His name is Jacob Blake. He was unarmed, trying to break up a fight. He was tasered and shot 7 times while trying to get into a car. His kids were watching.
This happened on 8/23. Havent found too many posts on tumblr about it yet. Police tear gassed protestors who gathered outside the police station. I'll keep an eye out for a gofundme/petition.
Edit:
sign the petition here
Donate to Milwaukee Freedom Fund to assist protestors with bail here
Edit 2:
Donate to his Gofundme here. As far as I know, this is the official Gofundme, it was mentioned in an article by the Milwaukee nbc station. Please consider making a contribution.
Edit 3:
There seems to be some confusion. He is reportedly alive and in critical condition as on 8/24.

I have been a Hanson fan since i was 9 years old. 1997 when i first heard MMMBop on MTV I was hooked. Middle of Nowhere took me down a rabbit hole of music and Tulsa, Tokyo, and the Middle of Nowhere let me go around the world with my new favorite band.
To me, liking Hanson was nothing out of the ordinary, but to the outside that wasn't the case.
"Eww black people aren't supposed to listen to Hanson."
"Wait, YOU like Hanson?"
"You're going to a Hanson concert? Have you looked in the mirror?"
"Did you forget you're black?"
Oh yeah, that part. I was black. The amount of bullying i endured for just listening to their music was almost expected, i just never thought it would be magnified because of my race. I wore a Hanson tshirt to school only ONE time my entire life - it was the last day of school in the 6th grade. I didn't understand the attention until a friend said to me, "Well come on. I mean you ARE black.." i went to the girl's bathroom and cried, turned my shirt inside out and wore it that way for the rest of the day.
Once i was old enough to go to shows it was something else. It was fun, exciting, and thrilling even. However I had to learn how to be uncomfortable. Uncomfortable with the comments I'd hear ("she looks like she belongs at a snoop dogg show" - Underneath Tour Chicago 2006), uncomfortable with the way event staff treated me because i look so out of place, uncomfortable with the stank eyes, side eyes, and glares, uncomfortable listening to the way fans talk about the black lady in the House of Blues bathroom - she's my people! That's somebody's grandmaw!
I saw a quote today that said, "Racism is so American that people think protesting racism means protesting America." I understand people refrain from getting into any political talk because it's a sensitive topic and well, that's your personal right.
But racism isn't political.
I was born with this skin. And i have a better chance at dying, failing, and suffering because of it.
Black Lives Matter. How can you love the culture and not the people? That's hypocrisy. The foundation of rock and roll and gospel is rooted in songs of slavery.
When i stand for 12 hours to be in the 2nd bar balcony at a show and i still have the energy to jump and dance and scream, it's because the music has touched my soul so deep that i catch that spirit. To stand there and say i love my band and my band loves me.
But now i ask myself, do they REALLY love me? Or do they love what my people brought to the music industry so that they could thrive?
These past two weeks have been emotionally exhausting so i turned to the music of the band that's brought me comfort all these years. I check their social media pages for further comfort, but aside from the NASA launch there was silence.
Silence.
And it took us, the black fans, (and some pretty pissed off white ones) to get Hanson to finally step out into the world to say something. A very generic, dry, bullshit something. How can a band profit off the images of poor African children yet can't find the courage to tell their black fans that their lives matter? Do they know what it's like for us? For their friends Dimitrius and Will? Do they care?
At this point, i don't know. As a black woman I've felt so much pain these past 2 weeks i don't think i even have any room for more grief. Will I go on listening to Hanson? Most likely yes. Will it sound the same? No.
All those years of pain and bullying and awkwardness and being the only black girl, the token black girl, the girl willing to be brave enough to be out of place and black in white scenery... for my favorite band to refuse to say that any of that matters.
That hurts. That really, really fucking hurts.
I see you and I hear you. I stand with you.
Very relatable! Iâm so sorry that you were mistreated at that show. I know what it feels like to be out of place. When they first came out I was excited in fact I asked for their cd for Christmas that year. Iâve fallen out of fandom but this confirmed it for me. When they first came out they mentioned so many black artists that influenced them. They like our music but not us.

