So, last weekend was Pride weekend.  I celebrated... a birthday.  Because of Pride, the city's tranist was INSANE.  But I had a good time, drank too much, and spent Sunday recovering.

But that is not why I post.

I post to thank serialbathera for the awesome Little Mermaid statue icons she made.  The Little Mermaid sits in Copenhagen Harbor, and her face is so beautifully sad.

I post to rec some freaking awesome songs.

See below the cut for awesomeness!!!!

Anywho, it doth approach midnight, so I'ma head to bed.  Night my lovies!!!!

Sometimes, in an attempt to gain sympathy for a cause, images of death and deprivation are shown. Green Day did a cover of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" for an album as a part of Amnesty International's campaign to save Dafur.

What's different about this video is it's chillingly stark nature, filmed in black and white. It doesn't show images of Dafur, but shows clips of survivors talking about what they survived. Just looking at people saying "My father was killed in front of me" with a dead, accepting look just... it killed me. I started crying, which I don't do often. Here's the link.
