Do you Know what is happening in Venezuela? This is what is happening. This is what has been happening during a week. The students have been protesting in a pacific way against the repressive and tyrant government that we have since 1999 (yes, 15 years living with insecurity, food and medicine shortages, deprivation of liberty, and media blackout) and what is the police and the army doing? Beating us, shooting us, and recently some students were condemned to jail for 13 years!! For what crime? For claiming justice and democracy. Please, share this post, the world needs to know.

Don’t protest, because I’ll shoot you. Don’t make demands, because I’ll take you prisoner. Don’t inform, because I’ll take you off the air. Nice democracy, right?

This is really important, PLEASE share and reblog.
For those of you who don’t know, this is what is happening in Venezuela and this is why you should care.
What is happening in my country is wrong and unjust. The government may keep information from spreading within the country, but they can’t prevent us from spreading the word as much as we can. We would want people to turn to, people supporting us, if it was our respective countries. (And if you are in a country where you have experienced/are experiencing something similar, then you understand how important it is to speak up and my heart is with you). Please read and share. Tumblr, you’ve never let me down in spreading information, DO WHAT YOU ARE BEST AT.

What is happening in Venezuela is terrible, and we NEED to do our part and get the word out there. Please, please reblog and spread the word!

My name is Claire. I am 18 years old, and I decided to shave my head.
I had a number of reasons for doing so, the main three being: Long, dark hair is just too hot for Arizona summers, I have better things to do than tame my thick, frizzy hair every morning, and I was just plain curious.
Considering this was a personal decision, I was surprised at just how much everyone, mainly completely strangers, had suddenly taken an intense interest in this choice. It’s been about a month since the initial shaving, and I’d like to share some of the most frequent comments, questions and situations I’ve encountered:
• “What happened?!”
• “Why would you shave off your beautiful hair?”
• “Don’t worry; it’ll grow back in no time.”
• “Can I touch it?” (This from people I have never met.)
• *Middle school girls pointing at me*
• “Oh but you were so pretty!”
• “Oh my god. What does your boyfriend think?” (And the girl standing next to us was very surprised to find that yes, I do have a boyfriend)
• “Wow you’re so brave.”
• “Is this some form of rebellion?”
I’ve also encountered the situation where people think I’m very sick. I made a Target run one day; I had a very bad cold, I wasn’t wearing any makeup and the sweats I was wearing were filthy. I was asked multiple times if I needed help carrying things, three people let me go ahead in line, and I heard a woman tell her children, “Don’t stare at the poor girl.” These people were all incredibly empathetic and good people for trying to help… but I don’t have cancer.
Most of the comments regarding my head were not meant to be malicious. But I think it’s pretty easy to see the problem with them. Most people cannot fathom why a teenage girl would willingly go bald. I didn’t lose my hair from a disease, I didn’t shave it for a part in a play or movie, I didn’t shave it because my mother has a disease and I’m supporting her and I didn’t shave it to make a point. I shaved my head because my hair is hot and cumbersome. That’s it.
Now, I was semi-prepared for society to view me differently, but I wasn’t prepared for what happened next.
I consider myself a strong, independent person who doesn’t let the opinions of others affect how I dress or perceive myself… but I have noticed a shift in my self-perception. I’ve always been a feminine person. I love dresses and bows, but since I’ve shaved my head I’ve been wearing dresses and skirts almost exclusively and I’ve been wearing more makeup than I ever have. About three weeks in I realized it was taking more time for me to get ready now than when I had hair. I started paying attention to my internal dialogue during my morning routine. I realized I had become self-conscious about my femininity and was using skirts and makeup to “prove” to the world that yes, I was still a girl. And all this had happened without my noticing. I had bought into the idea that hair somehow defines a girl… and a girl without hair must be a ‘butch lesbian’.
Which just isn’t me.

I think, at this point in our world, we’ve got a really confused idea of the way that gender and sexuality work. And we’ve created this really superfluous sort of binary in the way we think about gender. I identify as queer because I don’t identify with that. I think that makes us less whole as people. I don’t need to be assigned to what it is I can do or who I can love. When I say I’m queer, I’m saying that I think human beings are amazing and that love is an honor and an opportunity and a fragile thing, a fragile process, in which there is no room for doubt or shame or hatred. - Ezra Miller

Being feminine is being desired and hated at the same time. A feminine body or mind is expected to be open and receiving to everything from others’ emotional baggage to sexual fantasies of total strangers. At the same time, receptivity (not that this defines femininity by any means) is considered weak and inferior. The result of this is often violence. Femininity is to be present for other’s needs and then destroyed for its perceived weaknesses.
Being feminine and of color is especially dangerous. Not just because we are a walking target for racist, stereotyped sexual fantasies but because so often we are blamed for being that.

Quote
do you remember the first time you were called annoying?
how your breath stopped short in your chest
the way the light drained from your eyes, though you knew your cheeks were ablaze
the way your throat tightened as you tried to form an argument that got lost on your tongue.
your eyes never left the floor that day.
you were 13.
you’re 20 now, and i still see the light fade from your eyes when you talk about your interests for “too long,”
apologies littering every other sentence,
words trailing off a cliff you haven’t jumped from in 7 years.
i could listen to you forever, though i know speaking for more than 3 uninterrupted minutes makes you anxious.
all i want you to know is that you deserve to be heard
for 3 minutes
for 10 minutes
for 2 hours
forever.
there will be people who cannot handle your grace, your beauty, your wisdom, your heart;
mostly because they can’t handle their own.
but you will never be
and have never been
“too much.”
"this started as something completely different, but everything comes back to you, doesn’t it?" - tyler ford (via jesusfuckmechrist)
