Remember Rahul Dubuy who sheltered protestors in his Washington D. C. home? He’s now being hounded by police when he leaves his home. Here he is out for a walk being followed by a crowd of police on bicycles and in cars, flashing their lights.

[ID: An Instagram post by Rahul Dubuy @alvarezdubuy showing a screen capture of a video of the top of his head and a crowd of police on bicycles and in cars following along behind him. He says “My evening stroll brings unnecessary followers... These are OUR streets. There is nothing to see here ‘Authorities’. Keep moving and return to humanity. Godspeed.”]

Here’s the original story for those who missed it.

Man who sheltered protesters from police says he saw "horrific use of force"

"It was unfathomable," Rahul Dubey said of the police violence used against peaceful protesters outside his home.

just because he/him lesbians might confuse cis people and make it harder for them to understand being nonbinary and/or transgender as a whole, doesn’t mean it’s okay to guilt trip them for existing. if a cis person misgenders you because “I met a lesbian who uses he/him pronouns once so that’s basically what all trans men are”, it’s that cis person’s fault, not he/him lesbians’. 

[joviilius]

femme is a lesbian identity, fem is an adjective for anyone who is aligned with or identifies with femininity. its a subtle difference but its still an important one

Non-cutesy self-care tips

Have you been eating well? If not, eat a piece of fruit or a handful of nuts. You need vitamins and protein.

You’re probably not drinking enough water.

When is the last time you showered? Take a cold shower to wake you up or a hot shower if you need to relax.

Do the laundry that’s been piling up. You’ve been wearing that sweatshirt for too long.

Take care of the dishes in the sink that have been there for three days and have started to stress you out.

Did you brush your teeth this morning? How about your hair?

Listen to the messages on your phone that have been there for days.

Go outside for at least a couple of minutes. You don’t even have to do anything; just sit down. Breathe in the fresh air and get some vitamin D.

Open your blinds. Your room is too dark and it’s probably making you tired.

Spend some time with your pet. Pet them, feed them, take them for a walk or clean out their litter box. Caring for them will make you feel useful and responsible and give you something to do.

The self-care posts that tell you to take a bath and eat chocolate and read a book are good but do what needs to be done first. Eating chocolate when you haven’t showered in four days and you can’t remember when the last time you changed your underwear was won’t make you feel better. It will probably make you feel worse. Clean yourself up; clean your surroundings up. Then take care of the little things. Tackle life one thing at a time.

hey so for those who aren’t aware, there’s a LOT of shady shit going on in cities across the country, in regards to fireworks in predominantly Black neighborhoods. here’s the full twitter thread. it looks like police forces are firing off fireworks that sound like gunshots and bombs in efforts to destabilize / traumatize BLM organizers and protestors, and are funneling these fireworks into these communities. it’s also a tactic known to be really effective in drowning out sounds of actual gunfire and artillery so that’s horrifying.

PLEASE rb this because i dont see it mentioned anywhere on this site, and it needs to be. and feel free to add to this.

I think nonblack people should stop making blm themed art & like merch, even when profits are being donated, and maybe just promote black peoples art that is doing the same thing. A lot of y’all are fishing for promo/followers, a lot of y’all are speaking on things you don’t experience (an ex being the print I just saw abt black generational trauma made by a nonblack person?? Hello??). So yeah just stop.

Just......buy & promote black peoples art....we don’t need 10,000 nonblack ppl selling BLM or black power fist stickers (stop using that symbol altogether) on redbubble.
