The Gracefully Walking Disaster

Don't forget about them now.

Don't forget about them tomorrow.

Don't forget about them in a week from now.

Don't forget about them in a month.

Don't forget them next year.

Don't forget them in 5 years.

When the history books start to update, don't let them put lies in there.

When documentaries come out, boycott the ones who call this a victory for Israel.

When books release talking about soldier's personal experiences with Palestine, remember the victims. Remember the truth.

Don't forget about what we've seen.

Don't forget about what we've heard.

Don't let them tell lies about Palestine.

Alternatively, if you put a mattress over them they become useless, although you do risk having the city take the mattress. Normally they don’t reinstall the spikes if you keep removing them.

As for the benches, a concrete or hand held circular saw can cut off the arm rests of the benches with too many arm rests to sleep on. Just remember: Wear protective goggles and practice proper safety if using power tools. All of this stuff can be bought at Home Depot or your local variant of Home Depot.

I don’t know what Daniel Radcliffe is doing these days and this clip doesn’t help but here’s my thoughts on the matter:

massive trigger warning for discussions of abuse of disabled children

if you haven't seen it yet, the FDA's ban of a device called the graduated electronic decelerator has been overturned.

Use of the GED has been called torture by the United Nations, and it is used at the Judge Rotenberg Center in Massachusetts to shock autistic students into compliance. Along with mental trauma, use of the GED has caused third degree burns, with one student receiving as many as 350 shocks in one day. The GED is used alongside other revolting practices at JRC, including restraints, food deprivation, and social isolation for minor infractions, such as slouching, stopping work for 10 seconds, and not taking off a coat.

How You Can Help

1. sign the petition started by @autisticadvocacy

2. Use this script to email organizations asking for them to condemn the use of GED

3. You can use the same script and contact your US representatives and ask them to speak out

If you are abroad, you can also ask your representatives to speak out and condemn GED!!

4. Share this! Reblog this post, share the news with your friends and family, get as many people involved as possible

YES GOD FINALLY.

This is an essential part of emerging tech rights, esp for young influencers and media users. Kate Eichhorn recently wrote a fantastic book abt this called The End of Forgetting: Growing Up with Social Media that explores the ways permanent records of childhood — particularly representations the children themselves may not be in control of, such as the children of mommy-bloggers or influencers used for clout — can have lasting influences on how we mature in a digital society

So they took the 10 pounds of explosives and their toy truck to a poor Black neighborhood, got reporters there, stuck the explosives inside, and set them off intentionally instead of just defusing them like they did with the other 4,990 pounds of fireworks.

For some reason, likely because something went wrong with their truck which I bet cost the city a shit ton of money, the containment completely failed and the explosion destroyed cars, homes, and injured 17-19 people (I’ve seen different reports with different numbers), a couple of whom were in critical condition but it sounds like everyone survived.

The LAPD then had the audacity to tweet that they didn’t know what caused the explosion when it was them who caused the explosion, intentionally, and we know because they called the media so that everybody could see them do it.

Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

Attached is a news article by CBC Canadian News titled “Saskatoon Canadian cathedral covered with paint after discovery of 751 unmarked graves.” An attached image shows red hand prints on the walls and door of the building, along with the words “we were children.”

@ CurlyCheddar replied in a tweet that reads: I guess I understand the message but I’m not sure why the artist went with Halloween spook-o-rama walking dead hand prints. Really bad. Could be made a little better if the prints were child-sized and didn’t go above the height of a child but whatever not the point I guess.

@ IguanodoneComics replied: sorry us natives grieving the loss of almost a thousand of our own isn’t artistically satisfying enough for you. /end ID]

[ID: The full image of the graffitied cathedral shows red paint dripping down the front steps and two pairs of children’s shoes and stuffed animals.
