Signal Boost: More than 19 dead in 6.0 earthquake in Sabah, Malaysia

On a Eurocentric platform like Tumblr, there’s always little talk or interest in places like Southeast Asia, which breaks my heart because there are things that happen here that deserve attention, awareness and thought from people - which brings me to:

On Friday, 5 June 2015, an earthquake of magnitude 6.0 struck Sabah, Malaysia. As of 6 June, the death toll is 19, with many more sustaining injuries. Most of the victims are from Malaysia and Singapore; the rest are from the Philippines, China and Japan.

At least six of the deceased are 12 year old children - they were on a school trip to Sabah and were caught on Mount Kinabulu when the quake struck. One accompanying teacher has also been confirmed dead and another is currently unaccounted for. The search for those missing is ongoing.

Please send your prayers and thoughts to those lost or missing in the quake and to all their loved ones.

This is too much.

Kevin Allen, a 36 year old black man, has been shot and killed inside a library. A library of all places. What would it take for everyone to see that the cops are actually coming for black people?

He was described as a quiet man who frequented the library and liked to watch videos and listen to music at the computer stations. He was shot around 1:35 PM and taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

How are the racists gonna justify this? Black people getting killed shouldn’t ever be some commonplace occurrence we should just have to accept. This is an epidemic. This can’t be the world we live in.

Cops would kill black people for buying (allegedly stealing) cigarettes, wearing a hood, jaywalking, being in a library, playing with a toy, sleeping, the list goes on and on.

It’s as if white people just want black people to stop existing.

I knew there was evil in the world, but I would’ve never imagined anything like this explosion of racism since August 9th could ever be possible again. And the sheer fact that white people are not only ignoring and disregarding this genocide, but they’d even go to great lengths to justify it.

How does it feel, looking for reasons to justify murder? Aiyana Jones was only seven. Tamir Rice, only twelve.

Racism is far from over. Kevin Allen, along with the thousands of innocent black people killed in less than one year, never deserved to be forgotten.

This is unjustifiable.

100 Years Of Indian Beauty In Less Than Two Minutes

- Episode 7: India (Trisha)

here the 1910s :At this point, India had been under British rule for half a century and Indian revolutionaries had begun encouraging self-sufficiency and self-rule as protest. These movements, also known as swadeshi and swaraj, resulted in a rejection of western influences and an overall back-to-basics, humble aesthetic.
