i'd say this is a pretty fun and unique way to contribute to a charitable organization:
"The Temporary Tattoo Project is a creative philanthropic project collaborating with 6 top tattoo artists to create temporary tattoos that will be sold to raise money for FLYING KITES' Child Sponsorship Program. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Flying Kites. Each artist was paired with a Flying Kites orphan in Kenya, still in need of sponsorship, who inspired limited edition art to be showcased on your skin."
visit the site to learn more about the organization, check out the tats, meet the artists and of course, the orphaned children this project benefits:
www.thetemporarytattooproject.…
You can also purchase tattoos on their etsy site:
www.etsy.com/shop/TTTP
i got the kite
. hope you find one you like, or just make a contribution. or spread the word. or whatever, it's your life. do your thang!
cheers,

standing up to intolerance
6 min read
hey guys,
i have an odd request. so i know a lot's going on in the world right now. a lot of violence and injustice. and i think it's important to stand against intolerance in all its forms.
in case you haven't heard, an american department store, jc penney, has hired comedienne, ellen degeneres, as their spokesperson. a right-wing conservative organization called one million moms, has aggressively insisted that jcp reconsider. the reason for their objection? ellen degeneres is gay.
if this organization can't handle ellen in the occasional commercial spot, it's likely they haven't caught her show. which is a shame because if they did, they'd quickly learn that ellen is one of the most kind-hearted and generous women out there. to quote someone's comment, "picking on ellen is like punching a puppy in the face."
i know these right-wing fanatics have been around for a while, but i always felt they were just fringe groups that no one took seriously. lately though, they're having more sway, and it concerns me. you see, there is another ultra-conservative group called florida family association. this organization has succeeded in intimidating many financial sponsors to back out of programming they felt threatened their "traditional ideologies." one such program they objected to is the learning channel's "all-american muslim."
the goal of this show is to quell the islamo-phobia so rampant in the states by following muslim families of deerborn, michigan during their everyday lives. their hope is to dispel stereotypes by showing how these families deal with a lot of the same issues we do, while raising awareness of the discrimination they face. however ffa voiced their skepticism with this statement: "The show profiles only Muslims that appear to be ordinary folks while excluding many Islamic believers whose agenda poses a clear and present danger to liberties and traditional values that the majority of Americans cherish." what ffa fails to realize is that the reason this show exists is because many americans already hold these xenophobic views. it's time to educate the public that there are muslims that do not jive with these preconceived notions.
in order to discourage funding for this program, ffa pressured lowe's home improvement store to withdraw their advertisement while it aired. sadly, lowe's acquiesced. i was outraged that a corporation would bend to these nutjobs. and i was outraged that someone would have the audacity to intimidate a company for supporting a show that discouraged prejudice. but that's all i felt i could do, be outraged. a friend did post a petition on her facebook page to repudiate lowe's action, which garnered over 43,000 signatures. i signed this petition and posted it on my wall. that's about it.
the success ffa experienced encourages other ultra right-wing groups to bully businesses as well. which brings me back to ellen. i was so disappointed with lowe's, but i am proud that jc penney did not give into omm's aggressive campaign. they stuck by ellen. so to show our collective support for jcp's decision, ellen fans, gay-rights supporters, and ppl who generally disprove of threats and intimidation, liked a facebook page that was created to support ellen and jcp. in just two day's this page received over 130,000 likes! meanwhile, one million mom's page has a little over 43K. ppl are vowing to shop at jcp more often, even assigning sunday as a shop-in day to show their solidarity. there are also fans from other parts of the world. so far, i've seen support from the uk, denmark, spain, and australia.
which brings me to my next point. i plan on doing more in this situation simply because i've had enough of these ultra-conservative groups getting their way. i plan on attending the shop-in and spreading the word. that's where you guys come in. 130K is a lot for two days, but we have ways to go. that is why we're encouraging our international friends to help, especially during the time we get our zzzs . why bother when we're so far ahead in the lead? to quote a few more comments, "it's not a popularity contest. It's about human rights." "People around the world stand up against hatred... spread the word that hate will no longer be tolerated."
i've attached the segment of the show ellen informs viewers of her predicament. witness her awesomeness

and lastly, here is the facebook page, "1 million ppl who support ellen for JCP." if you believe in this cause, kindly like and forward to your friends. we'd really appreciate the help!
