I don't talk about my personal life on here, really at all, mainly for my privacy, but I need to share a personal story.
Justin Johnson, a 16 year old sophomore at Central Dauphin High School was killed on friday. He had a medical condition. He was chased by his fellow students as they yelled racially discriminatory words at him. He died of cardiac arrest after his dad found him passed out in their home after the chase. One of his peers from school was interviewed, they said that he was often ostracized, especially because of his language barrier. He had just recently moved from Jamaica and the student alleges that he was often at the end of jokes, not understanding what they meant.
Central Dauphin East High School, their sister school and my high school, organized a peaceful walk out during the last period of the day tomorrow (Friday May 3rd) over to the administration building, which is just across the parking lot. The admin shut it down. They told us that we couldn't peacefully protest and demand action. Bullying has been a growing issue in our district, i have seen it happen to others very close to me and now i see that someone has died from it. We have scheduled a sit-in at our office lobby for the same time and date, but we have to spread the word by mouth lest the people we protest shut us down again.
This is very personal to me, because this kid was in the same grade as my best friend was when he tragically passed away of brain cancer. This kids death didn't need to happen. My friend was horribly taken by a disease he could do nothing against, while Justin was harassed and killed, simply for the entertainment and enjoyment of his white, privileged peers.
This is a horrible situation, and our district has been crumbling. We are meant to sit by silently while kids die and do nothing about it. This story should not jsut stay in our community. This needs to be seen by the world. Bullying has gone to the extreme, and now kids die. Nex Benedict was murdered for being trans. Justin Johnson was killed by bullying and harassment for being black.
Justice for Justin,
and peace to all those victim to bullying and harassment.

JOKE-OGRAPHY:
1. After Joan finally acquired an escort from Sir Robert, she journeyed across hostile territory to Chinon to meet the dauphin. It was for this journey that she cut her hair short and wore male clothes. In addition to making it easier to ride, run, and fight (if necessary), Joan seemed to feel her purity was better protected by male clothes as she traveled through lands infested with raiders and bandits. As for who inspired her to don this disguise, she's vague about it when asked in her trial. Depending on the source, she either charges no one, or says that only her Voices told her, and no living man.
2. In this cartoon, we skip a lot of boring stuff. Basically the dauphin wanted to be sure Joan wasn't crazy or evil before he risked face by endorsing her. He sent her to some theological scholars for rigorous days of testing. First, some nuns verified her virginity, which was important because, back then, only virgins were believed to receive divine visions. Virginity also meant she hadn't cavorted with devils to acquire magic, which is just fully the most cracked thing I've ever heard. Anyway, she passed, so then she was questioned by doctors of religion, where she was found to be of decent Catholic upbringing. The scholars even scraped together a few vague prophecies -- regarding a maid who would save France -- to support her since she seemed somewhat legit. With no way to know for sure, however, the dauphin decided to just send her to Orléans. She said her first mission was to raise the siege there, so why not let her go to prove whether God was really guiding her?
3. "Cross-dressing" means dressing in clothes meant for the opposite sex. In Joan's time, cross-dressing was considered a sin unless it was done for a good reason, like practical necessity or guarding one's chastity (both of which defined Joan's use of men's clothes). In this cartoon, one of the scholars warns the dauphin that Joan's cross-dressing could be risky if people don't see it the right way. He obviously means "cross-dressing" as in "wearing the other sex's clothes", but Joan thinks he means it as in "wearing an actual cross", so she asks if she can carry her cross instead of wearing it. This is funny.
