Indigenous Peoples Launch New Occupation on Belo Monte Dam Site
Altamira, Brazil – Some 200 indigenous people affected by the construction of large hydroelectric dams in the Amazon launched an occupation today on one of the main construction sites of the Belo Monte dam complex on the Xingu River in the Brazilian Amazon. The group demands that the Brazilian government adopt effective legislation on prior consultations with indigenous peoples regarding projects that affect their lands and livelihoods. As this has not happened, they are demanding the immediate suspension of construction, technical studies and police operations related to dams along the Xingu, Tapajos and Teles Pires rivers. Shock troops of the military police were awaiting indigenous protestors when they arrived at the Belo Monte dam site, but they were unable to impede the occupation.
The indigenous protestors include members of the Juruna, Kayapó, Xipaya, Kuruaya, Asurini, Parakanã, Arara tribes from the Xingu River, as well as warriors of the Munduruku, a large tribe from the neighboring Tapajós river basin. The indigenous peoples are joined by fishermen and local riverine communities from the Xingu region. Initial reports indicate that approximately 6,000 workers at one of the main Belo Monte construction sites, Pimental, have ceased operations as a result of the protest. The occupation, according to the indigenous communities, will continue indefinitely or until the federal government meets their demands.
“Our forest and our river are one of the last natural heritages of Brazil. It’s sad to think: why are there so many dams planned on only one river?” Said Saw Exebu, spokesperson for the general chief of the Munduruku.”We don’t want this to happen on our lands. We don’t want dams built in our home, the Tapajós.”
Occupations against the Belo Monte dam complex and mobilizations against other Amazonian dams have become increasingly commonplace. Construction on Belo Monte has been halted on at least seven occasions over the last year due to the efforts of affected indigenous communities and fishermen to call attention to the failures of the Norte Energia dam building consortium and government agencies to comply with the project’s mandated environmental and social conditions. On March 21st, approximately 100 indigenous peoples, riverbank dwellers (ribeirinhos) and small farmers expelled dam workers and occupied the Pimental site, maintained by the Belo Monte Construction Consortium (CCBM). Additionally, recent strikes and protests by dam workers have created additional unrest at CCBM construction sites.
YESSSS!!!!
Sorry it’s not art but it’s really important.

ACAB RADIO
I started this show thing on the school radio, and the first show airs at 1pm (CST) today. It’s just internet radio right now because we have shitty funding, but if you’re free or able to listen to the internet around then it’d be neat if you tuned in. This link (or the title of this post) will open in itunes for you:

~thanks babez.
this week’s from 1-1:45pm
Patriarchy is women feeling forced to write that they’re “taken”(even when they’re not) on social networking sites to reduce the number of creeps hitting on them on the internet
Or having to say “I have a boyfriend” when you get hit on by a creep IRL because you know they won’t take “i’m not interested” for an answer. Patriarchy is men respecting a man who isn’t even there and his ‘property’ more than a woman and her wishes
I JUST HAD TO DO THIS. AGAIN.
ALL OVER MY FACEBOOK.
Trying to just keep my tumblr to posts of things I make but this post has rung too true for me, especially over the past couple of months.
I hate that I go to shows as often as I can and genuinely want to make friends with people (because friends are cool) and over half the time I have to look for my boyfriend and hang by him for the rest of the evening after a 5 min talk with a dude stranger who thinks me smiling and being nice is an invitation for more than that.

HEARING RICH PEOPLE TALK IN AN ECONOMICS CLASS MAKES ME WANT TO RIP MY HAIR OUT AND PUNCH FACES
POOR PEOPLE ARE NOT LAZY YOU FUCKING DINGUS.
I make bad cartoons in spanish class now
because I’ve learned enough words to do so
and that’s how I’ve decided measure my progress.
and Daniel will be there to make them better
“No me gustarás cuando estoy enojado.
(I’m so glad I’ve learned how to say this now)
Beemo is one of my favorite bands to be in but (unfortunately) we never ever play shows. We got asked to play one on February 8th and I am so fucking excited. Here’s a peek.
beemo! yay fun.
just found a recording of a song
I totally forgot I wrote last year.
ahahahaha
it’s called birdman.
Every time I think about writing something
real personal I think about bagels instead.
That’s a lie. But a bagel and cream
cheese does sounds pretty perfect right about now.
Anyway, depression feels like having two broken legs
in your brain. It’s hard to get around sometimes. A lot of times.
Which can make being a person even harder than
it already is. Total bummer.
I’m going to start making more stuff.
That’ll be good.
