There was a shooting in the UK last night, the first once for a pretty long time - five people were shot dead, including a five year old girl, before the shooter turned the gun on himself.
The BBC is trying so hard to turn this into a discussion about the shooter's mental health. I already knew the BBC was a shit show but this genuinely disgusts me. The shooter was a white man in his early 20s and a self identified incel. If the shooter was a person of colour, no one would be making excuses for them and you can guarantee this would be called an act of terrorism, but because the shooter is white, every news outlet is acting as if he's some poor victim who shouldn't be held accountable for his actions.
He murdered innocent people. He murdered a child.
The white privilege and bias in the media isn't surprising, but it's still absolutely disgusting. Fuck the BBC and every other news site for trying to make people pity a literal murderer. Even if he did have mental health issues, that isn't a fucking excuse to kill people. Stop shielding him from his actions just because he's white.

it's honestly so bizarre to be told by your government, employers and educators that you are in mourning. "britain has been so shaken by this profound loss that everything has been put at a standstill" is just being blared on every tv station in the vain hope of making it come true. she was ninety fucking six!
Okay, look. I really don’t care about your opinion of Captain Marvel’s quality of acting or plot or special effects.
I care about the little girl who I saw in the theater today, dressed in a Captain Marvel costume, transfixed by the woman on the big screen, who cheered when Carol unlocked her full powers, and ran around the theater during the credits, pretending to be fighting Kree.
That’s why the movie was made. That’s why.
the British Museum to return all the pieces they stole to their respective countries of origin that are asking to get them back
I am so glad that we’ve managed to learn absolutely nothing from this whole experience, guys. Stay classy, England.
one thing you can start doing from today is extending grace to palestinians you know, speaking up for pro-palestine allies, challenging the repression and islamophobia we are seeing because the information blackout is not incidental. it is central to israeli and american strategy. they are killing palestinians in the dark, but they are also preventing you from humanizing, empathizing and crying for the palestinian lives lost. it is incumbent upon you, as a bystander, to put aside any kind of discomfort you feel and talk about the genocide, center palestinian voices, center palestinian suffering, make it normal and expected for people to condemn the zionist state in daily life instead of being fired, doxxed, jailed or murdered for it. its minimal effort but maximum impact. speak up. speak up. if they're forcing us to watch a genocide, then we'll force them to acknowledge it
