There’s is still a pipeline to be fought, so please do your part in any way you can. Progress starts by asking questions and educating yourself. Remember: the mainstream media still isn’t telling the story- so dig deep my friends and stand together 💪🏽 #nodapl #standingrock #waterislife #waterprotectors #climateaction #indigenousrights #standwithstandingrock #weareonourway

Some highlights of a road trip. A building at The Winchester Mystery House, food/drinks at Rudy’s Can’t Fail and Jalapeños with dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Fort Bragg.
During the 15-hour Senate filibuster on gun control, there were 38 shootings that killed 12 people and injured 36 more across America.
That roughly translates to one shooting per every 23 minutes.
“When I was first living as a punk (back at the Canterbury), I experienced a kind of acceptance I’d never experienced before. Many of us hadn’t decided if we were bisexual, queer, or how we wanted to identify, and all of it was completely accepted. If you decided to try something different, that was OK - nobody held you to any kind of expectations. I think that the beauty of punk was that it didn’t force anybody to claim anything that they weren’t ready to claim. And I think that when you’re young, it’s really important to feel that kind of looseness, that kind of freedom. I feel like true punk is about that kind of freedom, so I feel that people who don’t have that kind of freedom and were involved in some very rigid form of rock music… I don’t even consider that punk, I just think of that as something that mimics the patriarchy, that mimics the status quo, and how that’s punk is beyond me. I just don’t get it. Punk is to challenge convention, to try something new, and be daring, and dare to expose who you are. That’s really being brave, right? To feel like, ‘I have to conceal who I am just to fit in and everybody’s wearing leather jackets so I have to buy one too’ - that just seems so uncomfortable to me and so restrictive. If that’s the kind of scene that you consider punk…I…I just…I would have to disagree.” interview with KChung Radio, August 2015.

Tonight, the Cannes Film Festival kicks off with a new Woody Allen film. There will be press conferences and a red-carpet walk by my father and his wife (my sister). He’ll have his stars at his side — Kristen Stewart, Blake Lively, Steve Carell, Jesse Eisenberg. They can trust that the press won’t ask them the tough questions. It’s not the time, it’s not the place, it’s just not done.
That kind of silence isn’t just wrong. It’s dangerous. It sends a message to victims that it’s not worth the anguish of coming forward. It sends a message about who we are as a society, what we’ll overlook, who we’ll ignore, who matters and who doesn’t.
We are witnessing a sea change in how we talk about sexual assault and abuse. But there is more work to do to build a culture where women like my sister are no longer treated as if they are invisible. It’s time to ask some hard questions.
Described as an educational petting zoo, the Deadwood, SD location will include a chance to “pet-and-plays” with wolf puppies. They advertise it will only cost you $20 dollars for 20 minutes. For the puppies, it will eventually cost them their lives.
Once the pups are too old to for the “pet-and-plays,” they will be transported back to Minnesota and eventually killed for their fur.
