peta objectification

''I, like many vegans/animal rights-ists, often find myself rather unimpressed with many of the activities of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. One of the main claims urged against PETA is their numerous sexual images of women which constitute ‘objectification’, which is bad..

Female humans are not killed on the same scale as chickens. But the fact that so many of them experience sexual violence, the fact that historically most sex has been non-consensual (since marriage was seen as making consent irrelevant),constitute a no less serious crisis.

If we can recognise objectification of chickens as a component of the complex of ideas which support ongoing violence against them, then we should recognise that same taint in objectification of women. Organisations which try to oppose one system should not do so by participating in the other''

that which is what i want which is that i want it.

maybe i am a masochist. maybe i like pain, maybe that’s what keeps me going with everything..getting the FIX. because i can’t understand why else i would attempt to learn a language as excruciatingly difficult as icelandic. it’s like everything is spoken in metaphors, i can never get just a straight translation of something. for instance, if i want to say ”stop sticking your tongue out at me asshole” it would translate into something like ”stop pointing that which is the slimy body part in the mouth which is yours and tastes” or something..

i just want to speak it fluently NOW. no more ”learning” and..”effort”. i wish i had some kind of hard drive for a brain with a ubs cord on the back of my neck and i can just buy an icelandic program which just needs to be downloaded into my system. like the matrix or something. i want that.

but on the lighter side.. as difficult as it is, i am getting somewhere. i’m able to form bad sentences, and talk to my mother in law like a two year old. usually when i get frustrated i just say to myself ”c’mon!!..it’s not like it’s chinese.”

because its not..soo..

lil weezy and his GQ interview

* Weezie: I always tell somebody that’s why I am good, that’s why I’m okay, because I’m being me, I’m doing me. Now the day I gotta write stuff down—no one can believe what’s written down. Perfect example: If I was a bum and I told you I had a mansion around the corner and three Bentleys and twenty-eight bitches in my house butt naked waiting for me, you wouldn’t believe me. I’d say you stink, say Get out my face, give him $100, and say Get the fuck.

But if there was a book that said, there was this bum with a mansion with twenty bitches in it, you’ll try to use it and put it toward real life. That’s why I don’t write nothing down. That’s why I don’t believe the Bible, nothing that’s written, because nothing that’s written is to be believed.

* Terry Richardson: So you don't believe in books?

* Weezie: Well. There is one I read and get information from. The damn dictionary. Yeah, when we be in the studio fussing over a word—no, it don’t mean that it mean this! Go to the Internet, Google that shit. That’s like a normal thing to do around here. Dictionary comes up as one of those little things on my computer.

..and he makes millions of dollars.

”At work, when I crack open a fresh box of mackerel, spread it onto a piece of rye-crisp bread, close my eyes and enjoy the distinctive fishy tomato flavor, I take a mental trip back to a sunny summers’ day in my grandparents’ paradise garden, as I used to call it, and long for Norway.”

-Eygló Svala Arnarsdóttir, Iceland Review

no you don’t! this is why i hate the icelandic review publication, their articles are loaded with nothing but poetic crap. trust me, when i'm in the mood, i find my sources. but whenever you want to know about news happening in iceland (in english) and hear real stories i get this sugar coated unrealistic garbage. who give’s a fuck about your ”grandparent’s paradise garden” and by the way, i don’t even know what the fuck that is. and do you really ”close your eyes and take a mental trip back to norway” whenver you eat a fish on a cracker? give me a break eygló.

''Fewer than 10 percent of the 1.3 million legally blind people in the United States read Braille, and just 10 percent of blind children are learning it, according to a report to be released Thursday by the National Federation of the Blind.

By comparison, at the height of its use in the 1950s, more than half the nation’s blind children were learning Braille. Today Braille is considered by many to be too difficult, too outdated, a last resort.”
