I See A Lot Of “yennefer Made A Choice And Chose Being Transformed Over Having Kids, Then Regretted

Please repost and share this information.

This is very scary and concerning for black people. AGAIN DEHUMANIZING BLACK PEOPLE

Black people health conditions aren't taken seriously compared to others.Many black people are scared to go to the hospital for this reason

Black women are 4x likely to die from complications of childbirth than white women in the United states.they've had experience that has unacceptably poor maternal health outcomes

college au where everyone is afraid of geralt bc he looks scary and wears all black and doesn’t talk to anyone and doesn’t show up to class all the time and ppl think he’s like. definitely done something illegal, like killed someone. 

but when ppl do see him around campus, he’s always with jaskier, his very mismatched boyfriend

and ppl always comes up with theories about how he and jaskier, his sunshine lollipops and very musically and socially talented boyfriend got together

someone says jaskier’s loud mouth got him in trouble and geralt saved him, like some fairytale and it was love at first sight

another says jaskier’s the one who saved geralt bc they saw jaskier throw a bottle at a guy for making a snarky comment about his boyfriend and jaskier’s definitely the scary one i swear it guys

others say jaskier is some sort of rich boy and geralt’s his bodyguard bc his family wouldn’t let him go to college for music unless he’s got a babysitter

in reality they’re both huge nerds who met at a Renaissance faire when history major geralt said jaskier’s hat is tacky and his doublet shouldn’t be That unbuttoned, i can see your undershirt and jaskier was like “why are you looking at my unbuttoned doublet, my eyes are up here oh no ur hot”

this is how you nip internalized self hatred in the bud

Seeking apartment takeover

West Houston, Copperfield area 77084

I’m not gonna make December’s rent so I need to be out by November 30. I don’t have 2 months’ rent to avoid a broken lease but I do have one other option: if someone else takes over the lease then we’re all set.

876 sqft 1/1 with a “flex room” (den) that could easily become a second bedroom.

Security deposit has already been paid.

BIG bedroom with huge walk-in closet. Decent closet in flex room.

Garden tub. Single sink & big closet in bathroom with doors to hallway & bedroom.

Oven with electric range, microwave, fridge+freezer, pantry, deep double sink, top & bottom cabinets, great A/C + heat, ceiling lights & fans in each room, cathedral ceiling in living room.

All carpet except laminate entryway, kitchen, & bath.

Valet trash Sun-Thurs.

Gated parking, no assigned spots or fees.

Cable ready with fiber optic (services AT&T, Xfinity, possibly others).

Large-slat wood blinds, not those cheap flimsy metal ones.

Super close to the parking gate.

Management lives on premises. They’re awesome.

There’s an on-site gym for $20/mo; if you want that you’re on your own.

Pet friendly.

Full size W/D hookup in a laundry “room” on covered balcony.

Apartment being leased AS IS. I’ll take care of the cleanup, but it’s not gonna have brand new carpet. Apartment has NOT been smoked in, but (well-tended) cats have lived here, so I don’t recommend this for anyone with a cat allergy.

Website for online rent payment.

Rent is $975/mo.

Current lease is up in April. Renew or bail at that point, it’s up to you.

Here’s the floor plan (my unit is flipped horizontally from this image and there is no door from the hallway to flex room):

Requirements:

$50 application fee.

3 most recent pay stubs proving you GROSS at least 3x rent ($2925/mo, or $18.21/hr assuming 40 hrs/wk).

Ability to move in Dec 1st or ASAP.

As mentioned, no security deposit required!

Joint applications are fine.

Please PM me if you’re interested or know anyone who may be interested.

It’s a minor pet peeve, but it is everywhere today so errrr…. please keep in mind that “Rest in Peace”/RIP literally comes from a latin phrase and is a very very deeply Christian expression.

When talking about the departed, Jews say “may their memory be a blessing.”

So please, when talking about a dead person who is Jewish, try to keep in mind that RIP is a Christian phrase.

