*You don’t need to donate to change.org, donate directly to the families. Also if there’s a problem with a petition (or you have a petition I should add), please dm me instead of reblogging so I can fix it faster.*
In the last four days, a lot of you might have seen the video of Mr. Philip Banks catching a baby boy that was thrown out of a burning building - the baby was saved by both him and the mother who sacrificed herself to help save her kids. In the video, you can hear neighbors pleading with her to jump down herself, but she didn't. She was completely engulfed in flames by the time she went back in to try and save her daughter. There are two heroes in this story, and both of them are angels, one in Heaven now, and the other here on Earth.
Both of the children made it, but sadly it was too late for Mrs. Rachel Long. She leaves behind a little girl that will need more surgeries to start her recovery, a baby boy that is getting better but is extremely traumatized, and a husband who is now heartbroken and left homeless with their two children.
I implore you, if you cannot donate yourselves, I completely understand, but please at least share the donation link, that helps too!
Mr. Phillip Banks is a true hero. The way he sprinted to catch the little boy, throwing himself with everything he got to save him - without a doubt, the boy would have been severely more injured or gone if it wasn't for him.
Rachel Long, rest in peace.
Why are you defending embarrassing behavior? Cringe culture isn’t perfect, but it’s why we don’t have to put up with SuperWhoLocks anymore. There’s way less annoying people because shaming helps people give up bad/cringy behaviors.
i would absolutely rather be mildly annoyed by happy people enjoying stuff im not into than miserable people who feel embarrassed about everything they do. ill take a million superwholock kids any day over 1 weirdo adult who enjoys making people feel bad
Okay, I am VERY HAPPY!
There is love in the world. Keep fighting for it.
please reblog this post, especially if you live outside of the philippines. please help us.
i didn't make the carrd, but it's one of the most useful links right now. #JunkTerrorBillNow needs the most urgency, but there are other issues present too.
i'm begging you all to reblog.

idk about y’all but I think it’s pretty terrifying having to personally hear bisexuals in offline spaces express being practically shamed out of openly identifying as bisexual because they’ve internalized the belief that bisexuality is not inclusive of trans/nb ppl and if that doesn’t hit home for you how dangerous misinformation and ahistorical takes are in the current state of LGBT activism then I honestly don’t have much else to say.
Hey guys, this posting here is very different then what I normally post on here. I haven’t been really seeing any talk in the Hetalia fandom of what’s been happening in the US though I am sure many of you know.
The BLM movment has been directing so many positive changes that should have been made long ago, and has made changes as well in state governments. Please stay knowledgeable of what’s going on and please take time to just sign petitions, donate, attend protests (if able to), spread awareness, and speak up.
Your voice is a powerful tool to make change happen.
Amidst the national uprising for racial justice, ’Hamilton’ star Daveed Diggs and a collective of Black artists created this evocative video inspired by Frederick Douglass’ ‘What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?’
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Who knows about Sally Hemings?
She was Thomas Jefferson's slave.
Called his "mistress," but how can you be a mistress when you were a slave, a child, and could not consent? Had absolutely no choice?
She bore him 6, perhaps as many as 8 children. He kept her locked in a basement room.
The room was recently unearthed, and DNA evidence has proven the lineage of Sally's children.
She was beteeen 12 and 14 years old when he started raping her, and Jefferson was in his forties. He freed the children that he had with her, but not Sally. Her daughter had to free her mother after Jefferson passed away.
This is not taught in schools. This side of history. We are supposed to consider the founding fathers as great men, fighting for justice and freedom, guided by God... when they are evil men. Selfish men who did nothing, save that it was for their own aggrandisement, personal benefit, and financial gain.
I would also like to add that Sally was Jefferson's dead wife's half sister. Sally's mother was raped by her owner, who was Martha (wife of Thomas) Jefferson's father.
These people left a legacy.
A legacy of entitlement under the most criminal of circumstances, and White Supremacist beliefs which pervade U.S. Society and Culture, to this very day.
I haven't heard of this person before but an artist helps a fellow artist even if rebloging is the only thing I can do (I have no money...)
Hello everyone!
Posting this because it’s absolutely disgusting and I can’t find anyone talking about it!
Australians have been protesting against indigenous deaths in custody and for black lives matter for ages now with no change and the police responding by inciting violence against protestors.
I went to the first BLM protest held in Adelaide after the murder of George Floyd, at that point there had been 432 Indigenous Deaths in custody, that was only a few weeks ago and the number has risen to 438. There has NEVER been a single conviction.
This is how the South Australian government have chosen to respond, further weaponising and militarising the police force. They know it’s wrong, they know it’s against the needs of the people’s, they don’t care - it’s clear their priority Is control.
PLEASE raise some noise about this, I know it’s hard, there seems to be something new we have to raise awareness about every hour but australian issues and even more so anywhere that’s not Sydney or maybe Melbourne there isn’t any media attention except MAYBE local papers/stations. This is going to endanger the lives of indigenous people in Adelaide, this is going to kill them.
I go into the city everyday for school and work, I can already tell you the way the police treat the indigenous peoples, homeless, substance users, and anyone who is vulnerable there is horrific, I can’t imagine the level of risk this is now imposing by adding these ridiculously unnecessary weapons. The majority of our crime is related to substance disorders (meth captial of the world), homelessness, mental health crises and theft - these aren’t issues the police solve! These are issues the police aggravate and escalate.
I’m sorry if this isn’t the most coherent post but my blood is boiling, as someone who knows exactly how the vulnerable are treated by police in Adelaide and especially the CBD this is extremely concerning.
Please share around, make some noise, this is not okay. Silence has lethal consequences.

