HERE IS WHAT'S HAPPENING IN SOUTH AFRICA.

How did it start?

The protests erupted after Jacob Zuma, the former President of South Africa turned himself to the police.

The former president had to serve a jail sentence due to contempt of court.

Zuma had refused to appear before a panel.

The Constitutional Court of South Africa, the apex court of the country, sentenced Zuma to 15-months in prison for refusing to appear before the inquiry panel and contempt of court on June 29.

Zuma is additionally facing 16 charges of fraud, graft and racketeering. 

Zuma was not immediately arrested and tried to delay his arrest but on July 8, the former president and Apartheid activist turned himself in. 

His loyal supporters, especially from his home province of KwaZulu-Natal threatened to form human barricades to stop the police from arresting him.

Zuma supporters took to the street to protest in large numbers.

the protests soon expanded from the arrest of the former president to widespread agitation against poverty levels and record levels of unemployment.

South African military has deployed over 1000 troops to tackle the riot as the police forces are strained.

What's happening?

KwaZulu Natal and areas of Gauteng have been turned into literal war zones, with the police and SANDF going head-to-head with thousands of looters and criminals.

1,234 people have been arrested so far, and they will also be facing additional charges related to the Disaster Management Act and breaking lockdown rules.

medical supplies and emergency services also impacted due to routes being blocked.

The death toll climbed to 72 from rioting in South Africa.

many people trampled to death during looting at stores, as police and the military fired stun grenades and rubber bullets to try to halt the unrest set off by the imprisonment last week of former President Jacob Zuma.

Please amplify. Lives have been lost. The situation in South Africa isn't any better. It is filled with chaos, bloodshed and violence. Innocent people are losing lives. Decrease in employment. There is poverty and the medical situation has also worsened. Roads and streets are blocked. Shops are being looted. There are terrorist organizations that are further fueling the situation in South Africa. Don't be a silent spectator. The least we can do is use our priviledge and share. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

the uk government is trying to scrap the human rights act.

i’ve not seen a lot in the media about this so i’m going to do my best to put this into words and explain what will happen if the government is successful in replacing the human rights act with the bill of rights (aka the rights removal bill).

this will mean that in the uk:

you won’t be allowed to say anything negative about the government

if you are disabled or chronically ill, you won’t be allowed to say no to being given a DNR in hospital

you won’t be allowed to bring ‘trivial’ human rights violations to court

public authorities (the police) won’t have to actively protect people’s human rights

the uk military will be allowed to basically do whatever they want overseas

if you ever commit a crime, they can disregard your human rights

the government will not be obligated to obey human rights

if you are from the uk PLEASE sign this petition, and also to everyone else, please please please share this.

Friendly reminder that fan-made content (fanart, fanfic, fanvids, etc) are:

extremely time consuming. Remember someone actually took time out of their life to create that, time they could’ve used to, idk, sleep, for example

entertainment you’re consuming for free. I can’t stress this enough: you’re enjoying someone else’s craft for free. You paid exactly zero money to look at/read/watch it.

S H A R E D  with you, not made for you. This is the most important point: someone created that, put it online and you found it. No one forced you to consume that fanwork, you C H O S E  to do it. 

Whenever you feel like leaving a mean comment, anonymous hate or make a ~clever post about how ‘lol look at all of these overused tropes every fic writer crams into their fics’ remember you’re being a dick to someone who shared their work with you. You’re not being funny, you’re not being edgy, you’re not being brave for calling something out - you’re being a dick.

Sorry for the recent reblogs guys but I feel there very important since of what happend a few days ago. I will start writing again and open request after I finish school that ends in 1 week. I hope you guys understand.

SIGNAL BOOST TO ‘SHERLOCK’ CONTENT CREATORS

Hello everyone!

FYI, there is someone tracking the 'sherlock' and 'holmes' tags (perhaps more tags are affected, but these are the ones that we are aware of). That someone targets people who create new posts in these tags - be it text posts, gifsets or edits - and use this copypasta template in order to send anonymous hate and unsolicited accusations to the content creators (either that, or all of us hacked their computer, Microsoft word and private Tumblr in unison and stole all of their private work without crediting it. Also, let’s pretend that the incorrect quote in this case is not a public joke and that none of the sources has been stated :D). 

Below you can find a couple of examples - everyone involved has been very kind and agreed for these to be shared in here as a warning to others:   1. @winter2112rose was attacked in this nasty post:

2. @high-functioning-lokipath was sent this nasty message (does the template look familiar? Hmmmm):

3. We're not finished yet - @donaldtheduckdad received this anonymous ask, and I wonder, did I see those words used somewhere before?

4. One more example to share is this message sent to @married-to-google-translater. Again, does the template look familiar?

These are only a few examples of creators that have been inappropriately targeted and accused by this person / or a group of people that have obviously too much time on their hands.

If you do get a message similar to these, save your energy. Do not try to engage in a conversation with a bully - be kind to yourself, you deserve it! Ignore this kind of message altogether (you can also report it if you feel like it), but do not let it discourage you from doing the amazing and original work that you are doing. You are awesome and the fandom loves you!
