“1 in 3 urban youth display the symptoms of mild to severe PTSD. And when you compare that data to the military data what you find is urban youth are actually twice as likely as soldiers returning from Iraq to get PTSD.”
This presentation is crucial to educators interested in the future and empowerment of urban youth of color. View the entire video here.

“My enemies were planning on killing unarmed liberals. The police and the FBI helped my enemies. Once my enemies discovered I was not bringing a bong to a gun fight, they left.
The police will never disarm white supremacists and other right wing thugs. When people clamor for more background checks or denying firearm ownership to people on terrorist watch lists, they fail to understand the mentality of the people that make those lists.”

As a function of time, avoidance distorts. Contorts. Things change. Then they stay the same.

remembering is like praying. it is spiritual. ritual. accounting for pain, harm, joy, and laughter. forgetting is sin. doomed to repeat in error, broken, a record erased but never really rewritten. i hate to forget. but i have. it has been medicine, the kind that treats symptoms; whitewash over smiles and tears, alike. i have forgotten. accidental palimpsest really just traces over the traces, over the traces, over and over, ink clotting, ripping parchment, strong as it should be it breaks. broken. remembering, a healing prayer, without judgment or regret. to remember, to care, for now, through reconciling with the past.
when in doubt just ask a dog
someone send “BOOF!” to your crush/significant other and share the results with the rest of the class please
better response than expected!
IS THIS WHY YOU SENT ME THAT MESSAGE?!

