hmm don’t know how to address this but i looked it up and apparently Richard Phillips, the 72-year-old black man recently released from prison after serving 45 years for murder he didn’t commit, is being forced to sell his art, rather than willingly selling it, since the justice system is refusing to pay him anything. there’s a post going around saying he’s showcasing his art and we should support him by purchasing it, but i think it’s an important distinction that he doesn’t want to part from the art that he made in prison. parting permanently from art you’ve made can be difficult, and considering the emotional value of the art he made in order to cope with his situation, it’s cruel to take it away from him rather than to just donate money. also there’s like this weird fetishization of his “prison art” in the media that is frankly disgusting, like ogling his pain and suffering and making it into some sort of spectacle. i scoured twitter for a donation page but i couldn’t find anything yet

update: i emailed his lawyer and found the official gofundme for him if you guys can spare anything

Some reminders about Dr. King before tomorrow:

  • The United States Government was convicted in court of his murder.
  • He spoke out against police brutality, capitalism, and war.
  • He believed that white moderates were and are the greatest threat to civil rights, moreso than any hate group.
  • He was arrested over 10 times.
  • He was considered a dangerous radical by the majority of white Americans. 
  • He refused to condemn rioters, because “a riot is the language of the unheard.”
  • Any white person who voted for Trump who tries to use MLK or his words as a rhtetorical tactic to justify their bigotry and complain about people protesting can personally come to my apartment in the next 24 hours for an ass-kicking.

Joke: Adam is gay and couldn’t get off in episode one because he wasn’t attracted to Aimee

Woke: Adam is bi/pan because he DID get off with Aimee after he overcame his performance anxiety but is still also attracted to guys

Muslim brothers and sisters

So I found this app called Scan Halal where you scan the bar code of your food and it tells you if its halal or not. It’s a free app too. Pass this on so others can see and worry a little less about their food/snack choices

tbh when Jameela Jamil was calling these celebrities the fuck out and she said “How much money do you need? Really how much money do you need? How much money do any of these huge influencers who are worth millions or billions sometimes… How much more?” i felt that in my bones

When she called the Kardashians “double agents for the patriachry” for profiting off a patriarchal narrative and selling women self consciousness, I felt that on a spiritual level.

btw, I deleted my commissions post bc. idk. no one rlly cared lmao, and I know you guys were getting tired of seeing it. so just a heads up, I’d still be down to draw stuff for people/rake your yard/paint your walls, etc, and my paypal is still https://www.paypal.me/tinygoblin if anyone is feeling generous.

But I won’t reblog this post, and the old one is deleted. This is my last post on the subject.

Thanks!

OK SO I LIED. I’M FACING HOMELESSNESS NOW AND KINDA NEED MONEY MORE THAN EVER SO I DONT.

YKNOW.

DIE.

anyways literally a dollar will help pls reblog this at the leAST. i am actually begging you. please.

i’ve been thinking, you know, about my body as a porn category. i am r rated, not for kids, meant to exist behind closed doors, my poems for adults only the moment i write about my girlfriend. when i was a kid i heard my dad say fuck when he dropped a box on his toe and when i asked my mom what it meant she said only grownups get to say that word. a year later a girl in the school play accused another of being a lesbian and the director had a talk with us about inappropriate language in the dressing rooms.

I’ve just been thinking about it, the things you can get away with. i think i was fifteen before i saw someone like me and the movie was rated r. i turned it off after the first twenty minutes. i didn’t like how the camera watched, the hunter and its prey, how i was the hunter too by association.

that was the year i said the word out loud for the first time without feeling it drip down my spine, without the aftertaste that used to linger on my teeth, and i said it quiet in case anyone was listening but i still said it. it didn’t taste of slime anymore. my friend once kissed her girlfriend outside a bookstore and someone told her that was something you just shouldn’t do in public. not in front of the children. did you know you can make a movie as bloodstained as you like but until a character says fuck twice it’s still pg-13. i’ve just been thinking about that, how my identity lines up with a swear word.

i don’t know. did you know i once got a dm asking me to tag one of my posts nsfw, make it only for those over eighteen. when i asked which one they meant they linked my story about kissing a girl for the first time.

i’ve just been thinking. sometimes i turn off my ad block when i stream shows and women with acrylic nails moan into the camera, white and glittering. i close the tab. when i touched a girl for the first time i couldn’t stop shaking. my sister kisses her boyfriend in front of his parents and no one thinks anything of it. i still flinch every time i hold a girl’s hand in public.

it’s just that i still use pinterest like i’m a middle aged mom or something and i searched the word lesbian once and it came up with a content warning. it’s just that i was ten the first time i heard the word on the radio and watched it drip down the dashboard like spoiled milk. later i asked my friend what it meant and she wrinkled her nose at me. i don’t know. i still try to avoid the word, how it sometimes snags on the edge of my breath, somehow naughty and illicit and dirty, not for children, not safe for work. 

i still hear it sometimes. don’t be so loud about it, don’t talk about that on such a nice day, don’t write about her and expect anyone to read it. this is not for children, not for in public, not for my poems or my family or my vote or this world, not safe for work, not something to be discussed over dinner.

fuck this. i’m a lesbian, which makes this inappropriate for anyone under eighteen.

Listen my dudes Ancient Egypt existed for a really fuckass long time. Literally just Pharaonic civilization lasted 3,000 years. That’s not even including predynastic civilization and Roman rule. If you lump that in you’re looking at more like… 5,000 years. Like. If you want a comparison of how long that is: THE YEAR IS CURRENTLY 2018. TWO THOUSAND. TWO-THIRDS OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN PHARAONIC CIVILIZATION HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THE ‘BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST’ We comparatively just entered the Third Intermediate Period. The Greeks will not take over for another 700~ years. Cleopatra will not be born until the year 2931.

It’s a really long time guys.

Anyway look. Listen. I sat my ass down and wrote out a timeline of “when shit happened if you started at 1AD” because I know backwards numbers are hard to process but here’s an abridged version. If the first Egyptian Pharaoh came to power in 1AD then…

300: step pyramid built 450: Great Pyramid at Giza built 815: Pepi II dies and civil war breaks out 950: Egypt re-unified 1350: Middle Kingdom ends 1450: New Kingdom begins 1520: Hatshepsut is on the throne 1650: Ahkenaten switches to monotheistic religion and builds a new city 1680: Tutankhamun dies 1720: Ramesses II ‘the great’ ascends to the throne 1740: World’s first peace treaty signed 1790: Ramesses II dies leaving way too many children 1920: Egypt breaks into 2 states again And now we get to ~~~~the future~~~~. If we started at 1AD all of this stuff hasn’t happened yet 2050: Briefly re-united as a single state 2180: Civil war 2250: Nubian kings take over 2335: Assyrian conquest 2665: Alexander the Great conquers Egypt 2930: Cleopatra VII born 2970: Cleopatra VII dies. Egypt falls to Rome. Fin.

And that’s just starting with the Pharaohs. If you wanted to start with Predynastic Egypt, you can go ahead and ADD ONE THOUSAND YEARS to all of those dates

I hate that this is still getting notes but that it’s getting notes *without the timeline addition* like c’mon, man. I had to do MATHS for this. I DID MATHS FOR YOU PEOPLE AND ALL I GOT WAS A BUNCH OF RACISTS
