Fine neighborhood decor I noticed today.

I have discovered a new source of tags without having to haul my sick ass around Minnesota: small-town PD facebook feeds; in this case, Columbia Heights. OTOH, reading the rest of what they post is enough to make me sick all over again, so I’ll probably stop here.

L: My tumblr timeline. R: My tumblr ads. Looks Yahoo has a little way to go with the whole semantic advertising thing.

Also? Fuck Border Control in their racist, power-tripping little asses. @riotmuffin, should I send in a resume? Lol

Feminist graffiti in south Minneapolis: Men are 'jealous of our orgasms'

A special kind of graffiti has been hitting south Minneapolis lately, tagging bridge overpasses with a message rarely seen in spray paint. Usually it's some guy's gang sign. Maybe there's an animal, or some sort of demon, or some dumb message that's thinner than the block letters used to write...

Lovin’ my city.

As a contribution to the struggle against the police and the world they maintain, the above posters were put up throughout busy areas of the Powderhorn Park neighborhood in Minneapolis.

“F*CK THE POLICE

The cops are the face of a system that controls us, that oppresses us, that shapes our lives. They stand between every homeless person and the homes sitting empty. They stand between every hungry person and the food sitting on supermarket shelves. They stand between us and liberation.

We’re tired of asking the cops to play nice. We’re tired of pretending their job is to protect us.

It’s time to fight back”

Peeling Off Old Paint To Tell Stories Of Palestinian Refugees by street artist Pejac

With these four small interventions I am trying to tell a minimalistic story about the Palestinian refugees in Al Hussein, Amman Jordan.

By removing small areas of the “skin” of the houses I want to transform the paint chipping, produced by the passage of time, in to evocative landscapes and transmit the pride of its inhabitants through the walls.

Al-Hussein refugee camp was originally stablished in 1948 as a result of the Arab-Israeli war.  Source:boredpanda and streetartnews
