Katniss? Is that you?
After watching “Winter’s Bone” a few weeks ago (highly recommend), I realized something - Jennifer Lawrence plays the same character in “Winter’s Bone” as she does in “The Hunger Games”.
Both Ree and Katniss:
Are young girls - seems like an obvious one but their young age is important as it heightens the difficulty of the challenges they’re facing
Whose mother has mentally checked out
And whose father is missing or gone
So they have to support their families on their own
Which they do by living off the land
In a rural, mountain community
Each is quiet, keeps to herself, and considers herself friendless
Although she underestimates the effect she has on people
A big obstacle arises that threatens their family/a family member
So they embark on a solo quest that could very well kill them
Their rash actions draw attention to them, which increases the danger
Each encounters a male figure who seems to be a threat, or at least an obstacle, but who eventually aids them
They both have to face death and violence
But each is successful, receives a windfall, and returns home
Similar characters, but in veerryyy different contexts
Some of the things that have happened today…
Geraldo Rivera said Trayvon Martin would still be alive if he wasn’t wearing a hoodie. 
And then, when Obama remarked that “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon”, Newt Gingrich called it “disgraceful” because apparently this isn’t a race issue and trying to make it one is “fundamentally wrong”. Yes because if Trayvon had been white he totally still would have been shot, and Geraldo Rivera would still have blamed it on his hoodie. I guess pointing out racism and prejudice is immoral now. Funny, I thought it was the prejudice that was wrong.
And Belvedere posts this rapey ad to their facebook page:
What is wrong with people today? Is the world playing a practical joke on me? Let’s do better tomorrow.

Ra Ra Riot - Winter ‘05
One of the things I like about finals week (there aren’t many, but there are some) is that it gets me listening to music again. Every finals week I end up listening to a couple albums or artists over and over. Right now, it’s Ra Ra Riot’s “The Rhumb Line”.

CHILL LIN: THE TREND OF KONY 2012
in social media has literally gone from everyone mass posting that video and different artsy shots/posters to everyone shitting on Invisible Children as an organization in just a day.
i’ve always been taught that more information is more efficient/better. But people are so quick to switch sides…
I couldn’t agree more. One of the main criticisms of Invisible Children is that they’ve misrepresented the situation in Uganda, and made it seem like the LRA (and Kony in particular) are the sole problem. But all the backlash against Invisible Children seems to be doing the same thing. Invisible Children isn’t completely transparent about their finances, therefore they’re this terrible shady scam.
