New York City Officials Ignore Devastated Chinatown, Advocates Say Income And Race Is To Blame
“Income and race have a lot to do with the situation that we’re in, I went by Wall Street last night and all the lights were on, the buildings were empty, there were christmas lights on the trees and it was absolutely crazy because we had just left here [Chinatown] and it was pitch black,” said Helena Wong in an interview with The Nation.
Wong is the executive director of the Chinatown-based organization CAAAV: Organizing Asian Communities.
“What we’re seeing is no officials are coming here, there are no translated documents, there’s no FEMA, Bloomberg isn’t here, no ones invested any resources in to this community and there are other communities as well that aren’t Wall Street and aren’t Time Square and it’s pretty clear that it’s profits over people right now,” Wong went on to say.
The video was shot and produced by Francis Reynolds at The Nation.

The thing about not having much money is you have to take much more responsibility for your life. You can’t pay people to watch your kids or clean your house or fix your meals. You can’t necessarily afford a car or a washing machine or a home in a good school district. That’s what money buys you: goods and services that make your life easier. That’s what money has bought Romney, too. He’s a guy who sold his dad’s stock to pay for college, who built an elevator to ensure easier access to his multiple cars and who was able to support his wife’s decision to be a stay-at-home mom. That’s great! That’s the dream. The problem is that he doesn’t seem to realize how difficult it is to focus on college when you’re also working full time, how much planning it takes to reliably commute to work without a car, or the agonizing choices faced by families in which both parents work and a child falls ill. The working poor haven’t abdicated responsibility for their lives. They’re drowning in it.

A Daily Riot.: Cultural Appropriation and the Native Adoptee
I understand that my perspective on this issue will generally always come from a different perspective than most of the out spoken folks in Indian Country. After all, I did not grow up on a reservation, nor experience the “classic” urban native experience. I am a native woman who was adopted out…

Whips and Chains Excite Me: I miss my Daddy. I miss having a Daddy. I miss having anyone there for...
I miss my Daddy. I miss having a Daddy. I miss having anyone there for me.
I feel so empty some nights and when I get on tumblr.. I can’t help myself from getting so sad. I see so many happy babygirls and I get jealous, or I see pictures of things that I just want so bad. It’s not fair.
I want to be kneeling by the door waiting for my Daddy to come home everyday, waiting for Him to put my collar on me and pet my hair. I want to make Him a drink and take His cock in my mouth like I’ve been longing to do all day. I want Him to show me my place and be facefucked by Him, slapped, choked, and cum all over because He knows it’s what I need. I want comforting cuddles and kisses afterwards all night, with little whispers of love. I want to play with Daddy; chase me around the house, jump on the bed with me, make forts and watch Disney movies and color with me. I want to be His little girl, always safe to be me when He’s there. Always helping me go into my “little space”. I want to be punished when I’m naughty so I learn how to be better for Him. I want pretty marks and bruises on my bum to remember how much Daddy cares about me. I want days spent on the playground at the park, and Daddy taking me out for icecream. I want to go to the drive-in at night and cuddle up in Daddy’s lap. I want to try to cook us dinner and impress Daddy with my (naked) cooking skills. I want to feel cute, cuddled with my Hello Kitty stuffies and paci in my mouth. I want Daddy to talk to me like His baby. I want Daddy to take me anywhere, anytime because I belong to Him. I want to be picked up and fucked on the kitchen counter. Or pulled into a dressing room at the mall, pulled over on the side of a back road, at the beach at night. I want to feel Daddy’s firm hands on me always. I want to feel a collar tight around my neck when He can’t be there physically with me. I want to serve Him in every way. I want to please Him, and love Him with all my heart. I need Daddy. Now.

Black Girl Dangerous: On Scars, Softness, Numbers and Being Seen: In 9 Parts
by The Lady Ms. Vagina Jenkins
1.
I do have visible scars. Up and down the outside of my thighs. They are brown, like me. Just in different shades. Some Carolina-clay-colored, others more of a deep pecan. Most people who notice them nowadays are kinky. They think of them as beautiful.
I’m…
I'm Cajun (as in DIRTY rice), Jewish (I keep kosher), and bisexual (identifying mostly as queer). I'm also Native American.
I am in a Daddy/girl, Master/slave, Owner/pet relationship.
"I use the word queer to mean more than a lesbian. Since I first used it in 1980 I have always meant it to imply that I am not only a lesbian but a transgressive lesbian—femme, masochistic, as sexually aggressive as the women I seek out, and as pornographic in my imagination and sexual activities as the heterosexual hegemony has ever believed."
— Dorothy Allison
"So proud of being a woman-loving, card-carrying, feminist, activist misfit; And so don't give a fuck if it makes you a little uncomfortable. Deal!"
--- Staceyann Chin
“We tend to think of the erotic as an easy, tantalizing sexual arousal. I speak of the erotic as the deepest life force, a force which moves us toward living in a fundamental way.” ---Audre Lorde Subscribe via RSS.
