The Bees
Canadian artist Sarah Hatton links neonicotinoid pesticides present in crops to the worldwide decline of bee populations. To raise awareness on the issue, she started to create works of art from dead bees she’s collected. Hatton arranges the bees in patterns symbolically linked to monoculture crops destroying them—such as the Fibonacci spiral found in the seed pattern of the sunflower. This optical illusion represents the bees’ loss of ability to navigate due to neurotoxins.

It has never been against U.S. law to commit genocide against indigenous peoples — in fact, genocide is the law of the country. The United States could not exist without it. In the United States, democracy is actually the alibi for genocide — it is the practice that covers up United States colonial control over indigenous lands.

…using someone else’s cultural symbols to satisfy a personal need for self-expression is an exercise in privilege.
Meet Aamir, a child who escaped from his drunken father. Penniless and begging for food one day, a couple approached and gave him some cakes. They promised him a better life, and he thought they were social workers. But sadly that was FAR from the truth.
The food was drugged and Aamir became drowsy. They took him to a hospital where a doctor literally amputated his legs. So those scenes you may have seen in Slumdog Millionaire are very realistic.
Aamir was in much pain after the operation but he was just one of the MANY who is victim to these gangs in India and all over Asia really who kidnap children and deliberately cripple them and force them to beg. They do this because they think a cripple child will elicit more sympathy and more money.
Such a harsh world.
In case you missed it, here’s where you can view Slumdog Millionaire.

We have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifices. Capitalism was built on the exploitation of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor, both black and white, both here and abroad.

Never run back to what broke you.
Remember this, no matter how much you think going back will make you whole again, no matter how hard it is and the courage it takes, do not look back on your past, you can’t re write the ending. (via im-sad-lets-have-sex)
