Can we PLEASE remove the stigma for blue collar work in America?

“You don’t wanna be a garbage collector when you grow up, do you?”

$34,000 a year, no college needed?

God forbid you take an honest job $7,000 above Michigan’s average cost of living line.

“You don’t wanna be a ditch digger.”

Bitch, I was making $15 an hour, post tax, doing exactly that, the fuck is wrong with it? (Other than it was physically exhausting.)

We need to help America, as a whole, understand that college is not, and should not be he only option, and that there is NO SHAME in trade school or even getting a career right out of high school.

I, personally, know plumbers making $80,000+ a year. Better than most 4 year degree workers.

We need plumbers, janitors, truck-drivers, garbage collectors, machinists, to keep this nation running smoothly. And they deserve respect for what they do.

Miss me with your classist bullshit.

“You cannot demand services and then degrade those who provide those services.”

Not sure who said that it but it has always stuck with me because hell it is so true.

La Source des Femmes (2011)

[beshnav]

literally everything she said is historically accurate though

the concept of “hijab” existed long before Islam was founded. in pre islamic arabia and throughout the region, women regardless of religion would cover their hair and it was often a symbol of class (other than the concept of covering hair being cultural in christianity and judaism) 

women who were higher class and were from a wealthy family covered their hair to distinguish themselves from poorer classes

if wasn’t until after the founding of islam where covering hair was incorporated into muslim culture as “hijab”. there is no mention of hijab in the quran but there is a strong emphasis on modesty. there is however an explicit line in the quran directed towards men:

“

In Chapter 24 known as an-Nur (the Light), in verse 30, Allah commands Prophet Muhammad as follows:

قُلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ يَغُضُّوْا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَ يَحْفَظُوْا فُرُوْجَهُمْ, ذَلِكَ أَزْكَى لَهُمْ.

“Say to the believing men that: they should cast down their glances and guard their private parts (by being chaste). This is better for them.”

This is a command to Muslim men that they should not lustfully look at women (other than their own wives); and in order to prevent any possibility of temptation, they are required to cast their glances downwards. This is known as “hijab of the eyes”.

This is the most accurate thing i have seen by far. Colin Kaepernick has done so much, risked his perfect life, his careers to bring awareness and there are still people saying he’s not a really good player that’s why he is still unsigned.

He knew this was going to end up this way, he was ready for this challenge and i am sure he doesn’t regret. What happened to him just proves one more time that racists don’t tolerate black people,who are trying to fight for justice. And this gives me even more strength to fight harder.

Beyond Sexual Harassment, Lesser Known Scandals Could Cost The Murdochs A $14B Deal

For the Murdochs, who control Fox News as part of a larger media empire, getting rid of Bill O'Reilly is a move to regain full control of the European broadcasting giant Sky in a $14.6 billion deal.

In forcing out its top-rated star, Bill O'Reilly, the Fox News Channel sought to contain the damage inflicted by a spreading sexual harassment scandal less than a year after the network’s chairman was ousted in the face of similar accusations.

For Rupert Murdoch and his sons, who together control Fox News as part of a larger media empire, getting rid of O'Reilly is part of an effort to shore up its longstanding drive to regain full control of the European broadcasting giant Sky in a $14.6 billion deal. The broadcaster has a major presence in the U.K., Germany, Italy, Ireland and Austria.

And yet, there is a quieter scandal hiding in plain sight — rife with allegations of computer hacking, accusations of fraud, questions of political interference and payouts totaling more than $900 million - all which centered on a relatively anonymous Murdoch enterprise called News America Marketing.

Five-year-old Harley and her father, Dino, attended Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017 with one mission in mind: deliver the Death Star plans to as many Princess Leias as they could. Their final set of plans were delivered to the original princess, placed in front of the gown Carrie Fisher wore in A New Hope. The galaxy is now safer thanks to this little rebel! 

See the full photo album here.

Harley has also cosplayed as Rey, complete with a Millennium Falcon!

[bevcrushers]

I am the Bespin Leia in the third photo. This little girl was easily the high light of this wonderful weekend. She was so confident in the crowds and was quite determined to make sure the Death Star plans fell into the proper hands. Xoxo

[princess-slay-ya]

That’s amazing! Congrats on the awesome cosplay and thank goodness the Death Star plans were able to be safely delivered to you
