IT’S THE “AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS AU” GUYS

EDIT: This post is inclusive to ALL art forms.

Likes can only go so far for artists. Artists may exclusively upload their artwork to tumblr, or don’t have the time to use other sites and prefer tumblr over deviantART due to its simplicity, but the tagging system can make it harder to navigate. Many artists on tumblr tag with high-traffic tags or use their own tags to prevent tag clogging which eventually become lost. That’s why it’s very important to reblog an artist’s work. 

I’m not trying to push you to ruin your blog’s aesthetic or something, nor am I saying that “you must absolutely reblog your favourite artist’s work or you’re trash”, all I’m saying is if you truly want to support your favourite artist, instead of just liking their posts, try to reblog them once in a while. The more reblogs they receive, the more exposure/notes/followers they may receive, and it’s just one of the easiest ways to show you care about them.

Cops Kidnap Blind Man, Dump Him on the Side of the Road in the Middle of Nowhere

On the night of August 27, four plainclothes police officers pulled up to an apartment complex in South Dade and arrested three young black men.

A bystander caught the interaction on video.

According to police, the three men were arrested because officers claimed to witness the horrible crime of passing a marijuana cigarette.

The men were arrested for possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor, and forced to sign citations promising to appear in court.

Two of the men were let go, but cops threw the third man, Burke, into the back of their unmarked car. Burke was unable to even find the cop car.

After kidnapping him, Burke estimates that police drove him around for twenty minutes before dropping him off in a desolate section of South Dade.

Finally, after walking with one foot on the pavement and one in the weeds, a stranger came to his aid and led him home.

Burke, who has never been convicted of a crime, has been arrested twice and detained by police on more than a dozen other occasions. Being stopped and handcuffed in his neighborhood, he said, is nothing new.
