JIMIN’S BIRTHDAY EVENT
D-5: music → serendipity, promise, & filter
— to jungkook who wears his heart on his sleeves, who selflessly loves and gives so much, who thinks about ARMYs every joyful moment; to bangtan’s golden maknae, our forever singer and our september miracle, happiest birthday to you! 💜
Most of the “keep up the work after the protests have ended!”-type posts I’ve seen are mostly focused on like, reading Black authors and listening to Black voices and unlearning racism, and obviously all of that is absolutely vital - but no amount of individual self-reflection will be able to dismantle institutional systems of oppression. So I wanted to put together some resources for continuing to build a culture of noncompliance and resistance to the police and prison system even after things have calmed down
Here are some other organizations to join that are doing good work in this area:
The police state and prison industrial complex rely on the complicity and cooperation of all of us to function and be effective. By building a culture of noncompliance and active resistance, we can drastically reduce the state’s ability to oppress communities of color. Don’t let the struggle be forgotten with the changing of the news cycle - keep up the struggle until all are free!
As many of you may know there have recently been numerous protests going on in several states around America. The protests were triggered by the murder of George Floyd, a black man, at the hands of a white police officer.
Black Lives Matter is an international human rights movement specifically fighting against systematic racial discrimination from police and other military, and striving for justice for all black lives which have been taken or negatively changed due to America’s law enforcement. This is a problem everywhere but right now American protestors need support.
To support the Black Lives Matter movement including the protests currently undergoing in America and all over the world, please take the time to read through this carrd which links things you can do to help such as petitions, donations and spreading information.
If you’re able to, you can also donate to various freedom funds to bail out protesters:
If you or someone you know are involved in the protests then please look after yourselves! Cover your face and try not to reveal your identity.
For people who want to share media covering the protests, please be careful that the protesters’ faces or identifying features are hidden, so as they don’t get recognised by law enforcement.
Please continue to check back on this carrd as it is constantly being updated with more ways everyone can provide support!

hi, all.. i know that a lot of our focus is on the BlackLivesMatter movement atm (which is wonderful and should’ve happened a long time ago), and i hate to distract you from that, but there’s something horrible happening in my country, the Philippines (yes, the one being lead by the so-called Filipino version of Donald Trump), right now.
our national government has passed a bill that’ll essentially take away our constitutional rights to freedom of speech and fair trial. it’s called the Anti-Terrorism Bill, but we’ve dubbed it Terror Bill. here’s a summary of what it entails:
if you want to read the actual bill in its entirety, here’s a link to the official Senate of the Philippines website, where you can download a pdf copy. i’d like you to keep in mind the political climate in our country, though, and just how rampant corruption and police brutality are here.
it has already been passed by the Senate; all it needs is the House of Representatives’ approval, and it will be enforced. if you want to help stop this from happening, here are a few ways:
these posters were made and posted by @tentenyukki on twitter.
your help could save the lives of millions of Filipinos, and we’d really, really appreciate it. i don’t usually ask for much, but when it comes to urgent issues like this, i can’t stay silent. unlike with BLM, i can speak my truth about this because i know personally what it’s like to be a Filipino citizen and to live in the Philippines. i hope it’s heard, and we keep an ounce of what little dignity we have as a “sovereign” country and rights as a “sovereign” people.
some of you might unfollow or get mad because this isn’t strictly studyblr content, but it’s not about aesthetic right now. i need your help. we need to hurry.
thank you for taking time to read! let’s uphold human rights together. #JunkTerrorBillNow!
hey! in the midst of all this, spreading this information could potentially save LOTS of folks out there in protest! it costs Absolutely NOTHING to share. the original thread is on Twitter by strwbrrymew. the link to the thread is here, it contains more important information to note, including a video about how to do a proper eye flush should someone be teargassed.
Everyone please look after yourselves today and the days coming
happy birthday to the one whose snacks-filled pockets are just as large as his heart ♡
