On day 4 of Black History Month, we bring attention to this young lady. Most of y’all don’t know who she is but she’s important. Her name is #LatashaHarlins In 1991, at the ripe age of 15, Latasha went to her local Korean owned food mart and never made it out. The store owner’s wife, Soon Ja Du, mistook her for trying to steal a bottle of orange juice and a minor struggle ensued. Du grabbed Latasha and ended up getting pushed to the ground. Du then went and got her gun and pointed it at Latasha. Latasha bends down, picks up the orange juice, and places it on the counter. As Latasha had walked away to leave the store, Du shot Latasha in the back of the head at a 3 foot distance, killing her immediately. Du tried to claim self defense, but there were 2 eyewitnesses and the store’s security camera showed otherwise. The jury convicted Du and advised the judge to go with the maximum sentence of 16 years. Du walked away with 400 hours of community service, 5 years probation, and a $500 fine, as the judge said although Mrs. D acted inappropriately, her actions were justified. Judge Joyce Karlin states that Mrs. Du was the victim, Latasha is the criminal and would be standing in front of her for assault on a store clerk had she not died. The slaughter of Latasha Harlins is one of major factors in the initiating of the LA Riots. We only hear about Rodney King but she is the original #SayHerName. Tupac had an affinity for Latasha and has mentioned her name in several songs as well as dedicated the iconic song “Keep Ya Head Up” to Latasha. So today we say Latasha Harlins, you’re a pillar baby girl, whether they realize or not. And today, someone heard ya story❤️ #blackhistoryiseverymonth #blackconsciousness https://www.instagram.com/p/Btd4F6KltkH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12pn44xnfndh5

President Donald Trump once again unleashed what’s become his presidential hallmark: a bizarre, winding, threatening press conference, this time following his White House meeting with Democratic leaders Friday to try to break the impasse causing the government shutdown.

In a long, meandering briefing in the Rose Garden, Trump told reporters the partial shutdown now heading into its third week could go on for months, even years, if Democrats don’t give him the $5.6 billion he’s demanding to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall. The Democrats have steadfastly refused. The shutdown has affected some 800,000 federal workers — 420,000 of them forced to work without pay — since Dec. 22.

“This is national security we’re talking about,” Trump said. “We’re not talking about games.“

When asked if there was any “safety net” for workers going without pay as the shutdown continues, Trump responded: “The safety net is going to be having a strong border.”

Trump also floated another way he could get his wall: declaring a state of national emergency over border security to build it without congressional approval.

“I could do it if I wanted,” Trump said.

How To Appeal A Post When You Don’t Have The Appeal Button

Since the 17th about 12 of my posts where flagged as adult content and when I went to try and appeal it there was no appeal button. I went through their help and read the whole article. I even contacted support who then copied and pasted their help page not even trying to assist me.  All I know is that there was supposed to be a button for the original creator to click and allow up to appeal but there wasn’t.

On my computer:

On the app:

See no button for appeal.

It has taken me days to figure out this work around and I thought some other people out there might be having this issue.

Now here is how you appeal your post when you don’t have the appeal button

Now go through your blog and find all your pages with censored posts clicking on them to take you to the original post.

Take a look at the url.

See that number there? Copy it!

Open up a new page and type in this:

https://www.tumblr.com/dashboard/blog/your url/

At the end paste that number.

When you hit enter you will get this:

The appeal button is finally there! Click it!

You’ll get this message and then you’ll click appeal again.

Your post is now being appealed.

You can check that it was fixed just by refreshing your blogs page.

And that’s it! I know it is stupid and ridiculous to do such a ridiculous back method but unfortunately it’s the only solution I’ve come up with.

Also no you can’t just use the weird sidebar dashboard to find it as any flagged posts don’t actually show up at all in it.

Anyways I hope this helps you guys.

Dressed in a white lace gown and shining tiara placed gracefully amongst her fashioned dark hair, Gladys Ricart looked like a fairytale princess that had stepped right out of the pages of a storybook. It was September 26th, 1999 – her wedding day. Joy filled the air as people bustled around the New Jersey home that she shared with her son and mother. A line-up of nines bridesmaids giggled as they helped one another make final touches on for hair and makeup. Gladys beamed as she posed in her wedding dress. In just a short amount of time she would be meeting her fiancé, James Preston, at the Church on the Hill in Flushing, Queens of New York City to exchange their vows in front of all of their loved ones.

As excited people swarmed around the house, a man carrying a briefcase walked in. The man, presumed to be a guest as appeared to be dressed for the formal occasion, opened his briefcase and pulled out a .38-caliber handgun. Just as Gladys was finishing handing her bridesmaids their bouquets, she was shot three times. The house erupted into chaos. Panicked wedding guests sprinted in every direction without fully knowing the source of the gunshot. Gladys’ bridesmaids screamed as they sprinted out of the house and collapsed in grief on the front lawn. One of the flower girls shouted, “Don’t kill her! Don’t kill her!” while adults attempted to shield her, as well as the other little girls, from the violent scene. In an act of bravery the bride’s brother tackled the intruder and managed to disarm him. Using the man’s own gun, the brother held him in place until help arrived. Tragically, on what was supposed to be one of the happiest days of her life, Gladys Ricart passed away at the age of thirty-nine. All of this occurred as the wedding videographer’s camera was still recording.

