“I’m going to punt you in your pus-y!” LAPD tells woman and kicks her to death

These were the words of LAPD Officer Mary O'Callaghan to Alesia Thomas. Handcuffed with her legs restrained, Alesia can be seen getting punched in the throat by Officer O'Callaghan who then delivered on her promise and kicked her directly in her groin - repeatedly. This was nearly 3 years ago.

It was recorded on the dashcam.

As O'Callaghan jabbed at the woman’s throat with her hand, Thomas looked into the camera with wide eyes. The recording captured Thomas, who also had her legs tied with a nylon hobble restraint, repeatedly saying, “I can’t.”

The video showed O’Callaghan raise her boot and strike Thomas, whose body shook in response. A few minutes later, Thomas’ eyes closed and her head fell backward, the video showed. The recording then cut off.

She died at the hospital that evening. The video of her being assaulted was just released for the first time in court and can be seen below.

disney live action au, the little mermaid

and i have to apologise

i’ve seen the error of my ways

straight boys are not ’weak and pathetic’ 

Pretty. Girls. DONT. Eat. 

I spent years wholeheartedly believing these four words.

This phrase consumed my thoughts to the point where I never thought I would be good enough until I could stop eating for good.

And I know I am not the only one.

If you have ever felt this way - or you feel that way now - just take a moment to remind yourself of two things:

1. PRETTY GIRLS DO EAT. 

2. BEING PRETTY IS NOT THE ONLY VALUE YOU HAVE AS A WOMAN

Im not the first person to point these things out. And I sure as hell hope I am not the last. But I hope one day when you google “pretty girls eat” that you see something different. 

Because… pretty girls fucking eat!!

One day I want little girls to google “pretty girls eat” and see pictures of beautiful women like this. 

Women who are not only beautiful, but so much more. (and if you follow them you KNOW that they all eat!)

Fuck “pretty girls don’t eat” Because we do. And we should remind each other of that until every lost girl who has had the misfortune of believing such a terrible lie can be shown the truth:

PRETTY GIRLS EAT.

HEALTHY girls eat.

STRONG girls eat.

DETERMINED girls eat.

CONFIDENT girls eat.

SMART girls eat.

HAPPY girls eat.
