A white college student from a private college goes into a poor neighborhood and volunteers four hours a week and that’s considered exemplary. [Whereas] a poor kid who lives in that community and takes care of all the kids in that neighborhood four hours every day is not seen as a volunteer.

A microcosm of one of the fundamental issues with the non-profit industrial complex.

What are you doing coyote?
You can’t ride the subway. 
How did you pay the fare? 
You don’t even have a wallet.

DON’T LISTEN TO THEM COYOTE
YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT
YOU RIDE THAT TRAIN
AND NOT PAY
AND GIVE NO FUCKS

That’s not the subway, that’s the MAX train! What’s up Portland! Fellow Sleater-Kinney geeks will notice that this picture is in the booklet for One Beat, and in fact is where the name of the song “Light Rail Coyote” came from.

I don’t like this expression “First World problems.” It is false and it is condescending. Yes, Nigerians struggle with floods or infant mortality. But these same Nigerians also deal with mundane and seemingly luxurious hassles. Connectivity issues on your BlackBerry, cost of car repair, how to sync your iPad, what brand of noodles to buy: Third World problems. All the silly stuff of life doesn’t disappear just because you’re black and live in a poorer country. People in the richer nations need a more robust sense of the lives being lived in the darker nations. Here’s a First World problem: the inability to see that others are as fully complex and as keen on technology and pleasure as you are. (via miss-quitecontrary)

Lizzy Stewart’s awesome illustration for the Folio Society’s “Mrs Dalloway” has added awesome because it reminds me of a second favourite turn of the century feminist story, “The Yellow Wallpaper”.
