The original FUCK Elvis!

You heard it right. Elvis stole the song from her and got all the credit.

White artists stealing black art and sterilizing it for white audiences is nothing new.

There’s so much bad news swirling around these days, that I thought it’d be nice to share a happy, feel good story. It’s Friday and we want you to go home lifted. 4-year-old Calise Manning is going to help you do just that. Little Calise, from Kalamazoo, Michigan, is being called a hero after calling 911 operators when her pregnant mother was having a seizure. Centerria Manning, Calise’s mother trained her daughter to call authorities if anything ever happened to her. And all of that was put to very good use last week when Centerria, who was 9-months pregnant, collapsed onto the floor, shaking. Instead of panicking, Calise sprang into action. In the 911 audio, obtained by CNN little Calise says, “My mom is really pregnant and she’s having a boy and she really needs help.” During the nearly seven-and-a-half minute call, she gave the dispatcher her name, her mom’s age and address. It seems that even the dispatcher was impressed and asked Calise how old she was. She responded, “Four. Yes, and I’m almost getting bigger.” Calise’s quick thinking and excellent training that ultimately saved not only her mother’s life but the life of her younger brother. Two days later, Centerria gave birth to a healthy baby boy named TJ. Centerria, who has been training Calise since she was two, recounted the incident, “I got up and that’s all I can remember. I woke up and my daughter Calise was standing over me and she was on the phone with 911…I was so proud of her because we practiced and I teach her–because I’m an epileptic– the address and my full name and things like that, and how to dial 911.” The 911 dispatcher suggested that Calise get some type of award for handling herself so well under pressure and saving her mother and brother’s lives. Later that day Centerria said Calise looked down at her and said, “I told you I was going to take care of you if something happened.”

So proud of my mother for doing her own research after I sent her that meme. A sign she hung in her car window.

Is this true?

[mallninjacode-deactivated201812]

Not only is it true, it gets worse. The Susan G Komen For The Cure Foundation has actually successfully sued “competing” charities, because (paraphrasing) their “message or branding was infringing.”

You read that correctly: they took money that people had donated to cure cancer, and hired attorneys with it, to sue ANOTHER group of people trying to find a cure for cancer, who, in turn, had to us their donated money to hire their own legal counsel to defend themselves.

I think the sign of a true soulmate isn’t someone you just want to do the super cool stuff with. A real soulmate is the person who makes any ordinary day fun. Some people make all these huge plans to do with their special someone, fuck that. Find someone who you can take grocery shopping and still have a blast with. Find someone who makes you look forward to waking up on Monday.

“This piece was primarily a trust exercise, in which she told viewers she would not move for six hours no matter what they did to her.  She placed 72 objects one could use in pleasing or destructive ways, ranging from flowers and a feather boa to a knife and a loaded pistol, on a table near her and invited the viewers to use them on her however they wanted. 

Initially, Abramović said, viewers were peaceful and timid, but it escalated to violence quickly.  “The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed… I felt really violated: they cut my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the public. Everyone ran away, escaping an actual confrontation.”

This piece revealed something terrible about humanity, similar to what Philip Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment or Stanley Milgram’s Obedience Experiment, both of which also proved how readily people will harm one another under unusual circumstances.”

This performance showed just how easy it is to dehumanize a person who doesn’t fight back, and is particularly powerful because it defies what we think we know about ourselves. I’m certain the no one reading this believes the people around him/her capable of doing such things to another human being, but this performance proves otherwise.”

this is why performance art is important

So every single person who told me ‘ignore them they’ll go away’ and ‘you can’t let them know they bothered you’ and ‘They’ll stop if they don’t see you react’ and all that bull shit, my entire school career, I want you to look good and hard at this.

I want you to think about what you said.

What you keep saying.

What you are telling your children.

You are making them powerless.
