Everyday, Black women and girls are missing and either never found or found dead.

Say HER name.

15 year old JOY LYNN. She is missing from Dallas, Texas. The police aren't doing anything, so please, if you suspect anything, found a clue, or whatever, come forward.

Sometimes you see/hear something and your brain just. Will not stop thinking about it. This is one of those times.

Please enjoy this attempt to scratch a fairly violent itch.

THANK YOU MARCUS TO FOR YOUR SERVICES

“They killed my child to try to shut her up. Well, guess what? You just magnified her.”

-Susan Bro, mother of Heather Heyer (May 29, 1985 - August 12, 2017), murdered by white supremacists two years ago in Charlottesville, North Carolina.

26-year-old Jamarion Robinson’s grandmother Beverly Nixon said her grandson was bipolar and schizophrenic. Still got shot 76 (!!!) times. Would a white person get the same treatment?

The witness said he saw more than a dozen patrol cars at the complex where US Marshals killed Robinson on August 5, 2016. Why were there no behavioral specialist? Surely one of them would know how to interact with a bipolar schizophrenic better than the police.

I’m absolutely disgusted.

Here’s Jamarion’s mother’s GoFundMe in case anyone is willing to help.

the "how to draw canes" guide is finished! i'm definitely not an expert, but i do have experience with using a few types of canes so i decided to draw this!! :]

please consider reblogging this! it took a lot of time to draw this and it may help out abled and disabled artists!!

[start id: seven digital drawings against a lined paper background. the first says: "how to draw canes: a how-to guide by venus, a disabled artist" with a drawing of venus, a white curly haired teen with glasses and a drawing of a purple foldable functional cane below. beside venus says "me" with an arrow pointing towards them and beside the cane says "elizabeth, my cane (she's a foldable functional grip".

the second image says: "the main four: there are a few more types than these, but here are the most common!" below is a drawing of a light grey "C" cane, red functional cane, blue offset handle cane, and a mint green quad cane. beside each type of cane is their name.

the third image says: "the 'c' cane: •most simple cane, •only used for slight assistance, •materials: wood, metal, or plastic" with a drawing of a grey "c" cane with two drawings of how to properly grip the cane. below the drawings are the words "hook hand under".

the fourth image says: "functional grip: •similar to 'c', •handle allows better control and support, •used for slightly more assistance than the 'c', •can be foldable, •materials: metal or wood" with a full drawing of a red functional cane with two small drawings of how to grip a functional cane.

the fifth image says: "offset handle: •j-shaped handle, •distributes body weight over the cane's shaft, •great for if you also have wrist problems, •materials: metal (wood??)" with a drawing of blue offset handle cane to the side with two drawings of how to properly grip the cane.

the sixth image says: "quad cane: •rectangle base, •large base = more support, •can stand up on its own, •materials: metal" with a drawing of a mint green quad cane to the side with two drawings of how to properly grip the cane.

the seventh image says: "tips: •get creative! canes can have cool patterns (ex: stripes, floral), •draw the cane in front of the character, not behind, •don't worry if it doesn't look right the first time. i draw canes constantly and they still don't look perfect, •and last but not least, have fun!". at the bottom of the drawing is a stick man smiling and giving a thumbs up. end id.]
