“I’m speaking to you from my heart. Look, I don’t know if I’m going to have a career after this, but fuck that. Today is about innocent people who were halfway through their process, we don’t know what George Floyd could have achieved, we don’t know what Sandra Bland could have achieved, but today we’re going to make sure that won’t be an alien thought to our young ones. Every black person in here remembered when another person reminded you that you were black. So none of you out there, all those protesters on the other side, protesting against what we want to do, protesting against what we want to try and achieve, burn you, this is so vital. I need you to understand how painful this shit is. I need you to understand how painful it is to be reminded every day that your race means nothing and that isn’t the case anymore, that was never the case anymore.” John Boyega at The Black Lives Matter protest in Hyde Park June 3rd 2020

i know everyone’s said this already but the cruelty of subjecting people to tear gas during a respiratory infection pandemic is unparalleled. i’m not a doctor but i imagine the lethality associated with it will massively increase as a result

[wizards]

Interrupting my unnecessary shit posting for something that is actually important

George Floyd, Rekia Boyd, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Jordan Edwards.....These are just a few of the beautiful angels, whose lives were stolen from them and their families as a result of police brutality. It shatters my heart to know that there are so many other beautiful cherubs who have been killed, all of them innocent. When the people who were supposed to protect the innocent are killing them (especially CHILDREN), we know hatred and hostility is poisoning whatever humanity is left in this horrible, twisted society.

Do not look away. Do not close your eyes or stick your head in the sand. Remember them and tell their stories. NOT ALL LIVES MATTER UNTIL BLACK LIVES MATTER

maybe aestheticizing political movements is in. bad taste.

[moved-029043462834058-deactivat]

like i don't know how to explain how weird this is but i Hate it

[moved-029043462834058-deactivat]

actually, i do know how to explain it! if you have to turn a political movement that protests against systemic violence and racism into an aesthetic for it to become worthy of your attention, you do not actually care about said movement. people are dying, cops are getting away with murder, the government has so much blood on its hands--protests are not pretty, revolution is not pretty, fighting for your rights and those of others is not pretty. stop trying to change that just because it feels "yoo harsh" for your aesthetic.

boost if able, re: minnesota protests

in case y’all didn’t see, the Minnesota Freedom Fund is actually good on donations after that massive fundraise yesterday and is directing people to donate to other causes, including Black Visions Collective, Reclaim The Block, and Northstar Health Collective.

MFF page for verification.

[nemesissy-vent]

I want to vouch for Northstar: it’s entirely possible that there’s been some institutional garbage with it that I’m not aware of, but they were around for the DNC/RNC Welcoming Committee protests, which were… rough, to say the least, and they’re still around!

plus, to add to this list:

1) if you live in a major metro area: check out bail funds there, people are out getting fucked up by the cops right now; Louisville and Atlanta are good places to direct money if you’re feeling up to it, and I know NYC bailout funds could use money, especially given that there’s a fucking ongoing crisis in the wake of COVID-19 where it’s vitally dangerous to be behind bars right now

2) Migizi is an Indigenous community center that got caught up in shit, donate so they can rebuild here

3) if you have money and it’s not a ‘it’s liable to slip through my fingers’ situation: definitely keep MFF, and other bail funds in mind in a week or two, or a month: bail funds are always in need of money, they’re an essential service all year, and they will still need money- possibly for another wave of protesters- after this flurry of attention and solidarity dies down.

[zodgory]

The National Bail Fund Network has a directory of community bail funds which I found helpful as protests happen in more cities.

my hope for 2020 is that my favorite characters will stop dying

[5hahem]

Black boys go through depression. Black boys have anxiety. Black boys doubt themselves. Black boys love. Black boys struggle. Black boys think, and Black boys feel. Black boys are just as human as anyone else.
