[thescientificviolist]

[ur-local-pair-of-binoculars-dea]

Check the notes, some people have added hotlines that aren’t listed here.

Always reblog these, I needed the suicide help hotline once and someone out there might need it too.

[tinywafflerat]

wow

[dduane]

And this isn’t some random “oh how nice, this is a good PSA, I should reblog it” thing, either.

You are needed in this world. You. Please hang in there and don’t go anywhere. (Doesn’t matter that I don’t know you personally. It’s still true.)

[charlesandhistypewriter]

I often forget I even have a Tumblr, and I'm just checking in before the new year. This is something worth re-posting.

[missymalice]

“young adult dystopian novels are so unrealistic lmao like they always have some random teenage girl rising up to inspire the world to make change.”

a hero emerges 

[inkgut-deactivated20180603]

And just like in the novels, grown men and women are going out of their way to destroy her. Support our hero.

[freifraufischer]

And it’s not even like it doesn’t happen regularly.  

Teenage girls are amazing.

[queen-of-the-merry-men]

Sometimes they’re not even teenagers

[maveragical]

This isn’t a coincidence. Revolutions almost always happen when the population of a country is at its youngest and that’s a lot more true nowadays with social media.

[2am-theswifthour]

Claudette Colvin was actually the first one to refuse her seat in Montgomery, Alabama to a white passenger. The movement chose to promote Rosa Parks as the figure for that form of protest because Claudette was a pregnant 15-year-old girl.

Barbara Rose Johns was a 16-year-old who organized a student strike protesting segregated schools. This strike, after gaining support of the NAACP, became a lawsuit that turned into Brown vs. The Board of Education and resulted in the desegregation of U.S schools nationally.

7th-grader Mary Beth Tinker, disturbed by the Vietnam War, decided to wear an arm band with a peace sign on it in protest. Her school suspended her. Her family filed a suit, Tinker vs. Des Moines, which reached the Supreme Court and ruled in her favor, ensuring that students and teachers maintain their right to free speech while in school.

Freddie & Truus Oversteegen were sisters who joined a Dutch resistance movement in WWII in their teens. They lured, ambushed, and assassinated Nazis and Dutch collaborators. They also blew up a railway line, transported Jewish refugees to new hiding places, and worked in an emergency hospital. 

Our history books may like to showcase male figures, but behind every movement is a young girl ready to make a change. It was true then, it’s true now, and future generations of teenage girls will go on to inspire progress, whether they’re credited or not.

The kids just might be all right. ✊🏿

It’s only been 24 hours since it launched and I still can’t believe I got off the streets to find out people care this much about what homeless kids are going through. Please share with anyone who needs this kind of hope!

[charlesandhistypewriter]

I’ve already heard an early version of this book via Violet’s Patreon (which is the best place to legit COVID info - the pandemic isn’t over - cybersec/infosec news, and photos of her cats) and it’s a 💔 memoir about our shared hometown of SF and its complicated history. It met its goal, but you can keep supporting it to make more accessible versions available.

Also, you’ll be supporting her cats, Sam and Max: https://linktr.ee/viblue

This is not a drill. Our new Community Guidelines are here. 

We recently introduced Community Labels to give everyone more control over their dashboard experience. With this new feature, you can adjust your feed to your preferred comfort level by setting the types of content you want to see. It was our first step toward a more open Tumblr. 

Today, we’re taking the next step: We now welcome a broader range of expression, creativity, and art on Tumblr, including content depicting the human form (yes, that includes the naked human form).

So, even if your creations contain nudity, mature subject matter, or sexual themes, you can now share them on Tumblr using the appropriate Community Label so that everyone remains in control of the types of content they see on their dash. 

We have updated our Community Guidelines to reflect these changes; the rest of our content policies remain the same: We still don’t allow hate, spam, violent threats, or anything illegal, and visual depictions of sexually explicit acts remain off-limits on Tumblr (if you want to know more about that, our CEO Matt recently explained why it’s not feasible for us to safely and successfully support porn communities at this time). If you come across these types of content, please continue to report them to us.

Similarly, if you come across content on Tumblr that doesn’t appear to be appropriately labeled, please let us know. This is how we’ll work together to create safer spaces for everyone on Tumblr, whatever their interests and needs. 

We hope this shift creates more room for artistic expression to flourish on Tumblr while empowering each of you to craft your own experience and safely explore and discover the things you love.

[charlesandhistypewriter]

I killed FB account years ago and my Twitter the year after that.

Who’da thunk it’d be such a good idea to hold onto my Flickr and Tumblr profiles? 😁

(PS: I’m one of the many journalists who warned about Musk Oil several times before this.)

This Week in White Privilege (21 July 2017)

Because OF COURSE it was in fuckin’ Florida.

Meanwhile...

Right... ‘cause the fuckin’ flowers were the real danger.

[charlesandhistypewriter]

Folks on Tumblr be like...

“Don’tcha NEVER say nothin’ good ‘bout Kim Kardashian or we’ll drag the fuck outta you!!”

And then Chance the Rapper is all:

A’ight den.

