Gerard Mas makes sculptures of Renaissance women with a modern twist - Recently exhibited in Bruges. Medieval girls with attitude! 

man the crazy thing about babies is that like, some people would think that reading a baby a book about farm animals is teaching them about farm animals, but really it’s teaching them about the concept of a book and how there’s new information on each page of a single object, but really, beyond that, it’s teaching them how language works, and beyond that it’s really actually teaching them about human interaction, and really really it’s them learning about existing in a three-dimensional space and how they can navigate that space, but actually, above all it is teaching them that mama loves them.

A friend sent this picture to me, said it was from the Woman’s March in Albany.

This is my favorite sign.

Fave tweets from week 2 of quarantine:

Take this with you

to all my white followers who stew in unnecessary guilt trying to come to terms with the privilege you have, watch this

Security at the airport is at the highest standard, until you reach the baggage claim where you can take whosever luggage.

Great way to spend a 10 minute break in Roy Wa. Homeowner was generous with sharing her pups.

The US government is taking advantage of the Black Lives Matter media coverage to try and pass more government surveillance. Please sign the petition and share with friends. Call you state representatives and tell them you do not support this bill.

They are voting on this bill this week. Please sign the petition, reblog, and call your state representatives. This is bad for everyone but it’s especially bad for POC.

The bill literally gives the police the power to look at your messages. If you don’t think they will use that power to target individuals affiliated with Black Lives Matter, you’re wrong. The bill is getting little to no media coverage. Please spead the word. The Senate votes on the Earn It Act this Thursday July 2nd. We have to do something about this now.

Reblog in the tags with your Astrology sign and if you’re a dog or a cat person. It’s for science.

Self-defense? He’s 6 years old ffs…I can’t

More infuriating info:

The boy is autistic

The boy and his father were in a truck

The father stopped the vehicle and raised his arms to show he was unarmed

ONE OF THE ARRESTED OFFICERS WAS ACTIVELY STALKING THE FATHER’S FIANCE

They are trying to claim self defense AND claim they didn’t know there was a child in the truck

They fired “no less than 18 rounds” into the truck

The father was hit but still alive. The boy ended up being shot in the head multiple times.

There is bodycam footage of the incident and every official/lawyer that has seen and spoken on it has called it horrific.

50% of all police violence victims are autistic or mentally ill. If an autistic person starts screaming or can’t look a cop in the eyes, they use that as an excuse to shoot. I hope Black Lives Matter starts talking about that, too.

Police violence hurts the mentally ill a lot and of course that also means black autistic / mentally ill kids are getting hurt and killed. Ableism is deadly.
