Everything in this universe happens due to complex chains of cause and effect, webs of causes and conditions. It is impossible to know all of these causes and conditions, and the causes and conditions behind them, and the causes and conditions behind them, etc. In reality, everything that happens has virtually infinite causes. 

When we understand this, we develop equanimity, a sense of acceptance and non-resistance. It’s not apathy. We act in whatever way is appropriate to the situation. But at the same time there is the knowing that events, including our actions, are all part of the flow of nature, the unfolding of causes and conditions. We learn to surf the waves instead of trying push them back. As we develop this awareness, progressively, the sense of resistance diminishes. Progressively, a deep sense of peace cumulatively grows that is independent of events.

Omar Khadr, a sixteen year old Guantanamo Bay detainee weeps uncontrollably, clutching at his face and hair as he calls out for his mother to save him from his torment. “Ya Ummi, Ya Ummi (Oh Mother, Oh Mother),” he wails repeatedly, hauntingly with each breath he takes.

The surveillance tapes, released by Khadr’s defence, show him left alone in an interrogation room for a “break” after he tried complaining to CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service) officers about his poor health due to insufficient medical attention. Ignoring his complaints and trying to get him to make false confessions, the officers get frustrated with the sixteen year old’s tears and tell him to get himself together by the time they come back from their break.

“You don’t care about me. Nobody cares about me,” he sobs to them.

The tapes show how the officers manipulated Khadr into thinking that they were helping him because they were also Canadian and how they taunted him with the prospect of home (Canada), (good) food, and familial reunion.

Khadr, a Canadian, was taken into US custody at the age of fifteen, tortured and refused medical attention because he wouldn’t attest to being a member of Al Qaeda, even though he was shot three times in the chest and had shrapnel embedded in his eyes and right shoulder. As a result, Khadr’s left eye is now permanently blind, the vision in his right eye is deteriorating, he develops severe pain in his right shoulder when the temperature drops, and he suffers from extreme nightmares.

He has been incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay since 2002, suffering extremely harsh interrogations and torture (methods), and is now 25 years old.

How can they justify shooting and imprisoning a CHILD

normalized psycopathic behavior at the national level.

This is seriously serial-killer level torturing shit. If a single person did this, capturing a teenage boy and keeping them locked up and treating them like this, we’d call them a serial killer, a predator, a sociopath. 

But when the government does it and has several individuals on a lot of levels making it happen, suddenly it’s okay. 

And this is why civil liberties matter.  This is why we need due process, in a transparent fashion.

If your first concern about Guantanamo and other detention sites is cost? FUCK YOU.

If your first concern about government power is that the TSA searches you? FUCK YOU.

No lawyers, no due process, no rights, no trials, no rule of law.  This doesn’t stop terrorism, this IS terrorism.

From A Series of Unfortunate Events DVD commentary track.

if you haven’t watched this film with the commentary then you are missing out, it’s hilarious. “Lemony Snicket” was completely unhappy with the film and wanted no real part of it and so in the commentary he just fucks about. Seriously, at one point he gets out an accordion and drowns out the director with his playing

Realize that anyone who tries to put you down about your appearance is assuming that it is your job to please them visually. Once you realize that it isn’t your job to be visually pleasing to anyone, ever, it becomes very hard for anyone to make you feel bad about yourself.

I’m just an average white girl but I LOVE rap music. It’s the only thing I listen to :)

Special snowflakes  (via blackguyandrew)

Just because I’m white and female doesn’t mean I can’t like rap music. It also means that I’m probably tougher than I look. So have your opinion or whatever, but don’t be a smart ass because I like something. Rap is literally all that I listen to except for Hollywood Undead. I smoke massive amounts of weed. I make my money hustling. Yes, I am an average white girl to most people, but I guarantee I’ve done more hood shit than the people who look at me weird for liking Young Jeezy.

try telling that to someone for whom “hood shit” is not “cool stuff that I emulate by listening to young jeezy yo”

Please do everyone on the internet a favor and shut your little “special snowflake” white ass up. You really think you’ve done more “hood shit” than people who “look at you weird for liking Young Jeezy”? Please explain to me what your definition of “hood shit” is. If you think it’s just smoking weed and “hustling” (I wanna see your definition for that too), then you’ve been listening to way too much rap music. I’m willing to put money on the fact that you’ve never stepped foot in a real motherfucking ghetto. You’re little bitch ass wouldn’t last a whole fucking day in my hood. I think it’s time for you to turn Jeezy off, put out the blunt, and go read a god damn book. Your racism is showing.

See that’s why I side-eye white folk who listen to people like Jeezy. Because *I* listen to Jeezy (a lot! bought his last album the DAY it dropped) and I KNOW I’m not doing “hood shit” or “hustling” (at least not in his sense of the word).

… it seems like if a person is white for the most part they’re incapable of listening to trap music (or any rap music really) WITHOUT perpetuating dehumanizing stereotypes. Because I can listen to it and know that I don’t literally have a life like that and *still* not be dehumanizing about it… I don’t know.
