When a marginalized group is asked for peaceful protesting, what is really being asked is for them to “protest” in a way that those with privilege can actively and happily ignore.

*sticks leg up in air* the rise in popularity of podcasts and vines and other such forms of audio storytelling is a cool art form *backflips* but every new art form leaves disabled people scrambling for ways to access the stories because abled folks forget that not everyone can hear and not everyone can understand audio-based arts *does the splits* so please fuckign caption your vines and subtitle your videos and provide transcripts of your podcasts

And, no, auto-generated craptions do not count because they are too unreliable and inaccurate. These need to be human-edited captions, thanks.

THIS IS SUCH GREAT NEWS 

Somalia is going through a terrible famine right now and millions of Somalians are going each day without proper food and water. People are traveling by foot for MILES just to to find water…..Thankfully, vine star Jerome Jarre is using his platform and money to help the Somalians in need by flying to the country and providing tons of food and water. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE THIS! 

However the issue still goes to corrupted government who takes the aid to control the citizens freedom

to my understanding, that can only happen on a practical level if they go through the UN, which this group didn’t. they collected funds through Ben Stiller’s charity, bought the food themselves and had it shipped directly through Turkish Airlines.
