This is a great photo. I always though Ali was a jerk, though.

Ali turns 70 today.
One of the best sports photographs ever.

CHRISTMAS TREE FROM RECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLES IN MACEDONIA FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD
Even though Facebook is much more popular social network, than Twitter, here in Macedonia, the Twitter community has some beautiful minded people, with great ideas and views, almost, like every single user is handpicked.
Well, this small community, 2 weeks ago was overwhelmed by the Christmas decoration in Lithuania and what this “tree” represents. The idea of making their own recycled Christmas tree was spreading like crazy on Twitter.
The point this community intended to make with this action, was not to make, just a cute Christmas tree with plastic bottles, but to make a “monument” that will boost the sense of people, that - we must save this planet and that we got too much comfort with our careless urge to subconsciously destroy it.
A Christmas tree was the best theme around the holiday season. In this period we spend much of our time at home, with out loved ones, on our rich tables with food, where people often don’t actually care what are they doing with the packing of the supplies they waste. This carelessness is costing us much pollution.Millions of un-recycled plastic bottles end up as ordinary garbage.
The Macedonian Twitter community used the hashtag #елкамк (#christmastreemk) and managed to mobilize over 100 people in few days.
There was a miniTwitup to plan the whole event.
The spot for the tree was picked in the City Park, a list with the necessary supplies was made and the twitter architects, made some sketches and explained how the construction will be performed.
A week later, day before constructing the tree, there was a public action to geather the plastic bottles on few spots around the city, where many people, also outside of Twitter, contributed.
The next day, the day of constructing the tree, there were around 100 peoplecoming and going, everyone where contributing in some way, there was abeautiful atmosphere and the end result was a green, gorgeously looking, crystal like tree, made of more that 1200 plastic bottles.
There was a great deal of media attention. This achievement was in the newspapers, the 8 o’clock news and many people were talking about this on the social media.
The recognition of the public was mainly because this Christmas tree happened to be a spontaneous expression of people towards the desired values in our society.
More photos of the event HERE and a BIG THANKS to all the people that contributed in any way possible.
Cheers
Happy holidays people and Think Green

“Excuse me while I throw this down, I’m old and cranky and tired of hearing the idiocy repeated by people who ought to know better.
Real women do not have curves. Real women do not look like just one thing.
Real women have curves, and not. They are tall, and not. They are brown-skinned, and olive-skinned, and not. They have small breasts, and big ones, and no breasts whatsoever.
Real women start their lives as baby girls. And as baby boys. And as babies of indeterminate biological sex whose bodies terrify their doctors and families into making all kinds of very sudden decisions.
Real women have big hands and small hands and long elegant fingers and short stubby fingers and manicures and broken nails with dirt under them.
Real women have armpit hair and leg hair and pubic hair and facial hair and chest hair and sexy moustaches and full, luxuriant beards. Real women have none of these things, spontaneously or as the result of intentional change. Real women are bald as eggs, by chance and by choice and by chemo. Real women have hair so long they can sit on it. Real women wear wigs and weaves and extensions and kufi and do-rags and hairnets and hijab and headscarves and hats and yarmulkes and textured rubber swim caps with the plastic flowers on the sides.
Real women wear high heels and skirts. Or not.
Real women are feminine and smell good and they are masculine and smell good and they are androgynous and smell good, except when they don’t smell so good, but that can be changed if desired because real women change stuff when they want to.
Real women have ovaries. Unless they don’t, and sometimes they don’t because they were born that way and sometimes they don’t because they had to have their ovaries removed. Real women have uteruses, unless they don’t, see above. Real women have vaginas and clitorises and XX sex chromosomes and high estrogen levels, they ovulate and menstruate and can get pregnant and have babies. Except sometimes not, for a rather spectacular array of reasons both spontaneous and induced.
Real women are fat. And thin. And both, and neither, and otherwise. Doesn’t make them any less real.
There is a phrase I wish I could engrave upon the hearts of every single person, everywhere in the world, and it is this sentence which comes from the genius lips of the grand and eloquent Mr. Glenn Marla: There is no wrong way to have a body.
I’m going to say it again because it’s important: There is no wrong way to have a body.
And if your moral compass points in any way, shape, or form to equality, you need to get this through your thick skull and stop with the “real women are like such-and-so” crap.
You are not the authority on what “real” human beings are, and who qualifies as “real” and on what basis. All human beings are real.
Yes, I know you’re tired of feeling disenfranchised. It is a tiresome and loathsome thing to be and to feel. But the tit-for-tat disenfranchisement of others is not going to solve that problem. Solidarity has to start somewhere and it might as well be with you and me.”
"
Hanne Blank (via thestoutorialist

Exactly—real women are all women. Even models are real women! They may not be average women, or the mean woman, but they’re still real. There needs to be some term that expresses the wide variety of womanhood, and how we want to see that represented in media, and not just models or actors of a certain particular makeup that we just keep seeing over and over. I want to live in a world where media represents the cornucopia of womanhood, in all it’s forms. And personhood in all its forms. Instead of looking like everyone was stamped out and created in a factory.
There is no wrong way to have a body.
