the horse really is in the hospital now

Ok, omg, this is amazing

I am asking once again for a link to a drive for the PDFs of the Warriors series, because my link is in the trash (quite literally, that’s what it says when I go to it). Or at least a place where I could download them? Either way, it’d be appreciated.

Fellas, if your girl is in an airy frock wielding a flaming sword, has far too many eyes, rings surrounding her while she screams "FEAR NOT",

That's not your girl.

That's a biblically accurate angel.

Defiance: a daring and bold resistance

Your hair defies gravity

Climbing toward the sky

Yearning to meet the clouds

From whence you came

Your skin defies the rays of the sun

Absorbing its light

Warm golds

Deep blues

Rich browns

Containing stardust

Your smile defies the system

It was built to uphold a standard

That oppressed your soul

Stomping you into the core of the earth

And yet you find joy

In a dance

Or in a song

Your softness defies all belief

Fighting against the stereotypes

Of strength that withstands all abuse

Of being undeserving of love and tenderness

You defy all lies

There's beauty in your defiance

Never forget that

I see people trying to justify the officer’s actions relating to George Floyd’s murder following the recent bodycam footage. Firstly, resisting arrest is not grounds for murder. There have been many white criminals who have resisted arrest and were dealt with peacefully.

Secondly, George Floyd clearly had trauma from previous police interactions, saying that he got shot once by them. He says this in the face of a gun being directed at him in the beginning of the footage when he had not yet resisted. The gun was not put away. Later he says that he fears being shot and getting COVID (presumably in prison), neither of these fears were assuaged. Instead the police are forceful and verbally aggressive with him (swearing at him multiple times).

Thirdly, he was clearly panicking and the cops did nothing to deescalate. This is why people are saying defund the police because a mental health professional would have done much more good. Or at least train police to deal with people with mental illness or those who panic during arrests. 6 months of training is not enough.

Fourthly, Floyd said that he needed 3 seconds to catch his breath before going into the vehicle. He was not granted those 3 seconds.

Finally, he was restrained. I see people saying that the drugs in his system were a factor in him being unable to breath. Even if that was the case. ANYONE who’s neck is being KNELT ON for 8 MINUTES is going to die. 8 minutes of lack of oxygen is enough to strangle a perfectly healthy man.

Even if he was violent, which he was not, he did not deserve to die. He did not deserve to die for having drugs in his system, he did not deserve to die for using counterfeit bills, he did not deserve to die for panicking and resisting arrest. George Floyd should still be alive, the officers involved in his murder should be convicted and the police should be held accountable and defunded in favour of investing in poorer neighbourhoods, education, drug treatment programs and mental health services.
