REPRESENTATION MATTERS.

Representation is SO important.

Do y’all know where the phrase “eat the rich” comes from or do you just repeat it cause you heard it elsewhere?

It’s not a bad thing, I just saw someone say “we never said who would eat the rich” and realized a lot of y’all might not have heard the full quote

It’s from Rousseau and it’s “When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich"

And, well, there’s a lot of people with nothing to eat…

The poor cried,

"We are starving. There is no more bread, and we have nothing to eat."

The rich man said,

"Not my problem you don't work for your bread,"

as if he did not snatch away the grain by his own greedy hands and create filling bread for his own overflowing mouth.

The poor cried,

"We are dying. There is no more medicine, and we're all ill."

The rich man said,

"Not my problem you don't take care of yourselves,"

as if he did not buy all the medicine and raise prices so high

the gods themselves would not

be able to reach.

The poor people

stopped crying,

and the rich man was satisfied...

Until they came knocking at his door one night;

their faces were sunken,

their flesh decaying,

their eyes sightless.

They were monsters

of the rich man's

own making.

As they devoured his flesh,

the rich man cried,

"Please, spare me!"

The ravenous zombies said,

"Not our fault

you fattened yourself

for slaughter."

Holy fucking shit

I cannot believe… they let chris rock get away with this

he ain’t lie

He really didn’t

The real power move here is that the witness gave a very specific and useful description that the police could use to conduct their search. Yes, the suspect was black but he also offered height, weight, what he was wearing and non-racial identifying features. it was THE COPS who took all this useful information and decided to weaponize it against a kid. 

This isn’t just an accurate depiction of how racism works. It’s a specific call-out about racist cops and the negative effect of racism on police work. 

To celebrate the first of Halloween, I have to share with you my recent discovery: The Living Tombstone’s remix of Spooky Scary Skeletons and Freaks by Timmy Trumpet & Savage have the same BPM.

One of the stupid small joys that the world hasn’t taken away from me:

Really bad pictures of black cats.
