We are doing some light reading.


I saw someone post this on social media the other day, accompanied by some disapproving comments. Which I agree with. How does going out and dancing and drinking show support for such a monumental movement, one that will likely change the course of the U.S., for the better? Do these people not think of the actual lives lost? The men bleeding to death from gunshot wounds at the hands of authorities, those trusted to protect their lives?
I would like to talk to the organizers and see what was going through their heads. Did they have a moment of silence? Hand out any educational material? Leave any room for discussion? I doubt it…Did they also think of the lives lost in Jamaica that matter just as much? It seems they thought more about the dress code- All black, of course…I hope everyone enjoyed themselves…
This is worth a read, from Michael Brown’s mother, who was killed by police in Ferguson almost two years ago. There’s not much more we can say anymore…
This is amazing.

A spot of colour in the Floridian forest: kayaks waiting to be used.
Tyga’s new video, which normally I would not care about, especially as it is a mediocre song at best, but it is shot in Jamaica.
