Jenna Ryan a realtor in Frisco, Texas. Are you allowed to hold a realtor’s license when you’ve committed a federal crime? I definitely wouldn’t want her having keys to my house.

Elizabeth Koch from Maryville, Tennessee. Props for outing yourself for federal crimes on national television. Double props for rubbing your eyes with an onion on camera and claiming you got maced.

Paul Davis former Associate General Counsel and Director of HR for Goosehead Insurance Company who fired him for domestic terrorism - and probably also gross incompetence. What kind of lawyer does a media interview while committing a federal crime? I’m guessing the State Bar of Texas is going to disbar him as well but we’re still waiting on that news.

Where: Online via Zoom video conference

Price: $20 – $30 or Whatever You Can Afford (Details Below)

Most writers want to avoid Cultural Appropriation but worry that they don’t fully understand what it is or how to ensure their work does not include it. They wonder what the difference is between appropriation and exchange or between appropriation and influence. And they hope avoiding cultural appropriation doesn’t mean only writing stories about people from their same race, culture, or ethnic group.

In this 3 hour webinar, authors Nisi Shawl and K. Tempest Bradford will offer concrete answers to those questions and a set of resources to help authors navigate these tricky waters. The webinar includes two short lectures and a lengthy Q&A.

Over 600+ native women in Canada have been reported missing or have been murdered in the last 20 years. Many vanished without a trace with inadequate inquiry into their disappearance or murders paid by the media, the general public, politicians and even law enforcement. This is a travesty of justice.

Walking With Our Sisters is by all accounts a massive commemorative art installation comprised of 1,600+ moccasin vamps (tops) created and donated by hundreds of caring and concerned individuals to draw attention to this injustice. The large collaborative art piece will be made available to the public through selected galleries and locations. The work exists as a floor installation made up of beaded vamps arranged in a winding path formation on fabric and includes cedar boughs. Viewers remove their shoes to walk on a path of cloth alongside the vamps.

Each pair of vamps (or “uppers” as they are also called) represents one missing or murdered Indigenous woman. The unfinished moccasins represent the unfinished lives of the women whose lives were cut short. Together the installation represents all these women; paying respect to their lives and existence on this earth. They are not forgotten. They are sisters, mothers, aunties, daughters, cousins, grandmothers, wives and partners. They have been cared for, they have been loved, they are missing and they are not forgotten.

I’ve seen this in person and my brother and I had to hold hands while sobbing quietly

If you’ve ever seen something unusual on your kid’s skin, you’ve likely turned to the internet for guidance as you anxiously wait for an appointment with your pediatrician. On health education sites, you’ll find images of every common dermatological condition, including eczema, hand-foot-and-mouth disease, chicken pox, impetigo and measles. But the images almost exclusively feature white patients.

For years, this has frustrated Ellen Buchanan Weiss, whose toddler son is mixed race. She’s tried searching for photographs online to reference conditions such as chicken pox and hives, but tells me that “even adding the qualifier ‘chicken pox on black child’ yields mostly Caucasian examples.” Recently, she decided to do something to help other parents facing similar barriers, and began collecting photos on her own. Her project Brown Skin Matters is an Instagram account filled with reference images of dermatological conditions on non-white skin. You can see what ant bites can look like on a child who is Hispanic and black. Or how the viral illness Fifths disease can manifest in a child who is black and white.

From the photos, it’s clear that conditions look different on different skin tones. On a post featuring a black child with chicken pox, one person commented: “Thank you! My mom (white) always said she wasn’t sure if we’d actually had chicken pox because they didn’t look how she expected. But the pediatrician said we did.”

While Weiss is not a medical professional, she is working with physicians to review the viewer-submitted photos. She emphasizes that the information on Brown Skin Matters is for educational and reference purposes only, and not a diagnosis. “I’m just a regular person who dearly loves her son and wants equitable representation and resources available to him and other people who look like him,” Weiss says.

