Met the most interesting man at a bus stop in Milwaukee yesterday. Dressed head to toe in red. Red beanie, red hoodie, red sweatpants, red shoes. Said his name was “Dr Reid” and was a marriage Counsellor. He took a long look at me, wearing a face mask, sunglasses and baseball cap, took a long look at my mom, and asked if we were a married couple. I take off my glasses and pull my mask down to smile and tell him I was, in fact, her daughter. 10/10 interaction. He left quickly when he saw our bus about to arrive.

You know, I was thinking today about state governors (as I often do) and while looking through a current list of all of them I realized, not a single one of them is black. Not. A. Single. One. Wtf???? We need more people of color in government.

Sometimes I just really want to bitch slap people, stop being fucking stupid I literally cannot even look at you without feeling ungodly amounts of rage

ways to help protestors if you are unable to protest

everybody has to do their part. as a reference, this was posted on 1 june 2020. if any links are broken or direct to a place they should not, please feel free to add on with corrections. if there is new information with better knowledge, please feel free to share. thank you.

1. donate

do not donate to shaun king. he has repeatedly collected money to “support” black people, but no one knows where the money is.

northstar health collective (healthcare and medical aid for people on the front lines)

reclaim the block (aims to redistribute police funding to help the minneapolis community)

2. educate yourself

it isn’t enough to sign petitions and reblog/retweet/etc. nonblack people, including people of color, owe it to black people to educate themselves and correct themselves and the people around them on anti-blackness.

note: more links are in the masterposts linked below.

resources and tools regarding racism and anti-blackness (google sheets compilation)

readings on society, racism, the prison system, etc. (twitter thread)

3. give out supplies to protestors

people need supplies to protest safely, and even if they bring supplies with them, they can often run out. if you’re able, stock up and hand them out to people protesting. for more supplies to donate, see the “george floyd action” google docs link in section 5.

water bottles (dehydration and heatstroke are not things people should have to deal with alongside bastard cops. if the police in your area are particularly violent or known to use tear gas, get the ones with the sports cap/suction-thing/etc so people can use them as emergency eye-flushes.)

snacks (make sure to take into account that people have allergies of all sorts. foods will have a little label that says “may contain” and then list any potential allergens. write the allergens on the ziploc (or any container you use) in permanent marker, or better yet, write the snacks included in the pack.)

masks (don’t forget there’s still a pandemic going on. also it will aid in deterring facial recognition when the police try to track down protestors,  also part two, if the cops use tear gas, wearing a mask (with the combination of a scarf or bandana) will lessen the adverse effects. lessen, not stop.)

bandanas, scarves, etc. and goggles (ski goggles, swimming goggles, etc.) (see above for explanation on the scarves. same goes for the goggles. anti–tear gas and anti–facial recognition.)

clean shirts (for people who are heavily gassed. also helps deter recognition through clothing.)

wound care supplies (band-aids, packets of neosporin packets or a similar antibiotic, alcohol wipes, etc.; if you can, decant bactine into those little travel bottles.)

a sharpie or another type of marker (for writing bail numbers or emergency contacts on arms, hands, etc. it’s not enough to have your city’s bail fund number stored on your phone; the police won’t give it to you to look it up. give people a marker so they can write it down, preferably not washable so it isn’t easily removed.)

IMPORTANT: KNOWING FIRST AID

tear gas: if you’re hit, get out as fast and as soon as you can. take anyone you can with you. the longer you’re in the gas, the harder it will be for you to see, and it can irritate your airways, making it hard to breathe. if you’re hit, don’t run; it’ll only make things worse on your lungs. when you leave the area, take a cold shower. don’t use hot water (it will only reactivate the agent); don’t bathe (it will only spread the CS around). (source 1) (source 2) (cdc fact sheet on tear gas)

move them to a clean and ventilated area where it’s as safe as possible.

ask them if they’re wearing contact lenses. have them remove it. if they’re wearing glasses, rinse it with water.

solution of half liquid antacid, half water. spray from the inside going out, with the head tilted back and slightly towards the side being rinsed. if they say it’s okay, open the eye slightly while doing this. (source)

bullet wounds: the most important thing is to stop the bleeding. be sure to check for an exit wound and cover that as well. treat both wounds, but treat the worse one first.

first aid in active shooting scenarios

making a tourniquet (a commercial tourniquet is best, but improvised ones can work as well if done properly; the most important things to remember is that tourniquets are for limb injuries and are not meant for the head or torso and that they have to be very tightly wound on the injury.)

4. be a source of information

be responsible with this. people’s lives are at stake. that being said, the media is a fucking joke and the best way to get accurate information in a grassroots rebellion is amongst ourselves. record everything, but if you are going to share any information at all, be sure to blur people’s faces.

NUMBERS TO CALL FOR ARRESTED PROTESTORS (ALPHABETICAL ORDER; SOURCES LINKED TO THE NUMBER)

remember to keep phones OFF unless absolutely necessary. cell phone towers, stingrays, location notifs can all be used to track you and other protestors. don’t fuck around. if your phone must be on, keep it on airplane mode as often as possible and only communicate using encrypted methods. no, snapchat doesn’t count. (a twitter thread on stingrays, for those interested)

also, if you’re protesting, change your passcode. make it at least 11 characters long and don’t use facial/thumb recognition.

Ahhhhhhh, Harlivy endgame!!!! I feel it coming...

since i have not seen anybody share information on this here, please pay attention to the philippines right now and provide any support you can. if this bill passes, people's basic rights to free speech will be taken from them.

anyone seeing this from the ph, please stay safe and stay strong. these are scary times.

Reblog if your inbox is ALWAYS open for random asks, even if you haven’t reblogged any meme

Children/Siblings are like pancakes

The first one is often a little mangled, and has an odd crusty layer because of taking the butter initially that lines the pan so the next ones can be tastier

The middle ones are the best, light and fluffy and evenly cooked on both sides and in nice even circles

The last one is sometimes a little bit too small or too big and often are odd shapes because you’re trying to scrape the rest of the batter off the sides of the bowl

I don’t really know what these means but yknow, I don’t make the rules.

This is an approved message from a middle child.

“It’s God’s will.”

“Well God hasn’t met my will yet.”

(Little Women, 2019)

Jo is my spirit animal and I love her.

Watching Little Women right now and I just gotta say, DAMNNN, this entire movie is straight poetry. I freakin love it.

I still really want Harley and Ivy to end up together but, I gotta say, Kiteman is kind of growing on me. I am conflicted.

Picture this.

Leviathan takes Lena to hurt Lex once they find out Lex is targeting them. Lena cleverly escapes (because she’s a badass) before getting caught by Leviathan during her escape and ends up being in real danger.

As soon as Kara finds out Lena is in danger, she freakin flies over and beats the crap out of whatever member of Leviathan is threatening Lena, but gets hurt during her blind rage fight and Lena finishes them off and helps hurt Kara. Thus begins their first step towards mending their relationship. Fighting to protect each other and realizing they still care deeply for each other.

A whole mood whenever I talk to people about what I want for the future.