Yep, Iâm bubbles.
Why are these porn sites wanting to follow me? Please stop!! This one of the main reasons why I'm not here as much. Its annoying!
Wild how country fans protested Bey performing at the CMT Awards and CMT deleted their tweets promoting her performanceâŚand here folks are welcoming Billy Ray to BET w/ open arms. Not saying he shouldnât be, but weâre so quick to invite someone to an imaginary cookout meanwhile country fans still want Lil Nas Xâs head on a platter lmaoooo. The same acceptance could be reciprocated but alasâŚ

So a friend of mine told me how yesterday his coworker died on the way to work due to speeding and crossed a red light (she was late for the third time, so Iâm guessing she was trying to avoid a write up). As soon as she crossed the light she was hit on the drivers side by a semi. The messed up part is that in less than an hour her table was cleared for a new worker. In less than 4 hours they had sent out the news that they are hiring. By the end of the day the hiring manager had contacted 4 people for an interview. Moral of the story is, these jobs donât care about your ass. They will replace you in a snap. Donât risk or waste your life trying to go above and beyond for a job that could care less about your wellbeing.
I always say this. The job stays and you Go.

Since once in a blue moon I actually discover a decent rule for adulting, and since I know I have followers a few years younger than me who are just entering the workforce, I want to tell you about a very important phrase.Â
âI wonât be available.â
Imagine youâre at work and your boss asks you to come in on Saturday. Saturday is usually your day offâcoming in Saturdays is not an obligation to keep your job. Maybe you were going to watch a movie with a friend, or maybe you were just going to lie in bed and eat ice cream for eight hours, but either way you really, really donât want to give up your day off.
If you consider yourself a millennial youâve probably been raised to believe you need to justify not being constantly at work. And if youâre a gen-Z kid youâre likely getting the same toxic messages that we did. So in a situation like that, you might be inclined to do one of three things:
Tell your boss youâd rather not give up your day off. Cave when they pressure you to come in anyway, since youâre not doing anything important.
Tell your boss youâd rather not give up your day off. Over-apologize and worry that you looked bad/unprofessional.
Lie and say youâve got a doctorâs appointment or some other activity that feels like an adequate justification for not working.
The fact is, it doesnât matter to your boss whether youâre having open heart surgery or watching anime in your underwear on Saturday. The only thing that affects them is the fact that you wonât be at work. So telling them why you wonât be at work only gives them reason to try and pressure you to come in anyway.
If you say âI wonât be available,â giving no further information, youâd be surprised how often thatâs enough. Be polite and sympathetic in your tone, maybe even say âsorry, but I wonât be available.â But donât make an excuse. If your boss is a professional individual, theyâll accept that as a ânoâ and try to find someone else.Â
But bosses arenât always professional. Sometimes theyâre whiny little tyrants. So, what if they pressure you further? The answer isâpolitely and sympathetically give them no further information.
âAre you sure youâre not available?â âSorry, but yes.â
âWhy wonât you be available?â âI have a prior commitment.â (Which you do, even if itâs only to yourself.)
âWhatâs your prior commitment?â âSorry, but thatâs kind of personal.â
âCan you reschedule it?â âIâm afraid not. Maybe someone else can come in?â
If you donât give them anything to work with, they canât pressure you into going beyond your obligations as an employee. And when they realize that, theyâll also realize they have to find someone else to come in and move on.
IMPORTANT!! PLEASE READ!!
Just like with many other parts of life, learn to say ânoâ to people. You are important. Donât kill yourself for another person, esp. if they are your boss.
I'm learning to say no more often even though I feel like disappointing people.

Oh my goodness!!! How adorable is that!! I want a hedgehog.
Iâm writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which Iâll be voting in the state of Tennessee. In the past Iâve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now. Â I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.
I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love. Â Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives. Â Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway.
So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting! đłđđ