This is awesome bc there are SO many conditions that are given symptoms like ‘pink/flushed/redness’ and that doesn’t look the same at all on brown skin. Sometimes you can see the redness, sometimes you can’t, sometimes the inflammation actually triggers our skin to protect the damaged tissue from the sun by developing MORE melanin.

A 42 year old white supremacist named Jason Roger Pope has been targeting Black women and young girls for a decade in South Carolina. Not only manipulating them into sex but raping them and getting away with it. Not to mention, he has AIDS and intentionally spread it to Black women and young girls to spread to Black men.

From what I’ve been reading from people who know him, his father is a judge. “He always posted pics and took lil girls out in public like it was nothing using his ties with the radio station to sway them with tickets.”

Air Force officials are investigating after an A-10C Thunderbolt II fighter jet on a training mission accidentally fired a rocket near Tucson. Officials at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base say the M-156 rocket landed Thursday morning in a remote desert wash near Mount Graham.

They say there were no injuries, damage or fires from the accidental launch of the white phosphorus projectile in the Jackal Military Operations Area, which is about 60 miles northeast of Tucson.

justsomeantifas

Just to be clear white phosphorus is a banned chemical weapon, so we are loading up our jets with banned weapons of war near the border. White phosphorus literally sticks to and melts your skin, it burns your lungs, causes organ failure, and kills you. The after-effects of those who survive these chemical attacks are brutal.

In Fallujah, we also illegally used white phosphorus - this was to make the “enemy forces” move from their cover. Now PLEASE tell me how I’m supposed to believe that this was an accident? The military “accidently” loaded up weapons to their fighter jets that are banned by international law and “accidently” dropped one close to a border town and we’re supposed to believe nothing is going on? That they’re not preparing for anything?

This should be bigger news - why the fuck is our military loading fighter jets with illegal chemical weapons near the border and indigenous reservations?

Watch the white gays start to give a fuck now.

roughstar

First it was the Mexicans, legal citizens born here from immigrant parents, that were claimed as non citizens. Now it’s the children of gay parents. Don’t you see what’s happening? Disenfranchisement. Classic fascism. We’re heading towards a totalitarian regime folks. Trump is a white supremacist and him and his administration won’t stop until they’ve recreated Hitler’s Nazi Germany.

injuries-in-dust

Hitler didn’t start as histories greatest monster, or he wouldn’t have gained the power he got. It was only after he became too powerful to be removed that he revealed his true nature. You have to look for the warning signs and there are a lot of them with the Trump administration. Like, big red flags with glowing flares.

misterdoctorironstrange

The worst thing is that Hitler had to put some effort into gaining his power, while Trump has been waving his red flags as high as possible since the start and no one seems to care…

This is such a good article though

The argument Pinto makes is that the story and the doll normalize 24-hour surveillance in the mind of a child, which makes them susceptible to more passively accept police-state surveillance as adults.

“I don’t think the elf is a conspiracy and I realize we’re talking about a toy,” Pinto told The Post. “It sounds humorous, but we argue that if a kid is okay with this bureaucratic elf spying on them in their home, it normalizes the idea of surveillance and in the future restrictions on our privacy might be more easily accepted.”

It’s based in a theory that was developed by Jeremy Bentham and popularized by Michel Foucault in which students, prisoners, factory workers and others were thought to function better (for whatever value of better) in a system called a panopticon, in which an individual is potentially under surveillance 24-hours a day, but never actually KNOWS whether or not he or she is being surveilled.

Pinto said she’s not the first person to be troubled by Elf on the Shelf’s surveilling. She’s said parents routinely contact her to say they changed the rules of the game after it made their families uneasy. And many kids, she said, often intuitively feel like spying and being a tattletale is wrong.

“A mom e-mailed me and told me that the first day they read the elf book and put the elf out, her daughter woke up crying because she was being watched by the elf,” Pinto recounted. “They changed the game so it wouldn’t scare the child.”

