taylor literally has the power to make everything sound romantic…… picking up bottles on new years day, autumn air, painting walls blue, leaving up christmas lights, icy cold winters…..
london boy is such a genius and hilarious tongue-in-cheek song though and we don’t talk about it enough tbh….. like literally the lyric “so i guess all the rumours are true, you know i love a london boy” has a double-meaning because even though she’s literally going “yep, i love a london boy (joe), the rumours are true it’s correct!!!” she’s also being super sarcastic and saying “lmaoooo the rumours are true, i do love a good old british boy” because the media always goes on about how taylor’s always dating boys from england (god i love the english)….. tbh i could just write an essay on how funny this song is
you can’t spell music industry without taylor swift
taylor was def trying to troll us when she made a mash up of the two songs with the longest titles
just thinking about the fact that taylor is going to be re-recording fifteen literally 15 years later now she’s achieved those bigger dreams of hers and found who she’s supposed to be............. lmao i’m fine
obviously Taylor is not going to end racism either but god damn if you’re going to cry on camera about being on the right side of history and taking the tape off of your mouth then at least act like you care when it’s time to ACT and not just say you’re going to do something.
Activism
Supporting BLM or any social justice movement is not limited to the picket lines. Protests aren’t for everyone. But no matter your skill or ability, you can still drive change!
Protesting is one great way to get involved, but there’s dozens of others:
Artists
Develop your own creative take on the movement/issues and make it public...
Take photos and film
Draw, create, paint
Sing
Dance
Film
Writers
Blog
Tweet
Submit to journals, newspapers, magazines
Write and email public officials
Scientists
Study injustices
Give light to injustices at professional conferences
Bring your findings into the public sphere to elevate the conversation
Act as a subject matter expert in hearings and other environments to promote the issue
Educators
Teach future generations about social injustices
Promote conversations and events on school grounds around the issues
Support and sponsor student-led movements and clubs
Drive students and staff to think differently and think critically
Share resources
White collar professionals
Join Diversity & Inclusion Councils and related Committees
Share resources internally
Be an ally to your coworkers who are facing injustices
Recruited open-minded employees who will drive similar change
Blue collar professionals
Many of the bullets above might apply to you
Get your union involved to drive change in the union itself and the organization you work in
Speakers and community leaders
Host rallies and events to promote awareness
Give voice to those who might need help finding their own
Use your social capital to inspire change in others
Engineers and data scientists

Students
Form and join organizations and clubs around social injustices
Speak up in class! Force peers to talk about difficult topics
Stay open-minded and keep learning everything you can
Medical professionals
Lean in on public health research
Promote and implement practices that decrease the impact of social injustices on health
Advocate mental health just as much as physical health
Create a safe space for patients to speak about how the injustice impacts them
Children and teens
Read and watch content about social injustices. (Teachers, librarians, parents can help)
Ask questions to make your friends, family, and teachers think
Embrace people who might look, act, or think differently than yourself
If you see bullying, confront it. Odds are, whatever is being said/done stems from social injustice
Everyone!
(Many of the bullets above probably apply to you too)
Vote, campaign, and advocate for candidates who will change the system
Volunteer at organizations at the forefront of the cause
Donate money for those same orgs^
Publicly talk about the social injustice with friends, family, and online
Support those around you who are impacted by social injustices
Consider running for public office (many roles aren’t full-time jobs)
Black Power and Gay Pride aren’t mutually exclusive. the first pride was a riot led by trans black women.

Today, Breonna Taylor would have turned 27. In honor of her, please consider donating to the gofundme her family has set up, and help those in her community who are fighting for her by donating to Louisville Community Bail Fund . Also, please sign petitions: including the petition set up by the Action PAC (it is aiming for 1 million signatures), the petition that’s been going around social media (it is aiming for 4.5 million signatures), the MoveOn petition (it is aiming for 600,000 signatures), and the ColorofChange petition (it has reached it’s goal of 750,000 signatures, but you can still sign). All of these petitions urge the Kentucky government to hire a special prosecutor to investigate the three police officers responsible for her death, to investigate the Louisville police department, to ensure the LMPD pays her family, and to get Congress to discuss the constitutionality of no-knock warrants. Additionally, visit the website set up by the political committee her family contacted, where you can make calls to key officials.
I got this from a Google Doc but I think it’s hard to access because of how many people who has requested it but here is the tweet with the links to every petition you need to sign (not just ones concerning Breonna) and other place to donate. There are templates provided on that document to help you write an email or make a call to certain officials. I provided links to their emails/websites, in case that’s easier to make use of than making phone calls.

With the FBI opening the case again, let’s ensure that the 3 officers involved in the murder face jail time, and that the demands in these petitions are met.
NO JUSTICE NO PEACE!
