also celebrate George Floyd’s life. he was truly a beautiful, kind, and caring individual. i wish his family so much healing and that they get the justice they deserve.

[jjmaebank]

George Floyd campaigned against gun violence among adolescents, he campaigned for peace. He was loving and he was kind. Don’t let his memory be defined by the last moments of his life. Don’t let his memory be defined by the man who murdered him.

[ginkasei]

he worked as security for a club, and multiple people have said that he was kind and gentle, literally a gentle giant, and knew well how to deescalate issues. all the pictures i've seen of him and people who knew him keep saying... he was a genuinely kind human.

anyways. may his memory be a blessing. rest in power, george floyd.

"I don't support it in real life"

Then stop normalizing it Then stop romanticizing it Then stop pretending it’s “hot” Then stop pretending it’s “cute”

[barrenwomb]

will you ever understand that fiction is NOT reality

[antielricest]

the brain reacts to fictional situtations they same way it does with real situations

a collection of links to articles about how fiction affects reality

but yeah, fiction totally doesnt impact reailty

[fullofbugs84uy894ujui9]

reminder that this blog, while not politically focused, supports BLM. bootlickers and racists aren’t welcome here, and never will be.

[beetlehorn]

supporting black lives is not ‘political’

[fullofbugs84uy894ujui9]

that’s actually a very good point. it should not be considered political to value black lives- apologies for the phrasing. ive deleted the original post but will keep this version up so as to preserve my mistake. @ all please rb this version instead.

we must learn to be better.

[mioxenoblade]

There is no actual, tangible reason why we allow people to starve, to be homeless, to suffer and die needlessly. Food is plentiful. Empty homes are plentiful. Medicine is plentiful. It’s hidden away behind constructs and we pretend those constructs mean something. There is an empty home and a homeless family, give them it. There is a sick child and common medicine to treat it, give it to them. There is a starving person and so much food wasted by corporations or hidden behind a dollar sign, feed them.

i know there’s a lot going on but ICE are now one step closer to literally creating gas chambers. they are spraying a chemical called HDQ neutral roughly 100 times a day, every 15 minutes at the adelanto detention center (one of the biggest in the country). people are getting rashes, headaches, their insides are bleeding, etc. the guards are wearing gloves and masks but the detainees have NOTHING. and here’s a quick reminder - america inspired the nazis to create gas chambers when they gassed latino people during the 1917 bath riots. 

here’s a petition to sign. it’s close to it’s goal. if there’s anything else we can do to help i’ll update this post.

On the subject of “being terrible isn’t the same as being mentally ill,” more murderers check out as neurotypical than not. Sometimes when that comes up you get people like “uhhh they KILLED SOMEBODY so OBVIOUSLY they’re not stable!!” or saying they think “being capable of murder” should itself be a qualifier for mental illness but it just….doesn’t…work that way. Nobody likes the ugly truth that the default, healthy human brain is a brain capable of terrible things but look at the entire history of our species or any other social mammal and you should know better than that.

[lord-kitschener]

“bodies associated with cis women are harshly stigmatized, made taboo, and policed as part of misogyny, often in violent ways or with the threat of violence” and “not all women have vaginas and not everyone with a vagina is a woman” and “trans peoples’ bodies are harshly stigmatized, made taboo, and policed as part of transphobia, often in violent ways or with the threat of violence” are not mutually exclusive facts and in fact all of these things are deeply interlinked, and should not be used as gotchas! against each other

[happyhealthycats]

Citra is REALLY bad at meowing. She sounds like a broken party favor when she remembers to actually meow.

[timemachineyeah]

OH MY GOD

[heatherwanderer]

Being an orange female kitty is already rare, but you had to go adopt the one in a million who can’t cat properly

[happyhealthycats]

She came in a two pack so I had to.

Simcoe (left) and Citra (right), both girls. Both rescues. Both biological litter mates (sisters). Both long term loving projects to teach human trust to.

Simcoe got 100% of the meowing capabilities.

[clairelovexo]

WAIT! WAIT!! So, are you telling me that actual, normal meow was the sister? Who, seemingly, just meowed at the moment because she saw her sister struggling so she tried to help by giving her an example???

[happyhealthycats]

THAT was actually Seymour. Who does also love Citra, but wasn’t really helping. He’s just very vocal because he’s an exclamation mark in a cat’s body.

[bunnykitty13]

also if ur one of those ppl that are like "the black and brown stripes on pride flags are uglyyy umu make it more aesthetically pleasing!!!" please stop talking i dont like you

[bunnykitty13]

actually no fuck you if you say this, black and brown lgbt people did NOT build this community only for you to turn and spit in their faces in such a nonchalant way. who cares about your uwu pastel aesthetic people are DYING and it pisses you off that two or three more stripes are included in a flag??? good. die mad

Minneapolis police shoot TV reporter & camera crew with some sort of projectile (5/29/20 evening)

[unaveragealien]

Actually this is Louisville KY. Wave 3 is a local news station that covers Kentucky and Indiana and the people there are protesting the death of Breonna Taylor. I know that us Kentuckians might be small compared to Minneapolis, but please don’t forget Breonna or the seven people who were shot the other night during protest, one in critical condition. You may not hear as much about Kentucky, but when the news station literally says Louisville, this is just lazy.

[notjustanyannie]

This reporter was shot in the eye and permanently blinded. By the cops.

[thepeoplesmanifesto]

This is terrorism

[geekandmisandry]

"She said protesters took her to hospital after the police shot her, giving her medical supplies and acting as her eyes after her own became bloodied and swollen."

Emphasis mine, in case anyone needs reminding on who the villains are

[callmearcturus]

What just happened on CNN? Im at work and so wasn’t somewhere I could watch

Sure I’ll sum up.

So there was a very good peaceful protest by.... Lafayette Park? Right outside the White House. They were chanting, they had multiple reporters in the crowd, it was fucking CHILL, people were waiting for Trump to do a speech in the Rose Garden.

Then, out of nowhere, truly NOWHERE, the cops closed in from three directions and threw gas into the crowd. They used rubber bullets on the crowd IMMEDIATELY. One dude told the reporter “They don’t care about new, move.” They drove out the totally fucking peaceful, pre-curfew protestors.

They moved them all out, and Trump started speaking, and you could hear the fucking gas going off over his speech. CNN fucking did a splitscreen to show the peopple being shoved back as the motherfucker stood up there and said he would protect our rights and would mobilize the military against people.

Then back to the reporters, and everyone was forced further and further away. One woman on a bike told the reporter “They are getting the water cannons ready, you wanna move.”

TURNS OUT.

ALL OF THIS.

WAS BECAUSE TRUMP WANTED A PHOTO OP AT THE CHURCH ACROSS THE STREET. HE WANTED THEM OUT OF THE WAY SO HE COULD STAND WITH A BIBLE IN FRONT OF A CHURCH.

Even CNN is calling him a dictator, at 7PM.

Then the Illinois governor came out and called him a racist, xenophobic, misogynistic failure.

[unabasheddeerking]

Oh my fucking god

[birdofprey1234]

The first pride was a riot, more specifically a riot against police violence. Trans women of colour like Marsha P. Johnson paved the way for the celebration of pride today. You cannot celebrate your pride this month, or any month if you aren’t also supporting Black Lives Matter and the riots going on against police violence right now. Us white LGBTQ+ need to stand up for our black siblings and their rights, their struggles. We need to amplify their voices and show any support we can.
