All I want for my birthday is for folks to pray for PEACE in the mideast.
Encouraging to know that activism is alive and well in the bay area? #1, the aggressive and speedy response by APIAs on the internet in response to the gross error in cultural sensitivity and judgement by Abercrombie & Fuck.
#2: While driving in to SF this morning, I spotted two guerilla activists signs posted up on top of the billboards that usually host narcisistic and trite advertising for brands like The Gap or Ann Taylor or um..MLife.
One said “US should stop Aid to Israel” and the other said “Rally in Dolores Park 11:00″
(My memory is pretty bad so forgive me if I misquote).
I’m not much for politics and I can not demonize one side of the war or the other. I will say though, that when people cannot see sunlight for fear of being shot, when people, like you and me, who should be doing something insignificant and droll like watching TV or knitting, or getting drunk, or what not, are strapping themselves to vehicles of death and destruction because their emotions have become so taut with the conditions of their lives, then all that a little girl can do, thousands of miles away, is to pray. A lot.
Say you’ll pray for peace.
