Always remember Kendrick got permission from Tupac's Estate to use clips of Tupac's voice for the TPAB album while Drake used AI of Tupac's voice for his diss record and had to delete it cuz the Estate found it disrespectful, threatening to sue him.

How can Drake care about music but use a dead man's voice without consent? Tupac literally warned people about imposters like Drake. Which is why Kendrick is going so hard cuz Tupac is his idol and Drake spat in his face.

really wish "abolish the police" was trending with all the news, it feels like a lot of ppl have forgotten since the height of blm

please dont tell a black person to not view police violence as a pressing issue, thanks.

my post in no way even specified the US, and it didnt for a good reason. abolish the police is an INTERNATIONAL CONCEPT.

police literally openly all over the world participate in genocide. and yes, the police in the united states participate in genocide. there are several genocides occurring. im not distracting from shit. i have the capacity to care about multiple things and so should you. im simply highlighting that cops are in fact a tool of genocides, with an 's', and my sadness comes from the sudden burst of support during blm no longer being present.

these things are CONNECTED. the iof is full of cops. the iof TRAINS COPS. even if youre only focused on one issue, which apparently you are, attack it from multiple angles.

Also jumping on this as a Palestinian-American to say, in addition to everything OP said -- our liberation is as interconnected as our oppression is!!! Palestinians are deep supporters of Black liberation, and have always stood in solidarity with anti-police protests!

Plus it's fully wild to watch the same cops that brutalize BLM protestors brutalize these college students asking for divestment and go "hmmmm is this the time to talk about police brutality?" IT FUCKING IS. OF COURSE IT IS. YOU'RE WATCHING IOF TRAINED COPS GLEEFULLY BEATING COLLEGE STUDENTS, WHO ARE ASKING THE UNIVERSITIES THEY GO TO, FOR DIVESTMENT FROM AN APARTHEID GENOCIDAL STATE. COPS WHO BY ALL ACCOUNTS ARE STILL GOING AFTER BLACK AND BROWN STUDENTS IN HIGHER NUMBERS.

yeah this is the right time. it does not "take attention from the pressing issue" are you kidding me??? How can you watch what's happening right now, and not see how these issues are TIED together. BLOWS MY MIND. Any excuse to be anti-black truly.

all this to affirm... palestine isn't free until the police are abolished. palestine isn't free until prisons are abolished. palestine isn't free until black people across the globe are free.

thank you so much for your addition

free palestine. abolish the police.

Watch my daughter’s story as she speaks as a Palestinian child who dreams of living like the children of the world, with a safe life away from bombing, destruction and a sense of danger.

My daughter, Dalin, was deprived of the most basic rights, such as education. She entered school in the first grade for one month, because of the war on Gaza.

Her only wish is for you to stand with us and help us by traveling as quickly as possible, saving her family and all of us going out to live a life without danger or losing any of us.

My daughter is like your children. Help us by donating through the gofundme campaign, and we ask you to save us before it is too late.

Please donate generously before the Israeli army enters Rafah, and share the post so that it reaches the largest number of good people.

Feel for us, my friends, and fulfill Dalin's wish, to live a safe life

Mahmoud here translated as best he could what his daughter was saying so YOU can understand. So listen. And share their story.

Had this idea in my head for ages and found the time to get it out. Really wanted to focus on getting a traditional/classical look to the figure and juxtapose that with scary dystopian sci-fi elements. Think it came out alright?

FUCK YOU bastard i am TRYIGN to show taylor there is another way. if she never goes ska mode it is all your fault

I know people like to say that the reason Pippin was overly familiar with Denethor was just because of a difference in dialect, but personally I like to think that when Pippin heard ‘Steward of Gondor’ he went, “oh, like the Thain of the Shire” and proceeded to talk to him the way he’d talk to the Thain—which is to say, politely, but like an equal

No but like this is really funny tho. The reason hobbits invented the office of the Thain in the first place is because the northern kingdoms (Arthedain in particular, being the one the Shire was a part of) fell. Before that, the hobbit’s leader was the fucking King. 

Afterwards in the peace that followed the Shire-folk ruled themselves and prospered. They chose a Thain to take the place of the King, and were content; though for a long time many still looked for the return of the King. But at last that hope was forgotten, and remained only in the saying When the King comes back, used of some good that could not be achieved, or of some evil that could not be amended.

By the time Pippin and the War of the Ring roll around, the Thain has become a hereditary title of the Tooks. As in the current one is literally Pippin’s dad. Look at him as just some back-country halfling all you want, but from Pippin’s perspective, he has the exact same social standing as Boromir and Faramir.

thank you so much for this very detailed correction. I really appreciate it. anyways:

Pippin, slamming open the doors to Minas Tirith: what’s up pops!

Ok, but:

Pippin: What's a Steward?

Boromir: [launches into a long-winded explanation]

Pippin: Oh, so like my dad!

Boromir:

Shit man, this wizard war is fucked. I just saw a guy clap his hands together and say "the ten hells" or some similar shit, and every one around him turned inside out, had their tibia explode and then disappeared. The camera didn't even go onto him, that's how common shit like this is. My ass is casting frostbite and level 2 poison. I think I just heard "power word:scrunch" two groups over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.
