85% of all inmates at the rikers complex are pretrial detainees. the site is slated by law to be shut by 2026: five years of needless suffering that has, by its own exceptional, horrific standards, only gotten worse in recent years
This is heart wrenching.
Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura) has been suffering from Dementia for years. She’s lots most of her money, the home she loved and there is a fight for her conservatorship
Her sister has set up a GoFundMe site for her. The link is at the very bottom of this post. Please share this information.
Read the article below and please donate if you can. Even a couple dollars will help.

Y’all went hard for Free Brittany over conservatorship now do the same for Nichelle
So I read the entire thing, and this one is slightly more complex than “dad is abusive conservator.” So I’m going to lay out here what’s going on:
1) Nichelle has dementia.
2) In 2010, this guy approached her all “hey so I want to make this movie with you as a costar, very good contract, please accept.”
3) she did.
4) he was lying.
5) during the next several years he moved onto her property and became a squatter, billing all his utilities and expenses to Nichelle. In other words, she’s paying for the privilege of him using her property.
6) during this time he also managed to get her to give him power of attorney over both financial AND MEDICAL decisions. Much of her savings has just kind of vanished, and it seems likely he’s been leeching it away.
Okay. So, recap: this guy is NOT a conservator. He got power of attorney, which is actually a very good and useful thing when appropriately applied. (Basically, it means if you become incapacitated you’ve already selected a person to handle certain kinds of affairs for you.) In this case, however, it’s pretty clear POA is being abused and seriously misused.
7) Nichelle’s son managed to become her conservator, with the goal of kicking the deadbeat off the property and ensuring his mom has access to her hard-earned funds so she can be old with dignity. (In a perfect world, this is how conservatorship would always be used. His interest is in protecting the person, not making a profit.) He has become her primary caretaker.
I don’t know how advanced Nichelle’s dementia is, but I can tell you from experience that as the disease progresses, being a caretaker can become a full-time job, and that, yes—this is one of those extremely limited cases where conservatorship might actually be a good idea. My grandmother had Alzheimer’s (not all dementia is caused by Alzheimer’s, but all cases of Alzheimer’s are dementia), and nearly burned down the house once because she turned on the stove, forgot she’d turned it on, and went to take a nap. Having someone of sound mind who can make arrangements for things like appropriate in-home care so this doesn’t happen is deeply important.
8) deadbeat is fighting to get conservatorship removed—and possibly reassigned to himself. That part is a little less clear. What is clear is that he does not have Nichelle’s best interests at heart.
9) this fundraiser is to help with legal fees to get deadbeat off the property and help assist Nichelle and her son in securing what’s left of her assets.
So just so we’re clear: in this case we are actually fighting FOR a conservatorship. However, this conservatorship is to protect someone with an actual medical diagnosis that means she has diminished mental capacity to care for herself (literally, that’s what dementia is: loss of memory and cognition on a scale significant enough to interfere with daily life), and to ensure that what is hers, REMAINS hers.
Reblogging this version for the commentary, since people seem to be unclear about the situation.
Funniest thing in the MCU is when tony stark doxxes himself because he says he's not afraid of the villain and like literally an hour later they blow up his house and nearly kill him

no ad is as powerful as a tumblr mutual who has a new hyperfixation
my friend just told me that there's a secret second dashboard that solely contains posts from people you've turned on post notifications for, and when i click the link in the messages it opens it within the tumblr app, so the tumblr app also has a secret second dashboard for post notification blogs, and the only way to access it is to open the link for it within the app.
i literally love tumblr
i had no idea until now that outside the met gala there were protests organized by the stonewall protests, black queer/trans activists, for BLM against the gala. there were violent arrests made of the protestors and you can donate to the bail fund at the cashapp $stonewallprotests and find more info at their ig stonewallprotests
"I could fix him" bestie he's wearing a black and white suit at the met gala, he's unfixable:/
so there’s some confusion about the met gala. let me help. it’s ok if the celebrities i like don’t adhere to theme and just wear pretty dresses. the celebrities i don’t like, however? the exit sign is the to the right.
next year somebody needs to make these fuckers a Pinterest Board because what the actual hell.

Ciara chose a fun, fabulous dress that honors the theme. And then she showed up to a bunch of boring looks, unimaginative attempts a the theme, and disregard for the theme altogether. Mood.
I’m LITERALLY obsessed with Channing Tatum just showing up to the Met Gala in a black suit and saying it was an homage to JFK.
Tears rolling down my face
