It's been a rough decade this year

oh my god

please picture me in the trees

when i was depressed those “reasons not to kill yourself” lists never helped.. maybe they do for some people but for me they actually made me feel worse. it was like….here’s a reminder that there are all these things other people find joy in that you can’t. with a sprinkle of guilt because “your family/friends will miss you.”

what i needed to hear, and so what i’ll tell any of you reading this who are in the same situation, was: a lot of people recover from mental illness and go on to live full lives. it’s quite likely that with treatment, a time will come when you won’t want to die anymore and you’ll find joy in everyday life. yes, you. stay alive for that possibility.

When Sherry Johnson was eleven, she found one day that she’s gonna marry a 20-year-old member of her church who had raped her. She became pregnant and in order to avoid investigation and criminal case, her family and church officials decided to make the girl a legal wife of this monster.

“My mom asked me if I wanted to get married, and I said, ‘I don’t know, what is marriage, how do I act like a wife?’” Johnson remembers today, many years later. “She said, ‘Well, I guess you’re just going to get married.’” 

However, her case is one of thousand cases of child marriage. According to statistics, children 16 and under are still being married in Florida at a rate of one every few days.

Johnson and her family also attended a conservative Pentecostal church and that other girls of a similar age periodically also married. One girl said when she was 10 she was raped by both a minister and a parishioner and later gave birth to a daughter. There were all documents confirming her and her child’s age, but still, the judge approved the marriage to end the rape investigation, telling her, “What we want is for you to get married.”

And nevertheless, America prefers to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs, like in Syria, calling it “defending freedom” rather than to change states’ laws and to protect American children from rape, coercion and molestation. 

Today, Johnson is campaigning for a state law to stop underage marriage that has already become a norm in some states.

Please, help me to raise awareness to this issue. No one can remain indifferent to the problem of child molestation.

Chris Christie refused to outlaw child marriage in New Jersey when he was governor. Until a few months ago 13 year olds could legally marry here. Fuck Republicans.

Just remember until women got the vote age of consent was like 8 years old. It was one of the first things women changed when they got the legal right to vote and represent themselves as human beings.

so cops are dropping out because they can’t haul heavy equipment for 12 hour shifts while dealing with people screaming at them for a couple days? that’s just working retail thru the holidays baybee. no sympathy.

A Bold Black Lives Matter Statement Transforms a Street Leading to the White House in Washington D.C.

the military continues to occupy d.c., the mayor just proposed an increase in the police budget, police continue to brutalize protesters and bystanders, and this is a stunt that doesn’t produce any meaningful change.  keep protesting and push for real change, not this empty bullshit.  here are tweets about this and the blm street sign just put up in d.c. from the d.c. chapter of black lives matter:

100% TRUE

MLK was assassinated just over 50 years ago

He'd be 91 if he were alive today

Don't ever let them trick you into thinking this was a long time ago

His older sister is still alive.

Take a look at this picture:

When do you think it was taken? 20s? Maybe 30s?

Nope! It was taken in 1960 — the little girl, Ruby Bridges, had to be escorted through waves of protestors all yelling and throwing things. She’s 65 years old currently... about the same age as my own grandmother.

So yeah. This wasn’t a hundred years ago. It’s not “over”.
