Death toll in Haiti has rises to 842, why on earth isn’t there more outrage on this? Where’s your facebook flag filters now that Haitians are dying in their hundreds? Or is mourning really just a privilege which remains for those who live in the west and are white?

Civil rights attorney John Walker says he has been bearing witness to the unfair treatment of African-Americans by police since the 1960s. But on Sept. 26, Walker’s decision to watch an arrest in progress in Little Rock, Arkansas, didn’t just annoy the on-scene officers — it got him, and an attorney from his law firm, arrested. The worst part: It was deja vu.

Hurricane Matthew made landfall near Les Anglais, Haiti, at 7 a.m. this morning, pelting the small island nation — still recovering from a devastating 7.0 earthquake in 2010 — with rain and wind that could lead to “life-threatening” conditions.

Update: Hurricane Matthew may be on a steady path towards the east cost of the U.S. — and its effects be felt all the way up the Eastern Seaboard

BRUH. Y'all really gotta pray for Haiti because even when there are minor hurricanes that pass over the country, people die in the THOUSANDS. This is a major hurricane, it’s estimated that tens of thousands of people are going to die. There is never any adequate evacuation exercises because no money and no transport so people have nowhere to go and just stay where they are. They STAY having mudslides because of deforestation. Most people who live in shanty towns have houses that cannot stand hurricane force winds.

Like guys, this hurricane will be devastating to Haiti. Also, I live in The Bahamas and half of the islands are STILL recovering from hurricane Joaquin from last year (which had similar conditions to Matthew). Most of the islands, esp New Providence (which is the island where the capital is and houses about 2/3 of the population) are very low lying and has so many areas that flood so easily. So you can imagine a category 4 hurricane coming thru. Like this storm might devastate us.

Guys, please keep your eyes open for when organizations ask for donations to go towards hurricane relief because Haiti, The Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Cuba and the DR are going to need every cent.

tbh I’d love a horror-comedy about a retail worker accidentally becoming a ghost/demon hunter because they’re just so unfazed by difficult and weird and bellicose customers that evil entities aren’t much more of a challenge.

“sir or ma'am or neuter, I’m going to have to ask you to stop crawling on the ceiling, you’re disturbing the other residents”

“please leave this place before I call the exorcist to remove you from the premises”

“company policy forbids me from accepting power from customers in exchange for my soul or firstborn child”

“sir, if you keep speaking to me like that, I’m going to have to end this spirit board conversation. have a good day, goodbye”

the walls start weeping blood. our hero gives a long-suffering sigh, walks away, comes back with a wheelie mop bucket and biohazard gloves. hey, it’s better than bathrooms on the overnight shift, at least blood’s not smelly when it’s fresh.

After facing Karen of the Many Coupons and Screaming Children, Asgortoh the Reaper of the Damned is no contest.

This movie was so important

This is one of the only “white savior” movies that matter because they didnt silence the stories of the kids of color. They kept it real and in doing so kept it realatable.

this movie is superb
