The last words said by Black youth murdered by policemen.
This is honestly the most heart breaking thing I’ve seen in a long time

What does glue have to do with this
i knew you’d get stuck there
good lord they died in this glue trap
Some people have an unhealthy parasocial relationship with the moon. The truth is just because you see the moon every day doesn't mean you are friends with the moon or even that you particularly know her
Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women's restroom in the state capitol
As far as I know, she is the first woman arrested bc of this law. The law requires that the trans person be warned to leave the bathroom by a state official, and then if they stay they are guilty of trespassing after a warning.
So like, me, my gf, others just piss and nobody asks or tells, but this young woman sent a statement about the law to over 100 FL lawmakers so they would know she was coming, the cops were ready for her, she brought a reporter and went in anyway and spent the night in a men's jail. She is out on bail, and is hoping this will inspire change of the law. But if found guilty, and the law is upheld as constitutional, then she could spend up to 60 days in a mens county jail.
Seriously, this is extremely Rosa Parks coded. Good looking, religious college girl. It's the whole playbook. She also added this selfie.
I support her and hope this goes as well as it can.
Shoutout to trans women for being the only ones to do something actually politically radical with the recent trend of girlcore catholicism
The US literally invented the playbook by invading Iraq 2 decades ago and keeping it under occupation for nearly a decade after that (and it still is under occupation really, what with US troops still strewn throughout the country)—and we still have people thinking that their every pro-Israeli move isn’t made with the very intention of killing Arabs, as they historically have in the past. Get serious.
What’s even more is I’ve had to watch historians and politicians and US soldiers show their saccharine remorse by stating that the Iraqi war was “a colossal mistake” “a massive military blunder” “we should’ve never gone there.” 1 million Iraqis were killed—and that’s just out of what’s confirmed. The numbers of those forced to flee their homes go as high as 3 million. My mom was one of the Iraqis who had to make the hard decision of leaving her country because she didn’t want us raised in an unsafe environment. And all it is is a “blunder.” Just a military blunder. Iraq has literally been ruined and it’s a blunder.
This will be how Palestine gets covered like a decade from now btw. Millions dead and/or displaced, and it’s watered down to a “military blunder” that “should have never happened.” It’s not like that kind of coverage has stopped the US from continuously leeching off Iraq to this very day anyway. Now there are Arabs like me who never got to live and grow up in their home country, and I’m already getting misgivings from my family about visiting again because of the “unstable state in the Middle East.” We can never enjoy our culture in peace. It literally never ends.
A lot of Israelis say "this isn't america your concepts of race don't fit here" as a way to try and shut people up but what they mean is this brown jewish guy who is terrorizing a blonde blue eyed Palestinian is somehow more oppressed and are emphasizing that you should actually use American concepts of race just not by applying them critically with an understanding to power dynamics
You see this when they make fun of Ahed Tamimi for having light hair and blue eyes. The fact that she is getting arrested and accosted by israeli soldiers on basis of her ethnicity and identity is why it is racism not the fact that she has blue eyes. But of course an Israeli likes to manipulate the story by somehow implying the villany of ahed who has no weapons and has no defense and is standing up against fully armed and fully armored soldiers because the soldiers may be a darker skintone.
At Mount fuji
Forget the rest of the fireworks around the world, these are the best. HNY.
The finale HOLY SHIT!!!
This is actually the first time I was impressed by a firework
For anyone interested, the music is by a composer named Thomas Bergersen, and the piece playing is called Homecoming from his Illusions album. I listen to his music whenever I need to be inspired to write.
The uninhibited dopamine of it all
Sparkly
There’s just something about this that lightens a weary heart
