My heart is broken for Ryan Gainer. No one deserves to die simply for being black and autistic. We must fight for the rights of all autistics, because no one will do it for us.

It is so close to autism awareness month, and my heart hurts knowing just how many people face the same discrimination for simply having a disability and being a POC.

I urge everyone to share and reblog as many posts as they can. Get the internet’s attention! Because we need everyone if we are going to continue the fight for justice for Ryan Gainer.

Rest in Power, Ryan Gainer

Why we need Land Back

We should talk about current issues Indigenous people face.

In Canada at least there are many problems still happening.

Indigenous children are being ripped away from their loving families and put into foster care simply because the families are poor or the parents struggle with mental illness or something like that.

Women are being forcibly sterilized against their will.

Girls, women, and 2 spirit people are being kidnapped and sold into sex slavery and are also getting murdered and raped and their bodies are being thrown into the landfills.

The land that Indigenous communities need for their cultures and livelihoods is being destroyed by resource extraction companies that cut through the landscape and leave open wounds, that pollute the land, air, and water, and destroy the biodiversity and health of the ecosystems.

There is police brutality against Indigenous people, and people are killed by the police every day. There are hate crimes against Indigenous people.

Social services on reserves, including education, healthcare, utilities, housing, etc, are horrifically underfunded, and are funded much less well than the same social services off of reserves.

There’s discrimination in employment, in healthcare, in pretty much everything. And Indigenous people are kept in poverty and homelessness by the discriminatory society.

We need Land Back.

Land Back will allow Indigenous people to stop their land from being destroyed. Their cultures and livelihoods and mental health and spiritual health and well-being is so deeply tied to the land/nature. And actually, having them be able to effectively protect the land helps all of us because all humans are dependant upon the land even if we don’t realize it.

It will also allow Indigenous communities to force the government to stop discriminating against them by giving them worse social services. It will allow them to force the government to give them the same social services everyone else gets.

It will also allow them to force the government to stop taking their children. All children deserve to be with the families who love them and they should not be ripped away from their families, because this causes deep and devastating lifelong trauma.

It would allow Indigenous communities to stop rapists and traffickers and murderers from entering their communities. It will allow them to force rapists and traffickers and murderers out of their communities. And it will allow them to make sure every case of people getting raped or kidnapped or trafficked or killed is properly investigated and the victims are saved and the perpetrators get justice. Same with other hate crimes.

It will allow Indigenous people to have the power necessary to push back on police brutality and build better models of law enforcement, including community-ventured models.

Indigenous communities will also likely get a flow of money that they can use to lift their people out of poverty. They’ll have the power to stop healthcare discrimination and forcible sterilization. And they’ll have the power to force us to give justice to unethical healthcare professionals and to force systemic change in the healthcare system so that medical mistreatment doesn’t happen.

Indigenous people would also have the opportunity to do more outreach to settler communities and teach them about Indigenous culture and values and stuff, so that people learn to be less racist and discriminatory.

Land Back will help pretty much every marginalized community because stopping racism and discrimination for one race usually leads to there being decreased racism and discrimination for other races too.

Ultimately Land Back is about giving Indigenous people and communities the power to keep themselves and each other safe in a society that is actively against them. It is also about keeping the ecosystems that we all rely upon safe, and about stopping discrimination and racism.

Giving Indigenous people power to protect themselves and their communities isn’t going to prevent any other community from protecting themselves. It will create more equality and social justice for everyone in Canada.

I support Land Back. I’m a settler girl and I support Land Back, and you should too.

Being Black and presenting as masculine, embracing masculinity, traditionally masculine gender roles, and so much more that may be viewed as masculine within certain societies, is not lesser than anything associated with femininity. Black masculine women and femmes do not need to conform or perform to your standards and ideas of femininity, in order to be seen as human, gentle, caring, dainty, or worthy of protection. Neither do masc presenting Black women and femmes need to even like being feminine or have to be feminine in general, in order to be important and cherished voices within their respective communities.

All Black women and femmes, regardless of identities and presentations, do not need to embrace and present as feminine in order for our lives to be seen as valuable. We do NOT need to be feminine in order to receive sympathy or empathy. We do not need to be feminine in order to be included in the phrase/movement of Protect Black Women. And we don't need a connection to or to identify with womanhood in order for our voices to be heard.

This goes double for brown and dark skinned Black women and femmes even more. Challenge the systems that make it so darker Black women and femmes are barred from or have restricted access on exploring, embracing, and being seen feminine or women but also challenge the views and associations that being masculine or having a close and intimate relationship with manhood as a darker skinned Black woman/femme is inherently violent, inherently angrier, and inherently unattractive.

Last but not least darker skinned Black women and femmes who are plus sized and present as masculine, should not be anyone's epitomy of what violent, dangerous, or aggressive looks like. Biases like those directly contribute to systematic oppression against fat Black women/femmes on daily basis. They don't exist in a vacuum and should not be taken lightly.

Ultimately Black women and femmes having femininity, the right to identify or be seen as women stripped from us by white people and white supremacy, does not mean make masculinity unaccessible to us, or that presenting as masculine doesn't have its own prejudices and biases to dismantle, or that masculinity is a prison to us or our only viable option. If you're not advocating for and protecting all Black women and femmes than your activism, allyship, actions, and words, are empty.

MAGA is obsessed with "owning the libs" because they're not allowed to own black people anymore.

Every officer involved needs to lose their job. Don't tell me you couldn't see that this was a child and not an adult. Description... neon pants is not neon shorts, a white shirt is not a blue shirt. Incompetent. The racism in the country is exhausting. Sue their asses. Now black children can't even take out the trash in America.

Sickle Cell and the Prison Industrial Complex

This article was authored by Professor Simon Dyson (Sickle Cell and the Social Sciences) and Professor Gwyneth Boswell of the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England. It was published in The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice in 2006. Together, Dyson and Boswell highlight seventeen cases between US and UK prisons. Seven of these cases demonstrate that the care of incarcerated people with sickle cell anemia "falls well short of the minimum standards that might reasonably be required." Ten of them involved forced restraints of Warriors resulting in their deaths. To add insult to injury, the people who the criminal injustice system enlists to speak on its behalf oftentimes conflate sickle cell anemia with sickle cell trait, which is the genetic carrier state in which the person who has it is usually healthy. But, as you will read in the article, trait has been weaponized by the carceral state to reinforce preexisting racial discrimination in employment, insurance, and other spheres. And as was written in The New York Times last year, American police when they can will use trait as an alibi for why a Black person happened to die in their custody.

Attached below is a table listing the seventeen cases I mentioned above. Below that is The New York Times article.
