…up to 200,000 people angry with high costs and poor public services took to the streets. Protesters in Rio de Janeiro burned cars and looted buildings as police attempted to disperse them with teargas and rubber bullets. Aerial images showed thousands of people attempting to storm the congress building in Brasilia. The rallies…are some of the biggest ever seen in the country…

It’s not meant to be sad, just aware of how to be self-critical; not blaming others/your environment.

Quote 19 Jun 2,569 notes
People hate her, they really do. Did you know that to Yoko someone is a verb in America? It is something that boys say if they’re hanging out with you too much and they’re going to school or they have a band. It’s almost a myth that’s used to suppress women. Y’know, ‘You’re gonna Yoko me. You’re gonna destroy me.’ And this woman put up with racial inequality from Fleet Street, she put up with being accused of breaking up the best band in the world, she put up with people’s idea that she castrated this man and then, worst of all, she had her best friend, her husband, the person she lived for, die in her arms in front of a fortress that she’d hidden herself in for 20 years. And I just feel that the world media should apologize to her because she handled it with so much dignity.

Quote 18 Jun 5 notes
I want to emphasize the tactile and contagious quality of cinema as something we viewers brush up against like another body. The words contact, contingent, andcontagion all share the Latin root contingere, “to have contact with; pollute, befall.” The contingent and contagious circumstances of intercultural cinema events effect a transformation in its audience. As hybrids, the works challenge the separateness of cultures and make visible the colonial and racist power relations that seek to maintain this separation. The works pollute viewers’ ideas of cultural distinction, implicating each of us in them. In addition, as well as bearing meanings to the audience, these works receive impressions from the people who have seen them. Intercultural cinema builds up these impressions like a palimpsest and passes them on to other audiences. The very circulation of a film among different viewers is like a series of skin contacts that leave mutual traces.

fashinpirate:

  1. No matter how shitty you feel, you are at your best when you’re fighting.
  2. Take the place of your own heroes, it’s okay and they would be proud (video: be your own hero).
  3. Don’t get hung up on past heroes, they are gone, remember them for their complexities, their successes,and their fuckups. Nobody is infallible. Martyrdom is not something to aspire to.
  4. You’ll always have critics but if you listen to them, they’ll have you.
  5. However, there is no shame in learning from your mistakes. It’s beautiful to grow up and to grow old.
  6. Don’t waste time with friends you don’t love.
  7. Don’t fuck with fame vampires.
  8. Read more than you drink.
  9. Write more than you smoke. (You’re not an artist if all you do is smoke weed and reblog poetry, you’re just a person who smokes weed and reblogs poetry.)
  10. Don’t sabotage yourself. There are plenty of people who are happy to do that for you.
  11. You don’t owe shit to people who don’t make you feel loved.
  12. Your friends will carry you home and if they don’t, find new friends.
  13. Do not fuck with dream killers.
  14. You were probably right the first time.
  15. Congratulate yourself for surviving regularly. You can still stare into space and say “I’m still here.” and that should be applauded.
  16. Don’t apologize for protecting yourself.
  17. Be serious about your pursuits, but there is always some time to also watch Shiba Inu videos and eat chili at 3AM.
  18. Tell the people you love you love them regularly. You know you’re alive some nights because they love you. That love is the lifeboat in water that drowns.
  19. Breathe in and out and scream if you want to. Crying is ok too. You don’t need permission and emotions don’t make you weak.
  20. You’ll be fine.
