and the Iraqi people welcomed the Americans with flowers. I wanted to set a historical event to teach Bush a lesson from the Iraqis, telling him you lied, we did not welcome you with flowers, and instead we are saying goodbye with our shoes.”
Muntaza Al Zaidi, the Iraqi reporter who became known as the guy who threw a shoe at Bush and later ended up in jail for three years because of it.
This is glorious and even thought it doesn’t fit in the range of all the paranormal, I MUST share
It works like this: You tell Kitestring that you’re in a dangerous place or situation, and give it a time frame of when to check in on you. If you don’t reply back when it checks your status, it’ll alert your emergency contacts with a custom message you set up.
It doesn’t require you to touch anything (like bSafe) or shake your phone (like Nirbhaya) to send the distress signal. Kitestring is smarter, because it doesn’t need an action to alert people, it needs inaction.

Hundreds stage “face-sit in” outside parliament to protest new porn laws
It’s Facesitting Friday in Britain.
Hundreds of people practiced their most provocative positions in front of Parliament in London to protest the country’s new pornography law. Under the new regulations, porn produced in the country now prohibits performers from engaging in “inappropriate” sex acts like fisting, strangulation and even facesitting.
The new law has been criticized as an updated form of censorship and moral hand-wringing.
okay but what kind of liberal bullshit? like are these protestors supposed to be hailed or something? who gives a shit about pornography laws? pornography is one of the most harmful, exploitative, and brutal industries towards women and y’all are gonna be mad that they can’t strangle people on camera? are you fucking serious? have you not read the testimonials from women saying they couldn’t breathe on camera and nearly pass out from strangulation? fuck y’all

Stop telling women that we should find ourselves beautiful and that we should love ourselves when you are standing right there, judging us on how our knees look in short skirts and how prominent our boobs are in a sweater and how much makeup we are or are not wearing.
Instead of us working harder on “love your body” and “find your inner beauty”, the rest of the world should be working harder on “stop telling women their bodies are a shameful place to live but that if they’re strong enough, they will learn to embrace that shame.”
This is my body. It’s not “beautiful”. I don’t “love it”. I don’t have to. I don’t have to have any strong feelings about my body. And whatever feelings I do have are not somehow invalid if they’re not glowing reviews.
