Suicidal feelings are not the same as giving up on life. Suicidal feelings often express a powerful and overwhelming need for a different life. Suicidal feelings can mean, in a desperate and unyielding way, a demand for something new. Listen to someone who is suicidal and you often hear a need for change so important, so indispensable, that they would rather die than go on living without the change. And when the person feels powerless to make that change happen, they become suicidal. Help comes when the person identifies the change they want and starts to believe it can actually happen. Whether it is overcoming an impossible family situation, making a career or study change, standing up to an oppressor, gaining relief from chronic physical pain, igniting creative inspiration, feeling less alone, or beginning to value their self worth, at the root of suicidal feelings is often powerlessness to change your life – not giving up on life itself.

I have no words. This saddens and angers me so much.

Today marks the 26th anniversary of the École Polytechnique massacre, in Montreal, Canada. A cowardly, misogynic act which left 14 promising women dead, simply because they were women:

Twenty-five-year-old Marc Lépine, armed with a Mini-14 rifle and a hunting knife, shot 28 people, killing 14 women, before committing suicide. He began his attack by entering a classroom at the university, where he separated the male and female students. After claiming that he was “fighting feminism” and calling the women “a bunch of feminists,” he shot all nine women in the room, killing six. He then moved through corridors, the cafeteria, and another classroom, specifically targeting women to shoot. Overall, he killed fourteen women and injured ten other women and four men in just under 20 minutes before turning the gun on himself.[1][2] His suicide note claimed political motives and blamed feminists for ruining his life. The note included a list of 19 Quebec women whom Lépine considered to be feminists and apparently wished to kill.[3]

After this despicable act, Canada adopted gun control measures. Since gun control measures were adopted there has not been another mass shooting killing more than 10 people in Canada. Since École Polytechnique there has only been 9 massacres in Canada; 9 in 26 years.

Please remember these women.

(note pour un possible futur)

Tu seras un homme, gamin.

“Ne mange pas trop vite” “Fais attention en traversant” “Ne parle pas aux inconnus” “Ne commence jamais la cigarette” “Mets des capotes” “Ne bois pas dans un verre qui n’est pas le tien” “Ne conduis pas bourré”

À chaque âge, on rajoute un conseil, une mise en garde, un ordre, une recommandation. On la répète plusieurs fois. Petits, parce qu’ils n’écoutent rien, ces anarchistes. Plus grands, parce qu’il faut d’abord répéter la recommandation seule, face au miroir de la salle de bains, en tentant différentes approches : “Alors, tu as maintenant 14 ans, je voulais te parler de sexe.” Non, trop direct. “Alors, tu connais mon pote Bruno, qui est séropositif ?” NON PUTAIN. “J’ignore si l’ipséité d’un coït t’est déjà apparue intrinsèquement mais…” OH BORDEL.

Des heures de torture mentale pour finir par un “Tiens, voilà des capotes. Ne te sens pas obligé d’avoir des relations parce que tu as des capotes, mais si tu as des relations, mets des capotes. ET NE FAIS PAS DES BALLONS AVEC, IMBÉCILE”

Et puis il y a d’autres recommandations, celles qu’il ne faut pas dire, qu’on ne trouve pas dans les magazines Psychologie ou Parents, celles qui outrent les copines, celles qu’on ne peut même pas répéter face à un miroir, de peur de ne plus trouver le courage de les faire.

“Tu es un garçon. Comme Spiderman, tu as un grand pouvoir et donc une grande responsabilité : tu risques, un jour, d’être physiquement plus fort qu’une femme. Voire que plusieurs femmes, voire que plein de femmes. Cette force physique en plus, tu peux l’oublier et, un jour de colère, de déception, ou un jour où tu seras ivre peut-être, tu peux t’en servir. Pour frapper. Ou pour obtenir quelque chose de force. Un baiser ou un câlin qu’on te refuse. Alors que toi tu en avais très envie maintenant. Tu as la responsabilité de ta force. Ne frappe jamais une femme. Entends et arrête-toi immédiatement si une femme te dit non.”

On dit aux jeunes filles de ne pas traîner tard le soir dans tel ou tel quartier, on leur refourgue mille et une astuces pour se protéger. Mais on ne dit pas aux jeunes garçons de ne pas abuser de leur force.

Comme si, en le leur disant, on traitait tous les hommes de pervers. Mais on leur dit bien de ne pas voler, les traite-t-on pour autant tous de voleurs ? On leur dit aussi de ne pas se battre, insinue-t-on par là qu’ils sont tous des incontrôlables qui cassent le crâne du moindre interlocuteur qui n’est pas d’accord avec eux ? Pourquoi il ne faudrait pas leur dire de ne pas frapper une femme, de ne pas violer une femme ?

Parce que nos propres enfants pourront se faire écraser s'ils ne regardent pas à droite et à gauche, peut-être ; ils pourront avoir un accident de voiture bourrés, ça arrive ; ils pourront voler une fringue, ces idiots, on sera inquiets, tristes, en colère, mais on comprendra, ça fait partie de la vie.

Mais nos enfants ne cogneront pas leur femme, ça non. Ils ne violeront pas, ça non. Ce sont d’autres gens qui font ça, ce sont des adultes tordus, sortis de nulle part, des marginaux, des pas comme nous.

Au risque de décevoir : chaque homme qui tue une femme de ses coups, chaque homme qui viole, a un jour été un enfant. Et il a eu des parents. “Oui, mais des parents défaillants alors ! s’insurge-t-on. Pas des parents comme moi ! Moi, je suis équilibré(e), j’ai joué avec lui au moins une heure par jour, et je lui ai fait du gratin de chou-fleur maison.”

