I saw her speak in 1999. Her talk made me interested in being part of the Prison Abolition Movement and fight against things like the Prison Industrial Complex.

My stepmother has been a graduate professor of art at Tech for over a decade. When I take my yearly trip home back to the States in the summer I fly from Dubai to Lubbock to be with my dad and her. The story's my stepmom tells me about fighting against the conservative establishment are mind boggling, and this is the…
Today in people are idiots, Texas Tech's Republicans are petitioning to ban activist and scholar Dr. Angela Davis…
The same assholes who jabber on about the government interfering with a parent's right to determine what is right for their children's health certainly have no problem with telling a woman what is right for health and well-being.
WHAT THE SHIT IS THIS SHIT???
And also, as Jia points out, you can't help but feel they're actually using the implied sexual harassment of the cover graphic as some sort of titillating visual. Like, ooh, we got your attention with this - now let me tell you how the exact behavior we just encouraged is harmful for women.
"The anonymity of the Internet has proved relatively more menacing to women."
Pretty tone deaf to run an article about sexism in tech with sections titled "Gang-Bang Interviews" and "Asking For It".
Let's be honest here. If he had put 4 or 5 bullets in her he would have been within his rights. After all, he probably thought his life was in danger. She is an anti-police radical. She was making visible an anti-police statement. Also, she could be a Muslim atheist jihadist. There is no evidence of this, but it is…
YES I AM SCREAMING FOUR WOMEN ARE GOING TO BE IN A MOVIE AND THEY ARE NOT DANCING ON TOP OF A BAR

Head to the public library. Hope Jake Gyllenhaal is there.
In case you haven't heard, the chunk of America where most of the media lives is about to be buried in snow by an…
And if it isn't illegal (impersonation laws? Do they cover internet impersonation yet?), it absolutely should be because it's clear it's not intended to be a parody account, or anything else that's covered by free speech. Just because you have poor self-esteem and a lot of spare time on your hands, it doesn't mean you…
My cousin dis this when we were in high school. This was before myspace and facebook. We attended the same school so she'd do stuff like tell people that me and her were related, which we are, but she'd do a lot of stuff like talk shit about someone or be involved in less than honorable dealings and then tell people…
I'm pretty sure I would get the cops involved at the point when strangers started showing up at my house/dorm/job/wherever. Using someone else's pictures is weird. Sending people to their actual location because you happen to have it is fucking dangerous. One of these girls is going to end up getting attacked by some…
I would have stuck my fingers in my vagina and painted fuck you with period blood on the wall, but I'm an animal.
OK, what the holy Fuck is it going to take for the general populace of this Goddamn country to decide the police state and jail-complex is utterly out of its fucking mind? Holy Christ I know there's a chunk that will be all tough and say "what do you expect, she's going to visit a felon/criminal," but seriously, it's…
