Arizona Legislators Trying to Declare Pregnancy Two Weeks Prior to Conception
1 month ago • 4 notes • view commentsArizona lawmakers are writing a 20-week abortion ban that starts counting off at the first day of a woman’s period. Yes, they’re arguing that you’re ‘pregnant’ while you’re actually getting your period….they’re really trying to steal as many weeks as possible away from women seeking abortion….they’re trying to argue that you’re pregnant a couple of weeks before you even had the sex that resulted in your pregnancy.
ready to check out of real life now, kthxbai.

‘Knitting a revolution, one stitch at a time’2 months ago • 14 notes • view comments
This is an incredible example of craftivism. Originally distributed by Reuters on March 3, 2012, this video shows a group of Syrian rebels crafting their own rebel flags and uniforms in resistance to the Assad regime. Here we see craft as a tool of resistance and as a tool of empowerment.
text transcript via jpost.com:Activists defy the Syrian government by making banners, placards and uniforms to support anti-government rebels.
Activists in a village near Homs are helping Syrian rebels by sewing military uniforms and rebel flags.
Some have faced their own losses during protests against President Bashar Assad.
“My brother is injured and I will keep on working and participate in the protests and with the Free Syrian Army to get rid of this corrupt regime, and we will not fall back and will not kneel or surrender,” says one woman.
They are left with few choices.
“We expect that they will bomb us anytime and will destroy our houses, but we are not frightened and will not leave our houses, because we have no where else to go to,” another woman adds.
They fear once Assad’s forces clear rebel strongholds in Homs they will be next. One soldier from the opposition Free Syria army offers assurances.
A Free Syria Army soldier says, “Homs will not fall, as long as there is a soul and a drop of blood in it, we will continue fighting, we will stay in our path until we get rid of the regime.”
The UN says Syrian forces have killed more than 7,500 civilians since the uprising began last March.
