The new Stonewall movie is #NotMyStonewall

While a big budget Hollywood flick is white washing, erasing and minimizing the trans woc who were the riot leaders of Stonewall there is an independent movie right now in post-production titled “Happy Birthday, Marsha!” which centres on Marsha P. Johnson in the lead-up to the riots which features Sylvia Rivera, Andorra Marks, Bambi L'Amour, Junior. Sad thing is it won’t have the same marketing push as a film from the guy who brought you Independence Day or the recent Godzilla.

Official statement from the movie’s website: “We truly believe how we tell the stories of our heroes matters, so we are drawing upon our community to make this film because we have an opportunity to make a movie written, directed and produced by people living Sylvia & Marsha’s legacy through our own work. It’s been 45 years since the Stonewall rebellion yet the leading role that street queens, trans women of color and gender non-conforming people had during the riots hasn’t received the recognition it deserves. By making Happy Birthday, Marsha!,we are seeking to change that.”

Well done, Ireland! <3

[fuckingstudyblog-blog]

Hello!?! Why isn’t this being celebrated worldwide!?!? Ireland is known for its conservative catholic people and now we have gay marriage and trans rights. Not only that but we are the only country in the world to achieve same sex marriage by popular vote!!!

The family of an Illinois woman found dead in a Texas jail cell after she was arrested during a traffic stop is raising questions about how she died.

#Sandra Bland, 28, was found dead in Waller County, Texas, on Monday, the Chicago Tribune reports. Local authorities in Texas say Bland killed herself, but her family and friends don’t believe that is the case, and suspects that the true cause of her death is being covered up.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. Bland Was in Texas to Start a New Job at Her Alma Mater

2. She Was Stopped on Friday for Improperly Signaling & Then Allegedly Assaulted a Police Officer

At one point, she can be heard saying, “You just slammed my head into the ground. Do you not even care about that?”

3. Her Death Has Been Ruled Suicide by Hanging, But Her Friend Say She Wouldn’t Have Killed Herself

4. She Often Spoke Out Against Police Brutality & Racial Injustice

Also watch this 

We must make the case public. Cops lie, and everyone knows that they are lying, but if society turns its back on this precedent, motherfuckers will be able to go unpunished. We won’t allow this. The more people know about it, the more people talk about it, the more likely that we will achieve justice. Sandra tried to change our society with the help of social media, we have to stand up for her.

Nils-Udo (born 1937) is a Bavarian artist who has been creating environmental art since the 1960s when he moved away from painting and the studio and began to work with and in nature.

Even if I work parallel to nature and only intervene with the greatest possible care, a basic internal contradiction remains.

I love Nils Udo very much

Remember folks, this is not in the “distant past” I am a 1st generation survivor my mother was raped and abused in the Residential school here in Nova Scotia when she was a child, she was taken away from her family and unable to see her siblings.  The fallout of the residential school system will be felt by countless people in the newt few generations.  Let this never happen again, anywhere in this world.

Lappet-faced, white-backed and Cape vultures squabble over a carcass at Sable Dam, Kruger national park, South Africa. These three species are declining at a rate of 80%–92% over three generations (about 45–55 years), a study suggests. An international team of researchers, including leading scientists from the University of St Andrews, the Hawk Conservancy Trust and the University of York, say African vultures are likely to qualify as ‘critically endangered’ under the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s global threat criteria.
