”Hier soir, 24 mars, je circulais sur le trottoir à l’angle des rues Robert-Bourassa/University et Shebrooke.
Je suis seul bien éloigné de la manifestation. Au milieu de nul part, sur le trottoir, deux policiers armés de boucliers et de matraques croisent ma route. Choqué de tout ce que je venais de voir, je marmonne donc à leur intention :
” Vous n’avez pas honte ?”.
Ceux-ci ne m’entendent pas, seulement, un des deux dit à mon intention avec un air relativement sympathique :
” Scuse-moi, je n’ai pas entendu, rapproches-toi que j’entende ta question.”
Et moi je me rapproche et je leur dis d’un air sans hargne mais seulement interrogatif:
” N’avez-pas honte, parfois, de frapper des manifestants qui sont jeunes et qui, la plupart du temps sont non-violent ?
Voila sa réponse: Un coup de bouclier en plein visage ce qui pulvérise mes deux palettes (dents).
Ces flics n’ont pas daignés me donner leur matricule ou leur nom, préférant se sauver rapidement dans une van du SPVM.
En bref, hier soir, un civil marchant et le trottoir du centre-ville s’est fait attaqué par deux policiers pour une simple question. La répression est puissante et aujourd’hui elle fonctionne car j’ai peur, je suis terrorisé. N’est-ce pas cela du terrorisme ?
S’il vous plaît, partagez.”

On this day March 26th marks my one year anniversary of drawing NC titlecards when one picture was shared by Mr. Doug Walker on his facebook page.

I wanted to show how far I’ve come by re-drawing that picture as a thank you to everyone who’s supported me this year especially to the NC crew Malcolm Ray, Tamara Lynn Chambers and Doug Walker for liking my art and my Patreon supporters Andrew Hernandez and Andrew Suydam for supporting me and making this an even better experience. 

Thank you all for such an amazing year xx I’ll see you all next week for that very special review ❤

Saving Face (2012), acid attacks on women in Pakistan

Meanwhile, in America, feminists are complaining about how dress codes are oppressive.

You idiots have never experienced oppression, and pray you never do, because this is what it looks like.

As a South Asian American feminist, let me remind everyone that oppression is not a competition.

Just because we fight one type of sexism doesn’t mean we don’t care about other instances of sexism that don’t affect us directly in our day to day lives.

My heart goes out to this woman and the hundreds of other victims like her. I want to educate people about these kinds of incidents. I support organizations that help women like this.

You may think that dress code issues are trivial, but they are related to a larger issue of women’s bodily autonomy, which affects women’s health and safety.

So please, let’s try to bring awareness and bring about change instead of insulting entire groups of people because they are facing issues that are less scary than the one presented.

“oppression is not a competition”

thank you so much for this wording

Every time someone, usually a guy, complains about feminists not experiencing oppression, I can’t help but see what they are really trying to say.


“This is how men could be treating you, be grateful it’s only as bad as it is now.”


And that’s actually an attribute of abusers, I believe I read somewhere. To compare you to someone being treated worse and tell you you should be grateful you have it so good. It convinces the victim they should be silent in the face of their abuse.


It’s literally an abuse tactic. 


Every time someone says something like, “You […] have never experienced oppression, and pray you never do, because this is what it looks like.” What they are saying is, “shut up, we could treat you worse if we wanted to.”
