The United Kingdom
The police’s counter-terrorism powers cannot be used to stop people legitimately taking photographs or filming.
It is not an offence for a member of the public or a journalist to take photographs or film public buildings. They do not need a permit to photograph or film in a public space, and the police have no power to stop the photographing or filming of incidents or police personnel (that, of course, does not mean that photographers can obstruct an officer or breach a cordon).
Additionally, police officers do not have powers to delete pictures or destroy film. Under counter-terrorism legislation, cameras, film and memory cards may only be seized when an officer suspects they may constitute evidence that a person is a terrorist.
Photographers are encouraged to engage in positive dialogue with police officers to build trust and develop mutual understanding.
Wording approved by the Home Office.
The United States:
In the United States, it is part of your First Amendment rights to film and/or take photos of police officers in the public, cf. Glik v Cunniffe. In this case, it was noted that:
“Gathering information about government officials in a form that can readily be disseminated to others serves a cardinal First Amendment interest in protecting and promoting “the free discussion of governmental affairs”.and that:
“A citizen’s right to film government officials, including law enforcement officers, in the discharge of their duties in a public space is a basic, vital, and well-established liberty safeguarded by the First Amendment.”Sweden:
In Sweden you’re always allowed to take photos of or film police officers as well as members of the public in public spaces. You may not sell the photos or use them for monetary gain if the people in your photos can be identified, but you may use them for newspaper articles. You may not take photos of a person if they feel threatened or offended by your actions. This rule is however rendered invalid if the purpose is to collect evidence of a crime being committed.
Furthermore, a police officer may not seize your camera or delete your photos lest ordered to do so by a prosecutor.
Friend of mine who goes to protests a lot has a mini camera fixed to his jacket that takes photos at intervals to document cops without them knowing, and so if they take his handheld camera, he has evidence.
(IMAGE DESCRIPTION. The top picture is a close up of a fat biracial women in a mirror wearing light pink shimmer eyeshadow and bright red lipstick. In the last two pictures are a full body mirror shots of her wearing a dark purple knee length peasant skirt with a lavender t shirt. She has mustard colored knee high socks held up by black garters. She is also wearing purple earnings, a yellow neck scarf and black shoes. END IMAGE DESCRIPTION)
bought this skirt the other day for ten dollars and am so excited to wear it. I’ve been wanting a peasant style skirt for a really long time. Its uncharacteristically cool for this time of year so I put on some high socks. With garters, of course, because apparently every time I wear sock garters it gives my followers big boners and I’m more than happy to oblige.
If anyone says anything about the Minnesota Vikings I will stop being your friend.Skirt, scarf, earrings- second hand

Diana Fletcher was of African and Seminole heritage by blood but was raised primarily by her African father and her Kiowa step mother. Fletcher’s paternal grandparents were born Free in Africa but Fletcher’s father was born into slavery in Virginia. As a child he was sold to a white master in Florida but he eventually ran away and lived with the Seminole people, who also kept him in some form of bondage. Eventually he married Diana Fletcher’s mother, a Seminole woman, but she died during their forced removal (Trail of Tears) to Oklahoma. In Indian Territory, Fletcher’s father remarried and his Kiowa wife taught Diana Fletcher in the Kiowa tradition. She is remembered for having been very knowledgeable and talented in Kiowa arts and crafts - particularly sewing and basket weaving.
Here is one source - there are better ones out there though I just don’t have access to them at the moment.

Golda Poretsky, H.H.C. Body Love Coach:
I’ve been fielding lots of comments of the “how can you be promoting fat?!” and “haven’t you heard of type II diabetes?!” variety. So I’ve decided to write this post. I’ve outlined 9 typical statements by commenters, together with an explanation of why each statement is wrong, wrong, wrong.
1) Fat is unhealthy. Fat is not inherently unhealthy. In fact, being underweight, in many ways, is more dangerous than being overweight, obese, or morbidly obese… [more]
2) Fat people all have eating disorders, eat poorly, and don’t exercise. No study has ever supported this conclusion. And let’s just get clear on something… [more]
3) If fat people would eat properly and exercise, they wouldn’t be fat. Contrary to popular opinion, people come in all shapes and sizes… [more]
4) Weight loss is a healthy goal, deserving of promotion. Not true at all. First of all, diets don’t work. They really don’t. The one or two people that you know that lost weight on a diet and kept it off for more than 5 years are statistical freaks… [more]
5) Promoting fat acceptance makes people fat. No studies have ever shown that approving and loving your body causes one to gain weight. In fact, Health At Every Size practices, which include body acceptance, actually make people healthier… [more]
6) There’s an obesity crisis going on and obesity is on the rise. Actually, it’s not… [more]
7) Childhood obesity is a serious problem. Actually, it’s not. Childhood life expectancy continues to rise —- The real danger for fat children is the threat of bullying… [more]
8) BMI is an appropriate and scientific way of determining health… [more]
9) But all of this goes against the conventional wisdom that fat is bad and deadly! Your “conventional wisdom” has been paid for by the diet industry and pharmaceutical companies for decades and decades… [more]

“The fundamental flaw in all of this, though, is that it neglects something intrinsic to the complex real world and to complex real human beings. In fact, it is not necessarily true that everything can be conquered with willpower. There are forces of nature and circumstance that are beyond our control, let alone our understanding, and to insist on victory in the face of this, to accept nothing less, is just asking for a soul-pummeling. The simple truth is, not every fight can be won.” — Elyn Saks (via wretchedoftheearth)
“To me, Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all. Certainly the most popular, great painter of all time. The most beloved, his command of colour most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world, no one had ever done it before. Perhaps no one ever will again.” — Museum Curator on Vincent Van Gogh - “Vincent And The Doctor” Doctor Who 5x10 (via somethingreater)
