i’m so thankful we’re alive to smell flowers and touch saltwater and get chilled in the breeze and take deep breaths and make foods warm with love and dance and laugh and move and wake up and dig our hands in dirt and eat strawberries and draw mindlessly and remember and sing and joke and walk down the same street again and again and make meaning. we are so lucky we get to be and feel and keep going

Rebekah Jones was fired from the Florida Department of Health because she refused to report altered data. Florida is now actively deleting cases and hiding data in order to move forward with Phase 3 of reopening, despite actually currently leading the country in COVID-19 cases. It is likely my state will become the new epicenter of the virus in the US, and more tourists and locals are here, without masks, every single day.

We are breaking records for new cases each day even with the state government hiding information from the public. They are letting us die so the shops can reopen. I am absolutely disgusted, but not surprised with the (lack of) leadership from our Trump-loving leader. IMPEACH GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS AND STOP LETTING PEOPLE DIE.

white sociopathy and fragility is so deeply troubling bc even ‘progressive’ white ppl express it, it’s just so deeply ingrained in them and the concept of ‘whiteness’ that you can’t have one without the other. being called racist is scarier to them than actually being racist, and they’ll have full blown meltdowns when accused of racism bc they can see the social consequences of that accusation - people not wanting to associate with them, people speaking negatively about them, etc - and it terrifies them. dealing w the social ramifications of being racist scares them, but actual racism doesn’t bc it doesnt affect them. if they’re racist and no one notices, it doesn’t hurt them; if they’re racist and people notice, they ‘suffer’ (even though that ‘suffering’ would be justified, and what constitutes as ‘suffering’ to them re: accusations of racism doesn’t compare to racialized people actually, you know, experiencing racism.)

if one more person comments on this saying something like “ummm im a psychology student and this isn’t what sociopathy means :/” or “aktually that’s not why people don’t like being called a racist” im literally gonna snap i have no patience for this shit anymore please use google it’s free these are studied proven phenomenons written about by antiracist academics for decades that you can read about 100% for free on the same internet you are using right this second. stop derailing this post im fucking sick of it

anyway juneteenth should be celebrated and recognized more than the fourth of july bc it embarks the REAL FREEDOM of millions of enslaved africans and not a bunch of old white men writing on a stale piece of paper about how only rich white men deserve rights and that’s that
