In fact, this blog is pro non-binary too!
This blog is PRO-TRANS and when I say pro-trans I MEAN PRO-TRANS WOMAN,PRO-TRANS MAN,AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN
Hi if you’re exclusionist please kindly fuck off
wow!!!! fuck terfs
any mention of black lives matter has disappeared off my dashboard so i thought y'all might want to know that police stormed a peaceful vigil in memory of elijah mcclain, attacking mourners with pepper spray. families were there. children were affected. this movement isnt over just because it's no longer trendy.
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.
also bring an extra face mask to swap if yours starts to get irritating during chemical instigation from police!
It has come to my attention that, people tried to identify “Tank” and there was a rumor about him being taken by the cops.
Pleease, PLEASE. for the love of anything you might believe in. Make it a priority to keep these men (and woman) ANONYMOUS.
At this point it doesn’t matter if they’re POC or white or anything, they could get into serious trouble for the stir they’ve been causing within the movement. You actually think the police or even the fucking government would be like “Oh cosplayers leave them alone” NO. Anyone who attends these protests are at risk guys!
Spread this message. Don’t try to identify them or anything. Leave them be, if for some chance you may see them leaving, don’t follow them and try to get a look at their faces. Let’s keep it as an anonymous thing. Several writers and artists I have seen, have made their own version of what they think or imagine them to look like. Keep it at that. Keep it at a mystery that stands with us in this time. So for the last time
For The Masses:

THIS RIGHT HERE
You guys are dangerously close to realizing specifically what kinds of people they keep from voting and why.
Oh and we have privatized prisons which allow companies to actually make money off of keeping people incarcerated
Here’s what’s really perverse: prisoners, who cannot vote, still get counted in the U.S. Census. The more prisoners a county has, the more representation it gets, even though the prisoners cannot vote. See how that works? The more black and brown people they lock up, the more government resources and political representation they get. Even though those prisoners have no say and cannot vote.
If county-A has a population of 50 voters but no prisons, and county-B has a population of 50 voters and 50 prisoners, the county with the prisoners gets more government funding and more political represention. This is sometimes called “prison gerrymandering” and it is used in redistrictring.
Not so fun Fact: Southern states that reliably vote for Republicans also have the highest prison population in the United States. (source). So mass incarceration is a double whammy. It’s both a form of voter suppression and a tool to strengthen white people’s political power.
This is why we need abolition, not reform.
Mood.
pick a side, pick a side ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾
I honestly get the point of sharing this on Twitter, but it’s pretty shitty to completely gloss over the fact that sex work is STILL the most dangerous occupation, but it doesn’t get counted in the same way that loggers, fishermen, truck drivers etc. do. because our occupations aren’t viewed with the same amount of respect and validity.
As a matter of fact, I just checked statistics from the past 20 years- loggers have 73 deaths per 100,000, meanwhile sex workers experience around 204.
Literally over double. And they’re not even mentioned here.
The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.
I have never before heard of Everett True, but if he “regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude,” I have a strong spiritual connection with him.
I fucking love him
i can imagine this guy’s voice very clearly in my head but i couldn’t put a name to it
He also jabs racists in the eye!
I love the justice grandpa of fists
I’m very lucky to own a book that’s a collection of most of these comics (sadly not all of them) and would highly recommend hunting these down if you can. Sorry for the lack of a scanner but phone photos will just have to do.
He was a enjoyable cuss who didn’t care for war mongering.
Especially profitable war mongering and excuses for it!
He certainly didn’t like selfish husbands and fathers!
Politicians who turned on their words once they got theirs weren’t safe.
He said fuck the police!
He absolutely didn’t like people ruining little things for kids.
He stood up for foreigners. Especially those doing their best to communicate with limited second language knowledge.
He was not having any tomfoolery when it came to gun safety and laws. Especially with youth involved.
You had better not abuse a animal with him nearby. He’d right that wrong real quick!
And best of all him and his wife were both prickly cusses together. Relationship goals.
I have a new role model
It’s nice to see a fat dude in a political cartoon that’s NOT being used as shorthand for greed and corruption.
also this needs to be said, but if you’re nonblack and you are co-opting off of the blm movement but you are shit to black people in real life, fandom, online, etc., then you are still anti-black. i say this in light of the fact that there are some people who have histories of ignoring black people and being anti-black, but when it comes to making themselves look like they care and good people, they’ll re-share hashtags, protest, posts stuff, boost voices of black activists, and that’s good and all. but if in your current life/situation you invalidate racism black people face in their lives (whether it be irl, fandom, social media, ETC.), or go out of your way to ignore or make their lives difficult, then you are still antiblack and your activism is performative. black lives matter and that includes respecting black people who call out your racism. if you’ve ever partaken in invalidating or ignoring a black person’s claim or accusations of racism, and you haven’t made amends or you’ve been called out for racism by a black person, or invalidated a black persons experience of racism (again, irl, social media, fandom, etc.) then you are still antiblack and you need to start working on dismanlting racism and anti-blackness with yourself before you try to co-opt on the tragedy of black people.
like all that activism means absolutely NOTHING if you mistreat black people in your everyday lives.
non black mfs rly saw this post and said
Dear fellow Americans:
The use of tear gas is a violation of the Geneva convention. Your police have gassed every major city.
False surrender is a violation of the Geneva convention. Your police have kneeled to draw protesters within range of tear gas.
Destroying and contaminating water is a violation of the Geneva convention. Your police have been destroying stocks of water used for the protestors.
Destroying medical tents and supplies is a violation of the Geneva convention. Your police have destroyed medical tents and attacked medics in various cities.
Attacking journalists is a violation of the Geneva convention. Your police have targeted and attacked journalists both native and foreign in multiple cities.
Your police are worse than war criminals, this isn’t even a war and they’ve managed to violate major international codes.
You truly believe “looting” or staying out past curfew is a valid excuse for actual war crimes to be committed against civilians?
But this is true, right?
Police in Charleston arrested a young Black protester who was kneeling peacefully and seemingly expressing remarks of solidarity
