#IN THIS COUNTRY???

Today I learned that on March 21st, Kadarius Smith, a 17 year old Black child, was run over by a police vehicle while cops were responding to an assault in the area (and ofc, all Black boys look like "suspects"). His mom had to be told about the tire treads on his back. And ofc the Leland (Mississippi) police aren't admitting to what happened, saying that witnesses are lying, he wasn't just "walking home with friends". But they won't release any tapes. I couldn't help but remember that poor young Palestinian boy that an Israeli soldier ran over with a bulldozer. His father even said that the family is finished because Kadarius was the last Smith in his line, which also struck me.
This kind of cruelty has been at home, y'all. Admittedly not on par with the immediate, overwhelming violence occurring in Palestine, but... These American police are trained to be cruel and heartless and get away with it. It's not a glitch in the system, the system is working precisely as intended.
#'its absurd that theyd run him over on purpose' ARE YOU SURE???#IN THIS COUNTRY???#in MISSISSIPPI???#police brutality#black lives matter#free palestine

I haven't seen this circulating here on Tumblr, so I decided to make my own post.
last saturday, in Porto, there was a pride parade going down the street and this old man was standing there, by his front door, waving the portuguese flag. most people on the parade probably thought the same: old person waving the national flag? he's probably protesting against the parade, he's a nationalist of some sort.
then the old man called for that person to come near him. the whole parade stopped. everyone just.. stopped moving. they didn't know what to expect, and most expected the worst. and that person decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and approached the old man. and then... they traded flags, he hugged the person and then he waved the pride flag happily. everyone cheered him.
such a wholesome moment. 🥹❤️🌈

south africa was banned in the olympics in 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988 & 1992. a total of 8 times. for 28 years they didn't set foot in the olympics. you know why? apartheid. apparently the olympics disagreed with the apartheid regime in south africa. russia & belarus aren't allowed to take part in the olympics this year. you know why? because of their involvement in the war in ukraine. several countries throughout history haven't been allowed to participate in the olympics because of various reason from their involvement in war to human rights abuses. now if the olympics aren't blind to all that... why in the world are they blind to what israel has been doing to gaza for the past 10 months? why is a genocidal apartheid nation allowed to participate in the olympics when any other country in its place would've been banned?
#tbh the US should've also been banned for all their various human rights abuses throughout history#but isn't that the same issue? why do the US & israel get passes to behave this way when other countries are held to a particular standard?#olympics#2024 olympics#paris olympics#israel#palestine#keshika rambles

white americans when you tell them that the idea of climate change as an impending disaster is a reductive first world perspective because it’s a tangible reality for many in the global south already:
#climate change#im TIRED#and i’m saying this as someone who also lives in the US.#im glad that none of you have to worry about your family and friends in other countries dying because of the heat#but this idea that “oh we have to stop it before we reach the extreme” is SO STUPID#because it’s already reached the extreme in some places!!#people are dying in south asia. people are dying in southeast asia. people are dying in africa. people are dying in central america.#people are dying in south america. people are dying in island nations.#what will it take you to care about these people#or will you not care until it’s people who look like you who are dying.

HEY GUYS!!

FRANCE HAS REACHED THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF SIGNATURES ON THE CITIZEN'S INITIATIVE AGAINST CONVERSION THERAPY IN THE EU!!
ONE COUNTRY DOWN, SIX TO GO!!
We also need still quite a few signatures in order to reach the one million required.
As to date, the six other countries with the most signatures are:
Spain - 38.72%
Finland - 30.31%
Ireland - 24.86%
Netherlands - 24.15%
Germany - 23.54%

So yeah, still a long way to go, but we ARE slowly getting closer. Don't stop now! Don't let this stay within the community, either, if you have any friends or family who are open to queer rights, get them to sign, too!
#good news#politics#EU politics#queer rights#human rights#lgbt rights#anti-conversion therapy#France#And I'll just tag the other countries mentioned in the post too#Spain#Finland#Ireland#Netherlands#Germany#Belgium

countries will be like “nooooo our birth rate is falling exponentially and it’s effecting our economy” and immigrants will be like “hey can you let us in so we can boost your economy and fill your empty jobs and raise our children here” and inevitably the country is like “the only thing worse than a large scale collapse of our population is letting foreigners live here”
#I was going to say only Western Europe + America but Japan is so xenophobic#Germany’s abysmal fucking birth rate combined with their vitriolic xenophobia#atp give up#dissolve the country again

(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don't, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that's not true. it's the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms
#i know we are all neurodivergent and executive disfunction and routine disruption is kicking our ass and it's hard. but you have to.#and i dont even mean like. travel to another country i mean#take the other bus home#or buy a different tea brand#YOUR BRAIN IS A MUSCLE EXERCISE IT.
