Every time I think of this movie, I remember seeing it for the first time and realizing that a girl turned her town to hell and tortured everyone in it after *she* was tortured for being raped; and then saying, "good for her." I was 12.

Interesting, because Amazon would have me believing that in order to digitize a book you have to destroy the rare first edition version of it for your AI.
(thank you Internet Archive for archiving our internet and media <3, you are an invaluable resource)
We've been getting a lot of questions lately about how the Internet Archive digitizes books.
The short answer: page by page, by hand.
You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it.
Meet Eliza, and learn how we scan books: blog.archive.org/2021/02/09/…

I love watching girls stop tolerating their brothers and start confronting the parents who raised them to expect that kind of behavior. This is literally what progress looks like.

Rape stats will never accurately reflect how frequently rape occurs because of shit like this. This is quietly happening every day.
🚨 Teen charged with raping two high school girls and one of whom needed neck surgery after being strangled just had his case dismissed and sealed.
JESSE BUTLER was given youthful offender status in Oklahoma.
He completed the program and the charges were dropped one day before his 19th birthday.
The case will now be expunged as if it never happened.
During the final hearing, the defense claimed the perpetrator suffered more than the victims.
The new District Attorney said it made his “blood boil.”
Two victims.
No prison time.
Case erased.

The fact that you can read, write, sing, dance, laugh and speak, are all political.
No woman is free until all women are free.

This video is the perfect summary of how girls are unable to experience their childhoods. She's coming from the kitchen carrying a pot. She's a child just like the boys but she has to be in the kitchen and looking after them. This earth has truly never been fair to the female sex
مقطع متداول في فيتنام..
تحولت مشاجرة أطفال على لعبة إلى موقف لم يكن في الحسبان ففي لحظة غضب ألقى الطفل الأصغر اللعبة بقوة نحو شقيقه، لكنها اصطدمت بشاشة التلفاز وحطمتها.
ساد الذعر داخل المنزل، وركض الأخ الأكبر يبحث عن والدته على أمل أن تتصرف لكنه لم يجدها وبعد لحظات وصلت شقيقتهم الكبرى،
وبعدما شاهدت التلفاز مكسورًا حتى فقدت السيطرة على مشاعرها، وأجهشت بالبكاء والصراخ خوفًا من ردة فعل والديها وما قد يترتب على ما حدث.

i took a couple environmental-based politics classes in college and in every single class they quite literally say this would happen because of our unchanged behavior towards climate change so yeah it’s crazy but lowkey what did we think was gonna happen

a ésta hermana la han arrestado más veces por defender la humanidad que a los pederastas que siguen en cargos políticos aprobando que bombardeén civiles, realmente vivimos en el infierno
Her name is Gina Martin. She was at a music festival in London when a man pushed his phone between her legs and took a photo under her skirt. She reported it to the police immediately. They told her it wasn't a criminal offence. There was nothing they could do.
She went home and decided that was unacceptable. With no legal background, no political connections and no funding she launched a campaign to make upskirting a criminal offence in England and Wales. She petitioned. She lobbied MPs. She spoke publicly about what had happened to her. The government initially blocked the bill.
She kept going. The Voyeurism Act passed in January 2019. Upskirting now carries up to two years in prison. Scotland followed. Other countries are following. A woman at a festival with no lawyer, no funding and no political connections rewrote the law for an entire nation in eighteen months.
