This one time I was Milan and I’m literally around multi-millionaires and billionaires at this dinner and Dita Von Teese gets on stage and she gets buck naked and she spins around in a big martini glass and everyone clapped for her. And it’s bullshit. It’s not fair that it’s OK for her to do it because she doing it for rich white people but you know I was in like, the hood, and I did what I had to do to survive… and I constantly get ridiculed.

from the Tamms Ten Year exhibit at Saic, where inmates from Tamms supermax prison could submit requests for their photos to be altered/produced in some way to show a different reality than them living behind bars. here is one: “I would like my own picture done with an alternate background from the IDOC.com picture. I have no pictures of myself to give my friends & family. It would mean a great deal to me. If this is not able to be done then I’ll leave the picture for you to decide. If you can place my picture on another background, nothing too much please. Something simple like a blue sky with clouds or a sunset in the distance would be fine.” — why do we continue to imprison those who need healing? how foolish of us— we ALL need healing yet we continue to place people behind bars for their own “good” to punish them. a system of punishment & oppression will NEVER create change.