[charlesandhistypewriter]

Her name is Jacque Njeri and her work is AMAZING.

[brainstatic]

“Don’t call Trump supporters nazis, it hurts their feelings.”

[jewish-privilege]

Yes, this is real (link to tweet). Yes, Tucker Carlson is literally repeating Nazi propaganda that aided the genocide of the Romani during the Holocaust. Yes, I am furious. 

(Also, although there is a large population of Romani in Romania, they aren’t indigenous to Romania. They’re a diasporic group originally from northern India.)

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

Romani and Jewish have been screaming at the top of their lungs for years about neo-fascism in Europe, and Americans were totally aloof.

Then neo-fascism reared its head in America, but Roma and Jews were left out of the conversation in terms of people being impacted, because our oppression was “over.”

Now Tucker Carlson is on live TV using slurs and Nazi propaganda about Romani people, and I’m 90% most people on the left are just going to ignore it.

[volaee]

It’s fucking starting y'all. It’s happening again.

If you’re not Jewish or Roma PLEASE BOOST THIS.

[charlesandhistypewriter]

Because OF COURSE I’d come upon this thread just as the following video came across my YouTube feed:

{sigh} Just...

[charlesandhistypewriter]

Am I the only one who looks at this and thinks they’re just trying NOT to openly ask “How does this genre full of Black people become the biggest thing in the world?”

Seriously, the people in this report have a reverence for rock music, so much as it’s defined by WHITE PEOPLE. (Nevermind the fact that rock music is also a creation of Black America.)

So yeah, a musical genre created by Black people is once again the biggest in the world. Deal with it.

[charlesandhistypewriter]

Am I the only one diggin’ this?

Yes, this flick is yet another post-Taken action flick about a ruthless assassin. What makes this one different?

A Black woman smokin’ muhphuckas, then kickin’ back a Henny, that’s what!

Enjoy the full trailer of Taraji’s-assassinatin’-greatness here (complete with ‘70s Foxy Brown title font):

[charlesandhistypewriter]

Forget ‘Confederate,’ watch Aaron McGruder’s new show!

So... by now you’ve all heard about this:

Amidst all the screaming that the premise is racist - which it is - I personally couldn’t help but think “Um... didn’t Boondocks creator already announce a similar show for Amazon this past February?

So... to Hell with Benioff & Weiss’s new show - let’s dedicate our Black asses to watching Aaron McGruder’s new joint.

Especially since the world has basically become a Boondocks strip come to life.

[rarabro]

siri read a message from my mom (2017)

this is literally the funniest thing Ive ever seen in my life

Vic Mensa on Rappers Abusing Women: "They're not 'Problematic Artists,' They're Cowards"| Pigeons & Planes

Chicago's Vic Mensa speaks out on violence against women and how it relates to hip-hop in 2017.

Transcribed so that all the folks and the back row can hear:

“I don’t know... I don’t know if anything surprises me about rap in 2017.

You know what does disappoint me majorly? That it’s a way to break [into the business] musically in 20-17 is beating up women. I think that that, beating up women as, like, being a catalyst for rap success - which I’m really seein’ in 20-17 - is a horrible trend. Very bad.

That-that used to be, like, something that we condemned you for, now it’s like “Oh, he beats up women?” Like, “put the song on the meme,” or “put in on the Vine” - and I think that’s completely ridiculous.

They’re not “problematic artists,” they’re cowards.

I mean, I don’t wanna... get into this place-- And that’s my issue: that we’re gettin’ to this place of confusing, like, like, “troubled” and, like, “charismatic” people with just cowards, y’know? Like beating up women on video, as these rappers continue to do, and then their li’l fans continue to support them for it, and it gets them poppin’ - we know what I’m talkin’ ‘bout.

It’s-it’s not just a “problematic person;” it’s not like “Oh, he’s a troubled artist.”

No, he’s a pussy. That’s what’s goin’ on.

Full video here:

Although there are (sadly) a number of rappers who meet that unfortunate description, we all know that there’s one so-called-rapper-but-really-just-mediocre-singer/dancer that fits that distinction to a “T”.

It’s not just on him, it’s also on his fans and collaborators:

When he’s cast as a sympathetic figure on an episode of Black*ish...

When even Chance the Rapper co-produces Kanye’s “Waves” and then Chano immediately tweets out that it was “his dream to work with Chris Brown”...

When superstars like Kanye and Future continue to put him on their tracks and think nothing of it...

When “conscious” cats like Kendrick show him love by making surprise appearances at his concerts...

When each and every one of his fans continues to defend his truly unforgivable behavior...

...then everyone above is an enabler. THAT is the problem. And it needs to stop.

[cypheroftyr]

Hey white women who follow me, read this thread. Maybe y'all will listen to her.

[charlesandhistypewriter]

Y’all can start by showin’ some love for Black Panther next year the way fandoms of ALL COLOURS supported Wonder Woman this year.

[charlesandhistypewriter]

Specifically, he skewers the bullshit “fact” that women couldn’t/shouldn’t have 👶 after age 35.
