The world: According to me

I still can’t believe this happened.

_{I remember when I was doing Rent and I was too thin, and I was doing that on purpose because I’m dying, I’m a HIV+ drug addict.  I remember having to eat raw food and doing all this work to make sure I could stay thin…And I remember everyone asking when I was doing press for the movie, ‘What did you do to get so thin? You looked great’ and I’m like, ‘I look emaciated’…It’s a form of violence, in the way that we look at women and how we expect them to look and be– for what sake? Not health, not survival, not enjoyment of life, but just so you can look pretty.  I’m constantly telling girls all the time everything is airbrushed, everything is retouched to the point it’s never even asked.  None of us look like that. - Rosario Dawson}

#BlackWomenMatter (4/2/15): Far too often, I see responses to my post asking why our Black men only seem to be under attack by the police. The sad truth is that both our women and children face harassment and death from those sworn to “protect and serve.” This past weekend, Meagan Hockaday, a mother of three, was killed with in 20 seconds of the police arriving to her house on a domestic dispute call. Her children witnessed her death. Like Janisha Fonville earlier this year, police chose to shoot-to-kill rather than employ de-escalation tactics for a situation they receive extensive training to handle. Little to no answers have been provided at this point. Her death also comes in the wake of allegations that the police force who killed her gets tattoos to symbolize every shooting they’re involved in and life they’ve taken. Help raise the call for justice. Meagan Hockaday, we fight for you now too! #staywoke #farfromover

A nonprofit group is taking a novel approach to helping the homeless in San Francisco with a new bus that allows them to take a shower.

The former public transit bus has been outfitted with two full private bathrooms and offers hot showers, clean toilets, shampoo, soap and towels free of charge. The founder of the nonprofit Lava Mae mobile shower bus (Doniece Sandoval) said she wanted to return a sense of dignity to those living on the streets.

Footage you won’t see on the news:

Baltimore Police are tossing bricks and stones at student protesters. This video was taken before the looting began.
