A black girl will be spending years in jail because she had a mental health crisis. PLEASE READ
Meet Saraya: she was experiencing a mental health crisis. Police came and tackled her. She is 15.
Saraya Rees is a 15 year old biracial girl from Coos County, Oregon. After being abruptly instructed to stop taking her antidepressants by a local pediatrician, Saraya went into psychosis. In her manic state, Saraya poured a small amount of gasoline on the floor. Her parents called Coos Health & Wellness in hope that that would send mental health advisors, Coos Health & Wellness sent the police. While still in psychosis, the officers arrested her, questioned her without her family or lawyers present, charged with attempted murder and assault, and sent her to juvenile prison for 11 years.
ELEVEN.YEARS.
This is not justice.
This is inhumane.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP:
1. Call these people and demand that she be let go to the custody in her parents.
Please call Governor Kate Brown and Senator Jeff Merkely.â

UPDATE EDIT: Jan.5.2021: Saraya has written a letter:Â
Dear Mom and Dad,Â
I want you to post this on every social media platform that you can. I want you to do so, so that everyone knows how messed up the system is and how messed up the state is.
I donât care if people know about my âcrimesâ, and I donât care if people know Iâm in prison. All I care about is letting people know the truth, this for me, and all of the rest of the kids in the system. This is what really, this is the truthâŠ.
I am Saraya Rees. Iâm 14 years old, and Iâm being charged with attempted murder x2. And attempted aggravated assault x1. I was arrested July 8th, 2019. I was in a detention for 3 months and 9 days. I spent my 14th birthday in Juvy. Not only that, but I have been sexually and physically harassed and the staff did nothing to help. I physically hurt myself even though I was on suicide watch.
They allowed the boys to make sexual gestures and comments to all of the females. The staff at my Juvy made fun of people who self harm or attempted suicide. They would do that right in front of the kids who have done that. Out of all the staff there was only one that was respectful. That staffâs name was Tom (thank you Tom for helping me through all this BS).
The reason Iâm telling (whoever it may concern) this, is so you know what really happens in the system. But now Iâm going to tell you why Iâm really stuck in prison. I am being held in prison because I cried for help. People who know me, know Iâve done many things as a call for help. This was all of the biggest, what I did was pour a small amount of gasoline of the floor at my house. I was never going to light it, but the police and the court all said otherwise.Â
When in comes to the court they donât care about the fact they care about tearing people and families apart. The kids that they arrest are the kids who are being sexually and physically abused at home, the teen moms, the kids looking for love in the wrong places, places because their families donât want them, the kids who are hurt, the kids who are suicidal. They arrest the misunderstood and that is not fair.
They arrest kids even if they have never committed the crimes, they arrest kids for no reason sometimes. As citizens of Oregon we need to take a stand, we need to stick up to this injustice. Please help get the kids like me who, without their families have nothing to hold onto. No reason to continue living out of places like thisâŠplease. Join our cause at #takeastand4oregon.Â
        -Saraya Rees, 15 (she was 14 when this was written, I believe) (currently serving 11 years for a crime she did not commit)
JUSTICE FOR MOHAMUD HASSAN
on friday january 8th 2021 mohamud hassan was arrested by police when an elderly neighbour claimed he was making a commotion in his home in wales, cardiff. mohamud was released without charge the next morning but arrived home severely injured. his clothes were covered in blood, there was severe bleeding from his mouth and he had bruising covering his face. mohamud said that he was tasered twice and brutally kicked in the head. when his body was examined there were also believed to be bite marks covering his body and he had a dislocated knee. when he was told to get medical attention, he proceeded to tell everyone he was too tired and would after he got some rest. however, in his sleep, he grew unresponsive when his friend/housemate tried waking him up. his friend/housemate called an ambulance and proceeded to perform cpr on mohamud. at 10:30 pm police came flooding in and taped off the residency trying to state it was a crime scene, disallowing mohamudâs family to see their son who was lying on the kitchen floor until 6:45 am.
i am BEGGING you to spread the word that black lives STILL matter and it was not a trend. the uk IS NOT innocent. the arrest rate for black men is rising in the uk along with the death rate. we need to call out inequality and make this FAIR.
there is a link is below to support mohamud hassanâs family for legal fees and a funeral. you donât need to donate but i damn well EXPECT you to spread that black. lives. matter.

Hey you know how I said I was going to make a workbook on the kind of bullshit you need to do when someone you love dies? I actually did that.
HERE IS THE VERSION WITH LOTS OF SWEARING AT THE USELESS, SHITTY SITUATION YOUâRE IN.
HERE IS THE VERSION WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF BLACK HUMOR BUT NO CURSEWORDS.
