I keep saying it but it bears repeating, especially since white allies arent listening:

STOP. BRAGGING.

Stop trying to give credit to people on the front lines of these protests.

I need to stress this, you are doing the cops job for them.

Those masks you’re wearing at these protests? They’re not just to keep you from catching the rona. Its to conceal your identity.

And that entire purpose is destroyed the second you try to take or give credit for being on the front lines.

STOP. BRAGGING.

Cops are monitoring social media. The second you name someone on the ground, that person is now a target.

Now is NOT the time to be taking credit for your actions.

Keeping each other safe means keeping your mouth shut.

Do not name ANYONE on the front lines. Do not name ANYONE at the protests.

The ONLY exception to this rule is when you are outing a white supremacist or undercover cop trying to instigate more violence.

Do not name your fellow protestors. Don’t even discuss who may have done what. Stop doing the cops job for them.

Filling their snitch lines and apps with junk is great, but if you’re simultaneously going around and naming protestors, you’re not helping at all.

Stop. Bragging.

White allies, this is not the time to be taking credit.

THIS IS NOT A GAME!

Do you remember this man? Edward Crawford? He’s dead. They ruled it a suicide. Except he had four children, a new apartment, and a new job. His own father believes it wasn’t suicide. NBC quotes “It’s not the first time a notable Ferguson protester has died from gunfire.”. Darren Seals, a Ferguson protest leader, was found shot to death inside a burning car.

They can and WILL find, murder, and cover up more Black bodies. Cop watch , know your rights, FILM COPS, DO NOT POINT YOUR CAMERA AT PROTESTERS/THEIR FACES.

Excellent addition! Thank you for the links too.

Guys PLEASE. This isn’t the time. Anonymity is CRUCIAL. There is military personnel in the streets right now, you NEED to keep your mouths SHUT.

Stop naming protestors. Stop filming/photographing protestors faces. Learn to block out your photos and videos to conceal obvious characteristics like tattoos or unusual/noticeable hair styles/colours.

YOU NEED TO BE ANONYMOUS.

Please. Stop bragging.

They’re doing this already. Cops are showing up at the houses of people filming them, and arresting them for old traffic tickets.

Want to tell someone you were a part of all this? Then strive for a 2030 safe enough to teach kids what went down.

We consume the news because information makes us feel in control, but the news only tells us about things we can’t control.

I know we all love to rail against the Karens of this world and laugh at their views on yoga and oils and who knows what else, but honestly? Yoga, meditation, incense, and others, when done properly, can and do help some people. Certainly not everyone and certainly not as the only option, but they can help. Karen is wrong because she thinks this is the cure-all for whatever ailment she percieves you have, not because she thinks this will help. She’s still being offensive, and I sincerely hope her advice is not the one you take, but don’t immediately throw yoga, meditation, and all the rest out the window because Tumblr culture says they’re useless in retaliation to the Karens.

REPRESENTATION MATTERS!

In all of my fourteen years as a diabetic, I have never once seen myself represented in advertising. I’ve never seen those with crutches, colostomies, or wheelchairs, either, despite how many people live with those conditions.

I got so excited seeing this advertising campaign! Inclusive media is a huge step forward!!

Everyone needs their own signature look. Even if it’s ripped off from your favourite character from a film you like, maybe it’s just wearing the same coat you love till you wear it out completely, a favourite repetitive colour or a style from another era, perhaps a person you’ve read about, fiction or non-fiction, real or not has inspired you. The point is, we all need to find that special way of dressing ourselves that makes us feel like the main character of our own private novel.
