I just collect magazines and stuff that gets mailed to my house that my parents don’t want, I get a lot of use out of advertisements for supermarkets bc there’s lots of images of raw meat lol. The images in the angel collage came from these luxury magazines advertising jewlery and watches and such, lots of nice big high quality images of pretty gemstones
everyone on insta suddenly posting that "all eyes on rafah" picture in their stories after being quiet for half a year and then calling it a day, thinking they did smth is pissing me off man
Sonya Massey, a black woman was shot three times, one being a fatal headshot in her own home for holding a pot of hot water, when she had called in the police for a prowler outside of her house.
she was shot. in. her. house. for saying "i rebuke you in the name of jesus". that's all. it took less than five seconds for Sean Grayson to whip out his pistol. said attackers partner offered first aid but he refused it because "it's a headshot, she's dead".
because no one can testify against you if they're dead.
the cops name is Sean Grayson, and he should never be able to leave prison.
this was not an "incident". this was a murder. do NOT let people forget her name.
BLACK LIVES MATTER!
tw below for gunfire. the death however is off camera and not visible.
I do legit understand the necessity of getting body-cam footage to "prove" police brutality but I hate people spreading that shit around. The articles and quotes aren't enough? Is her death not fucking enough? I feel ill just thinking about it.
Y'all don't need to spread around that footage and you don't need to watch it.
It will never not be a massive mindfuck to me how humanity has always made it entirely 1,000% ok to exclude Black People in any and everything that is a human concept — but it’s somehow “more racist” or “aggressively gatekept” for Black People to preserve & protect ourselves, our own spaces and representation. 🫠
I want to underscore that the creator of the audio has stated multiple times in their other videos (and in the full length video this audio is from), that she recognizes that voting/demonstrating/calling your reps DOES indeed have an impact, however, they go on to explain that the impact is simply NOT ENOUGH at this point; that by itself, protest is ineffective without making other disruptions to the system. I highly encourage you to check out his other videos. She has a lot of great content that breaks things down.
Y’all’s behavior and attitude towards boycotting in support of an entire race of people going through literal genocide is actually very weird and I’m wishing the worst on you if you can’t put down a 10$ coffee or a random McDonald’s order to show the barest form of solidarity
sometimes, I'll be reading an atsv fic and come across one word or way of phrasing or encounter, and all of a sudden just know the author is black. on the flipside, sometimes writers will write in a certain way that makes it obvious they're decidedly not 💀

That doesn't change the fact that each group struggle.
Feminism aims to fight the patriarchy, which predominantly affects women. Especially black women. But the patriarchy negatively affects men too. Not to the same extent, but they are affected nonetheless.
Trans people, especially black trans women, have always fought for the rights for queer people and other people. They started this entire thing.
Black Lives Matter is a movement focused on combatting systemic racism in our societies and governments.
Can you see the connection between these examples? Everyone is affected by what these groups are fighting against. We are all stronger together.
Even if our individual struggles are different, a problem shared is a problem halved.
Drusilla Varus approached her three times.
The first was during her early days in Ul’dah. The head of the Lemures knew what she was without a second glance, and the proposition was rejected with a rude remark and a door slammed in the face. The second was during a return to the city, not long before she departed for Baelsar’s Wall. That time the proposition was met with a quick and hasty decline.
The third time was different. Desperate. On edge. Angry in a way she had never been before. The world was cascading into ruin and her enemies were closing in on all sides. She needed whatever advantage she could get—even if it cost her her soul.
She would pay any cost to assassinate as many of the Telophoroi’s agents as she could before the destroyed everything she has ever fought for.
