(click on the image above to enlarge the picture!) I have seen various photographic recreations of Rosie the Riveter - all modeled by white women. Yet I'd never seen an Indian version. And I thought to myself, "I'm gonna make one!" One of my family members, who lives in India, helped me with the translation of "We Can Do It!" in Hindi. The model is me, the photographer is me, and I wore a

I've constantly been attacked by trolls on the Internet, so I thought it would be cool to assemble a bunch of the most common (and yet the most ridiculously absurd) attack phrases that I've gotten from trolls. I am ugly, I am fat, I am a slut, I am a dumb bitch, I am not really deaf, I am a terrorist, I am a Nazi, I am just like a dictator. So, I wanted to use a Meme-Generator style photo series

by Sabina England (Written for and republished on Dark Chaos) Everytime someone goes to McDonald’s for lunch and brings the greasy bag back to work to sit at the table and eat, the smell is so strong and pungent, it makes me gag, it makes me want to vomit, and I want to run outside of the building to take in the fresh air. The smell is foul and it reminds me of rotten burger meat left sitting

The image of your face runs through my veins Your eyes, hazel and bright, burnt in my mind I pray for you to glance upon me and bless me With your divine smile, your illuminance.

free verse written by Sabina England September 2011 GIF artwork by Princess Hijab My piece addresses Islamophobia and anti-Muslim racism. The piece explores the concept of the racist word "Islamofascism" which was coined by neo-cons to encourage Islamphobia and racism against Muslims, Arabs, Middle Easterns, and South Asians. The very word "Islamofascism" is an attack on ordinary Muslims

For all my brown sisters out there who suffer from some nasty effects of the patriarchy, whether it be some stupid shit or something serious. Pleaze note that the concept of 'family honor' has nothing to do with girls being abused, beaten, or killed, like the idiotic white western media claims. 'Family Honor' is about the old-fashioned sexist idea of being a 'proper' South Asian female. FAMILY

Bollywood Bloodbath! There's a dumb tradition in Hindi cinema that once a successful actress gets married, she must give up acting and devote all her time to the family, no matter how famous or successful she is.

I made the video because I was bored and wanted to experiment with 8-bit. Growing up as a young lass in the 1980s, my brother and I always loved playing games on the Atari 2600 console, and sometimes I got to play the Commodore 64 (although we never owned any games or consoles because we were shit poor as kids).

Hello, everyone. Last week, a Deaf Native American man, John T. Williams, was murdered by a Seattle cop. You can read more on the petition I've created. I've also made a video (which is in ASL, closed captioning is also available). Please watch my video and sign the petition. Pass the link to all Native Americans, Deaf people, and anyone else who cares about social justice. Thank you.

This represents two sides of humanity's relationship with Allah/Goddess/God/Lord/Dios/Elohim/Ram, etc, etc, etc... This piece is NOT an attack on Allah, but rather presents people's feelings toward Allah. Sometimes we feel despair and beg Allah for help, sometimes we are angry at Allah and curse at him for bad things that happen to us. Take it or leave it. Allahu Akbar / Allahu Fuckbar!!!Love

Inspired by all the hateful, racist, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, homophobic, sexist bigots out there who think their “God” loves them and rejects everyone else. I used the Islamic concept of “soul waiting” for Judgement Day. if I ain't mistaken from my studies, there are Hadiths which narrate that all souls are being held in their graves until Judgement Day arrives. I used a prominent “Christian”
