Hi Tumblr. On July 20th, I was in a horrific car wreck with a dump truck. It hit me straight on, destroyed my car, and I'm a bit messed up. I was life flighted to a hospital with a brain bleed, multiple cuts and bruises, and swelling, but thankfully I'm alive!

Unfortunately, I now have no vehicle and I'm not allowed to work until I'm cleared by a neurosurgeon. Which makes bills and staying fed pretty hard. I have one working eye at the moment, i can't lift anything and I'm taking anti-seizure meds to make sure my brain stays okay for the most part.

My mom has been trying to help me since I'm unable to do a lot myself, but she is disabled.

If you guys could find it in your hearts to either donate or reblog this post, I would be so grateful. Thank you so much for any of your time!

We have to be precise when speaking about this. The narrative matters.

Especially because this celebration is something stemming from the experience of Black Texans and their enslaved ancestors. I would hate to see that legacy and the voices of Black Texans removed from the conversation. It's important to note that even after being freed, these ancestors still had to fight to even celebrate Juneteeth the following year.

Many cities banned then from using parks for celebrations, but refusing to be stopped, freed people eventually crowdsourced amongst themselves to buy land JUST to celebrate

For Black Texans, this is an Independence Day and for the rest of Black America, we would do well to remember that we ain't free until we are all free 🤌🏿

“Perhaps you have forgotten. That’s one of the great problems of our modern world, you know. Forgetting. The victim never forgets. Ask an Irishman what the English did to him in 1920 and he’ll tell you the day of the month and the time and the name of every man they killed. Ask an Iranian what the English did to him in 1953 and he’ll tell you. His child will tell you. His grandchild will tell you. And when he has one, his great-grandchild will tell you too. But ask an Englishman—” He flung up his hands in mock ignorance. “If he ever knew, he has forgotten. ‘Move on!’ you tell us. ‘Move on! Forget what we’ve done to you. Tomorrow’s another day!’ But it isn’t, Mr. Brue.” He still had Brue’s hand. “Tomorrow was created yesterday, you see. That is the point I was making to you. And by the day before yesterday, too. To ignore history is to ignore the wolf at the door.”

So Gregor Mendel (yes, the guy with the pea plants) wrote down that he wanted to be given a thorough autopsy after he died. The year he died was 1884. Autopsies were increasingly common at the time, but Mendel was an Augustinian friar and the arguments preventing donating your body to science for teaching autopsies, research, etc. were theological. The “ethical” source of teaching cadavers for doctors to autopsy was (in many places) the bodies of executed criminals, as a sort of post-mortem punishment.  Mendel became a monk specifically because he couldn’t afford to study otherwise, even after one of his sisters donated her dowry to the cause. He did too well as a monk to continue his work as long as he wanted: he got promoted to Abbott and the last sixteen years of his life were spent doing administrative work, and his experiments weren’t properly replicated, or examined as a viable alternative to then current theories on inheritance, until 1900. But he chose to donate his body to science (which he loved) and be of material benefit to the field of medicine, which he didn’t practice but two of his nephews did.  There’s just something beautiful about a guy who lived through the era where having your body dissected was the height of dishonor, in an institution that had advocated against the practice, deciding that anything that helps humanity as a whole was worth doing. There’s something just as beautiful about the fact that he was exhumed for genetic sequencing on his 200th birthday - usually we don’t just dig people up and grab their genes as a surprise party, because in addition to it being a lot of work we can’t assume they would have appreciated it, but Mendel? He would have been jazzed.

““You want to know what this was really all about?” he asked with the bluntness of a man who, after public disgrace and a stretch in federal prison, had little left to protect. “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.””
