And so women [in Wakanda] are allowed to realize their full potential … we’re all very specific, very individual, very powerful in our own ways and therefore, very effective and influential.   - Lupita Nyong’o

A city is full of people, full of stories, full of heart. So much heart it leaks into the ground and splatters the walls. 

Some of these walls gestate and grow. 

Some of these walls, Must let you know.

A Kofi Commission for @rupted , the prompt being, “Whispering Walls.” Tracking these things are a bit more difficult than most, as its mostly found in tight knit communities, so you’ll have to buckle down and talk your way into these families before you can hear they’re stories. Hunting and extracting them is another matter, since you’re basically committing Property Damage.

If you want your own Cryptid/Monster, Donate up to $9 or more to my Kofi with a Monster name Prompt, & the rules for this Kofi Request round is here.

The Theme this Round is

If your schools threaten to suspend you, protest anyways. En masse. Because you know what gets tracked by district, state and federal administration? Suspensions.

Schools and schools systems *must report* their suspension levels etc. Every year all this data from the state gets compiled into a huge report and presented to the State Board of Education and the state legislators. By. School.

You know what happens to schools districts with unusually high rates? Big Trouble.

So if your principal/superintendent threatens to suspend any student participating in a walkout? Still do it. Because here’s what will happen: You’ll walk out, get suspended, the school will be empty basically for *days* effectively starting a strike, the principal will have to report it to the district, the district will have to report it to the state and there’s a solid chance your school’s administrative team could be replaced.

@teens and kids that are being bullied for speaking out:

each one of you is my hero.

i see you. i hear you. i’m standing with you.
