Killings by Police Declined after Black Lives Matter Protests

A study also found body-camera use and community policing increased in places with the most active movements

[solarpunkwitchcraft]

“Black Lives Matter represents a trend that goes beyond the decentralization that existed within the Civil Rights Movement,” says Aldon Morris, a sociologist at Northwestern University, who was not involved in the new study. “The question becomes, ‘Are Black Lives Matter protests having any real effect in terms of generating change?’ The data show very clearly that where you had Black Lives Matter protests, killing of people by the police decreased. It’s inescapable from this study that protest matters—that it can generate change.”

Friend not food! :3

my fav thing in wildlife research is the concept of animals being “trap happy” meaning the same animal goes into a trap on purpose again and again after it’s caught the first time bc it was like “hey…..there was food in there and Zero (0) predators and then they just let me go in the morning…….”

on one hand it fucks up our data but on the other hand……..I Get It you Funky Little Rodents

if it were pouring rain on my walk home from work at night and I found a big metal box full of pizza and a bed where no one else could bother me and the only condition is that in the cold light of day I’d have to face a bunch of scientists weighing me and then letting me go on the sidewalk I’d probably end up in there a lot.

Id literally try and live in the box lol

its 2018 we out here pink & goth

[postgenderspock-deactivated2018]

If you have anything to spare during these admittedly lean times, my family could really, really use your help preparing for winter. You can donate here at: paypal.me/marthaandfamily

We especially need clothing for our three-year-old, who outgrows items extraordinarily quickly. Anything you donate will go toward purchasing these items for them:

1. Corduroy Trousers x2 (£7.99 each) 2. Blue Cotton Chinos (£9.99) 3. Warm Jumper (£12.99) 4. Merino Wool Scarf (£8.99) 5. Printed Shirt (£2.99) 6. 2-Pack Long Sleeve Tops (£9.99)

Please, please help. We also have a WISH LIST if you prefer to support us that way.

In total, we are looking to raise about £300, which would allow us to buy my partner a winter coat (her chronic illness makes her extremely sensitive to cold), a pair of shoes (she currently only has one pair, lightweight mesh trainers that are not suitable for the cold and wet), and a pair of winter shoes for myself, as well as the stuff above for the Small. 

I am a black intersex lesbian who is multiply disabled, and my partner is a disabled Jewish trans woman. We are putting everything we can into just surviving, but we can’t do this without you. Please donate or reblog. Thank you so much.

Anti-Mom: It’s okay if you don’t finish your plate because you’re only human and the vast majority of food waste comes from corporations and government organizations throwing it away, and not households.

women writing horror that focuses on the fears of women in a society that is a constant danger to their mental health and well-being? genius. men writing horror where women suffer for shock value? garbage.

[yaushie]

so who else gets irrationally afraid and embarrassed about their interests being known to people in real life

[queenofattolia]

#i’m not embarrassed but#i hate the thought of having to guard what i love#and defend any of my interests to others#people are the worst i don’t want them to know me

I call this “residual anxiety from being bullied for everything that made me even slightly unusual every day in junior high.”
