Bertie’s Short Films: Rocks That Bleed 

'Rocks That Bleed', Bertie's newest short was, honestly, exceptional. There was something about it that had me engrossed to the final scene, and I was genuinely emotional when it ended. Jack Howard was completely brilliant too, and when the two actors were paired with all the other things that make Bertie's films so wonderful it was really beautiful to watch. Definitely my favourite so far! 

(Shameless plug) You can get my Bertie’s Short Films prints here, and this one will be going up there too if you’d like!

Victims of sexual assault expect privacy. But 16-year-old Jada was violated all over again once explicit images from her rape surfaced on Twitter. So Jada decided to take her story public.

“There’s no point in hiding,” the Houston teen tells KHOU. “Everybody has already seen my face and my body, but that’s not what I am and who I am.”

I’m sharing this because certain people on twitter  NEEDS TO BE STOP! Specially the ignorant side of black twitter! Every time something bad happen to a young black women or black girl twitter is quickly to explode it into something bigger! And Jada story is one of them! She’s a 16 yearls high school student she could be your sister,cousin, neighbor, or classmate! This tragic thing happened to her and these ignorant people on twitter looking for followers exploit this to point where the disgusting hashtag was created #jadapose. People tweeting pictures of themselves in the pose in which Jada was found! What I find even worse about this its that a lot of the people doing these poses are young black men and women. Something like this happen to someone who could possibly be your sister and instead of asking for justice you rather create a new meme? And some of them even argue “oh how do you know she got rape?” Does it matter? a picture of an underage girl laying on the floor looking like she’s passed out is not something be laughed at EVER! Like ‏@_kimberrrly said  ”A rape victim’s trauma is not grounds for a new internet meme. Pls do not partake in such ignorance. Report #jadapose pictures.”

I’m happy and proud of Jada for speaking and not letting this disgusting thing becoming any bigger

Which brings me to what I’m trying to ask or say here when will sexual assault towards black girls and young black women will be taking serious by young black people?

In class today, my teacher mentioned John (Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s transgender son), referring to him as ‘their daughter who wishes to be called a boy.’ I responded by saying ‘So you mean their son.’ He said ‘I will only refer to her as her real gender, because it’s my choice.’ And so I’ve decided to always refer to this teacher as Mrs. instead of Mr. and if they don’t like being misgendered, oh well, because it’s my choice,

who is cutris lepore and what did he do? ive never heard about him before

this asshole is curtis lepore. he’s a famous viner who pled guilty to raping his ex-girlfriend and harassed her and made jokes about it when he didn’t get jail time.

he also lied about doing charity for a domestic abuse center as if him donating charity means he’s a good person after being an unapologetic rapist.

he’s on a bunch of vine and shit that gets spread around tumblr even though he’s the kind of person we should not be endorsing in the slightest but hey! who cares about aiding a rapist get more famous so he can continue to get people to send death threats to his victim because someones safety doesn’t matter as much as that 6 second vine does.

stop fucking reblogging curtis lepore.

this website rlly informed me about rape culture and sexuality and just like made me more knowledgeable abt stuff in general however it’s also a very dark environment sometimes because it facilitates self loathing and romanticizes depression and other mental disorders

so thanks but also fuck you

I had a friend in 6th grade and I for some reason thought his name was Edgar and he never corrected me and after a year of calling him Edgar I was over his house and his mom was like “why do you call him that his names Kyle”
