Spying on the Garglers.

Hi - I'm Kelly :) I'm 37, married with a 11 year old kiddo, and I live in Minnesota. My husband is a saint for putting up with my die-hard Klaine-ing and my tendency to run off to different parts of the country for Darren Criss, Chris Colfer, and/or Glee related events.

while protestors are out on the streets asking justice for breonna taylor's murder, louisville law enforcement has senselessly murdered another black man, david mcatee. he was the owner of a bbq restaurant and he was literally at the protests feeding people when he was killed after law enforcement blindly shot into a crowd!! his family says he was shot while trying to protect his niece!! he was known to feed police officers for free!! he was a good, kind man! say his name!!

[singinginthecar]

important reminder that his murder occurred a 10 minute drive (or approx. 40 min walk) away from the protest sites... in a black neighborhood. his body was left out in the streets for nearly 12 hours. the officers who shot him were not wearing / did not activate their body cameras... so there is no evidence of the shooting.

you can sign a petition to bring justice to david and his family, by requesting the louisville mayor to take appropriate action by making sure the killer is identified and arrested.

Justice for George Floyd, help Minneapolis, Minnesota

Hi everyone,

Mod Colette here of WritingwithColor. I live in the heart of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Just when you thought coronavirus was enough…

SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM ON HOW TO DONATE & HELP

On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was murdered by police in my city. 

He was a 46-year old Black man, handcuffed, unarmed and complying. White police officer, Derek Chauvin, murdered Mr. Floyd.

EX officer Chauvin was arrested on May 29, 2020. He’s been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. There’s no charges yet against his accomplices, the 3 other officers that held Floyd down while Chauvin kept his knee on his neck for 9 minutes. They ignored his pleas, and the pleas from onlookers begging Chauvin to stop. 

“I can’t breathe.”

“They’re gonna kill me.”

“Mama!”

“Please—”

The Protests

There are several protests every day. Those who oppose us have run over protesters, including a semi truck. A Black Latino CNN reporter was arrested, even though he identified himself; his white co-worker not too far away was not arrested after he identified himself. This is a small sample; the incidents are endless.

Police reacted to peaceful marching with tear-gas and rubber bullets. This is in strong contrast to their reaction the other week, when heavily armed white people came to protest the covid-19 lockdown.

Opportunists have taken advantage of the crowds to loot, destroy, and cause chaos. 

This behavior is a consequence of robbing Black people of their lives. Society has been enslaving, assaulting, robbing, oppressing, and killing Black people for hundreds upon hundreds of years. Property is not as important as people. People cannot be replaced. 

On the other hand, this has moved far beyond looting and tagging stores. 

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said “We are now confronting white supremacists, members of organized crime, out of state instigators, and possibly even foreign actors to destroy and destabilize our city and our region.”

It is true and is confirmed. Groups of majority white people are strategically burning down PoC-owned businesses, libraries, groceries in food deserts, pharmacies. They’re attempting to burn apartment complexes and homes.

These people are not a part of the movement. 

I am not sleeping. I am watching. Watching my fellow Minnesotans protest, get tear-gassed, and keep getting back up to scream out George’s name.

I’m watching my community get together every day to rebuild, clean, and feed those in need. And then every night, guarding our streets from people who, again, don’t live here and do not care about George Floyd or justice.

As a Black woman in America, i’m scared. And I am not sleeping.

Please stay awake with me, with us, and help.

-Mod Colette, WWC

I am a Twin Cities citizen, born and raised. I have white privilege and I realize that. I can go to the store, drive my car, visit a park, watch a goddamn BIRD without being threatened. THIS 👏 MUST 👏 END 👏.

There's not much that could bring me back from the dead on Tumblr, but... yeah

I rarely post on Tumblr anymore, but I’m so proud of my new tattoo that I just had to share. This was done by the incredible Heather Maranda of Area 51 Tattoo - I first became familiar with her work from the TV series Epic Ink and once I found out she was going to be a guest artist at Wizard Con, I knew I had to have some of her work.

I wanted a piece that said Glee and Klaine and fandom to those in the know, but would only look like an awesome tattoo to those who aren’t. I think we’ve succeeded, don’t you?

[theawesomenessthatischriscolfer]

Success Circuit have posted something, and have linked Karyn Colfer’s Obituary. 

In their post they mentioned the guest book. Please do NOT sign this. It is not for fans to send their love. This is a book for family, friends and those who knew Karyn Personally, and who’s lives were perhaps touched by Karyn in some way.

Please learn that in some things, even if you are upset by it all, as fans, there are boundaries that must not be over-stepped.

We have no place in that guest book. 

Make donations in her name by all means, but please do not sign the remembrance book. 

Please keep a respectful distance in this. 

[garglerspy]

I agree with this. You can tell which are the fans because they say "Chris and family." Guess what, Hannah lost her mom, too. She doesn't deserve to be reduced to "and family" just because her brother is the famous one.

Twitter is for the fans. If you must express your condolences directly, say a couple words on Twitter.

He didn’t notice that they were no longer alone in the aisle. He didn’t see the foreign object until it had jabbed painfully into his ribs. He didn’t hear a single sound until a threatening voice gave a sharp command.

“Don’t. Move.”

Sorry guys. It was nice while it lasted, but Starkid messaged me and asked me to take down my videos, so I did.

A very starkid reunion - so stoked!

I’ve moved.

But unless you ask me, you won’t know where.

Send me mail so it comes to my email, because I’m not checking for any mentions anymore.

I have lots of Chris signing and darren stage door pics that I haven’t shared that I would love to but I’m finding it is just not worth my time anymore. I think it’s time to retire this blog - maybe move onto the other blog I have and start fresh. I don’t know what’s so offensive about me but I have almost two hundred followers and literally only TWO people ever comment and/or reblog anything. I’m making it my goal to be on my other blog by the end of July. I’m not going to tear this one down or anything because I have a bunch of posts saved by liking them and because I want garglerspy to always be me, but it is time to move on to find people who aren’t afraid to interact with me. I thought I found a group of people here but I was so wrong….

[garglerspy]

Wow. One note, and it was from someone I've never met before (and sorry, dear person - I didn't see a notification that you re blogged it - come into my message box to say hi sometime!). Sheesh. My new blog is very quiet but that's because I only have one follower. But at least I know it's because there's no one there to hear me rather than a whole bunch of people not even noticing I'm there.

Watching Darren’s bootleg made me realize I saw a completely different show. He was much more confident, sexy, energetic and disinhibited (is that even a word I think so) than during the first few weeks. The jokes also changed and evolved, and not only the chris colfur one. What I’m saying is that if someone has recorded a july bootleg I’ll start being religious and going to church every sunday

[garglerspy]

I was just watching it today and thought the same. He really grew and blossomed in the role. He was amazing to start but he was absolutely mind blowing at the end.
