David Chinchilla, 15, of Augustus Hawkins High School in South L.A., was suspended for interrupting and cursing at a teacher.

latimes:

An end to zero tolerance for willful defiance in L.A. schools?

California schools have long brought about swift punishments for instances of so-called willful defiance, which have disproportionally led to suspensions of many minority students not just in our home state, but nationwide.

Take the case of Damien Valentine, a Manual Arts Senior High School sophomore fighting against the practice, who says that several such punishments earlier in his school accomplished nothing but setting him back.

So just what is “willful defiance?”

That offense is now widely criticized as an arbitrary catchall for any behavior a teacher finds objectionable, such as repeatedly tapping feet on the floor, refusing to remove a hat or failing to wear the school uniform. It accounted for 48% of 710,000 suspensions issued in California in 2011-12, prompting both state and local efforts to restrict its use in disciplinary actions.

A resolution moving through Los Angeles County would make L.A. Unified the first school district in California to ban suspensions for the aforementioned offenses.

Said Tonna Onyendu of the Liberty Hill Foundation, a Los Angeles nonprofit:

“This will be a transformational shift. Instead of punishing students, we’re going to engage them.”

Read more on the matter in Teresa Watanabe’s report.

climateadaptation:

From Michael Marten’s series, Sea Change, which explores rising sea levels from regular tides and also climate change. His statement:

‘Sea Change’ is a study of the tides round the coast of Britain. The views in each diptych are taken from identical positions at low tide and high tide, usually 6 or 18 hours apart.

I am interested in showing how landscape changes over time through natural processes and cycles. The camera that observes low and high tide side by side enables us to observe simultaneously two moments in time, two states of nature.

Recent landscape photography often focuses on human shaping (and reshaping) of the environment - urbanisation, globalisation, pollution. Even when critical and committed, this approach can emphasise, even glamorise, humankind’s power over nature. I’m interested in rediscovering nature’s own powers: the elemental forces and processes that underlie and shape the planet.

The tides are one of these great natural cycles. I hope these photographs will stimulate people’s awareness of natural change, of landscape as dynamic process rather than static image. Attending to earth’s rhythms can help us to reconnect with the fundamentals of our planet, which we ignore at our peril.

‘Sea Change’ also comments on climate change. The tide floods in and quickly recedes again, but rising sea levels will flood our shores and not recede for thousands or millions of years. Many of the views in these pictures may have disappeared in 100 years’ time.

“You Can’t Be a Princess” | Journalists from ABC’s “What Would You Do?” planted hidden cameras in a Halloween store and filmed shoppers’ reactions to a boy who wanted a princess costume and a girl who wanted a Spiderman costume.

we are policed into our respective gender roles at a very, very young age.

fucking rude-ass moms when i have kids and my daughter wants to be superman or thor or whoever the fuck else then GO AHEAD BABYDOLL or if my son wants to be cinderella or amy pond then HE CAN because being a good parent means making your child HAPPY and letting them do something harmless like wear a costume they wanna wear for halloween the one day of the year you can dress up like somebody else THAT ISNT YOURSELF.

i would slap these fucking women right in their fucking mouths. just TRY sticking your nose where it doesnt belong ladies, just TRY it.

libertyandlibertinage:

hey Internet world- I’m at general hospital currently waiting to talk with the orthopedic surgeon about my knee. I usually don’t ask people outright to help me when i find myself in difficult situations but I’m making an exception.

I’ve missed a week of work from my accident last week and am having trouble coming up with rent this month, not to mention the massive pending medical bills I have not yet paid.

i have this publication, a zine that is 30 full color pages that is available for purchase on my website (WWW.MIKEYBARATTA.COM/STORE) for only $7- that includes the price of shipping as well.

please, if it’s in your power, help me pay rent this month by buying a copy. if you can’t buy one or are one of the very few who already bought one could you reblog this post for maximum circulation? I greatly appreciate your help y’all.

An extremely handsome young man in Australia, who I had the extreme pleasure of knowing during high school (and helped run away from home once, haha) has been following a musical career in Oz for quite some time… This is his FANTASTIC debut album, available for pay-what-you-can on bandcamp:

http://daneadamo.bandcamp.com/album/hope-from-fear

I know he would really appreciate the support! I have been making a determined effort to support independent artists lately, and until I feel I have the support to have something of my own to release, I figure I would send the karma his way.

Thanks to anyone that listens/buys!

theblueboxboy:

Photographer Dina Goldstein’s series “Fallen Princesses“ has actually been around since 2009 but I had never posted the photographs as a complete set before. The project looks at Disney fairy tale princesses and their harshly realistic modern day lifestyles. Seems not everybody lives happily ever after. This project has won several awards, been published internationally in magazines, analyzed by experts in the field of Fairytale literature and studied in High schools and Universities.

Kind of puts a downer on reality. Yes fairy tales are unrealistic but reality can be positive sometimes too..
