riannafinch: talkfittome: riannafinch: The Falling Man - Richard Drew 2001 That’s fucked up. No one should be posting shit like this. I get that it has to do with 9-11, but this man is committing sucide because he thought he could never make it out of there alive and a lot of people did this on that day. We should let his decision be his decision and not display his last few seconds of his life like this. He should be know as a father, a son, a brother, and a friend not a man falling…. that’s just my opinion. To be clear, this man isn’t committing suicide. When the North tower was hit, the plane took out an entire floor, with the hundreds of people on the floors above trapped and burning alive. There was absolutely no way rescue these people, and most died of lack of oxygen before the tower even fell. So do NOT say this man, or anyone who jumped that day, committed suicide.They were victims of terrorism. I suppose you could have your opinion that it’s disrespectful to post this. If that’s the case, don’t post it on your blog. I have always felt this photo was more powerful than most of the ones of the towers burning because it’s not noisy or messy, it’s one man. You can lose the impact of hundreds of individuals in a statistic. PREACH it, Finch! It’s important to remember the individual lives that were affected by the attack, not just the statistics.

The Falling Man - Richard Drew

2001

That’s fucked up. No one should be posting shit like this. I get that it has to do with 9-11, but this man is committing sucide because he thought he could never make it out of there alive and a lot of people did this on that day. We should let his decision be his decision and not display his last few seconds of his life like this. He should be know as a father, a son, a brother, and a friend not a man falling…. that’s just my opinion.

To be clear, this man isn’t committing suicide. When the North tower was hit, the plane took out an entire floor, with the hundreds of people on the floors above trapped and burning alive. There was absolutely no way rescue these people, and most died of lack of oxygen before the tower even fell. So do NOT say this man, or anyone who jumped that day, committed suicide.They were victims of terrorism.

PREACH it, Finch! It’s important to remember the individual lives that were affected by the attack, not just the statistics.

“When Beethoven passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Beethoven was buried. Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave. Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate. When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, “Ah, yes, that’s Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, being played backwards.” He listened a while longer, and said, “There’s the Eighth Symphony, and it’s backwards, too. Most puzzling.” So the magistrate kept listening; “There’s the Seventh… the Sixth… the Fifth…” Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, “My fellow citizens, there’s nothing to worry about. It’s just Beethoven decomposing.”

fattypolitic: This is a Sarah Robles appreciation post: because dickwad Nike and Ralph Lauren can’t be fucked to consider strong, athletic women over 130 lbs. because her proud mama didn’t get an Olympic jacket. because despite being the highest ranked weight lifter in the USA, she had hell finding a sponser because she doesn’t look like “tinkerbelle”. because the Olympics is about athletic ability. This is also a “fuck you” to fat shamers who would look at her without knowing anything about her and label her “unhealthy”.
