Oppressed people do not and should not have to explain their oppression to their oppressor, nor tailor their resistance to the comfort of the oppressors and their supporters.

See the materialism of this world for what it is.. it’s just a rest stop, just some shade, on the Highway to the Hereafter, Remember to treat is as such.  May Allah guide us the straight path!

This mentality, of treating our one life here on this planet as though it's some sort of transit stop, is rather dangerous imo.

Make the most of your life. Live it like it's all you've got.

Seriously, it is driving me up the wall!  The majority of Tumblrs have only one issue they care about and as long as that issue is resolved in their favor, they’re okay with everything else that’s spiraling out of control.

From what I’ve seen on Twitter, there is not that much talk on the whitewashing of Oberyn Martell. 

And it kind of makes me want to spam the GOT’s and HBO official Twitter accounts with tweets about this - with a tag specifically dedicated to this (like the one there already is on Tumblr called #themartellsarenotwhite or House Martell’s sigil reworded by some as #unbleachedunbentunbroken. I’ll just go with what most people - between the two tags - will choose. It’d be nice, in case you reblog this, if you could specify which tag would you prefer so I can have an idea). 

I just think that speaking about this only on Tumblr won’t bring enough attention and definitely won’t make HBO pay attention. It might be too late for the casting of Oberyn Martell but, you can call me deluded, I still have a little hope for the other members of House Martell and the Sand Snakes.

The least we can do is flood them with messages about how we are really disappointed with Oberyn Martell’s casting. It’s not like the message wouldn’t have reached them if it actually works (and it will personally make me feel better). 

For those who are interested in making their qualms heard in other ways too, you can also email HBO here. 

Please reblog and spread the word.

June 7th, 1942: Edward Hopper completes his best known painting, the seminal Nighthawks. When asked by a Chicago Tribute reporter about the philosophical meaning behind the diner having no clearly visible exits Hopper responded, “Shit. Fuck. I did it again. Goddamnit. Fuck. Not again. I did it again. Shit." and slammed his hat on his leg.

A pastor in Seoul, South Korea has created a “baby box” for people so that people who would otherwise abandon or kill their newborns can leave them somewhere safe instead. The box has a light, a towel lining, and a bell rings as soon as a baby is placed in it so the pastor, his wife, or one of his staff can come and get it right away.

Lee Jong-rak started the box in 2009, and has welcomed all babies, often disabled or the children of single mothers, that have been placed in the box since. The babies are given a loving home, food, and shelter in his orphanage. Currently, an average of 17-18 babies are placed in the box every month. 

One mother who had considered poisoning her baby before she heard about the Baby Box left her baby in the box with a letter pinned to his clothing that read: 

‘My baby! Mom is so sorry. I am so sorry to make this decision. My son! I hope you to meet great parents, And I am very very sorry. I don’t deserve to say a word. sorry, sorry, and I love you my son. Mom loves you more than anything else. I leave you here because I don’t know who your father is. I used to think about something bad but I guess this box is safer for you. That’s why I decided to leave you here. My son, Please forgive me.’ - ‘A single mother’s tearful letter’

Lee Jong-rak is the subject of a documentary called “The Drop Box”, which I haven’t seen - but I can recommend this 13 minute Dateline video. You can find the Facebook page for the BabyBox here.
