Pure inspiration.
The Blk Projek's first planting, which they dedicated to MJ [Rest in Peace], is an example of actions everyone of us can be a part of in our own communities.

Alternative fiction books for children of color

UltravioletUnderground is:

Conscious (sub?) Culture for the Underrepresented Roots of Everything.

We are subcultural alternative soul. We do not follow the way of the masses. We embrace quality art. We embrace conscious activity. We consider other conscious bloggers to be fam. We don't sweat arrogant and obviously insecure 'elitists'. If it's dope, we will wave our technicolor pom-poms. The world is changing. The blogosphere has proven that. The power is once again where it should be... in the minds and hearts of 'the global people'.

Artists and Scribes with the good word
drop intel our way from time to time...

We keep it relatively balanced round these parts for the benefit of the youth that so few have bothered to consider might be watching in recent times...
Naturally art and censorship aren't close friends, and knowing this we aren't ridiculous, but we do frown upon unnecessarily graphic toxins. There's enough of it out there.
We dig the artisans who strive to be creative with the language for reviews, grassroots campaigns, multimedia offerings (incl. cross-promotional offerings) metaphysical articles and etc.

We'd love to connect with our Brothers and Sisters who wield a solid camera and dig conceptual photo stories, create Repurposed/DIY fashions, Wield a fierce illustrating/writing ink or digital pen, and have interest in being part of collective that celebrates the Conscious and Underrepresented through UU, Purple Mag, and other Fly collectives they may wish to co-illuminate in the underground...

We had to replace the link to the last free Reiki organization because it appears they send guilt-prompting letters for donations stating how many healings you've received after a time (usually after three weeks). It was disappointing to us so we have found a few others that could be of use, where the Reiki healing truly comes from the heart. We are also thinking we will remove our previous post recommending them so no one is misled through our site.

Dope quote:
"There are no accidents. nothing is random. There are only acts of an invisible higher power that uses very conceivable means to communicate with us on a moment-by-moment basis. We are spoken to in words, in actions, by the language of nature, numbers, colors and the list goes on and on. We can chose to either learn the language of God or ignore. That is what free will is all about." - TheGarnerCircle (Pr)

"We're in an age where moving forward as a people requires a collective choice to heal the rifts of conditioning imposed upon us in our ancestral past. It won't do to embrace the poisons pumped into the minds and spirits of our community. It's time to rise above the corrupted caricatures painted onto the Black community, and reach within ourselves with self love and respect to embrace the purity of self-defined archetypal consciousness, as its the only consciousness that can hold truth." -UltravioletUnderground.com

Yahoo has absorbed Mybloglog. For this reason, we've left them. Throw Yahoo's name in the search bar at the blog's top left and a couple of posts detailing why should show up. In short, Yahoo, AT&T, Verizon, AOL and others sharing a creepy bed, have been involved in wiretapping, fighting to dismantle internet freedom, censoring activist emails from members, and well, the list goes on... Don't trust them. Sorry Iphone owners. You should get an opensource, open app Openmoko
