A beach for everyone: physically handicapped individuals took part in the “Praia para Todos” (Beach for Everyone) project on Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil last week.
The project, run by volunteer physical therapists and students, offers a weekend at two of Rio’s beaches to the physically handicapped, many of whom don’t have the means to reach the beach, let alone swim in the sea.

My idea of a cocktail drink is condensed milk, a hint of vodka and fruit of choice (strawberry usually). We drink that type of stuff in brazil all the time.

{TW: VIOLENCE, TRANSPHOBIA} Another Trans Woman Murdered and Mutilated in Brazil
A young transgender woman was found in a dumpster in a rural part of São Paulo, Brazil, on Sept. 16th, according to Gay Star News. The 20-year-old woman, who investigators have not yet identified publicly, had been murdered and mutilated, her genitals and an ear removed. Police say they suspect she was a sex worker, who was taken to the location and murdered by a john.
Gay Star News reports that there has been a wave of crimes against trans people in São Paulo recently. In August, a 23 year old trans woman was murdered in Clementina and four more trans women were shot in the city of São José do Rio Preto (two died). Suspects have been arrested in both cases, one of them reportedly a former police officer. According to Grupo Gay da Bahia, an LGBT organization in Brazil, there were 266 murders of LGBT people in Brazil last year, six times more than in 2010.
One recent Grupo Gay da Bahia report, according to Gay Star News, concludes that Brazil has the highest rate of LGBT murders in the world; the risk of a gay man being murdered in Brazil is 800% higher than in the U.S.; and one Brazilian LGBT person was murdered every 33 hours in 2011.

Sometimes I am ashamed of my country. But how ashamed can I be of Brazil when our people have been colonized and indoctrinated, conditioned to believe in oppressive and strict views of sexuality and morality brought on by the white colonizers?

This is Brazilian plus-size model Mayara Russi, a size 22.
Can you imagine if ASOS or F21 used models like Mayara in addition to their smaller-sized models? Fat folks might actually be able to tell how a garment would look on them! What a novel concept!
