We don’t mean to cause a stir, but Christmas is only two weeks away. And we’re guessing that your holiday shopping is far from the finish line. Brace yourself (you’ll catch the pun in a moment), we’ve got it figured out.
This holiday season, use your gifts to make a connection on the opposite side of the world. Purchase a bracelet that creates jobs in Uganda, while educating and inspiring the person who receives it.
Each bracelet is handmade in Uganda and accompanied by an inspiring short film about a child affected by the two decades of conflict who is pursuing their ambitions through Invisible Children’s Visible Child Scholarship Program.
Watch this video with visions of handmade bracelets in Uganda and stop-motion to dance in your head. And shop the Invisible Children Online Store for an array of bracelet colors to accessorize in the new year.
100% of your purchase goes right back to where it came from. A cashmere sweater can’t do that… poor cashmere goats.

The New Racism on Television: this is why i’ll always ask you to be mindful of what you applaud. much damage can come from what we seek for “entertainment” purposes. are you entertained? sure, but at who’s expense?
we all identify ourselves as part of different communities. the black community, the college community, the christian community, the muslim community, the upper east side community… like it or not, you’ve been integrated. we need to indetify ourselves as individuals, yes, but individuals acting on behalf of a community. the words, the actions, the depictions that we put on display can and will either negatively or positively reflect upon your communities.
take it to the bank.
Eeeeeeeee!!!

An animation of comedian eddie izzard talking about his idea of the ‘death star canteen’.
Probably my favorite izzard bit of all time. I’ve watched it…more times than I care to admit.
