This made me cry. I wish all situations could be handled as perfectly as this

I just want to point out the core of what the diffuser did in this conversation

They recognized that the mother was also expressing a vulnerable truth about herself - that she felt like a bad mother because her child was expressing gender feelings she wasn’t equipped to help with - and met her where she was, a concerned parent with limited information - to point her where she should be heading, research and resources.

Im going to make more of an effort to stop reflexively pushing people away when they express biases and make more of an effort to hear the underlying fears when i can

“it’s easier to love ourselves when we feel loved as ourselves”

damn that is so powerful though

This is so disgusting to watch. They are 12 year-old boys, who “matched the description” and had to experience this horror. A little boy crying scared to death and the other one telling him to stop , because he wants to stay alive is what makes me cry. Just try to understand this- they know the way cops treat black boys and trying to calm themselves down TO SURVIVE THIS. How horrifying is that?

This is why we take a knee in silent protest…but the Son’s, Brother’s and Nephews of veterans are told we hate the military. Wake the f@*k up people.

This is Alexandra Bell’s work for her series called “counter narratives” who is an incredible artist from Chicago (now based in NYC, I believe) who revises mainstream media pieces about Black people to actually reflect the reality of Black folks and to make white media bias visible. She has one about Serena Williams and the whitensupremacist who attacked demonstrators in Charlottesville with his car.

Bell visited and spoke at the art museum I used to work at and put her work up across the university campus. She’s a fkn icon. Follow Bell’s work.

Avatar Instagram AU. Everything is the same, but there is Instagram somehow. Partially did this because I wanted to make the “followed by prince Zuko” joke.
