Hello! I have no idea what I'm doing on tumblr, but I like culture, nature, fashion and making jewelry and can't help but reblog political stuff, so there's that.
Photographer Isabel Muñoz studied members of the Mara Salvatrucha gangs from Los Angeles and Central American prisons; her work was put on display in downtown Mexico City in October of 2008. Muñoz spent time in prisons in El Salvador photographing the intricate facial, chest and extremity tattoos that feature variations of the gang’s name, which is often abbreviated to “MS” or “MS-13.” The number 13 represents the 13th letter of the alphabet, “M,” referring to “La Eme,” or the Mexican Mafia. The combination of El Salvadorian and Mexican gang affiliations represents solidarity and alliance among Southern California Hispanic gangs. MS-13’s affiliation with Southern California is also exemplified by the words “Sureño” or “Sur,” meaning “Southern” and “South,” respectively, which are also often seen tattooed on MS-13 gang members.

“When attacked from behind, she grasps a hatpin. Turning quickly, she is able to strike a fatal blow in the face.”
Hatpin self-defense tactics are illustrated in these photographs excerpted from a 1904 article that was featured in the San Francisco Sunday Call newspaper. (via Bartitsu)

In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to run the Boston marathon. After realizing that a woman was running, race organizer Jock Semple went after Switzer shouting, “Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers.” However, Switzer’s boyfriend and other male runners provided a protective shield during the entire marathon.The photographs taken of the incident made world headlines, and Kathrine later won the NYC marathon with a time of 3:07:29.
