okay time to get a bit political on your asses.
some of you know my background as a feminist activist and member of anti-censorship group FAC, and editor of the anthology tales from the clit that was published way back when some of you were in diapers...still, alot of the book is VERY RELEVANT - especially when women like PUSSY RIOT are put in jail for months on end.
and more of their backstory snipped from the amnesty site:
The three women, all in their twenties, are alleged to have donned neon balaclavas and performed as part of Pussy Riot at this gig in February. But they are allegations only - Pussy Riot is a collective identity; the need for the women to cover their faces indicative of the hostile treatment they've received from Moscow's authorities.
and finally - if you don't want to support them for anything else - at least because they wear NEON balaclavas!
thanks.
(will probably cross-post this)
ps - how the fuck do i get a video in here? am failing miserably...