In addition to the problem of normalizing surveillance in the mind of a child, this also forces the child into a situation where they never feel like they are free to simply be themselves; they are forced to be “on their best behavior” at all times, unable to relax and make mistakes and do the job of growing up and being a child, because they never know if the elf is spying on them, ready and waiting to report back to Santa Claus that they’ve been bad.

Here is a link to the paper that the article is talking about

mhalachai

My co-worker got Elf on the Shelf for her four-year-old daughter last year, and was so freaked out by her daughter’s sudden and complete change in behaviour (uncharacteristically worried and anxious, while trying to be on her ‘best’ behaviour that she never kept up for family or at school) that she stuffed Elf in the garbage after a week, telling the daughter that the Elf had to go back to the North Pole to help Santa with Christmas.

Also read the paper linked above, it’s a good one.

thehighpriestofreverseracism

a moodboard: White women niggering it up for coins and clout, using watered down and bastardised Black (specifically american) culture/aesthetic as a jump off point, and as a backdrop to peddle their shitty projects and/or as a way to break away from their lily white image(s) and sell Black aesthetic/sound to people that don’t like Black people, before publicly announcing that they are retiring the genre of music they gentrified to get in to in the first place, and when they deplete it and spit out as of no use to them, and revert back to whatever pixie star dust music they were doing and/or becoming suburban mom, they start becoming activists who talk down to Black people about “misogyny in hiphop” all the while whilst their thin lips have been extra sealed when it comes to issues that Black people face in America, never mind anywhere else.

Recent reports from child-welfare workers reveal that the white adoptive parents of six abused Black children was a perfect storm of narcissism and twisted…

Last week, dozens of pages of reports from child-welfare officials were released that offer harrowing details of the abuse that six Black children suffered at the hands of their adoptive white parents, Jennifer and Sarah Hart, in Washington State. A drunken Jennifer drove them all off a 100-foot cliff in Northern California in the family’s SUV. Markis, 19, Jeremiah, 14, Abigail, 14, and Ciera, 12, are all confirmed dead; Devonte, 15, and Hannah, 16, remain missing, but are feared dead.

But while the report provides a lot of disturbing details about the degree of physical and emotional abuse, it poses more questions than offers answers, and paints a gruesome portrait of the parents, who beat and starved and gaslighted their children before murdering them all, and committing suicide.

The child-welfare reports revealed that officials in Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington State recorded incidents of neglect and abuse, and people in their communities noticed there was something off. The children were malnourished and were described by neighbors as behaving “like trained robots” and “like little soldiers”; they were forced to raise their hand before speaking; they were punished for laughing at the table and for “stealing” pizza from the fridge when they were hungry. In 2011, Sarah Hart shoved banana and nuts into her daughter Hannah’s mouth after the girl had told the school nurse she hadn’t eaten, and then Sarah said she was “playing the food card” and to just give her water. School officials witnessed this. Neighbors. Friends. They’d seen the kind of meticulous, orderly and punitive unlivable environment they’d set up for their six beautiful Black children, whose souls they were trying to crush.

Rather than face the consequences of their actions, they chose to flee and kill themselves and their whole family just as they were being pursued by the Department of Social and Health Services, who showed up at their door on March 23, in Washington, to find an empty house. They came, incidentally, following a call it took a neighbor six months to make, after Hannah jumped out of a second-story window at 1:30 a.m. and scrambled into her home asking to be hidden, and telling the neighbor that her racist parents whipped her with belts and begged her not to make her return to the Hart household.

I honestly don’t know what could motivate a parent to exact such abuse on children. And I can’t tell whether these women were trying to, consciously or not, fulfill some deranged modern-day plantation narrative or live out a Blind Side fantasy, but regardless, their position as the racial superior, be it as the slave master or the white savior, was all but assured. They were raising young Black children to be beholden to them, to worship them, to submit to them.