Featuring Helpful Sections such as:
Death Certificates â What you need, why you need them, and how to get them
Prepare to spend a long and miserable time on the phone
What the Everloving Fuck is Probate
Some Simple Dos and Donâts
Shitty Mad Libs â Templates for writing Obituaries and Memorials
How to plan a non-religious death party
So you suddenly have to become some sort of hacker or some shit
This is an eighteen page book that you can print out, download, share, and give away; it is meant to be used to collect information about funeral planning and account management after a death OR you can use it BEFORE you die and give people information so theyâre not stuck playing Nancy Fucking Drew while trying to keep seventeen cousins who crawled out of the woodwork from gutting each other in front of the fucking casket as they argue about whoâs inheriting grandmaâs favorite dentures.
Itâs not exactly cheerful and itâs full of things that are probably going to feel really fucking raw if youâre processing a fresh death.
Iâm sorry! I love you! Death is shitty! Iâm trying to laugh about it a little and I hope you can laugh a little too because otherwise weâre all just going to cry together.
Good luck!
(in memory of my weirdo mother and her weirdo siblings who all died too fucking young and left me holding this flaming bag of dogshit)
This is so radically kind, thank you
Youâre welcome!
Life is short, kindness is what weâve got.
When my mom died it wasnât exactly unexpected but it was still sooner than we all thought it would happen. It was a huge punch in the guts and the thought of making things and not being able to show her and share them with her still hurts but in that first month it was like drowning.
So I made this for her, and shared it with and showed it to other people who are hurting, because my momma didnât raise a quitter but she sure did raise a softhearted fool who wants everyone to feel a little more loved and a little more worthy and a little less alone.
I love you. Take care. Be kind.
This is important, useful, and so very damn kind.
Hi, I'm 25 and debating starting male-to-female HRT. However, I'm scared that HRT won't help me at all. It seems like HRT does so little after puberty, especially by the time one gets in their 20s. I'm really scared that I'll just end up being someone in a male body, but with breasts. Is there anything you can say to someone having this fear? Thank you, and sorry, I suspect this is a silly question.
Actually, the claim that HRT doesnât do much after puberty is a myth. Â I started when I was 31 years old and now Iâm 35. =) Â
Itâs never too late to transition! Â
Yeah, anon, have you seen my timeline? Â I started at 29.
Itâs never too late.
Seriously, I transitioned at 39 and Iâm 41 now. Hormones are magic whatever your age and while some things stay, many things change and itâs been totally worth it for me.
OMG!!! I love seeing posts like this. The hope it inspires. especially in girls like me, is unprecedented. Thank you!
Hope
I felt the same way before I started transitioning and especially because I have a fair masculine build. But you know what Iâve learned from my experience so far? Fuck it! There is always hope and you could end up surprising yourself with the results.Â
I think results vary, I donât see much difference between pre-hrt and 8 years on hrt
Just adding another voice to the barrage: It. Is. Never. Too. Late!
The top two pictures are from 2011, age 32. The bottom three are from this yeah, 2016, age 37, and (almost) 2 years on hrt. Hrt is magic.
Never.
Too late.
REBLOGING!!! Always! Forever!
Reblog to help someone find the courage uwu
Always reblog
Look at these amazing and brave women!!!! A reminder to all my followers, itâs not too late!! You can do it!!!!!
This is what I needed to see in my day âșïž Iâm only 23 but I think about making this change on a daily basis and itâs been 3 years since Iâve been thinking that. Hrt is in my future (:
Look at all these gorgeous women! <3
THIS is what i needed to be able to send to my struggling trans friends
Holy shit dude
This sounds like... really important? What the FUCK Disney??
They are just straight up not paying loyalties! "Disneyâs argument is that they have purchased the rights but not the obligations of the contract."
This is seriously dangerous to creators
Read the letter from Alan Dean Foster:
Dear Mickey,
We have a lot in common, you and I. We share a birthday: November 18. My dadâs nickname was Mickey. Thereâs more.
When you purchased Lucasfilm you acquired the rights to some books I wrote. STAR WARS, the novelization of the very first film. SPLINTER OF THE MINDâS EYE, the first sequel novel. You owe me royalties on these books. You stopped paying them.
When you purchased 20th Century Fox, you eventually acquired the rights to other books I had written. The novelizations of ALIEN, ALIENS, and ALIEN 3. Youâve never paid royalties on any of these, or even issued royalty statements for them.
All these books are all still very much in print. They still earn money. For you. When one company buys another, they acquire its liabilities as well as its assets. Youâre certainly reaping the benefits of the assets. Iâd very much like my miniscule (though itâs not small to me) share.
You want me to sign an NDA (Non-disclosure agreement) before even talking. Iâve signed a lot of NDAs in my 50-year career. Never once did anyone ever ask me to sign one prior to negotiations. For the obvious reason that once you sign, you can no longer talk about the matter at hand. Every one of my representatives in this matter, with many, many decades of experience in such business, echo my bewilderment.
You continue to ignore requests from my agents. You continue to ignore queries from SFWA, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. You continue to ignore my legal representatives. I know this is what gargantuan corporations often do. Ignore requests and inquiries hoping the petitioner will simply go away. Or possibly die. But Iâm still here, and I am still entitled to what you owe me. Including not to be ignored, just because Iâm only one lone writer. How many other writers and artists out there are you similarly ignoring?
