it’s crazy cause stuff like this cost money to build and install… put the money towards fixing the actual issue
This is wildly unjust and disgusting. If you see these in your community, please say something. Speak to your local organizers and get involved in whatever capacity you’re able.
This level of policing property is toxic. It’s anti-human.
a lot of things like this are also designed to be “artsy”. if you see weird abstract chairs or futuristic styles of subway benches or statues / boulders in little alcoves, a lot of it is intentional to keep people from being able to sit comfortably or lay down in that space. ex:
Who knows about Sally Hemings?
She was Thomas Jefferson's slave.
Called his "mistress," but how can you be a mistress when you were a slave, a child, and could not consent? Had absolutely no choice?
She bore him 6, perhaps as many as 8 children. He kept her locked in a basement room.
The room was recently unearthed, and DNA evidence has proven the lineage of Sally's children.
She was beteeen 12 and 14 years old when he started raping her, and Jefferson was in his forties. He freed the children that he had with her, but not Sally. Her daughter had to free her mother after Jefferson passed away.
This is not taught in schools. This side of history. We are supposed to consider the founding fathers as great men, fighting for justice and freedom, guided by God... when they are evil men. Selfish men who did nothing, save that it was for their own aggrandisement, personal benefit, and financial gain.
I would also like to add that Sally was Jefferson's dead wife's half sister. Sally's mother was raped by her owner, who was Martha (wife of Thomas) Jefferson's father.
These people left a legacy.
A legacy of entitlement under the most criminal of circumstances, and White Supremacist beliefs which pervade U.S. Society and Culture, to this very day.
can we just agree that colleges and universities are handling this pandemic terribly
I swear if these last few months have taught me anything about fandoms it’s that putting your heart and soul into stanning a celebrity is the dumbest thing you can do for your sense of self. Like I’ve seen full grown adults scraping the bottom of the barrel to excuse their favorite celebrities actions and look like absolute clowns going to bat for someone who doesn’t even know they exist. Watch your favorite shows, support the actor/actress, fall in love with a character, but don’t sacrifice your own self worth for nothing
Justice for Elijah McClain
August 24th, 2019, 23-year-old Elijah McClain was walking home after buying some tea at a local convenience store. According to Elijah’s family, Elijah, who was anemic, preferred to wear a ski mask to keep his face warm while he was walking. The Aurora Police Department received a call of a “suspicious man”. This call resulted in Elijah’s death. After the McClain family requested the bodycam footage from the officers on scene it was reported that in the footage,
“He is laying on the ground vomiting, he is begging, he is saying, ‘I can’t breathe.’ One of the officers says, ‘Don’t move again. If you move again, I’m calling in a dog to bite you,’” -Mari Newman (the McClain’s lawyer)
When the paramedics arrived they administered a dose of Ketamine to the already unconscious Elijah to “sedate” him. He was pronounced dead August 27th, 2019, at only 23 years old of a heart attack. Denver 7 News stated, “…they couldn’t determine whether McClain’s death was an accident, was due to natural causes, or is a homicide related to the police department’s use of a carotid hold”. The officers on the scene were placed on temporary leave, however, they are back in the field with no charges.