The killer was Augustin Garcia, the victim’s ex-boyfriend. After a tumultuous six years, Ricart finally decided to put an end to their relationship. She had no intention of seeing her former lover again. Garcia, however, could never quite let go. In the months following the breakup, he relentlessly stalked Gladys. He would show up to Gladys’ house, and harass the woman by throwing rocks at her windows. One incident was so frightening that Ricart resorted to calling 911 for help. A week before the wedding Garcia left 100 roses on her front lawn in a final gesture to win her back, and when that did not work he made the decision Gladys Ricart’s life. After the trial, Augustin Garcia was found guilty of first degree murder. He was sentenced to life in prison.

Mourners flocked to attend the public wake. In life, she had been a strong pillar of her community, and was an active volunteer. It came as no surprise that this vibrant and beloved woman would draw a crowd for a final goodbye. Not everyone in attendance knew Gladys, but all were deeply touched by her story. The funeral was a private event held in the Dominican Republic, where Gladys was born. She was buried wearing her wedding dress and veil. The bridesmaids and groomsmen also wore their wedding attire to the service.

On September 26th, 2001 a young Dominican woman by the name of Josie Ashton traveled from Florida to New York City to express her outrage over the tragic wedding day murder and the media’s poor response to it. Donning a wedding gown and with Ricart’s family and friends, she marched through the streets of Queens with at her side until they reached the church where the wedding was supposed to take place two years ago. A photograph of a Gladys was pinned on the front of the dress as a reminder of not only what had been lost, but what was also at stake. Ashton continued her 1,600 mile trek until she finally made it back to her home in Florida. Through the years, one woman’s protest has grown into a nationwide event known as the “Bride’s March”. For 18 years in a row on September, 26th, thousands of women walk together in solidarity in protest against domestic violence against women. The protestors wear wedding dresses or white clothing in remembrance of Gladys Ricart. Many carry along with them photographs of loved ones they have lost to domestic violence.

On their official website the Bride’s March lists the three main goals of their mission. 1. To pay tribute to Gladys Ricart and to all of the battered women and other victims who have died as a result of domestic violence by holding an annual March on the anniversary of the death of Gladys Ricart, September 26; 2. To disseminate bilingual information on the issue of domestic violence to the Latino community and to provide information pertaining to the services available to victims and survivors; 3. To inspire on a national level, other communities to organize a similar March in their neighborhoods to be held on the anniversary of the death of Gladys Ricart, September 26, memorializing her and all others killed as a result of domestic violence.

For more information on current plans, as well as the history and accomplishments of the Bride’s March, please check out their website: http://www.bridesmarch.com/index.html

I periodically feel so fucking sad for women in history. I feel like birth control in countries where it is widely used has made women forget an aspect of male cruelty and sociopathy that is now less apparent (giving the illusion that men have improved when only women’s defences against men have)—the fact that for most of history men could live with a woman for decades and not care that they were slowly killing her with endless back-to-back pregnancies which not only resulted in early death more often than not, but also in a total smothering of the woman’s spirit and talents. I saw a quote by Anne Boyer the other day that called straight relationships for women “not only deadly, but deadening”—as I was reading Jill Lepore’s Book of Ages, a biography of Benjamin Franklin’s sister Jane, who was bright and loved reading and wrote some poetry, but had little time to make anything of her life in between her 12 pregnancies. Benjamin Franklin’s mother had 10 sons and 7 daughters. What could they possibly accomplish when their husbands kept impregnating them year after year after year throughout their entire adult life? 

Charlotte Brontë eschewed marriage longer than most (writing to Ellen Nussey that she wished they could just set up a little cottage and live together) but she finally married at 38, became pregnant, and died before her 39th birthday. If she had married younger would Jane Eyre exist? I was reading that biography of Charity & Sylvia last month and comparing their life together in their little cottage to the life of their married female relatives, which was honestly hell on earth. One of Charity’s sisters had 18 children. Charity’s mother had 10 living ones, and probably some additional stillbirths. She gave birth to her first child age 19, in 1758, then to a pair of twins in 1760, then another child in 1761, another in 1763, another in 1765, another in 1767, another in 1769, another in 1771, another in 1774, another in 1777. Charity was the last child and her mother had been sick with tuberculosis for months when she became pregnant with her, and she died soon after giving birth.

I wish people would call this murder—this woman was murdered by her husband, like countless other women who do not ‘count’ as victims of male violence because straight sex is natural, pregnancy is natural, childbirth is natural. But when after 20 years of nonstop pregnancies this woman had tuberculosis and suffered from severe respiratory distress, severe weight loss, fever and exhaustion, and her husband impregnated her again, her death was expected. He must have known; he just didn’t care. This woman’s sister—Charity’s aunt—remained a spinster and outlived all of her married sisters by several decades, living well into her eighties. (Ironically, male doctors in her century asserted that sex with men was necessary for women’s health. The biographer quoted from a popular home health guide which said that old maids incurred grievous physical harm from a lack of sex with men.) And this aunt had the time and liberty to develop her skill for embroidery to such an extent that two museums still preserve her embroidered bed drapes. She accomplished something, she nurtured her talent and self. Her name was also Charity, and I find it interesting that Charity’s mother named her last daughter, whose pregnancy & birth killed her, after her childless, unmarried sister.

When I see women reblog my post about Sophia Tolstoy’s misery with her 13 children, adding comments like “thank god marriage is no longer synonymous with this”, I wonder if they realise that men have not magically become any kinder or more concerned about their female partner’s health and fulfillment, it’s just that women now have access to better ways of protecting themselves from their male partner’s indifference to their health and fulfillment.
