i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because:
i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live
most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person
im not a pissbaby
I think people see Jason as far too old when he died. He was fifteen. Do you know what fifteen year olds look like? Even if they’re considered “dreamboats” by their peers, they still have squishy kid faces. They still look like colts with long limbs and knobby knees. His shoulders were probably broad, but he still had to grow into them.
My point is, Jason was a child. And by disregarding that important element, it erases much of his core characterization. It’s almost like shielding the Joker from the heinous actions he committed. He is a child killer.
Jason is only nineteen now. That’s a year older than the legal age. This poor boy reached out for love and got broken glass shoved down his throat instead.
Blood and rust and angry tears. These things make up Jason Todd, murdered child.
halyna hutchins’s death was 100% preventable and is absolutely part of the same labor issues iatse has been fighting to rectify and making it about anything else or anyone else is disrespectful
y’all need to stop making a living off of young, bipoc artists for nothing

Wow a very good idea to help and send money directly to people and you can find them in all price categories. If you book than:
1. Let them know you won’t come
2. Put the date as early as can be [today/tomorrow] apparently AirBnB holds on to the money until the end of the booking period. I saw an example of someone booking 12/13 May and the house owner asked to move it earlier so that the money comes sooner.

Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.
Reblog to save a life?
Hello, all:
Swallowing my pride and asking for help is a very hard thing to do, and I hate that I’ve had to do it so often in the last year. But unfortunately, for the happiness of me and my family, it’s something that I will have to do again.
For anyone that doesn’t know -
Since the day he was born, my son Julian has had a smile on his face; he’s a bright, loving child who never stops laughing and running around.
In the spring of 2022, however, that changed. Suddenly, he was in constant and agonizing pain - he stopped smiling, stopped laughing, stopped running around, stopped being the little ball of sunshine we’ve always known him to be, and couldn’t make it from his bed to the sofa without being carried.
He couldn’t even make it through a single night without waking up screaming in pain.
He was four years old.
After months of tests and chronic pain, Julian was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and has been going throw daily chemo and other cancer treatments since then.
Being a single parent, I haven’t been able to work; I’ve tried my best to save as much as I can, but obviously money has been tight. We are based in England at the moment but have been planning on moving to the United States as soon as the doctors say it is safe for Julian to travel to be close to my own family. Unfortunately, the various travel costs are too high for us to afford at the moment.
These costs include sending our belongings overseas, the travel itself, and - most importantly to Julian - shipping his beloved cat.
It’s been hard to properly explain to Jules what he’s been going through - he’s autistic, and oftentimes can’t comprehend why he’s feeling the way he’s feeling. Because of this, the emotional support Julian receives from Fabien (shown with Julian above) has been just as important of a support system as our friends and family.
Fabien, lovingly called ‘Baby Cat’ by Julian, has been with him through it all; the idea that I’d have to separate them solely because I can’t afford to ship him breaks my heart - I need to somehow find close to $6,000 to afford all the travel costs.
My paypal is here and my ko-fi is here.
Any and all assistance that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated - even if that’s just sharing this post.
people really just read books like “no thoughts head empty 🤪”
philly turned out to evict trump, so if you want to say thank you for getting it done please donate to the philly bail fund.
philly has the worst cops in america, just two weeks ago they pulled a Black mother out of her car, beat her and arrested her in front of her 2-year-old son, who they then kidnapped and used for copaganda. she had committed the crime of getting stuck on a one-way street at the edge of a protest against the murder by cops of Walter Wallace, a Black man suffering from mental illness, who was shot in front of his mother.
there's no reason to expect cop behavior to improve now that trump's lost and they're angry. please support the people of philadelphia, who showed up.
for more on police violence, antiracism and radically transformative politics in philly and what you can do to help, see @phillybailfund, @phillybailout, @blmphilly, @phillywerise, @vietlead, and twitter hashtags #FreeAnt #WalterWallaceJr
philly/pa folks add more orgs & links if you have them!