Representation matters

BILL NYE can’t stress the importance of Climate Change enough

Most of the “keep up the work after the protests have ended!”-type posts I’ve seen are mostly focused on like, reading Black authors and listening to Black voices and unlearning racism, and obviously all of that is absolutely vital - but no amount of individual self-reflection will be able to dismantle institutional systems of oppression. So I wanted to put together some resources for continuing to build a culture of noncompliance and resistance to the police and prison system even after things have calmed down

But first, be aware that the protests aren’t over. It’s June 29th and there are still events and actions being planned regularly across the nation, and they still need your participation and support. If you’re able, please keep your focus there; this list is for what can be done long-term outside of the protests

Know your rights. Giving the police any more information than you absolutely have to will never and can never benefit you or anyone else - positive evidence given to the police is regularly thrown out in court, whereas negative evidence will be used against you. Know what to say and what you have the right to refuse. You don’t have to answer any questions without a lawyer present, you don’t have to give the police access to your house or car unless they have a current warrant signed by a judge. They will try to intimidate you - learn your rights and don’t let up, don’t ever cooperate with the police

Don’t snitch. If you see someone breaking the law in a way that doesn’t hurt anybody, keep your mouth shut. If cops knock on your door asking you questions about your neighbors or anyone you know, don’t answer

Don’t call the cops. If you can solve the problem in a different way, do it. Cops have on multiple occasions murdered the people they were called to help (or bystanders) without provocation. Don’t be complicit in that. Learn how to handle situations as a community or with the help of qualified experts

When you see an interaction with the police happening, stop and observe. If necessary, film the interaction. Organize and work with groups such as Copwatch to observe the police and hold them accountable

Use proper opsec, especially if you’re involved with anything that might make you a target for the cops. Downloading Signal is a great simple place to start

Learn about jury nullification, and spread the word. When serving in a jury, you have the right to vote not guilty on a defendant that you believe did commit the crime but doesn’t deserve punishment for it. Don’t be complicit in unjust punishment

Refuse to do work for the police or prison system. Workers keep the world running and the state relies on our compliance to keep our neighbors under their thumb. We can shut it down

Continue to support bail funds, even for non-protesters. Cash bail is unjust, and people shouldn’t be in jail just because they can’t pay

Continue to support legal defense funds as well, such as that of the National Lawyers Guild

Write to prisoners, either by yourself or with groups such as the Anarchist Black Cross or Black And Pink, and organize/support books to prisons programs, commissary funds, reentry programs, and other forms of prisoner support

Organize and support community-run crisis response organizations like the CAHOOTS program in Eugene, Oregon or the Birmingham Peacemakers in my hometown

Here are some other organizations to join that are doing good work in this area:

Black Lives Matter is obviously a huge voice in racial justice right now. The list of “official” chapters on their website is very incomplete, though, so you may have better luck doing a web search for “[your area] black lives matter” (beware of fakes though)

Showing Up for Racial Justice is another very active and widespread racial justice network

Critical Resistance is a grassroots prison abolitionist organization founded by Angela Davis

The Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement is another active prison abolitionist organization

The IWW’s Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee works with prisoners to organize strikes, phone zaps, and other actions combating injustice in prisons

Again, the Anarchist Black Cross does great work supporting political prisoners through letter-writing and more. The link I’ve been including is to an unofficial federation of ABC groups, though - there may be a group in your area that’s not part of that federation, so a web search for “[your area] black cross” may be better

Black And Pink is a prison abolitionist organization focused on queer people and people living with HIV/AIDS

Antifascism is of course an important aspect of racial justice and community safety. See @antifainternational‘s guide to getting connected to your local antifascists - though, again, beware of fakes (the “antifa checker” accounts on fedbook and twitter can help)

The police state and prison industrial complex rely on the complicity and cooperation of all of us to function and be effective. By building a culture of noncompliance and active resistance, we can drastically reduce the state’s ability to oppress communities of color. Don’t let the struggle be forgotten with the changing of the news cycle - keep up the struggle until all are free!

Boosts and additional resources are very much appreciated!

Just know you’re not alone.
