"The Anchuent Prophecy..."

Frollo and Gaston are close buds and regularly smoke dank weed together. However, Gaston never allows LeFou to join them. LeFou, therefore, is very jealous of Frollo.

Do autistic kids "grow out" of their autism? Why does it sometimes seem like there are so few autistic adults?

AND they had the actual gall to call it an accident, a mistake— because somehow a veteran cop mistook her gun for her taser. And I’m the bloody Queen of England! 

I’m beyond outraged. Minnesota’s corrupt police have struck again. America has learnt nothing, and are letting their black citizens down. Why is nothing changing? Why is there still a trial going on for George Floyd’s murder, that happened almost a whole year ago?? Why did Wright’s killer just get put on administrative leave??? 

WHY IS NOTHING CHANGING. 

I’m just so incensed that this is still happening. Down below are some resources that will help. Look through them, especially if you’re American and actually in more capacity to help.

WITH. THE FUCKING. THUMBNAIL.

MY LIFE IS OVER. THIS IS THR WORST DAY. EVERYONE FUCKING SAW IT. BECAUSE I FUCKING TAGGED @everyone. WHICH IS ALSO APPARENTLY AGAINST THE RULES. SO APPARENTLY, NOW I NOT ONLY FELL FOR MY OWN TRICK AND HUMILLIATED MYSELF BEFORE EVERYONE. I ALSO GOT CALLED OUT IN THE CHAT FOR BREAKIN THE FUCKING RULES OR SOME SHIT. :)))

Look, I know it’s annoying and tiring, what with our xenophobic, racist, capitalist, and ableist world and its nonstop injustices and grievances. But as a Chinese-American woman who’s experienced my fair share of verbal harassment for my race and gender, I’d really appreciate it if you would take a moment to read and reflect about the anti-AAPI hate crimes taking place not just recently, but since before the beginning of the pandemic. It’s too easy to sweep these things under the rug in the interest of attending to more urgent crises and social justice movements, but the AAPI community shouldn’t be an afterthought in the big picture of things, especially marginalized groups within this group, including working class, sex workers, those who don’t fit into so-called “model minority”. Credits to Dear Asian Youth on IG. I haven’t seen it shared on Tumblr yet, but maybe it has already; either way, it would be nice if you could reblog it as well. If you’d rather not read, feel free to keep scrolling but unfollow me first.

Image 1: On March 16th, a gunman murdered 8 people at several Asian-run massage spas in Atlanta. Six of the victims were Asian women. CW: violence, mass shooting, racism, death

Image 2: What happened: At 4:50 PM, the first shooting occurred at Young’s Asian Massage in Acworth, where four people were murdered. Around 5:47 PM, Atlanta police responded to another shooting that occurred at Gold Spa, where they found three women shot. While at the scene, police received a report of shots fired at Aromatherapy Spa, where the body of another woman was found.

The police later arrested the shooter in Crisp County at approximately 8:00 PM, who later told law enforcement that he has a “sexual addiction.”

Image 3: Fetishization: Cherokee County sheriff Jay Baker reduced the shooting to the perpetrator having a “really bad day” because he wanted to “eliminate” a “temptation” from his “sexual addiction.”

This justification stems from “yellow fever”, an outdated and racist ideology that objectifies and fetishizes Asian women and contributes to the dehumanization of sex workers. Yellow fever promotes the belief that Asian women are exotic, submissive, and docile.

Comments like “love you long time” and “happy ending” continue to stigmatize, fetishize, and downplay violence against Asian women.

Image 4: Despite evidence of racial bias, many publicized attacks during the pandemic have not been treated as hate crimes, leaving many in the AAPI community to believe that anti-Asian violence is not being taken seriously. These crimes are rooted in racism and hatred towards Asian communities. CALL IT A HATE CRIME.

Image 5: RISE IN ANTI-ASIAN HATE CRIMES: Stop AAPI Hate recently released its latest national report, which shows that 3,795 anti-Asian hate incidents have been recorded from March 2020 to February 2021. A majority of these incidents (68%) were reported by women.

The increase in anti-Asian sentiment can be partially attributed to the widespread use of terms such as “Kung Flu,” “Chinese Virus,” and “Wuhan Virus” by high-profile officials such as former U.S. President Donald Trump. Many continue to use these terms, despite how it has instigated harassment and violence toward the Asian community.

Image 6: A GLOBAL ISSUE: The rise in anti-Asian hate crimes is not a uniquely American issue. In countries with significant Asian populations such as Canada and the United Kingdom, hate crimes against Asians are also increasing.

Canada: In Vancouver, hate crimes against Asian Canadians rose by 717%. Hate crimes in Ottawa increased by 57%, with most of the victims being of East or Southeast Asian descent. Montreal reported a spike of 30 hate crimes and racist acts specifically targeting Asians.

UK: The UK has seen a 300% increase in hate crimes targeting East and Southeast Asians since the start of the pandemic. Anti-Asian hate crimes have increased after every lockdown period, rising from 261 to 395 per month between April and June 2020.
