Friend: ugh
the world is so awful
it just spirals
every time you think about it
Me: Yeah don’t do that
One of my most favorite models of all time.

’T was the hour when rites unholy
Called each Paynim voice to prayer,
And the star that faded slowly
Left to dews the freshened air.
Day her sultry fires had wasted,
Calm and sweet the moonlight rose;
Even a captive’s spirit tasted
Half oblivion of his woes.
Then ’t was from an Emir’s palace
Came an Eastern lady bright;
She, in spite of tyrants jealous,
Saw and loved an English knight.
“Tell me, captive, why in anguish
Foes have dragged thee here to dwell,
Where poor Christians as they languish
Hear no sound of Sabbath bell?”
“’T was on Transylvania’s Bannat
When the crescent shone afar,
Like a pale disastrous planet
O’er the purple tide of war.
“In that day of desolation,
Lady, I was captive made:
Bleeding for my Christian nation
By the walls of high Belgrade.”
“Captive! could the brightest jewel
From my turban set thee free?”
“Lady, no! the gift were cruel,
Ransomed, yet if reft of thee.
“Say, fair princess! would it grieve thee
Christian climes should we behold?”
“Nay, bold knight! I would not leave thee
Were thy ransom paid in gold!”
Now in heaven’s blue expansion
Rose the midnight star to view,
When to quit her father’s mansion,
Thrice she wept and bade adieu!
“Fly we then, while none discover;
Tyrant barks, in vain we ride!”
Soon at Rhodes the British lover
Clasped his blooming Eastern bride.
"Annonymous’ Operation Jubilee
My boyfriend forwarded an email to me for the LOLZ … (anything that is in [ ] is mine, all emphasis mine.)
“Protests like those in Greece and OWS, the recent surrounding of the Congress building in Madrid and most previous protests have failed, because the protesters allowed the police to provoke and arrest individuals, one or two at a time, whilst everyone else let them get away with it, with an “I’m alright Jack” attitude, until it’s their turn, of course.
Reverend Martin Niemoller famously stated - “In Germany, the Nazis first came for the communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, but I didn’t speak up because I was a protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.” [Nazi reference!]
The difference with Operation Jubilee, for it to succeed, is that it MUST be an all for one and one for all event; acting as one body, and any and all policemen who lay their hands on anyone protesting peacefully, will be citizen’s arrested, using their own handcuffs against them. This will help the protest to turn out differently, for once. [yeah, like all those other protests where protesters clashed with the police]
Both the people and the police need to know the rules that the people will be guided by. So that; if or when they attempt what they are likely to attempt (dragging away an individual); they will see that the people will do exactly what they said they would do, and that they have to keep their hands off peaceful protestors.
Any weapons used against the people will be confiscated, by the people.
THEY will try to lay down their fraudulent rules, falsely claiming they are laying down and enforcing the law, when they are NOT. If it isn’t in the Bible, it is NOT a law, but a fraudulent piece of man-made legislation. [Oh the fucking irony] So tell them that, and ignore their unlawful fraudulent orders. If they try to enforce fraudulent [non-biblical] legislation, they will be committing a crime against the people, and thus are criminals who must be arrested, irrespective of their appearance. [This is a bizzare mix between a communist regime and a theocracy, where a crime against god is actually a crime against the people??]
In order to prevent THEM from saying that the operation’s rules would be an excuse for anarchists to do as they like, any wrong-doers [evil-doers?] among the people, will also be arrested by the people. That will also take care of any agent provocateurs/undercover cops - the ones who throw things, etc, in order to provoke a police charge and brutality.
Peacefully protesting against treason, corruption and injustice is Lawful, and anybody who attempts to deny someone’s right to do so is committing a crime, and will be arrested.
Stay anonymous. Stay free and join Operation Jubilee.”
So basically you think the British government is corrupt and you want to replace it WITH A THEOCRACY
I really can’t wait to see how this turns out guys…

This is beautiful.
We have a new camp in town for LGBT youth. I see them walking around, so genuinely happy to be in a place where they are not only tolerated, they are accepted. The world needs more programs like these.
THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT IS EVER.
This is the loveliest ever
