Man Stuff

Just a regular dude doing regular dude things. I work, smoke a pipe occasionally, wear a kilt regularly, and drive a pretty sweet car.

Really cool edit of Connie from Steven Universe! I love how they diversify the show and add women to the cast! Very forward thinking!

I donated blood for the first time today. It was an interesting experience even if not entirely pleasant. This laat year my eyes have really been opened as to how valuable acts of kindness are. No I'm not trying to buy my way into heaven, my way was bought for me already with a price I could never pay, but I do want to do good for humanity with my time on earth. If my act of being stuck with a needle and a little tired the rest of the day can save a life, then it was worth it. Remember, it's not about me. Do good.

"The Nazis didn’t just kill the Jews; they made use of every inch of them. Women’s hair was shaved off and weaved into blankets for Nazi soldiers. Fat from Jews’ bodies was used to make soap. Gold teeth were pulled out to make gold bars for the Reichsbank. 384,000 pairs of men’s shoes were sent to Germany from Auschwitz. 646,000 men’s suits. 184,000 pairs of eyeglasses. The most frightening thing is not the gas chambers or the crematoria. It’s the rooms piled to the ceiling with children’s shoes. That gives you have an idea what the Holocaust was. Shoes. Once worn by real people.” - via jewishhistory.org

In the Holocaust Museum in DC, they have a room just for the shoes and hair of the victims. It’s really startling to see it so up close since it makes you realize the sheer scale of this. The pile of hair in the museum weighs several tons, and bear in mind that this several ton pile of hair is only but a small fraction of all of the horrible things found in the camps.

Somewhere in those shoes were the shoes of my great aunts and their children. 

Same with eyeglasses.

It’s something I can never, ever forget.

[durnesque-esque]

The above are photos I took at Auschwitz. The shoes and suitcases were each encased in a hallway - kept behind glass on both sides. And again comprise only a fraction of what the Nazis took.

Now the significance of these collections can not be understated or undermined, the horrors of the Holocaust, the Shoah, are embodied in these piles of stolen clothing and cases.

We look at them and recoil, promising that we’ll never forget and yet the systematic slaughter of human beings continues around the world.

In different places, for different reasons. Who didn’t learn the lesson? Who still needs to be reached? Who needs to be protected?

Do not forget. Remember and react. Radical evil is not a memory of the past, it is a present and continuous force.

Reblogging in honor International Holocaust Remembrance Day: 70 year anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps. 

[shittyurlhere-deactivated201507]

I have visited the Holocaust Museum in DC and let me tell you. It is a harrowing experince that cuts you to the quick and leaves you breathless. The absolute enormity of everything you see and feel and smell. The shoes still smell like leather and feet, the train cart in the middle of the museum once used to move people into camps still smells like wood and it’s so small standing inside of it and imagining yourself hurdling towards a camp is enough to give you chills.

They also play videos of the liberation of the camps, showing what the soldiers saw when they finally arrived. The museum has hospital beds where they used to do experiments on the mentally ill, most especially those with Autism. 

The impact is astounding, and it’s seared in my mind as if it happened yesterday, tho it was almost a decade ago now. 

It’s a emotional experience, but if you have the chace to go, go. It’s something we must never ever forget happened. Jewish people, Romani, trans people, the mentally ill, LGBTQA+, Catholics, those of improper coloring, so many people were killed. And we must prevent something like this from happening again. We must learn tolerance and acceptance, to love one another and to protect each other.

That moment when you have to move your beard out of the way to see your chest hair.

Today in Solidarity (12/29/14): I was out in LA today when we got word about the autopsy results for Ezell Ford. They gunned that man down execution-style. Folks are angry, but staying peaceful, though you can feel the tension in the air. Pray for Ezell’s family and all those putting their lives on the line in the name of justice tonight. #staywoke #farfromover

[thatsnotthinprivilege]

This isn’t related to thin privilege, but I seriously cannot take it anymore. This is what oppression looks like. As long as the execution of blacks continues, I cannot and will not take fat middle class white women seriously. At all.

My family members could be next. I could be next. I am seriously afraid to leave my house. I avoid the police like the plague. I live my life. I live my life in fear. That’s what oppression does to you.

Not finding clothes or love interests isn’t oppression. Not seeing “enough” fat people in the media is not oppression. You know what kind of representation blacks are getting? News reports about another one of us being executed and the government trying to cover it up.

Fuck this. I’m out.

[thefreakynigga]

Trying to cover it up? More like “being stupid” because if they were actually trying to kill ya’ll off they would be burning tax money.

You’re on the USA, you’re ten times less likely to be shot by cops than anywhere else.

Don’t make police brutality a race issue. Every minority and poor person has problems with the police.

[socialjuststop]

Where the fuck are the citations for “being ten times less likely to be shot by cops than anywhere else”?

I’m pretty sure you have no idea what you’re talking about and pulled that shit right out of your ass.

[manlymanbuck]

Can I just point out that "shot in the back" means the shot was fired from behind, geometrically, and doesnt necessarily indicate execution (which is typically a single shot to the back of the head, while the victim is kneeling). Also, this is the first autopsy I've ever heard mention the imprint of a barrel. I'm almost certain that portion is completely made up. You can tell close range based on a number of factors, but balistically anything under about 20ft would be close range, which is actually an interesting parameter in self defense. In a civilian sense, anything more than that will often be questioned if you needed to defend yourself at all. I'm not taking sides, we don't know the full story yet. But jumping to conclusions looks bad if this is a legitimate use of force, or an instance of abuse. Either way jumping to conclusions is silly.
