    They can't. It comes down to him being brown, Arab and name like Ahmed Mohmad. That's a fact. This is shit I've faced most my life and other people I know too: the browner and forgein you are, the higher you'll be punished for non-sense shit. This is a fact of life. And I'm somewhat glad my parents changed my name to something more American: one less strike against ne

    http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/kleinfeld-refugee-memes-debunking-846 Can we stop using the word migrant and start using refugees? Because that's what they fucking are. The word migrant is so problematic because of the way it gets used: to make people with their own stories and experiences seem like a mindless, faceless horde that will kill, rape and pillage Europe; that will have a negative effect on the economy--which they do fuck not; and are taking away rights and privileges from good white ol'Europe folk. Fuckin' hell. Edit: http://www.aljazeera.com/blogs/editors-blog/2015/08/al-jazeera-mediterranean-migrants-150820082226309.html

    Clevo and Youngstown people are crazy. I always loved and dreaded going to those areas for shows, especially Youngtstown, because there were high chances you were going to get mugged and a fight was going to break out at a show. Once you get past that, their shows were never boring. Ohio is such a weird place for music. in other news http://www.thestranger.com/features/feature/2015/08/26/22755273/the-more-i-learn-about-breast-milk-the-more-amazed-i-am

    - The meds I'm on got changed. They took one away and downgraded the strength for the other one. Now I'm on 2mgs of Abilify and it's doing wonders! No more anger issues, suicidal thoughts or depression. Hufuckingzzah! - Also. Also! Going to be seeing some old friends in the following days and I'm insanely excited to see them. - I'm worried about one close friend because his retirement checks are not coming in, he's late on rent, and most of the money that he will be getting will be going straight to bills. I'm going to be helping him with groceries, coffee and such. He's also getting fucked in an other way because of the arena coming in--what a piece of shit: gentrifying and ruining Sac--his rent is going to be raised later this year and he's going to have to find a new place to live. Fucking hell.
