You don’t have to feel responsible for the actions of anybody who isn’t you.

The color of your skin should not dictate how you’re treated.

If you feel some sort of obligation to let people be unpleasant to you because you’re more privileged than them, you are not compassionate, you are a doormat.

Fifth-grader suspended at overnight nature camp for bringing Swiss Army knife - Utah CCW Carry

In early April, Braden Bandermann’s class set off on Garden Gate Elementary School’s annual, week-long pilgrimage for fifth-graders to Marin Headlands, just north of San Francisco.

Before leaving, Braden did what any Silicon Valley 10-year-old faced with the perils of nature might do: He packed his trusty Swiss Army knife. As any camper knows, the multi-tool device is nothing if not versatile. Braden’s particular model contains a can opener, tweezers, a toothpick, a nail file, a tiny pair of scissors and a small blade.

The little blade landed the boy in big trouble.

“They called me,” explained Tony Bandermann, Braden’s father. “They said, ‘You have to come and get him. He has a weapon. He needs to be suspended or possibly expelled.’”

“Don’t act like you did the righteous thing by falling on your sword. You are being allowed to resign and retire with full benefits… In the private sector you would have been fired on the spot and possibly arrested.”

- Rep. Reed during the IRS Congressional Hearings 5/17/13 (via americas-liberty)

Stafford Lane

Artist Ed Fairburn has recently come out with new works that live somewhere between sculptures and drawings. He’s still using traditional ink to draw on maps but now he’s cutting and layering maps to create incredibly intriguing works.
