be appalling to anyone, and is in my opinion the strongest argument to privatize marriage.

The American colonies officially required marriages to be registered, but until the mid-19th century, state supreme courts routinely ruled that public cohabitation was sufficient evidence of a valid marriage. By the later part of that century, however, the United States began to nullify common-law marriages and exert more control over who was allowed to marry.

By the 1920s, 38 states prohibited whites from marrying blacks, “mulattos,” Japanese, Chinese, Indians, “Mongolians,” “Malays” or Filipinos.

At the heart of it all, predictably, is the urge to control the lives of others. White people might marry black people! Horror of horrors. Therefore, the state must get involved. No doubt these arguments in favor of more government meddling were made with an overlying patina of “freedom.” Just as the modern anti-immigration crowd today argues that we must destroy freedom in order to save it, the old racist proponents of government marriage likely argued that we must abolish freedom in marriage or the “Negro agitatuhs” and their dusky-skinned allies will destroy freedom. Conservative “logic” at its best.

A federal judge accused the U.S. government of a “lack of candor” and ordered it to return $167,000 that was seized from a man who was stopped for a minor traffic violation. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, a Nevada state trooper stopped Straughn Gorman’s motor home on In...

“When I was young there were beatniks. Hippies. Punks. Gangsters. Now you’re a hacktivist. Which I would probably be if I was 20. Shuttin’ down MasterCard. But there’s no look to that lifestyle! Besides just wearing a bad outfit with bad posture. Has WikiLeaks caused a look? No! I’m mad about that. If your kid comes out of the bedroom and says he just shut down the government, it seems to me he should at least have an outfit for that.”

It’s fairly rare that the aurora borealis is this visible in Duluth. Solar eruptions triggered a severe geomagnetic storm over the weekend, causing brilliant colors last night that kept photographers and sky gazers up into the morning. Gathered here are a few images from the PDD Facebook page and other social media.

I seriously wanna do a study on privilege and risk-taking behaviour because I have a theory that people with more privilege are less likely to think about consequences than are oppressed people, who are constantly bombarded by consequences, deserved or not.

Actually reblogging for that deep comment right there^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^ same.

^^ makes you think..

this is absolutely true. thrill-seeking behavior that can actually kill you is proof-positive that your life is so safe that you actually go looking for deadly situations. why do you think mostly white people do shit like free climbing, base jumping, camping in remote areas without fucking telling anyone where they are going, climbing fucking Everest, whatever the hell its called when you jump out of a helicopter and ski down some crazy ass mountain, starting fist fights with cops… EDIT: THIS QUOTE

“When you do not have any actual problems, you must create them. And a trend amongst white people as a whole is to create problems for themselves by engaging in risk taking behavior.

Whether it is poor, rural high school kids intentionally going drunk driving, middle class white kids inventing new ways to damage each other’s testicles, or rich white kids throwing Project X-style parties and spending their parents’ money on idiocy, white people absolutely love danger.

When someone dies in a tragic, freak accident and you find yourself wondering how that person became involved in the situation, it was most likely a white person. No one truly understand why white people enjoy risking their lives, but it seems to be a combination of a lack of problems, ownership of the entire world, and the resulting overwhelming boredom.”

Is this why literally all shows and movies about white people are about white people ruining their own lives

^^^^^^^LMFAO accurate

I needed to clear some moss from the backyard since its engulfing the patio and stone steps. It seemed sad to just throw it away, so I thought I’d try making a terrarium. I love the way it turned out!

It’s an outrage! It’s also got the only good excuse for displaying one. Here it is:

It’s a trophy. Minnesotans captured it in battle at Gettysburg. A few years ago, Virginians had the gall to ask for it back.

“The third day of Gettysburg, the 47 Minnesotans that survived the day before, rejoined the battle and that was the day that they captured the flag of the regiment of Virginia… which resides in the Minnesota Historical Society to this day,” Dayton said. “The governor of Virginia earlier this year requested that the flag be loaned, quote, unquote, to Virginia to commemorate — it doesn’t quite strike me as something they would want to commemorate, but we declined that invitation.”

“It was taken in a battle at the cost of the blood of all these Minnesotans,” Dayton continued. “And I think it would be a sacrilege to return it to them. It was something that was earned through the incredible courage and valor men who gave their lives and risked their lived to obtain it. And as far as I’m concerned, it’s a closed subject.”

Exactly right. It’s the loser’s flag; why you’d want to celebrate it is a mystery. But we’re happy to rub it in your nose, if you’d like.

A new billboard has popped up on Grand Avenue in West Duluth with fighting words issued from St. Paul. Duluth, many will recall, claimed the title of “Craft Beer Capital of Minnesota” back in February 2013.

According to an article by Duluth Mayor Don Ness in The Growler magazine, it’s official.

This morning over breakfast S. asked me why I looked so glum.

“Because,” I said, “everything that exists is born for no reason, carries on living through weakness, and dies by accident.”

“Jesus,” S. said. “Aren’t you ever off the clock?”

Theodor de Bry. The True Picture of a Woman Picte. 1588.  

A Pict woman, a member of an ancient Celtic people from Scotland, stands with a long spear held upright in her left hand, and two long spears held horizontally in her right hand. She wears only a large ring around her waist, from which a curved sword hangs behind her, and a smaller ring around her neck. Much of her body is painted or tattooed. 

“The women of the Picts above said were no worse for the wars than the men. And were painted after the manner following, having their heads bare, did let their hair flying about their shoulders, were painted with griffon heads, the low parts and thighs with lion faces, or some other beast as it comes best into their fancy. Their breast hath a manner of a half moon, with a great star, and four lesser in both the sides, their paps (nipples) painted in manner of beams of the Sun, and among all this a great lightning star upon their breasts. The saids of some points or beams, and the whole belly as a Sun, the arms, thighs, and legs well-painted, of diverse figures: They did also carry about their necks an iron ring, as the men did, and such a girdle with the great sword hanging, having a pick or a lance in one hand, and two darts in the other.”