My wife has serious medical issues and in 2016 I was diagnosed with an advanced form of cancer. We could use the money. Not charity: just what Iâm owed. Iâve always loved Disney. The films, the parks, growing up with the Disneyland TV show. I donât think Unca Walt would approve of how you are currently treating me. Maybe someone in the right position just hasnât received the word, though after all these months of ignored requests and queries, thatâs hard to countenance. Or as a guy named Bob Iger saidâŠ.
âThe way you do anything is the way you do everything.â
Iâm not feeling it.
Alan Dean Foster
SIGNAL.
BOOST.
Because you know if Disney gets away with not paying creators, everyone else will want to see if they can get away with it.
First of all, yes to all of this.
But something I think should be highlighted is the difference between the Disney franchise model, and a lot of previous franchise models, and why the Disney model sucks.
If you, say, write an original novel, and it gets published in a traditional publishing house, they will give you a check up front and also pay you royalties, that is, a percentage of the profits the book makes. (If youâre asking âwhy donât you get ALL the profit, if youâre the sole author?â the answer is that the editors, typesetters, printers, cover artist, advertisers, and bookstores need to get paid, too; they arenât producing and selling your book out of the goodness of their heart.) If the book is a flop, youâll get nothing but the up-front check; if itâs a smash hit that sells a lot really quickly and then gets forgotten about, youâll get a lot of money in the first year and not much thereafter; if it becomes a classic or perennial favorite you will have a small but steady stream of revenue trickling in for years.
When Disney hires someone to create something for a franchise they own, they do not pay royalties. They never have, to the best of my knowledge. The contract is a strict one off, work-for-hire. You create something to their specifications, they give you a check, and off you go. If the thing you created is the greatest of its kind ever, you donât get royalties. Disney can profit for the next century, but you donât get anything. This is legal, because when you signed the contract you agreed to it--you got all your money up front, not tied to the success or failure of your creation. If your creation is a failure, this is a really good deal, because youâll make more money. If your creation does medium-well, itâs a toss-up, because you might have made more money with royalties, but you might not; and the accounting and business angle is simpler if you get a lump sum vs. dribs and drabs trickling in for the next couple of years. But if your work is a great success ... then not getting royalties for it means the contract was a really terrible deal for you and a great deal for Disney.
But the thing is, Disney has spent the last several years buying up franchises from other people and corporations. And some of those franchises did pay royalties, at least for some authors. See, especially back in the 70s through the 90s, if you wanted a big-name author to write a novelization or tie-in (and thus have a better chance of that book selling well), offering royalties was how you did it. Because sure, there were a lot of mid-list or bottom-list or newbie authors who would write work-for-hire (i.e. payment up front but no royalties) just because they needed the cash. For a newbie or bottom-list or mid-list author, they might actually make more money doing work-for-hire for a major franchise than they would writing their own original stuff. You churn out a novel to their specifications, you take your check, pay your bills, and then go back to writing the stuff you actually want to write. Which is why so many novelizations and tie-ins are mediocre at best. But a major author (who might do a better job, and who would attract readers who otherwise donât bother with tie-ins and novelizations) wouldnât take a contract like that because theyâd make more money on their own stuff where they would get royalties.
Alan Dean Foster was one of the leading SF/F authors of the late 20th Century. And he had a positive talent for writing tie-ins and novelizations and making them really good. Which is why he got good contracts with royalties to write those books instead of them being work-for-hire, and also why many of those books are still in print and still selling steadily, today, literally 40 years later, decades after most of the other tie-ins and novelizations of that era are out of print.
So even after snaffling up all these other franchises, there probably arenât too many authors who wrote books that Disney now owns the rights to who are due royalties. And most of the books Disney now owns where the authors are due royalties ... it probably doesnât matter much because the books are old enough that they havenât sold many copies in the last decade or so, so itâs a moot point.
I bet that what happened was that Disney doesnât have anyone on staff who actually handles figuring out who is owed royalties and how much, because ... theyâve never had to deal with royalties because they do everything work-for-hire. So then Alan Dean Foster, one of the few people who a) wrote novels that Disney now owns the rights to, b) is entitled to royalties on them, and c) those novels actually sell enough on a regular basis to generate royalties, starts asking why heâs not getting his quarterly check. And Disney is like, who does this dude think he is, why should we pay him for books that he wrote forty years ago, heâs already been paid, we own the books now fair and square.
Except thatâs not what the contract says. And now theyâre trying to wiggle out of it.
I hope they get laughed out of court and have to pay not only the royalties but any legal bills Foster may have.
No harm to any religion. Itâs just a lamp ads by an Australian company. However, itâs funny!
Iâm going to cry đđ
Ahaha, the reason why Mohammad is specifically mentioned as not being able to be there is because in Islam, portrayals and portraits of Mohammad are forbidden. But they didnât want to be seen as either hand waving him as at the table but not shown or as explicitly omitted.
Very smart move there advertising script writers.
THEY HAVE A JEDI AT THE END BECAUSE JEDI IS A RECOGNIZED RELIGION IN AUSTRALIA omfg
