π π³ Happy New Year! π³ π It's finally the Year of the Wood Dragon so here is a Royal Poinciana Kirin inspired by the big poinciana tree I can see from my window.
from time to time i still think about the animal cops south africa show i watched where every episode had law enforcement seizing animals from black south africans in poverty then at the end of the episode without exception the animals got adopted out to suburban white families π€¨π€¨π€¨
like there really is a nasty trend in animal rescue nobody talks about where many people involved have more empathy for the animals than the humans they're taking them from. somehow a dog has more right to not live in squalor than a human being.
NOT WHAT HE SAYS
*packing a bowl* okay who wants to say grace
We're being followed by a mysterious mustachio'd man!
this would pull me too because iβve been really into hot salsas lately and i need to talk to someone about it
Ryan Gainer was a 15 year old Autistic Black boy who was shot and killed by police in California.
Ryan seemed to have been having a meltdown, he was holding a gardening tool, police were called to the house but they are refusing to release any body cam footage of the shooting and refusing to state how many times Ryan was shot, they failed to help him before the paramedics arrived.
After shooting him Ryan's family was then forced out of their home while the police rummaged through their house looking for any justifiable cause for shooting Ryan.
This is hardly the first time the San Bernardino police department has attacked or killed people having a mental health crisis.
Rest in Power Ryan.
STOP CALLING THE POLICE ON DISABLED AND MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE!
i'm just so tired of living in a world that doesn't seem to love its people. maybe one day i can find a way to be happy despite that but. it feels so impossible right now. i don't have room for anyone in my life beyond the bare minimum bc i just can't be a good friend right now. i can barely get to work and take care of myself. i'm so tired all the time. i have some kind of neurodivergence i can't get diagnosed for even with a referral from my doctor bc specialists are booked so far out. genocides are happening all over the place in order to service the country i live in and the lifestyle i've been forced to adopt. i try so hard to be grateful for the privileges i have but i am in a dark place right now and i'm losing the strength to try and crawl out. distractions don't work anymore. i'm just so exhausted
if you do not live in china and youβre worried that the chinese government will Steal Your Data and youβre not like an ambassador or a glamorous international spy then your brain has been turned into a fine powder by sinophobia. like buddy they donβt even want it
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism ππΎ you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.
today is the 3 year anniversary of breonna taylors murder at the hands of police. as a reminder, she was killed in a no knock swat raid. the warrant for this raid was provided under false pretenses, as the police officers lied about the suspect of their investigation having packages delivered to her house. none of the officers have been charged.
four years.
i love pirating GIMME that shit
also only got like 1.5 hours of sleep in short bursts bc my anxiety kept me up all night. sorry not sorry to vent but all my other socials have irls and i'm allergic to being vulnerable with my friends about my mental health π₯²