Watch: Viral clip shows a woman in genderless clothing being ejected from a ladies’ bathroom by the police.
I saw this tagged as transphobia and while the laws and atmosphere that surrounds this is very much grounded in transphobia, I think it’s worth mentioning that that’s a cis woman.
So you know.
Fucking thanks, TERFs. Aren’t you glad bathroom laws trying to prevent “men” from entering the ladies room has caused two male police officers to eject cis women from the bathroom already? Since that’s the only women you care about maybe you might actually spend longer than .5 seconds thinking about possible fucking reprocussions of this shit now.
Oh my goooooddddd this shit is ridiculous. Like, this law has always been complete and utter transphobic bullshit, but here’s the god damn proof it will never work the way these idiots want it to. You cannot determine someone’s gender by the clothes they wear. Fuck, I get misgendered and called a man all the time. Do I need to bring my I.D. next time I take a shit? I am so tired of this garbage. Let people use the damn bathroom they want to.
But this is exactly the outcome of laws like this: policing and punishing people who deviate from the gender norm. The direct target is of course trans people (with the brunt of the focus on trans women), but anyone who doesn’t fit with the norms will also be impacted by the law because now there’s a witch hunt against anyone who doesn’t seamlessly blend in.
Isn’t it terribly ironic that this law was intended to prevent men from entering a woman’s bathroom and harassing women (which wasn’t actually happening) and it has directly resulted in male police officers entering the women’s bathroom and harassing a woman?
If you’re horrified at cis women being treated like this, you sure as shit better be horrified at trans women being treated like that too.
There have been at least 3 other incidents of cis men entering women’s bathrooms under the guise of “protecting” them from trans women. These bills literally gave cis men a better excuse for invading the women’s restroom.
it’s also ironic that TERFs who support this sort of law will claim to want to abolish gender and gender roles, yet now if you don’t conform to very feminine standards you’re at risk of being accused of as “not really a woman.” break out your 50’s dresses and heels, gals, you gotta look like a proper woman to take a shit now thanks to TERFs and transphobes.
this is what happens when radical feminism, ultra conservatism, and state sanctioned gender policing shake hands
palimpsest
i. trying to erase that which has already been erased and written over. imprint on imprint on imprint of text erased, new words laid out deemed inadequate and erased again; the ever changing story persistently over traces left from before. it cannot be the same as a copy, or written on a fresh surface. the black lines, bumpy, form meaning in excess of the literal form. i am never new. i am never old. i am always becoming.
ii. bodies have been here before. i’ve tried to forget them and cling to them and leave them behind but they fade, and they stay. when new bodies come along, the imprint left on my body from others who came and left can be fingered, traced, followed, avoided, a treaded pathway, a treasure map, a detour route. my body.
and this body, yours, will you last? will it last? will you fade? will it fade? have you felt the grooves you’ve created? your fingers carefully tracing over and over lest they forget; lips impress my tingling skin greedily. have you felt the old residual traces fade as you forge through, around, beyond them? exploring outside the lines created, testing neglected parts and deepening others passionately, or tenderly. what curiosity guides your drawing? what desire? what will your body make, on mine?
iii. childhood routine over and over the same routines trace over and over darken deepen survival dependence growing stifled unplanned etchings from writing the story over and over erasing rewriting won’t alter the sequence subtle it lingers following controlling routines no longer make sense yet play over survival dependence… adapting growing.
iv. palimpsest: when you can't really get rid of the traces left from your past yet are attempting to write a new story over them. the lingering hints of text on your body, trauma. the parts you simultaneously erased but which give you strength, resilience. resilience and trauma written into the same story of your childhood, which then made so much sense. and now you have worked so hard to erase the past, without even meaning to. but traces are left. connected. and the story you’re writing cannot be written without working with those hints, connecting those smudges left from surviving and growing in order to understand what they mean, and what to do with them. making sure to carefully follow the grooves left on your body as it moves and hurts in ways you have never understood. a book. your body. learning that you can’t just erase and write over the beginning. it’s not something you can ignore, but it’s also not something to be tossed out. it got you through, even though it hurts you. it also keeps you alive. those lingering dots of the i and tails of the y and dashes, ellipses, and so many question marks – they are you. you are past them. but they are not simply in the past. attend to them. learn them. love them. connect them with your story. heal them. water them with your tears. nourish them with your laughter. they are you.
keep ur puppies safe
PROTECT YOUR PUPPIES
Only give them safe things to nom on <3
Also
Nothing with alliums (i.e., onions, garlic, leeks, scallions) should be ingested by your pet (can lead to toxic anemia).
The herb Sage can cause stomach upset and central nervous system depression.
Cheese, sour cream, butter, onions, and gravies are no-no’s in a pet’s diet.
Grapes and raisins will cause kidney failure.
Cranberries are fine, but watch the sugar content in cranberry sauces.
Sweeteners containing Xylitol are poisonous to animals, and potentially deadly to dogs.
Plain green beans are okay, but watch out with green bean casserole (because of other ingredients).
Let your puppies have noms, but let them nom responsibly.
Actually, the information on xylitol is backwards. Xylitol is known to be dangerous to dogs and ferrets, but we are currently uncertain if it is toxic to any other animals. Here’s the warning from the FDA, issued in 2011.
As for common sage – the kind you eat is non-toxic to dogs! Really, it’s fine. The ASPCA says so, and do you trust them or Tumblr? What actually is toxic to dogs is an an ornamental plant, also called sage, because plant names make no sense. More info on it in the link, from the Pet Poison Hotline. Oh, look, they even have a page on Thanksgiving!
The rest of that is correct, though. Garlic is sometimes listed in homemade dog treat recipes, but it’s actually pretty bad for all sorts of animals. All of the Allium species (chives, onions, etc.) are dangerous, to different degrees. Onion powder, garlic powder, and anything similarly concentrated is just the worst. Here’s an ASPCA webpage with a link to a document on onions.
Chicago police were incredibly worried that releasing the brutal footage of an officer shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times would incite violence across the city.
But after the video was released Tuesday night, something powerful happened: No violence broke out. Hundreds of outraged residents took to the streets and exercised their right to peacefully assemble. They yelled, cried and chanted. By night’s end, it was clear they want major change.
This morning I woke up to the awful news that my coworker Malcolm London (featured in the 4th photo down) is being held on a felony charge by the CPD. I’ve heard from multiple people that Malcolm was set up and snatched off the street quickly and with intention. There was a smoke bomb thrown behind my coworker Bee Kapri (featured in the last photo) and then Malcom was snatched. Malcolm is a leading, visible organizer and his arrest should only be treated as a specific, political act of terror. This is what they do to black leaders. I love Malcolm and am calling on all people of good conscience to advocate on his behalf.
If you can please Donate to the Chicago Bond Fund. This fund is a 501©3 with an advisory board managed by people I trust and admire and the money will go where it needs to go.

Donald Trump: My Fans Were Right To Beat Up Black Lives Matter Protester
Trump was asked to weigh in on his supporters’ actions on Fox & Friends Sunday morning. “Maybe he should have been roughed up,” he said. “It was disgusting what he was doing.”
“It was just a sea of white faces,” he told ThinkProgress. “A lady kicked me in the stomach. A man kicked me in the chest. They called me n*****, monkey, and they shouted ‘all lives matter’ while they were kicking and punching me. So for all the people who are still confused at this point, they proved what ‘all lives matter’ meant. It means, ‘Shut up, n*****.‘”
