I forgot my tumblr password and lost access to the email I registered with many moons ago. So before I accidentally get logged out, I’m taking the opportunity to migrate over here. Please follow and reblog so all my peeps can find me.
Last chance to follow the new blog before I log out of this one forever.

1. I tried to log in to tumblr.com but it forced me to reset my password. 2. The reset link went to a burner email account I don’t remember the password to because I haven’t logged in in about 4yrs. 3. I attempted to regain access to that email but failed. 4. I’m still logged into the app thankfully,but you can’t change your linked email from the app. 5. I emailed tumblr customer service and got a useless form email in reply. 6. The email says to reply if thst didn’t address my concern, and an actual human would read it. 7. The email has a glitch and I can’t reply.
So basically if I suddenly disappear, it’s because I got logged out of the app and will never be able to return.
I am about to set up a new tumblr. Stay tuned for the link.
Yesterday, he simply tweeted, "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" He knows exactly what that implies, and it is disgusting.
raise your hand if you don’t give a fuck if we DID remove monuments of george washington’s hypocritical slave-owning ass
“It’s about zombies and racism,” Ireland says. “Jane grows up on a plantation. There’s a law that when you’re 12, you have to go to combat school. It’s only for Negro and Native kids. All Jane wants to do is finish her education and go home. She doesn’t want to be part of society… but then people start going missing, and she’s caught in the middle of this conspiracy. Like Odysseus, everything goes wrong, and everything conspires against her.“A nation divided, politics, and oh yeah — zombies. I know what you’re thinking, but this novel is not about the current White House administration. Dread Nation by Justina Ireland, out April 2018 from Balzer + Bray, is a novel set in post-Reconstruction America… with one big twist: the entire country is beset by a plague of zombies that have risen from Civil War battlefields. The novel isn’t out until next year, but Bustle has the exclusive cover reveal below — and it is stunning.
“I wrote [Dread Nation] many moons ago, after I read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies,” Justina Ireland tells Bustle. “Sure, you have well-to-do white women fighting, but it didn’t seem realistic. It would’ve been black women fighting in the streets.”
That train of thought led her to an idea — what about a school for black and Native girls who train in the art of combat to kill the swarms of undead that populate their country? That idea proved to be the beginning of this book.
“It’s about zombies and racism,” Ireland says. “Jane grows up on a plantation. There’s a law that when you’re 12, you have to go to combat school. It’s only for Negro and Native kids. All Jane wants to do is finish her education and go home. She doesn’t want to be part of society… but then people start going missing, and she’s caught in the middle of this conspiracy. Like Odysseus, everything goes wrong, and everything conspires against her.”
I am definitely buying this.

THIS CHILD LMFAOOOOO
Jharna Joshi, a 22-year-old college student from Ahmedabad in the Indian state of Gujarat, helped rescue 111 child labourers from one of the biggest ceramic factories in Morbi, Gujarat.
She followed {several} buses {of children} and discovered that it led to a factory unit of Sonaki, a company that manufactures ceramic utensils.
Unsure of the ages of the children working in the factory, she decided to apply for a job at the factory to find out the ages of the labourers and the kind of conditions they were working under.
Working in the pasting and design department, Jharna soon found out that most of the labourers were below 18 years of age. She also noticed that they worked very long hours and were often deprived of food and water. They also weren’t allowed breaks to rest during their shifts.
Horrified, Jharna sent a report to the Department of Child Welfare within two weeks of working at the factory. The report, which contained details of the atrocities and inhuman conditions of the factory, lead to a raid where 111 children were rescued.
Officials from various departments, including the departments of social defence, police, labour, and employment, organized the raid. The Deputy Labour Commissioner of the area called the biggest ever rescue operation of child workers in Saurashtra. A hundred of these were underage girls.
The owner of the company as well as other factory officials were livid. After receiving several threats after the factory raid, she was attacked by two men, according to a report in The Quint.
Despite her injuries, Jharna remains undeterred. She said that she knows of more factories in the area that employ underage labourers, and has vowed to continue fighting against child labour practices.
