Jackson on his last day of 7th grade. He's wearing a T-shirt that his cousin Makee brought him home last year from Cambodia. As you can imagine his prep school dress code doesn't allow shady slogans. He has been waiting to be allowed to wear it to school for months. He even got a laugh from his science teacher! #DressCodeEnforcer He wasn't thrilled about having his picture taken, "I don't want to spend another minute on this campus, mom, let's go!" 😁 I played Alice Cooper's "School's Out" for him on the way home… "Hey, that's pretty good" ❤️ Happy Summer Sweetie! 😎💦⛵️🏝🛌🏕🏄🏽🏃🤙🏼 (at Hawaii Preparatory Academy)

You know what line gets me every time I watch MAD MAX FURY ROAD? 

“Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.”

Think about that. “Addicted to water.” It makes it sound like water is an extra luxury that people don’t need but are greedy for, something they should be able to go without, and if they are desperate for it, it’s their own fault, and not the fault of the man who has all of it, and withholds it.

Think about how the people in power tell us not to be greedy for the things we need, like healthcare, like a living wage, like the right to be free of fear and violence in our own communities. The people in power tell us not to be greedy for these things, when they themselves already enjoy them freely, and withhold them from us.

Don’t trust the narrative that tells us we’re being greedy by asking for things that we need.

Don’t trust the asshole sitting on a grassy hilltop with his hand on the spigot telling us not to be greedy for water.
