George Floyd.
Killed by Minneapolis Police Department recently. Suffocated and murdered. A grocery stores called the police when they thought he was writing a bad check. This man had his knee on george’s neck for 10 minutes. Cutting off his airway. Took his life and treated him as nothing while putting his on a stretcher. They watched him DIE.
THIS IS AMERICA.

ICE made a decision to order all international students whose universities are online to leave the country or risk facing immigration consequences and getting deported which essentially means that students will have to decide between leaving the US or risk their health. many countries don’t even have their borders open and some people may not even have places to go so please sign this petition which requests that international students get the option to finish their degrees and remain in the USA

Like, you can go on tumblr and simply read stuff in your mother tongue? Amazing. Go on youtube and you don’t have to replay some sentences ten times to try to understand what they’re saying? Incredible. Look for practically anything on google and know that there will be a fuckton of results that you can read without having to spend half the time looking up words in a dictionary? Fascinating. Make a post or send an ask without panicking that you’ll make a silly mistake or that they won’t understand what you meant? Unbelievable.
able-bodied neurodivergents i want y'all to wholesale stop using physical conditions as a metaphor for neurodivergence whether it's "wouldn't it be ridiculous if this physical condition was treated like this mental condition?" (hint: it is) or not. there's no acceptable way to do this so just stop it.

i’ve been saying this to myself this morning and i’m going to say it to you in case you need to hear it: you are not here to be physically attractive. that is not your purpose. you are here to learn new things and be kind to people and listen to your favorite music and pet cute dogs and read big books and drink good coffee. you are here to see beauty in the world and create it when you can’t find any. you are not here to impress people with how you look.
