@notghosts replied to your post “My left eye lid has been twitching for the last hour so that’s...”

that happens to me sometimes if i get to anxious or haven't slept well. try and get some rest, angel!

That makes so much sense. Thank you I’ve been working all day haha.

“YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE,” she whispers, tears brimming her eyes as she sits in her quarters, hair falling into her features. how he could still even remotely care for her was beyond any kind of comprehension. not after everything she’d done, everything she’d broken, everything she’d become. & for what? he brother hated her & with every right. she hated her, too. for once in a long time they seemed to be on the same page.

i thought you died, lincoln. but she can’t bring herself to say it. can’t bring herself to utter the words at all. could it have been the red haze injections? could they have given him some sort of immunity? but to what? death? she saw him shot. but hadn’t had enough time to confirm whether it had been fatal or not. either way... 

she’d assumed he’d bled out.

“how can you still be alive?” she whimpers a lot more weakly than she’d ever thought she would still be able of being, voice & features cracking as a broken sob escapes.

HE’S BEEN OUT OF SURGERY FOR AN HOUR. staring at him while he sleeps has been weird, but it’s where they’re at. he looks pale, like crap, & she can’t really will herself to say anything. even being here feels treacherous. like she shouldn’t be. or she shouldn’t care. had they not been rescued from the bunker, her sword would have sliced right through the ligaments of his neck. she couldn’t risk anyone questioning her authority. she also couldn’t afford to pick favorites. in that moment, he was the enemy of wonkru. that’s all she needed to know.

maybe that’s why this is awkward. or maybe it’s because he spoke reason in the face of a reality that none of them wanted to face. don’t you think i know how awful it is. don’t you think i know what i’ve become.

YOU SCARE ME --  the words indra had once spoke ring through her mind. she was a killer. nothing more. she knew that now. this is who i am.

anyway. she just sits. this is better than having to deal with bellamy, clarke, & the weird timejump lovechild harper & monty had. it wasn’t for him. she wasn’t here for him. maybe if she repeats it enough, she’ll believe it.

In honor of International Albinism Day I am posting a portrait of Florence, 19, and her daughter, Evelyn, 2 from a story I did last year on children with #albinism in #uganda. Sadly, Evelyn has passed away this month due to typhoid. Tragically, the village has refused to accept her body for burial. Children born with albinism suffer cultural myths fed to uneducated communities by witch doctors - that they are magical, a curse on their families or called derogatory names like 'pigs' or 'ghosts' because of the color of their skin.Please contact http://humanityhealing.org/ to find out ways to support the family. Florence was working one day as a digger along the hills outside Kotido, a town in western Uganda, when she was approached by a stranger and raped. The assault was so remote, no one could hear her screams, she recalls. Upon returning to her village her family sought out the perpetrator to no avail. When she found out she was pregnant, Florence did what she could and found a man with whom she could raise a family. Florence’s plans for a normal life, however, quickly unraveled when her daughter Evelyn was born with albinism. The man refused to accept the child and threw her out. Her father also refused her. Florence was forced to flee to the same hills where the seed for so much strife took root. With the help of a local advocate, Michael Sabiiti and the District Chief Florence and her daughter were placed back with their family, although there is still internal family tension and discrimination towards them. Not only do these myths dangerously cloud the fact that this is simply medical condition that needs attention with simple things like sunblock, hats or glasses, they create a culture of fear and violence towards them. #notghosts #albinismawareness @amnesty @everydayafrica (at Uganda)

For the first time worldwide, next June 13th will be celebrated the “International Albinism Awareness Day” (IAAD) with the aim of increasing awareness and understanding of albinism in order to fight against global discrimination and stigma against persons with albinism. For the last years I’ve been working on the rights of people with albinism. I had the opportunity to photograph and talk with albinos from places with different levels of development as Europe and Africa, and I’ve learned from it that education is the main pillar to achieve equality and improvement. Really hope this international day of awareness makes a change and brings them some hope.