Not gonna lie I would love a romantic connection right now. Would be nice
my mom did many really really good parenting things that i didn’t realize were unusual until i became an adult and heard about other people’s less positive experiences
i will pass on to Current Youths ™ a perspective she gave me back when i was maybe…. 12
which was hugely impactful for my mental health
while most of my friends had parents who treated college as a default & anything other than that as a failure, this was what my mom told me
broken down to Bullet Point Principles
college might not be the path you want to take
there are other ways to study the topics that interest you
if you go to college, make sure you’re going either for the love of learning or with a clear end goal (a degree, certification, breadth of knowledge, etc) in mind
you might end up wanting to go to a trade school to do something with your hands
you might not want any post-high-school education at all
your career won’t define you and neither will your career opportunities
you can stay true to yourself even if you aren’t a high-powered career woman clawing your way up the ranks
in fact you’ll PROBABLY feel better doing menial mindless jobs & focusing your life around your spare time creative pursuits
[kitkat note about this one: absolutely true for me, may not be true for you]
you don’t have to find a dream job
you don’t have to have a detailed life plan
you don’t have to follow the expected path or do what people tell you to just because they think you’d be good at it
you don’t have to change the world
you don’t have to make your passions your career
i ended up dropping out of high school for a large number of different reasons. but pearl clutching is unnecessary, this ^^ life outlook was not one of them. i’d have dropped out whether or not she told me this
having all of this in mind meant that i knew my life WASN’T OVER after i dropped out. so i failed at traditional education. so i wasn’t gonna meet the potential everyone said i had. so i wasn’t gonna go to college. so i was gonna disappoint some people. so my life was gonna be harder.
so what? i still had everything else
i am so so SO grateful to my mom for this. it was such a healthy outlook on school and future expectations & it gave me total freedom to do and be who i want to be. & that is why i’m sharing it. because when you’re in high school, EVERYTHING is ABOUT high school. failures in high school feel like the end of the world
they’re not. i promise. don’t trick yourself into thinking they are
People who act like Jenna Marbles has never done anything wrong and had nothing to apologize for and people are evilly throwing her off the platform are literally missing the point of her entire video. No hate mob was chomping at the bit waiting for her to quit, there was no “cancel culture” bullshit, she realized she had hurt people and had the capacity to unknowingly hurt more people and decided that was a burden too great to bear, how difficult is that to understand? Imagine having the capacity to hurt twenty million people, I don’t blame her for leaving.
Also, she explicitly said that people calling her an “unproblematic queen” made her uncomfortable, if you love her so much why the fuck would you continue doing that? You people are deranged.
It's also important to delineate that it is not up to white people to forgive her. It is up to individual black and Asian people if they judge her apology as sincere and forgive her, not white people or non-black or non-Asian poc.
Yes what she did was 8 & 9 years ago, but just because something was a while ago doesn't mean it didn't happen. When folks are rightfully mad at her for doing racist shit, they get to be! Just because you think she's funny and has grown as a person doesn't mean that she's absolved automatically.

4/5☆ it was really good! i liked the characters, the world was incredible and, although it wasn't the deepest/most complicated thing even, it was a lot of fun and just what i needed to de-stress. an action-packed, dark and yet light-hearted fantasy/dystopian, so nice

a compulsive obsession with cleanliness is beaten into us from birth, don’t curse, don’t scream, that’s dirty, don’t wear that, don’t touch that, that’s dirty, have sex, don’t have sex, that’s dirty, you made a mess, clean it up, your brother made a mess, your father made a mess, clean it up, pills instead of a gun, blood’s dirty, don’t play in a dress, you’ll get it dirty, open the windows and boil water with cinnamon and vanilla when da smokes, it’s dirty, older brother not learning he smokes til five years later, he can’t know, that’s dirty, don’t want things, don’t need things, desire can’t be pure, not yours, are you a virgin? have someone else’s hands taken that cleanliness? would that be so bad? of course it would, doesn’t he know there’s no cleanliness left in me to take? he doesn’t care, he’ll take my filth if it’s all i have, as long as he’s taking, as long as it’s all i have left, don’t love her, don’t touch her, that’s dirty, ive cleaned this kitchen ten times, it’s still dirty, da spilled his drink clean it up, he can’t know how bad he’s getting, this house must be clean, clean of him, clean of sin, clean of evidence at least, i’m not clean anymore but i try to be, i have to try, i can’t be dirty, and now it’s not about staying clean but only appearing to be, plato said there’s a class of woman who are receptacles for filth, a sewage system of women at the bottom, and i’m part of that, it feels like it, and now i’m a hopeless cause, i’m tainted, i’m dirty, and i can’t let it spread, what’s around me must stay clean, i can’t infect the world around me, i have to hold the filth inside and keep the world safe, but every woman is this way so what world is there to care for, because no one cares, no one sees, but they don’t want it dirty either, do they.
I think I might give up everything, just ask me to
