I LOVE Tumblr! 😂😂😂😂

One of the best parts of having a toddler in your life that can navigate YouTube is they find some wild shit

i urge my fellow brits to email their local mp telling them to urge parliament to stop exports of tear gas, rubber bullets, and other items the american police force are using against the protestors, and so on and so forth to the usa.

i will delete racist replies on this :)

A black girl will be spending years in jail because she had a mental health crisis. PLEASE READ

Meet Sarya: she was experiencing a mental health crisis. Police came and tackled her. She is 15.

Saraya Rees is a 15 year old biracial girl from Coos County, Oregon. After being abruptly instructed to stop taking her antidepressants by a local pediatrician, Saraya went into psychosis. In her manic state, Saraya poured a small amount of gasoline on the floor. Her parents called Coos Health & Wellness in hope that that would send mental health advisors, Coos Health & Wellness sent the police. While still in psychosis, the officers arrested her, questioned her without her family or lawyers present, charged with attempted murder and assault, and sent her to juvenile prison for 11 years.

This is not justice.

This is inhumane.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP:

Call these people and demand that she be let go to the custody in her parents.

Please call Governor Kate Brown and Senator Jeff Merkely.⁠

A Spanish film company is gonna release this big pile of YIKES next year and well.... YIKES.

This El-Dorado rip-off is supposed to be a retelling of Spain's conquest of the Philippines... but seems to portray the colonizers as the good guys while the one king who saw right through their crap and fought back would be the bad guy.

Here's the thing. When the Spaniards came, most of the tribes welcomed them. But there was one who was suspicious. Lapu Lapu, the king of Mactan island. He distrusted the colonizers. Saw them as conqerors using the Filipinos' hospitality as their ticket in. He fought back and killed Magellan and stalled their reach to Mindanao.

Lapu Lapu was right. Once they were in, the Spaniards brought 300 years of subjugation and exploitation to the island. Yeah, sure. Filipinos had a lot of in-fighting (like every other society) before they came. But what the Spaniards did was shit on a large scale. Our culture virtually destroyed because Christianity. Priests raped a lot of women. Men were treated like second class citizens. Women were treated like slaves. Women enjoyed more freedom during the precolonial era.

I'm not one to judge a movie before it comes out. But this is worrying. Even if they stay true to history, they could credit Lapu-Lapu's heroism to the Flyn Rider knock-off in typical White Savior™️ fashion. I seriously hope I'm wrong and they do deliver and present the colonizers as the two-faced opportunists they were. But even then, I can already see some problems. Like:

After ruling us for 300 years, you'd think they'd remember what we actually look like. DEFINITELY NOT LIKE THIS!!!

Moana's right there!!! They could've copied characters off of that instead of characters from El Dorado for fuck's sake!!!! And why the hell is the king of Cebu, which is just off the coast of Mactan, PALE!!! Glutathione didn't exist back then!!!! WTF?!

My country's real suspicious about this movie. They plan to check it thoroughly before releasing it in local theaters. If necessary, ban it. I'm not gonna judge people if they choose to watch.

But please. Whatever this movie's spin is going to be, it is important to know the truth about this part of our history before going in to see it. Lapu Lapu is a hero. The Spaniards are conquerors who brought 300 years of suffering when the Filipinos let them in.

What’s the difference between a police officer and a bullet?

When a bullet kills someone else, you know it’s been fired

Wait what's a buildings fire evacuation plan if you aren't supposed to use the elevator to get down
