The above article is an update. Her mother went to appeal to keep her out of the psychiatric ward and lost. She will be institutionalized because of her expression of her gender. She will be held until she conforms to male gender and then released to foster care, not her mother who was supporting her.
Please, if you haven’t signed the petition, sign it, reblog it, ask your friends to sign it. We’ve managed to get 40K signatures for a pageant model, we’ve only gotten 11K for a little girl about to have her life ruined. Lets get on the ball and spread the word.
I literally just repeated the f-word until I ran out of breath.
Let me catch my breath. I may go on a cursing spree again as soon as I get it back.

@Nosalikes and I (@katebomz) are working on producing a Documentary series project which aims to change perceptions of the continent, by diminishing the image of a continent in need of salvation, but rather showing a place full of opportunity and potential waiting to be realized. The show will cover 13 African cities, and will help to highlight the uniqueness of each city, giving the world a better understanding of the wonderful diversity within the continent.
I would love ALL your support on this, getting word out on it, and of course coming to our kickstarter launch event to learn more about the project. So lets get on RT..Reblog, Instagram, Facebook, Tumble, this, that..all the above!
I hope to see you all there.

To encourage upward growth, pinch off new buds when they appear below the top leaves on the plant stalk. With proper care, in three years your Avocado will grow to an elegant, large-leaved houseplant about 3 feet tall.

*applause* It’s a fundamentally capitalist discourse, in a way, that we as activists have this responsibility to make ourselves productive, our worth is determined by our productivity, and any impedances to this…
The Power of Tumblr. The Beauty of Strangers.
My name is Ray Stoeser. I am a high school teacher living and working in Detroit. Below is a testament to the power of Tumblr and social networking. Most importantly it is about how 554 complete strangers helped change the lives of my Detroit students.
