pickAxe / SD / 1999 / 94 Minutes / “An eclectic mix of activists take a stand to protect an old growth [… more] forest from logging at Warner Creek in the Willamette National Forest of Oregon, blockading the logging road and repelling the State Police. Over months a community builds around the illegal blockade as it develops into the Cascadia Free State and similar actions spread across the region. Years after its release, Pickaxe has become a classic document of the potential for grassroots direct action to achieve victory against the forces of both government and big business. Lovingly crafted by the participants themselves, the film expertly presents every moment, from confrontation to celebration.”
-I highly recommend this film, it’s free to watch and very captivating :)
We challenge all of the GOP Presidential Candidates & All Republican / Tea Party members of Congress to PROVE that their sudden politicizing of birth control is NOT a Women’s Rights issue by passing legislation that prevents Men from getting Erectile Dysfunction drugs or penile enhancements unless:
- They are married
- Can pass a fertility test
- Are of an age where they can raise a child
Reblog this if you’d like to see The GOP treat men the same way they treat women.

This is one of my favorite movies, Phoolan Devi was a child bride from the lowest caste in India, she escaped and her family saw this as shameful, she went to jail, was beaten, raped, and sold out to a bandit clan. Her story is powerful and moving, her revenge absolute. If you ever need inspiration, here it is. While she herself disapproved of the movie, being as it’s been a bit romanticized, it’s still a great story, she also has a biography that is available.

I don’t recommend this book to anyone unless you are already against pornography and want more reasons to solidify your opinion because trust me, this book is chock full of shit that leans on the side of disturbing.
“Naked Ambition” contains excerpts of women in the pornography industry…
Highly disturbing.
”We were discussing homosexuality because of an allusion to it in the book we were reading, and several boys made comments such as, “That’s disgusting.” We got into the debate and eventually a boy admitted that he was terrified/disgusted when he was once sharing a taxi and the other male passenger made a pass at him.
The lightbulb went off. “Oh,” I said. “I get it. See, you are afraid, because for the first time in your life you have found yourself a victim of unwanted sexual advances by someone who has the physical ability to use force against you.” The boy nodded and shuddered visibly.
“But,” I continued. “As a woman, you learn to live with that from the time you are fourteen, and it never stops. We live with that fear every day of our lives. Every man walking through the parking garage the same time you are is either just a harmless stranger or a potential rapist. Every time.”
The girls in the room nodded, agreeing. The boys seemed genuinely shocked.
“So think about that the next time you hit on a girl. Maybe, like you in the taxi, she doesn’t actually want you to.””
