He was injured in the blast and was running away like everyone else. But a bystander thought that was suspicious and tackled him. Police grilled him and ransacked his apartment. The new York post calls him a suspect immediately. Drudgereport links it under a screaming headline. World media pick it up. Everyone thinks he’s behind it. But. It’s. Just. Not. True.

I like how an innocent, injured, and scared man was tackled by bystanders, taken into custody, and defamed in the international media just for his skin color and his audacity to run from a fucking bombing and this warrants one tiny paragraph in an article about how “vigilant” they’re being in their investigation.

This is post-racial Amerikkka! 

god I can’t imagine how terrifying that must have been for that guy. trauma upon trauma upon trauma.

white people this is why nobody trusts you

oh my god…the poor thing.

In which I address some critiques of my poem.

Thanks to everyone for being such a critical audience. I hope this video is illuminating and/or thought-provoking.

I thought this was a good response to the criticism surrounding her piece (which I love, along with Harry Potter).

theatlantic: In Focus: Syria in Ruins While much of the world’s attention focuses on a possible war with North Korea, the war currently being fought in Syria grinds on. March of 2013 was a month of grim milestones in Syria. It marked two years since the start of hostilities; the number of war refugees passed one million; and it was was the bloodiest month to date, with more than 6,000 people killed. Neither the pro-Assad forces, nor the group of rebels opposing them have gained much ground recently, and little or no progress has been made by international agencies to halt the bloodshed. The following photographs come from across Syria, taken over the past six weeks, showing just some of the devastation in Aleppo, Deir al-Zor, Homs, Deraa, Idlib, and Damascus. See more.

From Manali to Leh-Ladakh

I keep coming across photographs from my trip to Leh-Ladakh, about 2 years ago. Until now I hadn’t realised that I was ignoring the mountains. I think it was because the beautiful large skies were drawing most of my attention. It’s a bit unfair (and, quite stupid) to look away from the vast blue, but once they were out, I could see some a lot of different (and yet ironically similar) interesting patterns in the snow and ice. I’ve spent quite a lot of time on these pictures and hopefully I will bump into some more soon.

Hope you enjoy them.

So the White House released their April Fool’s joke, a video with a kid president, which would be pretty unremarkable except this kid KILLS IT. It’s like a minute long, just watch it.

“I think I’m stuck.”

Today in the only April Fool’s joke we’ll post on this blog (well, barring this one, probably).

I need more of this amazing child in my life.
