Justice for Tasia Fortune

Black ppl in the US do not hang ourselves, that is something that was done to us way too much by nonblack ppl for us to prefer that as a way to self harm. there have been so many recent cases of Black men, women, boys, & girls coming up found lynched this year alone.

most being ruled as suicide without further investigation. but aint never been no laws or coordinated media efforts to stop hate against Black ppl, no mass organizing done by nonblack on our behalf to protect us, unprompted.

Black people in the empire and outside of it have always, ALWAYS, been the ones to force other groups to pay attention when we make noise for each other and incite action where everyone else is too cowardly & comfortable in their own locations on the axis of white centrism bc their groups not affected to the same degree, intensity, intentionality.

"oh i don't agree with muslims and they are kinda backwards dirty savages but i still support-" no. try again.

This person claims to be part of Indigenous groups from multiple different continents (how the hell did your parents meet???) and seems to pick up a new ethnicity every other week. Apparently they're Nigerian now!

Despite supposedly being of mixed Black, Native American, Siberian and Northern European descent (and not mentioning any standard issue white heritage) they look like this:

Listen. I know it's not nice to accuse people of race-faking just because they look white. As a white looking mixed Native, I hear you.

But I think we need to be realistic here, the chances that someone is a mix of alllll those assorted non-white races and came out looking like a white guy are pretty slim.

This user also approached me once speaking google translate Cree, and when I responded (in Cree) that I didn't think they actually spoke Cree they couldn't understand me.

They also claim to be an elf. Not in a tumblr identity kinning type way, literally. Frankly I think that's more likely than Nigerian.

I don't know if this person is unwell, or racist, or both, but I don't have time for race-faking colonizer fuckery and neither do you.

Block em if you see em. Don't let this shit clog up Indigenous spaces on tumblr.

And white people: pretendianism and race-faking is largely YOURS to deal with. If you see this bullshit, call it out.

Emergency: Please help!!

Thursday, August 6th: Hello, everyone. I’m Gem, a bi, mentally ill, and multiple disabled woman in desperate need of help, as I need help to pay my bills this month!!

I'm sorry that I have to e-beg again. However, as most of you know from my previous posts, I have been struggling to make ends meet while on welfare. And due to my outstanding bills and ever-increasing debt, it has been difficult for me to make ends meet. With the rising cost of living, I have been relying on my credit cards to pay bills and simply get by on a day-to-day basis.

This has placed a significant financial strain on me, and repaying them is more than I can afford. I have also been supporting my sister through her benefit sanctions, which ended earlier this month, leaving me deeply over my limit.

And after covering rent, utilities, and direct debits, I have nothing left for my credit card bill and I won't receive my welfare until the 31st. 

Again, I know this is a lot to ask, but if anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would mean a lot, and sharing helps just as much. 

Thank you ❤️

£0/£256!!
