This was her FAVORITE time of year... She should be spending it with family... she should be be alive. I'm pissed she's not. I'm so so pissed. I'm hurt. on the verge of tears.
Please dont forget her face, her name, her smile, her caring soul.
She wanted to be a nurse. Wanted to help mothers and babies... And she never got to.
The world was a better place when she was in it...
Merry Christmas Breonna... Thinkin ab you...

The Tyre Nichols Memorial Fund
Tyre Nichols was loved by his community and was known to be gentle, kind, and joyful. He loved skating and was originally from the Bay Area in California. He was known as someone “you know when he comes through the door he wants to give you a hug” and that “he wouldn’t hurt a fly.”
“He had never been in trouble with the law, not even a parking ticket. He was an honest man, a wonderful son, and kind to everyone. He was quirky and true to himself, and his loss will be felt nationally.”
Btw, the link includes a photo of graphic injuries. View with discretion.

hey you know what makes me afraid for the future? the fact that most people who become police officers from now on definitely saw all the bullshit that we tried to call out and put a stop to and they’ll still become a police officer. They’ll see the discrimination and the brutality and they’ll go ‘i’m fine with that’ and they’ll become a cop. There’s no way you go into this blind. We’re all on the internet and that’s made it impossible not to hear the rally cries. I want to believe many police officers who just wanted to serve the public and protect people. The job may be shit but I’d like to believe the people are good. Still, I can’t imagine anyone from this generation going into it for any of the right reasons. They heard us scream for justice and scream for our lives and they will be happy to ignore us.

The 1985 MOVE bombing, locally known by its date, May 13, 1985, was the destruction of residential homes in the Cobbs Creek neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, by the Philadelphia Police Department during a standoff with MOVE, a black liberation organization. Philadelphia police dropped two explosive devices from a helicopter onto the roof of a house occupied by MOVE. The Philadelphia Fire Department allowed the resulting fire to burn out of control, destroying 61 previously evacuated neighboring homes over two city blocks and leaving 250 people homeless. Six adults and five children were killed in the attack, with one adult and one child surviving. A lawsuit in federal court found that the city used excessive force and violated constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure.

I live in America. The grand ol' U S of A😒
It sucks. Right now, they're pushing a law 'Kids Online Safety Act' or KOSA. This will strip LGBTQ+ rights even further. I guarantee if this bill passes there will be such a devastating, heartbreaking spike in suicides (particularly teens)
From what I understand, this will remove Ao3, Wattpad, TikTok, and (most of all) Tumblr.
They say they want to help the kids, but this is a bill sponsored by homophobes and transphobes. All they want is their way.
When I had no one, nothing, I had Wattpad. I had a community with friends that encouraged me. When I was diagnosed with a blood disease, being treated for depression and bipolar with such horrible drugs, when I was still dealing with my abusive dad, when I couldn't sleep because of insomnia, I had my friends online. I had stories that allowed me to slip away into another universe and leave behind my pain.
They shouldn't take away our rights. I'm already so devastated at how abortion has been handled. How they still treat POC, how much land they've taken from Native Americans, Native Hawai'ians, and countless others.
It's truly disgusting and I can't believe they are so greedy that they will strip away the rights of anyone and everyone to contort people to their way of living, of thinking.
I'm tired. I'm so tired... I can't do it anymore. I've had everything taken from me and I can't allow this too. I feel so helpless and so exhausted. I'm Im just weary at this point.
Anyway... please, if you can, support the stop to this bill!!

This month is Black History Month so I want to give a shout-out to all the Black mspec lesbians! Queer history wouldn't be what it is without black people, and the whitewashing of queerness is so disgusting when black queer people have been a huge part of our community and led many of the fights for our rights! And it's even more unfortunate when your own community, the lesbian community, turns on you and uses the terms (nonman and nonwoman) that were used to degender you and other black people as a way to prove your identities are not "real" or "valid." Black bi lesbians, Black pan lesbians, Black poly lesbians, Black omni lesbians, Black abro lesbians, and all Black lunians, you're amazing. You matter so much to this community. We wouldn't be the same without you.

Pepper sprayed.
Beaten.
Struck with a baton.
Kicked.
29-year-old father.
Called for his mother.
No one helped him.
No one cared.
For NOTHING.
Who are we?

This Morning I left my motel room at 7:50 am and was privy to Spokane Valley Police Brutally Beating and Arresting a Brown Man for alleged "assault against an officer"... watch the video and tell me it doesnt ring george floyd bells. tell me they really needed 8 cars, and the fire department. share it. let it be known. get their names. Get their badges.
