What I Learned in 2015

Don’t ignore your feelings, they matter

Be a kind person just because you can

Don’t let yourself forget prayer or you will forget yourself

Give everyone the benefit of the doubt

Mistakes don’t define you, it’s what you do to fix that mistake that truly counts

When you can sense the fuckboyism of a nigga. You can't fool me.

Four Innocent Native Americans Jailed For 18 Years, Set Free – But Only After Agreeing Not To Sue

Four innocent Native American men have been set free from prison this week after they agreed not to sue the city or the state for the wrongful conviction and the unnecessary time behind bars. Eugene Vent, Kevin Pease, George Frese and Marvin Roberts, known as the Fairbanks Four, have all been sitting in jail since 1997 for the murder of teenager John Hartman.

Even at the time of the conviction, the case was extremely controversial, with many supporters of the four insisting on their innocence. Family and supporters have continued to fight over the years, collecting evidence of their innocence and pushing for a new trial. As the years went on, the case against them fell apart, making it obvious that the justice system had locked away innocent men for a crime that they did not commit. After years of legal posturing, a new trial was granted this month, and the wrongfully convicted men were quickly released after the new evidence was finally brought to light.

Fearing legal retribution, the court forced the innocent men to agree that they would not sue the state or city, even though they should have every right to do so, after losing many of their adult years to prison.

Full outrageous story

It’s appropriate for the state to keep four innocent men for 18 years in prison and it’s not appropriate for them to demand compensation for ruining their youth. This ultimatum is scandalous! Why the fuck should innocent people guarantee that they won’t sue the state? After their innocence was proved all they should do is walk home. Without any additional agreements! I’m sick of this! That was extreme violation of human rights by the state! I hope that Fairbanks Four WILL struggle for justice one more time.

So, which lawyer is going to still find a loophole and sue the state?

Black women something amazing

Okay, but what professor was such an asshole that they wouldn’t let a woman in labor do a makeup exam? You know someone said some shit and she felt like she HAD to do that exam, labor or no.

writingjenna

OK true story from one of my professors: She got pregnant while getting her PhD. Not planned, but it would work out that she would do her lit review (where she had a massive list of books she had to spend two hours talking about) a month before her baby was due. Plenty of time, right? Well, her daughter came a month early. On the day that she scheduled her lit review. So she’s in labor with a baby that’s four weeks early, she calls up her male professors that are going to be doing her lit review, and they say that squeezing a human being out of your vagina isn’t a good enough reason to cancel. She can’t reschedule, they’ll just fail her. And my professor will have none of that. They agree to have the lit review at the hospital, but they kick out all nurses and doctors because you can’t have anyone else in the room. (like the nurses are really going to be secret undercover English professors who will whisper to her answers about Virginia Woolf). So for two hours while my professor was in labor, these male professors are hounding her about early 20th century British literature and the nurses are just about losing it and as soon as it’s finish they rush back in to make sure everything is okay. And the best part of it is that my professor was so focused, so determined to pass and not let her 5 years of work end in a failure, that she says she didn’t feel any pain for those two hours. WHILE IN LABOR.

Fucking men. Seriously.

zainromaine

this really isnt something that should be glorified its so gross that these women were expected to do exams while in labour like instead of being like “wow thats amazing” we should be like “why did she have to do that?”

lesbian-bread-death-deactivated

I agree, like it’s amazing that both women did that but I feel everyone’s first reaction to these stories should be along the lines of “why was a made up schedule put before biology and the health of a student and her child?” or maybe “burn the professors”.