J’en ai vu des mères “normales” sur le banc du tribunal, qui regardaient leur fils dans le box de l’accusé. Durant les longues heures du procès, elles fixent tantôt leur enfant, tantôt leurs pieds. Je les ai vues passer en revue chaque journée de leur éducation, pour trouver l’endroit où elles avaient pu échouer. Elles se torturent à chercher, à vouloir comprendre, elles disent “Mais pourtant il est normal”.

Nos enfants peuvent battre une femme.

Nos enfants peuvent violer une femme.

Parlons à nos fils. Un mot, ce n’est pas grand-chose, mais parfois, ça change beaucoup de vies.

INKTOBER Day 14!

The world of Airth. Literally torn apart by an ancient war between the gods who created it, Airth is divided into 4 sections: 1. the Stratos, a chain of islands high in the sky where the Sylph people live 2. The Rimland, a massive ring of continents and giant islands where Most of the inhabitants of Airth live. Wake lives here. 3. The Abyss, a stretch of atmosphere filled with incredible cloud formations and tiny floating islands. Limberg and Grimm are from here. 4. The Core, an ocean covered rocky sphere filled with colossal caves. The Tengru, monsters and beasts, and the Dark Lord live down here.

There is a prophecy that the Dark Lord will regain his power and destroy what’s left of Airth to start a new planet with him as ruler. The only thing that can stop him is the Star Seed. It is the key to making Airth whole again and destroying the darkness forever. But is the Star Seed only a myth?

Spéciale Salut Camarade Raciste

Quand lors d'un débat contre les politiques de racialisation à la fête de l’huma, après avoir entendu pour la énième fois des militants blancs nier le poids du racisme en répondant aux intervenant-e-s concerné-e-s “nan mais y'a pas de jaunes, de verts, de noirs ou d'arabes, on est tous des humains et des citoyens”, “moi je suis communiste, et je connais [insérer le nom d'un leader non-blanc] donc je suis pas raciste” et autres “nan mais faut pas perdre de vue que le combat principal, c'est le combat contre le capitalisme hein”, on pense à créer un bingo spéciale camarade raciste.

dystopian novel premise:

A high flying Silicon Valley startup has invented Good Dollars, debit cards which can be restricted so that the money can only be spent “ethically” - that is, on products that have been whitelisted by the person who set up the card. Employers start paying their employees in Good Dollars instead of regular dollars so they can control how their workers spend their paychecks. 

Most employers blacklist alcohol and cigarettes, because they don’t feel it’s appropriate for you to spend your paycheck on those. Some employers, being especially socially conscious, blacklist movie theatres and swimming pools, while others make it impossible to spend your money on potato chips or soda. The CEO of Walmart really hates lobsters so Walmart paychecks are restricted so you can’t buy lobster. The CEO of Amazon has a beef with steak, so if you work for Amazon your Good Dollars won’t let you buy any.

Plot twist: like all great dystopian novels, this one is just “what if we treated everyone the way we treat poor people”. Kansas lawmakers have banned welfare recipients from spending their money on movies and swimming pools. Missouri tried to ban food stamps recipients from spending the food stamps on steak, seafood, and cookies. Wisconsin is debating a ban on buying “unhealthy” food with food stamps.

So if you’re in the mood to be a brave teenage protagonist, boy have I got a system for you to take on.

Brilliant idea, I really hop this develop well in the US and all around the World!

Pakistan-born, Komal Ahmad, develops phone app to feed almost 600,000 homeless people in San Francisco.

While she was walking near campus one fall day, a homeless man approached her, asking for money to buy food because he was hungry. Instead of giving him cash, Komal invited the man to lunch. As they ate, he told her his story. He was a soldier recently returned from Iraq and had a bad turn of luck. “He’d already gone on two deployments and now he’s come back, he’s 26 and on the side of the road begging for food,” Komal said. “It just blew my mind.”

It bothered her so she decided to do something about it. Within a few months, Komal set up a program at UC Berkeley that allowed the school’s dining halls to donate excess food to local homeless shelters. That program then expanded to 140 college campuses across the US in about three years.

Komal, now 25 years old and CEO of a nonprofit service called Feeding Forward, is looking to expand even more into what she calls on-demand food recovery. Through a website and mobile app, Feeding Forward matches businesses that have surplus food with nearby homeless shelters.

When companies or event planners have surplus food, they tap the Feeding Forward app and provide details of their donation. A driver is dispatched to quickly pick up the leftovers and deliver them to food banks. 

“These are huge cities that have absurd amounts of food thrown away every day,” Komal said. “We are trying to make the Bay Area a case study to say ‘Hey, if it works here, it can work anywhere.’ 

A note handed to the men guarding a prisoner we were trying to free…

Getting salt from gamer boys in my inbox.

Listen up turd turrets, I WANTED to just play video games, I WANTED to just have fun, I NEVER wanted my gaming to be political or a struggle, I just wanted to play.

But you wouldn’t fucking let me, you brought up my gender, you judged me based on it, YOU made it political.

So now I WILL wreck everything with my fucking feminism, I am the feminist nightmare you fucking created.

Witness me.

ATTENTION: Femcon 2015 is a scam. Some users on 4chan decided to create a fake convention in order to scam feminists out of their money. Please, don’t fall for this, and help spread the word if you can. Here is a link to some screenshots from their chat: http://imgur.com/a/2e0kU
