Bella Ramsey and their soon to be award-winning facial expressions, constantly breaking my heart.
It shouldn't, but it often does. THE LAST OF US 2x03 | Season 1
The Jackson citizens are already very angry. Maybe they will burn the whole MF to the ground!! The Governor would shit himself.
Movies about black trauma is literally mockery and I hate it
Hollywood just loves to see us for entertainment
I agree--and I say this as I was jamming to the Candyman soundtrack. But I think folks saw Jordan Peele's take on horror and ran with it. But even before then, we've had so much of media focused on black pain. It's devastating.
I can't wait for the next generation.
And in general I want more exposure for dark skinned black women.
"No Child should get Gender Affirming Care" turns into "No one should get Gender Affirming Care". "No Trans Person should be in Children's Media" turns into "No Trans Person should be in Media". They use Children's "Safety" as a method to get a foot in the door. They then expand their previous statements to ensure the near complete erasure of Trans People and Queer People.

It has failed to achieve a single one of its goals and thanks to the actions of the Israeli armed forces, Israel is now in court for genocide. Thousands of IDF soldiers have been injured or killed. Their image as the invisible moral army has been thoroughly destroyed
Meanwhile the IDF stationed at the West Bank have failed to stop the Resistance groups operating there. The IDF have repeatedly raided the West Bank, destroying homes and killing civilians, many of them children. The Resistance has spent months pushing them back. There's a belief that there could soon be a Palestinian uprising in the region
A week or so ago, the IDF withdrew 25,000 out of 50,000 soldiers from northern Gaza after failing to dismantle Al Qassam there. In fact, every time rockets are launched from Gaza to the Occupied Territories, they are launched from the north, in order to make sure no settler believes the IDF when they claim victory over northern Gaza
Still, this is a huge victory for the Resistance. Let Henry Kissinger tell it
In the process we lost sight of one of the cardinal maxims of guerrilla war: the guerrilla wins if he does not lose. The conventional army loses if it does not win.
Do not let hopelessness sink in, do not let that fear and doomed mentality take hold. That is what these people want, they want you to feel hopeless and alone. Because the hopeless and broken are easy to control, turn that sadness and fear into the things they cannot break. Turn it into anger, righteous fury and hatred towards the system and what it has done. Turn it into the love you have for yourself and each other, a love for friends or family or a loved one or you community, or even for the hope of a better world
The fire in your heart must keep you warm when the world is as cold as it is. I know it feels like we have all been knocked down, but I need you all to stand back up, to rise. Let that grief turn into a burning anger or love or whatever drives you. stand up and stand proud, and spit in the face of this world and tell it that if it wants you to just lay down and die, then you will fight as hard as you possibly can. That if it is to have it's victory over you, let it be a hard fought one till the end
Whether you find the strength to continue from your community, your faith, your family, your friends, your love, your hate, however you find it doesn't matter, what Matters is that you find this strength and continue to live on and live as best you can.
I understand that life feels scary and hopeless right now, but know that no matter what happens. There may be people who hate you and want you to suffer, but there are also people who love you and want you to live on and be happy. Maybe it's a lover, a friend, family, your community. But even if you think you have nobody, your wrong.
Because I love you, each and every one of you. And I hope that you all continue to live on and be happy and choose to live on despite the fears and dread. Know that there is always at least one person who loves you.
Keep strong, have a warm meal, and cherish the good in this world, and know that there are people who love you and are proud of you
