Le coin perdu

The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

FARENHEIT 451 IS ON THE BANNED BOOKS LIST??? IT’S LITERALLY ABOUT THE SOCIETAL DANGERS OF BANNING/OUTLAWING/BURNING BOOKS ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

That’s the reason it’s on the bloody list.

BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT HOW BANNING AND BURNING BOOKS IS WRONG.

HERE’S ALL THE PDF VERSIONS I COULD FIND SINCE WE’RE ALL IN QUARANTINE AND WE CAN’T PHYSICALLY GET THE BOOKS WE DON’T HAVE

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The Autobiography of Malcolm X

Beloved

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (this was the only free version I could find, and it’s a downloadable thing, so do so with caution)

The Call of the Wild

Catch-22 (it was either this version or one where the entire thing was in comic sans font)

The Catcher in the Rye

Fahrenheit 451

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Gone With the Wind

The Grapes of Wrath

The Great Gatsby

Howl

In Cold Blood

Invisible Man

The Jungle (personally I don’t like this formatting, but the site doesn’t look sketchy so…) - there’s also this which is the proper book format in a pdf, but it’s directly photocopied so it might be hard to read some of the print

Leaves of Grass

Moby Dick

Native Son

Our Bodies, Ourselves (we learned about this one in APUSH!)

The Red Badge of Courage

The Scarlet Letter

COULD NOT FIND Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (the ebook is 47 fucking dollars??? and i can’t even find sketchy websites that’ll let me download a pdf. if anyone manages to find a link, lmk please)

Stranger in a Strange Land

A Streetcar Named Desire

Their Eyes Were Watching God

To Kill a Mockingbird

Uncle Tom’s Cabin

Where the Wild Things Are (this is a slideshow!!!! how fun)

COULD NOT FIND The Words of Cesar Chavez (however I did manage to download the first 71 pages of the book from EBSCO and I put it here but I couldn’t get the rest. sorry y’all)

WTF LITERALLY ¾ OF THESE BOOKS WERE REQUIRED READING FOR MY CLASSES LMAOOO

Please help me out if you can

I’m a mixed afro-indigenous lesbian in the US and I was shot seven times with riot rounds from 20 feet away at a peaceful protest a few days ago while standing still and silent by myself in front of a line of armed police and soldiers after the crowd broke after we were tear gassed. Four of the hits caused serious injury and tore tendons in my arm and my calf. I’m proud of my decision to stand and let them shoot me over and over because I wanted to make a statement, I wanted to bring myself to risk my well being for something that I think really matters, and I wanted to stop the line from advancing on the rest of the fleeing crowd, but I’m in a lot of pain from the damage and my limbs ain’t working so great right now. 

The state is re opening soon and I don’t have a job, the job market is gonna be rough, and right now I have limited movement in my dominant hand/arm and both my legs so I don’t know when I’ll even be able to work. I have no money, I made like 4K last year, and I don’t really own much of anything, so if anyone can donate I just need money to live on- pay bills, rent, buy food and essentials, etc, and just stabilize my situation, I’d really appreciate it

BOYCOTT LUSH UK!

DO NOT BOYCOTT LUSH NORTH AMERICA!

Lush UK and Lush North America are different!

Lush UK is owned by Mark Constantine, the guy supporting cops.

Lush North America is owned by Mark Wolverton and Karen Delaney-Wolverton and they support Black Lives Matter. This is their Twitter which is full of BLM content and info about allyship, etc. right now.

This is their homepage:

They sent out this letter to their employees and posted it online:

spread this around.

The video speaks for itself.

This is happening. An hour away from me, this is happening. And while I cant be with my brothers and sisters and comrades on the front lines, I will be using what platform I have and what privilege I have to spread this information.

I can't be there. I can't stand beside them, I have no way to get to the city to help them. They have locked the city down, they have declared a state of emergency and instituted a curfew enforced by the National Gaurd. I dont have a way to get to them transportation wise. But please, I beg of you, if you can protest, do it. Please help them.

I will do my best to keep my followers updated and provide information for my fellow ohioans. Please stand tall in this harsh time. Please donate and do what you can, even if what you can is as simple as defending the protestors in conversation.

Stay fierce Ohioans. Stay proud.

Cops murdered a black girl in Toronto this week too but Canadians are too up their own asses about how we’re “Not the racist ones! That’s only America! We’re the nice ones :)” to acknowledge it or do anything about it

Cops in Canada are just as racist and evil please Canada wake the fuck up

Her name was Regis Korchinski-Paquet, she was a 29 year old Afro-Indigenous woman. She was pushed off of her own balcony by the Toronto police and fell to her death. They are reporting it as a suicide.

Say her name. Do not let them cover this up.

If you are able, you can donate to her family’s legal and memorial fund here.

And here is a google doc with contact information for the local representatives with a template email/phone script.

this is superior humor

Please share this 😔😔😔

Hey there! My name is Miguel, I’m a trans young adult, i live in São Paulo (Brazil), and I am a freelancer tattoo artist. However, my city is currently under lockdown due to coronavírus (and it’s been more than 15 days, I’m keeping count), and our president was literally called BolsoNero by the Economist, because he’s literally fiddling around while our country dies.

Being a freelancer, I don’t have a regular income to see myself through these awful quarantine times. I have asked for help, again and again. I’m honestly scared, and preparing for the worst.

Being a tattoo artist, I have some artistic skills, and my commissions are open! If you can, I urge you to consider commissioning me! I’m running out of money for food fast. :’(

If you can donate as well, it will be much, much appreciated! This paragraph will link to my ko-fi page. I’m so scared, but I know with your help we can get through this! Also, please, if you can, signal boost this post! It helps a million!! And thank you for reading this far! <3

update: the quarantine in são paulo got extended yesterday by our state government. no one is allowed to leave their houses until april 22 (aside from health workers and the usual necessary services to the population, like gas stations, pharmacies and supermarkets). i’m so scared, and my Mother is p much making me pay rent by making tattoos on her, as absurd as it may sound.

I think it’s important to say that I am bipolar (medically diagnosed and I do take meds so my mood swings don’t… swing as much [?]), so I’m very prone to have panic attacks and bouts of really heavy depression, the type where I am so messed up I just stay in bed, without forces to get up. It’s horrible, but I’m coping with it.

if you can’t donate, i completely understand! trust me, i do!! it’s a rough time for a lot of people right now. but please, p l e a s e consider at least signal boosting this post!!! that’s a great help for me!

thank you, we’re gonna get through this!!!!! <3

(Please blocklist the tag Astrayan if you don’t want these on your dashboard. I’m growing desperate by the second, but that doesn’t give me the right to flood anyone’s dashboard)

update^2: the quarantine indeed got extended by our governor. It’s supposed to end in May 10th, but then who knows? It’s a time of uncertainty.

as usual, i’m scared but quietly hoping for the best. these last few weeks have been taxing emotionally, but we can get through this. this paragraph will link to my ko-fi page

please stay safe, and stay home if you can <3 and if you can, signal boost this post! it’s a great great help!

Update^3: The quarantine in São Paulo got extended to May 31th.

That’s past my birthday (may 28th). And I’m scared.
