These protests happened in the Golan Heights (Detroit’s partnership region) two months before Chaely and I went to Israel. We drove through this Druze village (shown in picture 3) on the way to go rafting in the Jordan River. None of the Israelis said a word about it. Israel is a beautiful country (see photo 22). If you don’t want to read all of the captions, the ones on photos 12 and 34 sum up the reason for the “protests”.
The wall between Israel and Palestine is not to keep Palestinians out, it is so Israel can pretend things on the other side do not exist and at the same time it serves as a symbol of intimidation. Commonly Palestinians reply with art and poetry as seen above.
I would love to live here.
This is what Tiberias looks like when you are having a dance party on the Sea of Galilee, only a bit more fuzzy after a few Cape Cods with Sprite.

I always chose the haunted castle.
I usually chose the blue and red crosshatch or the dark blue fish.
Colorful conch all the way

I’m sorry to report that Duke passed away tonight. He stuck with us through kidney and heart failure. He was a sweetheart, and a loyal companion. He was my best friend.
Over the last couple weeks his appetite dwindled, and Amy and I gave him his food and pills via feeding syringe. He still wanted…
Horrible news for the doggie community. Duke’s blog was by far my favorite, he always made me smile. The world will miss that little pup :-(

One of the few charities I continuously give to every holiday season when my privilege guilt creeps up on me.

I ran into the night
‘Cause it’s all I had
My feet swept past the midnight
Where the reeds grow wild
I looked into the sky
Felt the ages collide
And the wind
I heard it call my name
Said, “girl you are the chosen one
You’ll make history
So, go, go rally the men
And make them listen
And you will feel the tides turn for you
You will read the eyes of your enemies”
With that, that voice was gone
And I stood alone
Had I received a message
From beyond the stone?
And why would it be me?
I have nothing of worth
Were the voices just my vanity?
Said, “girl you are the chosen one
You’ll make history
So, go, go rally the men
And make them listen
And you will feel the tides turn for you
You will read the eyes of your enemies?
And what if I woke up tomorrow not afraid
I could decide to trust the voices and take courage
What if I woke up tomorrow being brave
I could decide to trust the universe, take courage
I could decide and what if I tried
For a moment I could feel it
I could feel it, I could feel it
For a moment I was everyone
Who had never been quiet
How would I spend my whole life
Knowing the message
If I knew they made it through to me
I could not run and hide
And I know everyone wants to be remembered
And I know everyone wants to be a star
But who will believe that they’re worth it?
Who will believe they’ve got the right
To stand up and be heard?

What They did not want you to ever find out is that your generation, the generation born between 1980-1995, actually outnumbers the Baby Boomers. They knew that if you ever turned your eye towards political reform, you could change the world.
They tried to keep you sated on vapid television shows and vapid music. They cut off your education and fed you brain candy. They took away your music and gave you Top Ten pop stations. They cut off your art and replaced it with endless reality shows for you to plug into, hoping you would sit quietly by as They ran the world. I think They thought you were too dumb to notice.
Indeed, I thought They had won.
But I watched you occupy the capital of Wisconsin. I see you today as you occupy Wall Street. And I see a spark, a glimmer of the glorious new age that is yours. A changing of the guard, a guard that has stood for entirely too long and needs your young legs to take his place.
I watch you turn away from what is easy and stand up for what is right. I see you understand we as a society are only as strong as our weakest link. I see you wise beyond your years. And I am proud. Give ‘em hell, kids. You are beautiful.Can this be reblogged everywhere please.

Always reblog.
Important as fuck
