Joseph Beuys - I Like America and America Likes Me (1974)

“A master of compelling performance pieces, Beuys flew to New York, picked up by an ambulance, and, swathed in felt, was transported to a room in the Rene Block Gallery. The room was also occupied by a wild coyote, and for a period of 8 hours a day for the next three days, Beuys spent his time with the coyote in the small room, with little more than a felt blanket and a pile of straw.

While in the room, the artist engaged in symbolist gestures, such as striking a triangle and tossing his gloves to the coyote.

At the end of the three days, the coyote, who had become quite tolerant of Beuys, allowed a hug from the artist, who was transported back to the airport via ambulance. He never set foot on outside American soil nor saw anything of America other than the coyote and the inside of the gallery.”

Help us stop the Belo Monte Dam by signing the petition here

I have posted multiple times about what is happening to the indigenous people in Brazil. Not only are they being brutalized because of mass projects like the Belo Monte Dam, but foreign companies seeking resources like lumber have killed whole villages and displaced people in an obvious imperialist campaign for the sake of capital gain. 

Here is a list of relevant articles: 

• Unrest growing over Brazil’s native lands: report
• Loggers threaten Brazil Amazon residents: Amnesty
• ‘They’re killing us’: world’s most endangered tribe cries for help
• Vale plays down fears Amazon rail project will harm tribe
• Image of an Indigenous woman holding her child while trying to fend off riot police as they evict her tribe from their ancestral lands in Brazil

Sadly, it isn’t just Brazil involved in the continued exploitation of indigenous people:

• Bolivian government to consult with Amazon natives on controversial highway
• Police oust indigenous group in Colombia standoff
• New Amazon highway ‘would put Peru’s last lost tribes at risk’

No particular Islamic institution - legal, philosophical, or mystical - has an exclusive prerogative deciding who a Muslim is. It is Muslims themselves, in the plurality of their class, gender, and racialised identities - who are now (as they have always been) on a vastly variegated and open-ended highway making that decision for themselves - a decision between them and their creator, them and what they hold to be sacrosanct in their mind and hearts. Particularly disqualified to make that decision for masses of millions of Muslims are the byproducts of Muslim encounter with European colonialism, now ranging from the deeply invested ideological power mongering by Muslim Brotherhood, the Salafis, the Wahhabis, or their Shia clerical counterparts. Partaking equally in the exclusively juridical dimension of Islam, and violently dispensing with others, these ideologically driven enclaves of power have laid a false totalising claim on the entirety of Islam that needs to be categorically dismantled.

Whereas Asian women are seen as biologically disposed to being subservient, black women are presented as the very opposite. The idea that black women lack the traditional feminine quality of subservience is not something that porn invented; it has been around for some years and has at times found its way into governmental reports, most notably the Moynihan Report (1965), which blamed black poverty on black women’s emasculation of black men.’ As ridiculous as this is, black women in particular, and the black community in general, have paid a heavy price for the pathologizing of black women as unrestrained “bitches” steamrollering over black men. Now, in porn, these women get their comeuppance.

As they are in the rest of society, black women are unequally treated in the industry, often earning less than their white female counterparts for the same acts and scenes; very few black women actually become well known and are thus denied the added wealth that comes with having a name in the industry. In his book on the black porn industry, Lawrence Ross quotes the well-known black porn actor Lexington Steele as saying: “In a boy/girl scene, one girl one guy, no anal sex, the market dictates a minimum of $800 to $900 per scene for the girl…. Now a white girl will start at $800 and go up from there, but a black girl will have to start at $500, and then hit a ceiling of about $800. So the black girl hits a ceiling at the white girl’s minimum.

You know what I love about Jarritos? EVERYTHING

For those of you who don’t know, I’m sorry. Jarritos is a Mexican Soda, that’s FUCKING DELICIOUS. They have great branding, all their bottles have the same texture. They have 11 flavors, all of them are pretty good. But everyone has their own personal top 3, you’ll find that’s very true. They use Natural sugar, no high fructose sugar, they taste great. Did I mention they taste great? Like seriously, you want good soda? Mexican soda.
Mexican Pepsi? Mexican Pepsi is legit better than Pepsi made in America. I don’t drink Pepsi anymore but lemme tell you. Get the Mexican version if you can (Southwest in general of America texas - california should have mexican sodas) you’ll see.
YOU’LL SEE. 

^

This.

Mexican and Jamaican sodas! OH MAN! Best taste!

(Except Moxie. I <3 u Moxie)

The local drug store’s lunch counter carries these. They are like a hug from Jesus. 200 calorie hugs from jesus. But hugs from jesus none the less. I usually don’t like orange flavored stuff but the orange and red ones are good. Om nom nom

Pineapple Jarritos is the way, the truth & the light. Just saying.
