#justice?

Holy fuck y’all. I come on this app to read and find absolute mayhem still clouding this fandom.

Firstly this is digging up shit that went on months ago, but I do thank people who pointed me to the direction of this.

I told y’all, I was being harassed and bullied and no one believed me, people with a bigger platform took their gorgeous time blaming me for something I never did. Over a pair of pink shoes.

Fae and Bel have actually unblocked my since lmao, only for me to do block them back.

I thank @emwritessometimes for posting these

Is it so hard to believe that two grown women were taking their lovely time to harass me in the internet and wouldn’t take it as far to get vile and racist?

Anyhoo, this feels like closure after a long time.

While all that happens I want to thank a few absolute gems in the fandom @arcielee @inlovewithhisblueeyes @themotherofhorses @chaosfae-writes @two-white-butterflies @the-desilittle-bird

On 7th of September 1736, Captain Porteous was dragged from prison and lynched by an angry mob in Edinburgh.

This is a story I enjoy telling my friends who have visited Edinburgh and have a wee wander around with me, The Grassmarket being a great stop off point to have a liquid refreshment in one of the many bars in the area. Edinburgh is so rich with history, the bar names relate to specific things, last week I told you about Maggie Dickson, another bar is the White Hart, which relates to oor first King David. This tale might not have a bar attached to it, but the plaque in the pic is opposite the main Grassmarket "hub" and is good starting point.

The background was popular anger with the economic effects of the Union which had destroyed Scotland's trade with France and had imposed various duties, especially a malt tax in 1725 which drove up the price of ale, there's nothing worse than a Scotsman having to pay more for his alcohol!

Porteous, Captain of the Town Guard, ordered his men to fire at an angry crowd which had begun pelting them with stones at the execution of a popular smuggler in the Grassmarket. Nine spectators were killed, including a young boy watching from a high window. Found guilty, Porteous was sentenced to be hanged and imprisoned in the Tolbooth. Queen Caroline, acting for George II who was in Hanover, granted a stay of execution.

However, the mob took its revenge by breaking into the Tolbooth and dragging Porteous to the Grassmarket where he was lynched on the pole of a dyer's premises directly adjacent to the site of the gallows. On the way, they broke into a booth at the foot of the West Bow to procure a length of rope, leaving behind a guinea in payment on the counter.

The Provost and four bailies, deemed negligent for failing to alert the Castle garrison, were summoned to appear before the House of Lords, resulting in the town being fined £2,000 for the support of Porteous' widow. An Act requiring ministers of the gospel to demand the killers give themselves up and threaten severe penalties on those shielding them was widely seen as an abuse of the Kirk and ignored.

The perpetrators were never caught. Porteous was buried in Greyfriars, his grave marked by a post inscribed P.1736. In 1973, a biographer paid for a new headstone with the words, "John Porteous, a Captain of the Edinburgh City Guard, murdered 7 September 1736 - All passion spent".

Laila Law-Giver: Just a minute. The Thieves Guild steal money from my pocket, forcing me to hurt the public, and they love them for it? 

Mjoll the Lioness: *nods*

Laila Law-Giver: That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for beggers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off the New Life Festival.

Where's our justice?

[persphonesorchid]

I hope the lost souls of the 1,221 third class passengers and crew of the Titanic receive some peace from the (not confirmed, but likely) loss of five stupid wealthy losers on that unregulated submarine. It isn’t justice, but it’s something.

And the real tragedy of the situation will be if they’re successfully rescued.

The media is complicit in the dehumanization of Palestinians with the language they continue to use. If they can’t even call children, children, then what do they truly think of them?

[witchywitchy]

Keep talking about Palestine!

[peachybruiseslego]

its not a trend

"No climate justice on occupied land"

[khaleesiofalicante]

This is important.

The Western Media did not broadcast South Africa's argument, while some dared to only show Israel's defence. Never before in my life have I seen mainstream medias only broadcast one side of the trial.

These actors read out South Africa's case and did what the mainstream media was supposed to do and failed to do.

Proud of them for using their power and privilege the right way.

This elderly woman was one of the leaders of demonstrations against the Vietnam War in 1968, when she was a student at Columbia University. Today, 56 years later, she returns to the same place and says, "Palestine must be free."
