After more than a DECADE of organizing, Cyntoia Brown has finally been released from jail. Brown, a victim of child sex trafficking, was sentenced to life in prison at 16 for killing a man who she felt threatened by during her forced sex work. After nearly half of her life spent behind bars, she remain on parole for the next 10 years. All love and power to the movement that helped secure her release! The fight for justice for Cyntoia Brown and other victims of human trafficking is far from over, but thank you to the countless voices who helped bring her home today.

She is not free. Parole is not free. Conditioned release is not free.

“Conditions of her parole include her compliance with an approved release plan, that she maintain employment or educational enrollment and that she participate in regular counseling sessions, said Dorinda Carter, spokeswoman for the Tennessee Department of Corrections. She's also required to perform at least 50 hours of community service, including working with at-risk youth.”

She is still under the control of the State. She still has to live her life according to the State. She has to maintain employment (which is difficult for convicted people) perform community service and adhere to some undisclosed “release plan”.

She should have never been targeted. She should not have a record. It is absolutely a win that she is release from physical prison but people really need to continue pushing for her total pardon. She has lived under this long enough.

i’ve been vaguely formulating words for a post for months about the “glowup” trend specifically when someone uses a photo from like age 10 or 13 and then a photo now of them as an adult and everyone is like “there is hope!!!!”

bc the subtle (even if unintentional) message that it’s possible to Be ugly at age 10 and that we should’ve somehow been what?? hotter?? more attractive, as literal children, is EXTREMELY disturbing and definitely part of why we’re seeing elementary and middle schoolers doing makeup and wearing clothes to present themselves as adults on social media like instagram.

everyone shares those “me at 14 vs. 14 year olds now” memes with a modern 14 yr old perfectly contoured with puckered lips but nobody considers that by sharing photos of ourselves as children and suggesting that we were ugly and lame and embarrassing, we’re teaching kids who are that age now that they should AVOID looking their age.

and then today I saw a glowup post that literally featured a photo of a 20 year old now and a photo of them as an Actual Toddler and I realize maybe I just don’t even HAVE the words

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

stop saying you were “ugly as a kid” where kids can hear you. kids can’t be ugly, because no one should be holding them to any standard that judges them by their looks! and people will say “okay, but be honest with yourself, some kids just are prettier than others.”

No! Some kids are considered “prettier” than others based on a set of made-up standards set by adults!

No child should ever be viewed through the lens of “attractive” or “not attractive,” because they’re children, and when you refer to your childhood self as ugly or lame or embarrassing, the children around you look for the features you’re referring to in themselves and try to avoid/erase them. And if they can’t, they just settle for hating that part of themselves.

It isn’t about you anymore. The children are listening. They’re watching. Be mindful.

reminder that bodyposipanda is not revolutionary at all, her ideology is full of white feminism and she rips off ideas from other people in the body positive community while trying to pass herself off as “fat” and benefiting from thin privilege

bro, a lot of men NEED to go to therapy not just for their own sake but for the sake of every person they have power over in their lives

[ratguzzler-deactivated20181213]

if you are a grown ass adult man and you refuse to handle your personal issues that directly negatively impact the people around in varying degrees of harm, even leading up to abuse, that’s YOUR responsibility to fix. no one is saying abusive men dont have ‘reasons’ to be the way they are, but that doesnt change the fact that no one who isnt them can fix their shit

Stone of the week: Hematite

Hematite comes from iron ore, and is found in locations where hot springs are common, such as Yellowstone National Park in the United States, England, Australia, Brazil and South Africa. 

Hematite works with the root chakra to keep one grounded, dissolve worry and anxiety, and dispel negative energy that may be incoming from outside sources. 

It also aids the nervous system and creates positive physical energy, which may lead users to feeling more productive and motivated to get things done. It can serve as a great “clearing out” stone, to eliminate all feelings of “can’t-do-it-iveness” that one may feel when taking on big projects.
