💡DID YOU KNEW, TODAY? 🏃🏿‍♂️NATIONAL MISSING #CHILDREN DAY🚶🏿‍♀️ Observed annually, National Missing Children’s Day has been commemorated each year on #May25th since 1983, when it was first #proclaimed by President #RonaldReagan. There was a series of high-profile missing children cases that made national headlines in the several years following the #establishment of National Missing Children’s day. Six-year-old Etan Patz disappeared from his New York City home on his way from the bus to school on May 25, 1979. May 25, the date of Etan’s #disappearance, was designated as National Missing Children’s Day. During the time of his disappearance, cases of #missingchildren rarely gained #nationalmedia attention. However, Etan’s case quickly received much coverage. Etan’s father, who was a professional photographer, distributed black-and-white photographs of his son to find him. The result was a massive search and media attention that focused the public’s attention on the problem of child #abductions and the lack of plans to address them. . . . . . . 🕴🏿#NationalMissingChildrenDay 🕴🏿 (at San Diego, California)

Ever year around #May25th I try and get my hands on some #lilacs in honor of #TerryPratchett. But lilacs don't bloom where I am, on May 25th. They turn brown, they die off. I got permission from the owner of the lilac bush to clip some blooms while they were still in flower, in the hopes I could dry them out. It worked, but they lost their vibrancy, and now they're these fragile, delicate things. I'm sure there's a metaphor in there somewhere...

You can be both pro choice and pro life. • You can hate the idea of abortion and never want one: ✨ and still not deny that choice to others. • ✨ and still recognize that sometimes it can be the most compassionate option. • ✨ and still recognize that sometimes a termination is medically necessary. • ✨ and still believe that the 8th amendment has no place in the Irish constitution and should be removed. • • • • • • #men4yes #repealthe8 #8thref #RepealThe8th #KnowYourRepealers, #trustwomen #justinformleo #may25th #womensrights #trustwomen #mybodymychoice #togetherforyes #together4yes #voteyes #humanrights #abortion #ourfuture #prolife #prochoice #choice #compassion #herchoice #referendum #LoveBoth #change #repealproject #dublin #ireland #timeforchange #repealday (at Dublin, Ireland)

What to the Droid is the 25th of May? Would Frederick Douglass ask that, if he was a Droid?

In some respects, the Star Wars saga depicts a struggle against a racist galactic fascist empire, but not for the benefit of Droids. It reminds me of the French Revolution, without freeing Haiti. The American Revolution without freeing enslaved Africans.

There is the representation of struggle against species racism, as non-humanoid species were the most oppressed (experiencing enslavement, genocide and denial of roles in the empire). Although species were significantly oppressed, Droids were hardly ever seen - without an “owner” on both sides of the rebels or the empire. Although the rebels were multi-species, there was no Droid interest. That contradiction has never been resolved in Star Wars.

Star Wars has some influences from both the Anti-Vietnam War struggle and some criticism of post-9/11 policies. In the formation of united fronts against today’s #neofascism, how are we fighting for ourselves, but stand in solidarity with other sectors of exploited and oppressed people?
