‪Another senseless death, a death perpetrated by racists, by supremacists, by bigots. A death that could have been prevented, should have been prevented. It’s time to stand up. To stand up for what is right and just. We must stand together, hand in hand.‬

chauvin was charged with third degree murder and manslaughter. in minnesota, third degree murder holds a maximum sentence of 25 years. just because he’s charged does not mean this is over. there’s also still the other 3 officers who need to answer for their crimes. continue to be loud and demand he gets the maximum sentence! continue to spread and sign petitions!

Hess later admitted to lying on multiple occasions after DJ’s death about the shooting.

These were all murders. They were not accidental. All of these innocent people: men, women AND children. Were murdered because they were black. Not because they were violent. Not because they were threatening, but because they were black. Something has to change. We have to MAKE a change. Black lives matter. Black men. Black women. Black children. Non-Binary blacks. Trans blacks. Every single one of their lives matter. Your friends. Your neighbors. Your teachers. Your brothers. Your sisters. We are the change.

DO NOT JUST LIKE THIS AND KEEP SCROLLING FUCKING REBLOG THIS

script from @bluecollarbabe1 on instagram. even if you can't protest, you can still be heard. use your voice. do something.

TEXT:

To whom it may concern:

I am writing you about the murder of George Floyd by MPD officers Derek Chauvin, Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng, and Tou Thao. These men were not upholding the law, they were committing murder and terrorizing their community. Being fired is not an appropriate response to the crime. All officers must be charged with murder.

We cannot continue this way. This is not the way forward. Use your station and power for change; for good. Give a voice to the smothered. Prove that all lives matter. Do your job.

police@minneapolismn.gov

When the streets clear and the ashes fade, George Floyd will not be forgotten. The events transpiring may very well be plastered into history books. The world is watching. My generation will not fail to tell our children exactly what happened. Your actions now will cement how you are remembered. If you stand up and act, you will be remembered for your bravery, choosing to enact justice. If not, history will sneer at your cowardice. The choice is yours.

Does anyone else have their fingers crossed for Feysand babies in ACOTAR 4?

[malta-girl]

They are sooo good

DEFY THE STARS NEEDS A FANDOM. (please reblog)

So, if you haven’t heard of these books, they’re a YA sci-fi trilogy (third book won’t come out until 2019) by claudia gray and v e r y good?? and yet i can’t find any posts about them?? No fanarts!! no memes!! no shitposts!! and I find this UPSETTING. 

These books are criminally underrated. And if we don’t have a fandom, we’ll be alone with our sobbing when the third book comes out. 

So y’all we need to start making memes and shitposts and discussions and stuff

So if we could like, spread this post around and get some discussion started, and get some tags and make them popular, that would be great 

taggos (basically everyone i’ve heard discuss this):  @jorammiireads @ablemansfield @worlds-of-ink-and-paper @fernandabarrera @readwithcindy @spacecadetstef @krsonmar @treehuger04 @negativereader @reading-out-loud @seoulitewriter 

PLEASE REBLOG and also read the damn books

Acotar and Tog fan theory

My theory is that the two Sarah J. Maas worlds are created but not in the more popular way in which Acotar predates Tog. I think that Tog actually comes before Acotar, this is why:

• in Tog they have god’s that they worship but by Acotar they acknowledge that they once had gods but have now forgotten them which likely happened after Aelin killed them all

• the powers of the fey in Tog aren’t classified into courts like they are in Acotar and certain people definitely have powers that look like they have been passed on e.g. Aelin’s fire to the Autum court Lorcan’s power to the Night court

• human and Fey interaction isn’t segregated in Tog but it is in Acotar, the war that lead to this suggests that the fey tried to dominated the humans which could be retaliation for how they were hunted down prior to Tog

What do you guys think?

[malta-girl]

So accurate

Problems of being a fangirl

Asexual as fuck for actual people.

Slutty bisexual for fictional characters.
