your daily reminder that Cyntoia Brown has to spend the holidays in prison because she defended herself from being raped at age 16. a petition was created that needs about 20k more signatures in order to bring more attention regarding a clemency to the Senator of Tennessee (where she is currently imprisoned). CYNTOIA BROWN NEEDS TO BE FREED.

a little more about this story for those who aren’t aware. 

-Cyntoia Brown is now a 29 year old woman who is in federal prison for murder. Before the murder occurred, she was forced into human trafficking by an older man named “Cutthroat” at age 16 years old. She was repeatedly raped, beaten, and drugged by dozens of men everyday. 

-Cyntoia has faced sexual abuse throughout her childhood being that she has been in foster homes numerous times. 

-In 2004, She murdered a 43 year old realtor named Johnny Allen who would sexually exploit her. There’s no doubt 16 year old who has been sexually abused multiple times by older men felt threatened at the moment. Regardless of the situation, this is rape. Let me repeat this again for the future idiots who are gonna try to defend this man. What Johnny Allen did to Cyntoia Brown is rape. She was 16, he was 43. 

-In 2012, Cyntoia was sentenced to life in prison. The age she’s eligible for parole? 69 years old. She is now 29. If we don’t raise hell to the government of Tennessee, this woman might not get out until another 40 years. IF she is “eligible” for parole. 

Here is a list of congressional and senate contact information for the State of Tennessee. From contacting congresspeople to Senators, we can bring justice to this woman. 

There’s also a documentary about this case.

A book crystallized in the ocean

[blluish]

oh mood

[raychleadele]

NO NO NO.

This was not crystallized by the ocean. People. No. This is why artist credit is SO DAMN IMPORTANT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE MISINFORMED HERE.

Alexis Arnold is an artist who creates crystallized books. Her work is amazing and beautiful, she’s made dozens of these.

This particular one was not made by her, however, it was actually created by Catherine McEver - who was inspired to try it after seeing a show of Alexis Arnold’s work. It’s literally the first picture on Google image results if you search for “crystallized books” and she posted about it on her blog showing other process shots as she made it.

TWO DIFFERENT WOMEN ARE BEING DEPRIVED OF CREDIT FOR THEIR CREATIVITY BECAUSE THIS FALSE INFORMATION IS BEING SPREAD. FUCK THAT.

Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you’re in trouble, because that reason can be taken from you.

Whenever I stop making God the forefront of my life I get depressed and this is comforting because even if my mind doesn’t remember my soul knows to who it will return. And to me that’s hope. And to my mind that is a reminder.
