“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

For anybody not caught up: Tennessee just passed a new map that pretty much makes it so black neighborhoods have no power in local votes. Two things about this. While protestors were chanting "No Jim Crow", white Tennessee lawmakers were caught laughing on video. On top of this, Representative Justin Pearson and his brother KeShaun Pearson were arrested for trying to give their takes on the matter (which is not only their legal right but literally his job). If you give a shit about black people, help fight this. We can't allow a return to Jim Crow.

The horror inherent in how we (don't) talk about covid anymore. Everyone is constantly getting infected at school, work and health care facilities and many of us are getting more & more disabled. At the same time, work from home jobs are disappearing and wearing a mask is stigmatized. People are sending their kids to school without even thinking about it. Workers are peer pressured not to mask. Try showing up to a job interview with a mask and see if you get the job. All that during a cost of living crisis & mass unemployment in many places. Choose between eating & avoiding brain damage. It's the black lung of our time. One of the worst tendencies of humanity on full display, on a global scale and nobody but disabled people even gives a shit anymore.

I opened Instagram today to the news that Shirley Raines, the CEO of Beauty 2 The Streetz, has died. Many people probably know her on here, even if they don't know her name. Her videos of feeding and providing other essentials for the homeless of her community have been reposted across many platforms due to her kindness and unending respect for people so often denied agency and personhood. She did so much for people in need and truly wanted to elevate others with what she had, building confidence and strength in those that needed it most.

The Beauty 2 The Streetz nonprofit has asked that you send love and support to her family, loved ones, and the community she has fostered. The beauty2thestreetz Instagram and Tiktok [able to be found here on Linktree] are both worth supporting and spreading awareness of her mission.

If you have the means, their website has donation options to further her cause and continue to provide necessary support in food, hygiene, makeup, and hairstyling to the homeless community. The utmost respect for a kindhearted woman that will be remembered fondly by those she helped. May Shirley Raines rest in peace and may the people she looked out for see the same time, effort, and kindness she was always prepared to give.