name one native american intellectual off the top of your head, name one native american actor or actress off the top of your head, name one native american senator, one native american news anchor, or an author or a tv personality or a singer or a poet or a comedian, name a single native american teacher you’ve had, can you? probably not
ok so now think of one native american cartoon character you know of or a sports team relating to native americans whether it’s their actual name or their team logo, or a town you live in or near with a “native” name bet a lot of these things came to you right away i bet you didn’t even have to think
needing native representation in media, education and government are not decoy issues, the commercialization and appropriation of native cultures are not decoy issues, the lack of native representation is institutional oppression at work

What’s the difference between a police officer and a bullet?
When a bullet kills someone else, you know it’s been fired
Me after hearing my dad say he's going shopping: Did Papa go out?
one of my favorite human quirks is when the power goes out and you’re w other ppl and inevitably someone says ‘did the power go out?’ like...you’re all sitting there in the dead dark, tv black, wifi gone, lights OUT but still they’re like ‘hm. well I have a theory but it needs to be submitted for peer-review’
May you not run into assholes that say "is it that time of month?" to tease you
May your next period be light and end quickly

26-year-old Jamarion Robinson’s grandmother Beverly Nixon said her grandson was bipolar and schizophrenic. Still got shot 76 (!!!) times. Would a white person get the same treatment?
The witness said he saw more than a dozen patrol cars at the complex where US Marshals killed Robinson on August 5, 2016. Why were there no behavioral specialist? Surely one of them would know how to interact with a bipolar schizophrenic better than the police.
I’m absolutely disgusted.
Here’s Jamarion’s mother’s GoFundMe in case anyone is willing to help.
What you as a non-black person shouldn’t be saying (this includes non-black poc):

ratchet (don’t be a smartass, the adjective not the object)
werk
yas
habitual “be” (i.e. they be killin it, he be walkin, bitches be like, etc.)
the thirst/thirsty
anything being “real” (i.e. the struggle is real, the thirst is real, etc.)
the struggle
on point (i.e. outfit is on point)
chill (as in got no chill)
side-eye
stank face

-had me like
trippin’

finna (i.e. I’m finna do xyz)
tho/doe
reading/read
school/schooling
dope

y’all
dig/dig it/ya dig/you dig
respect (i.e. respect man)
about that/here for that (i.e. I’m not about that life, I’m here for this)
tight (i.e. this shit got me tight)
giving life (i.e. Beyonce gives me life, black tumblr giving me life)
swag
goin’ through it
Things to avoid in general because they are offensive and/or mock black culture:
Sassy (NO YOU DO NOT HAVE A SASSY BLACK WOMAN LIVING INSIDE OF YOU. STOP. LOOKIN AT YOU WHITE GAY COMMUNITY).
Do not call black hair kinky or nappy. (Don’t touch it either).
Do not call things ghetto. Just don’t.
Don’t use the word thug in relation to black men.
Do not assume black people are ignorant just because they don’t speak the same dialect of English as you do.
Don’t make fun of black names.
If you use the n-word, I have no sympathy for you. Good fucking luck.
