Sunday Radicalization / by Sean Gallagher

Today is Sunday.  Today, this day sucks.  Tomorrow is the work week—resume slowly slugging that boulder up the hill.  Whatever.  When I look at this picture, all the Sisyphean hoopla fades into the background because this picture represents everything that is great in the world.  Screw culture.  Screw the chains of society.  Screw the norms.  This girl is defiance.  This girl is freedom.  This girl is punk rock.  This girl is totally radical Muslim.  I hope that instead of oppressing this girl's attitude, this girl's future, someone out there is giving her a high-five and telling her to keep practicing her flat-ground ollies.