Many people are still trying to make sense of this nightmare. While some of their friends continue to defend the mothers, this case reveals a lot of discomforting truths about race in America. One: Why are their friends still defending them? Two: Why, when there were members of the children’s own family availing themselves to care for them, did the system insist on placing the children with the Harts? And after so many citations in so many states, why didn’t anyone intervene and sooner?

The complicity of systems that conspired to keep these children in these women’s care is as violent as the household in which they were enslaved. These pages of documents can attest that these children were far from safe. That this could have been stopped before it was literally too late.

The Hart children are not an isolated incident either: Cassandra Killpack, Michael Tinning, Hannah Grace-Rose Williams, Lydia Schatz, Timothy Boss, Hana Williams, Ahmad King are Black adoptees murdered by their white adoptive parents.

You wonder why. Why did these parents take in these children and kill them? And why were they not screened carefully? Why was no one paying attention to allegations of abuse?

This article was posted on May 2, 2018. I’m just now learning about it. Either this story went viral and I missed it or it was quietly reported to not further boost the concern of white families “raising” Black children to live out their racist fantasies, abusing them, and using them as “the help.” I’m going with the latter. They swept that under the rug like they do with other acts of white violence and hostility. Case in point: domestic terrorism. (That’s a whole nother topic.)

All of the Hart children, except for Devonte who’s still listed as “missing,” have been reported to be dead since that article was made due to their remains being found.

Y’all remember little Devonte, right?

This Hart family is the same white couple who made Devonte do that fake ass photo op during a Ferguson rally in Portland that went viral as “the Ferguson hug” to “restore faith in humanity” by the media for white (and non-white) “it’s not about race” people to eat up in the midst of the heightened and evident police brutality against Black people.

Anti-blackness and violence against Black people fueled by racism isn’t just in America; it’s global. Don’t even get me started on the treatment of Black people in Brazil for one.

People are still conditioned in believing that Black people are the ones who are violent aggressive by nature when history consistently proven otherwise.

Oh wait…there’s more:

Devonte Hart’s Biological Mother Breaks Her Silence After Learning Devastating News of Her Children’s Deaths

The biological mother of three Black children adopted by an abusive white couple has broken her silence after learning her kids were likely killed last month after one of the women drove the family’s car off a California cliff.

Sherry Davis said she was devastated when she first heard the news, nearly a month after her three biological children, Devonte, Jeremiah and Sierra Davis, died in what was initially thought to be a tragic accident. Devonte, in particular, was the subject of a viral photo of him in a tight embrace with a police officer at a rally for slain Missouri teen Mike Brown in 2014 — a photo his mother had never seen before last Thursday, according to The Oregonian.

avis, who lives in Texas and works as a home care attendant, learned of her children’s fates just last week and is still struggling to process it. Speaking with The Oregonian, she acknowledged her battle with cocaine addiction but said she got herself clean in hopes of one day regaining custody of her kids. That day would never come.

Clarence Celestine, the father of Jeremiah and Sierra, said he’s been unable to sleep since he heard what happened. His sister, Priscilla Celestine, fought for custody of Devonte and his siblings but was denied by a Texas court after she briefly left the three children alone with Davis, who was still on drugs at the time.

“I don’t understand why they took the kids from my sister,” Clarence Celestine, 66, told the newspaper.

“And gave them to monsters,” Davis chimed in. ” … They’re so quick to snatch [children] from people like us, but once they’re adopted, they don’t even check on them?”

Even when she was hooked on drugs, Davis insisted her children were always fed and well taken care of. After learning the Hart’s had adopted her children, the mother said she suffered a relapse.

“I gave up,” Davis said, adding that it took nearly a year for her to regain her sobriety. She’s been clean for years now, according to The Oregonian.

Davis said one last thing she hopes to do is have her children’s bodies brought back to Texas where they can be laid to rest close to her.
