adult life is truly just thinking “I NEED TO CLEAN” while dealing with the 17 other things that have a hard deadline
a concept: i’m in a warm bed with lots of blankets and i have no obligations to be anywhere. i’m calm and safe and happy and you are here with me
learn to be done. not mad, not bothered, just done. protect your peace at all costs.
nothing feels as good as starting to read again when you haven't held a book in your hand for such a long time and now the setting sun is in your room and there's paper under your fingers and you feel so good about letting the words float into you again
Just leaving this here...
I know that Hungary is not a big country, but please pray for us!

A few months later... It's getting worse...
Constitutional amendment proposed to enshrine defence of so-called ‘Christian values’
'A Fairy Tale for Everyone' has become the target of homophobic attacks
Also this...
i know we are all caught up in a global pandemic, but in the meantime my country is demolishing lgbt rights one step at a time. i know there isn't much you can do, but please at least, hear us. to know that our voices are heard helps and it makes me feel a little less hopeless
Its okay to read only 5 books or less in a year, some people like to take their time, some people cant read more than a hour a day. I hate to see that book consumerism is glorified, that idea of reading 50+ books is normalized. Some people are wliw readers, some people are really picky with what they read.
Booktube , booklr is great for insparation however it sometimes turns reading into competition. It makes you feel like every second that you're not reading shameful.
But its okay, take your time; devour, savour, the books you are reading. Its okay if you reread a book. Books are to be absorbed, not skimmed trough. Take your time.
-a reminder to myself
You made it to the end of this year and I am proud of you. Don't be so hard on yourself, please.
sometimes all you can do is lay under 3 large blankets while holding onto a stuffed animal
take a step back. breathe. you can handle this. take a minute to compose yourself; rest and regroup. you have grit, you can make it through this.
to be clear 1984 is the name of the book that quote is from, the year he wrote it was 1949
Just about an hour ago, police officers shove man in Niagara Square to the ground (WARNING: Graphic). Video from: @MikeDesmondWBFO
https://twitter.com/WBFO/status/1268712530358292484
uhhhhhhhhh hey everybody this is a video of a cop shoving an old man to the ground and marching past his body as he lies unconscious with a pool of blood forming under his head
those who know me know i’m not one for hyperbole. that’s literally what happens in this video
The twitter thread has the updates attached:
After this the entire police force of like 57 officers resigned from the emergency response team, not out of moral disgust but out of SOLIDARITY FOR THE OFFICERS that were suspended. this is what ACAB means, cops support other bastard cops
i see a lot of my black mutuals in pain and struggling mentally lately so if any of you need it here’s a post of mental health resources made by a black woman specifically for black people struggling right now… i love you all so much please take care of yourselves
I hope he wins the lawsuit, a police officer was finally doing the right thing and they penalize him for not being a racist monster!
his name is stephen mader and not only did he refuse to shoot, he actively wanted to help the man (ronald ‘rj’ williams) because he could tell that he was only acting out because of mental illness. rj williams was suicidal and holding an unloaded gun and, while mader didn’t shoot him, a fellow officer (ryan kuzma) did and murdered him on the spot. here is the source and here’s to hoping rj williams gets justice
“Saying the words ‘Just shoot me’ sent up the red flag that he was just trying to harm himself and no one else … That’s what made me make my decision. He needed help” I hate this fucking world. The guy was actually trying to do his job by actually desculating the situation the right way (desculating these days apparently just means shoot them) and was fired for “failing to eliminate a threat.”
HE WON THE LAWSUIT AND GOT $175,000
I read this whole story. It is wild !! The conversations between him and his ex coworkers about what went down that day 😧😶
Listen to it all here:
A shocking story of police and lethal force. Just not the one you might expect.
when I say there are no good cops, this is part of the reason why.
“good cops” lose their jobs for doing the right thing.
“good cops” die mysteriously after whistleblowing.
“good cops” are forced to choose between their livelihood and becoming just like the rest.
the LAPD is having a town hall and getting fucking eviscerated
Caption (because the in-video CCs are useless):
President: “Yes, we can [hear you].”
Speaker: “Great. Uh, first thing’s first, Chief Moore, you’ve gotta do a better job at pretending you care about this, man. I’ve been watching you roll your eyes and offer half-hearted smirks, acting like a teenager who’s falling asleep in detention. Are you not aware of the war crimes your department’s doing, or are you just that impatient to do more of them?
“I see a lot of you, particularly [Commissioner Steve] Soboroff, only react when people use profanity in their remarks. If you think curse words are bad, wait until you hear about the six hundred-plus murders your department has committed over the last seven years! As long as [Chief of Police, Michel] Moore’s out here equating peaceful protesters with cops who murder black people, you all could pretend to be as angry about murder as the F word, OK, kids?
“I know you’re all having a rough day, what with everyone here telling you you’re bad at your jobs. Have you considered being good at your jobs. If not you could find new jobs in retail or restaurants! I know how desperate [Mayor Eric] Garcetti is to get Angelenos consuming again during a global pandemic. (Where were the curfews then, by the way? Weird.)
“Chief Moore is morally obligated to resign. Mikey, I know you said you didn’t mean protesters are as much to blame for George Floyd’s murder as his murderers. That’s a lie! It is what you meant! And we all know it. Mikey’s made it clear in his racist actions and empty platitudes that he doesn’t care about the well-being of his constituents. He loves to teargas them, blind them, force them indoors with curfews that are announced only a half hour before they take effect, and racially profile as he does so! Don’t think I didn’t hear about how yesterday you sent out an alert in English saying curfew started at 5 pm, and sent out an alert right after in Spanish saying it started at 6! What’s up with that, bud?
“All of your cute Zoom background photos of the city won’t trick us into thinking you care about anyone but yourselves and what’s in your pockets. To close with a James Cameron quote, “Cops think of all noncops as less than they are, stupid, weak, and evil. They dehumanize the people they are sworn to protect and desensitize themselves in order to do that job.” That’s you pigs to a T.
“Black lives matter, act like it. Happy Tuesday.”
“Have you considered being good at your jobs?” I lost it. This guy is so fucking articulate, I highly recommend watching with sound if able.
Potent minimalist art sends a strong message about police and vigilante brutality in America
Journalist and artist Shirin Barghi has created a gripping, thought-provoking series of graphics that not only examines racial prejudice in today’s America, but also captures the sense of humanity that often gets lost in news coverage. Titled “Last Words,” the graphics illustrate the last recorded words by Brown and other young black people — Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant and others — who have been killed by police in recent years.
Let us not forget their voices

These are a few of mine and I hope you'll give them a try, because these stories are absolutely beautiful. This is the time to boost black voices, listen and learn. Do better, check our privilege and understand that we may never understand the scope of the struggles that black people are facing. But we can do our part. I stand with you. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
