Talking To One Of The Most Haunted Dolls In History, Known For Mayhem And Injury, Being Threatened To

Protesting works: don’t let it die

Reminder to not give up, you are bringing about change.

List of positives to come out of the recent protests as of June 4:

- George Floyd’s murderer charged with murder and manslaughter, then had charges increased, then the officers that watched it happen were charged with aiding and abetting

- Louisville police (Breonna Taylor’s murderers) department will now be under review from an outside agency, which will include review on training, bias-free policing and accountability. (Unfortunately her killers have still not faced charges yet as far as I could find.)

- Charges are to be dropped for Kenneth Walker

- Atlanta has announced plans to create a task force + public database to track police brutality in metro Atlanta area

- Minneapolis city council members are considering disbanding police force in favor of a “community-oriented, nonviolent public safety and outreach capacity”

- Colorado lawmakers have introduced an incredible police reform bill that includes body cam laws, repealing the “fleeing felon” statute, banning chokeholds, and more

Feel free to add more if you know of more!

We need this forest to breath you dumbass politicians

About the Amazon Rainforest

Hey guys! I don’t usually bring that kind of thing to my blog, because I’m aiming to keep it as drama, negativity and politically free as I can.

But I do think, as Brazilian, that remaining silent about my rain forest becoming charcoal and dust would be a complete disservice.

I’m not going to share any news, articles or anything of the like. You guys can grab it by simply doing a quick Google search. What I’m here for is to make it clear: despite this being an absolute tragedy, the Government’s lack of action is expected.

Our country is in political chaos. We’re not only ignoring the Environment, but also Education, Healthcare, and several other important areas. We’re facing a year of hate, mistrust and hurt. Most of us are tired, disheartened and hopeless. The rates of suicide - specially among young people and LGBT people - are increasing at alarming rate.

I wish I could tell you how to help us. But besides spreading awareness, I don’t know. We are fighting, be damn sure we are. But please, don’t let your countries fall victim to the same ignorance and hate we have.

If voting isn’t mandatory where you live, still give it a long thought and consider voting. When you don’t use your voice through that, you’re allowing other people to decide the fate of your country. Don’t buy the opinions of others and don’t let yourself be influenced by the media: research, study and compare your candidates. And most importantly: before thinking only about how things affect you, think about the people who have less to none privileges and struggle more with the system than you do.

Think about your fellow human beings with love. People are not numbers.

As for my beloved Floresta Amazônia… My heart bleeds. I know very well what we’re losing, and it’s irreplaceable.

Y'all are high high

This is a great idea for so many reasons.

It is true,tbh.

Good for you my dude

So as of July 9th, the Trump Administration has overturned environmental protection laws in Alaskan reserves, which includes allowing:

use bait including donuts and grease-soaked bread to draw in and kill brown bears;

use artificial lights to enter dens and kill black bears, including females and their cubs;

shoot caribou while they are swimming; and

trap and kill wolves and their pups during denning season

here’s one petition I’ve found about this, and I’ll be looking for more resources. Please circulate this so this information is well-known, because they’ve been sneakily messing with a LOT of environmental laws and practices

2. educate yourself

it isn’t enough to sign petitions and reblog/retweet/etc. nonblack people, including people of color, owe it to black people to educate themselves and correct themselves and the people around them on anti-blackness.

note: more links are in the masterposts linked below.

3. give out supplies to protestors

people need supplies to protest safely, and even if they bring supplies with them, they can often run out. if you’re able, stock up and hand them out to people protesting. for more supplies to donate, see the “george floyd action” google docs link in section 5.

water bottles (dehydration and heatstroke are not things people should have to deal with alongside bastard cops. if the police in your area are particularly violent or known to use tear gas, get the ones with the sports cap/suction-thing/etc so people can use them as emergency eye-flushes.)

snacks (make sure to take into account that people have allergies of all sorts. foods will have a little label that says “may contain” and then list any potential allergens. write the allergens on the ziploc (or any container you use) in permanent marker, or better yet, write the snacks included in the pack.)

masks (don’t forget there’s still a pandemic going on. also it will aid in deterring facial recognition when the police try to track down protestors,  also part two, if the cops use tear gas, wearing a mask (with the combination of a scarf or bandana) will lessen the adverse effects. lessen, not stop.)

bandanas, scarves, etc. and goggles (ski goggles, swimming goggles, etc.) (see above for explanation on the scarves. same goes for the goggles. anti–tear gas and anti–facial recognition.)

clean shirts (for people who are heavily gassed. also helps deter recognition through clothing.)

wound care supplies (band-aids, packets of neosporin packets or a similar antibiotic, alcohol wipes, etc.; if you can, decant bactine into those little travel bottles.)

a sharpie or another type of marker (for writing bail numbers or emergency contacts on arms, hands, etc. it’s not enough to have your city’s bail fund number stored on your phone; the police won’t give it to you to look it up. give people a marker so they can write it down, preferably not washable so it isn’t easily removed.)

IMPORTANT: KNOWING FIRST AID

tear gas: if you’re hit, get out as fast and as soon as you can. take anyone you can with you. the longer you’re in the gas, the harder it will be for you to see, and it can irritate your airways, making it hard to breathe. if you’re hit, don’t run; it’ll only make things worse on your lungs. when you leave the area, take a cold shower. don’t use hot water (it will only reactivate the agent); don’t bathe (it will only spread the CS around). (source 1) (source 2) (cdc fact sheet on tear gas)

move them to a clean and ventilated area where it’s as safe as possible.

ask them if they’re wearing contact lenses. have them remove it. if they’re wearing glasses, rinse it with water.

solution of half liquid antacid, half water. spray from the inside going out, with the head tilted back and slightly towards the side being rinsed. if they say it’s okay, open the eye slightly while doing this. (source)

bullet wounds: the most important thing is to stop the bleeding. be sure to check for an exit wound and cover that as well. treat both wounds, but treat the worse one first.

making a tourniquet (a commercial tourniquet is best, but improvised ones can work as well if done properly; the most important things to remember is that tourniquets are for limb injuries and are not meant for the head or torso and that they have to be very tightly wound on the injury.)

4. be a source of information

be responsible with this. people’s lives are at stake. that being said, the media is a fucking joke and the best way to get accurate information in a grassroots rebellion is amongst ourselves. record everything, but if you are going to share any information at all, be sure to blur people’s faces.

NUMBERS TO CALL FOR ARRESTED PROTESTORS (ALPHABETICAL ORDER; SOURCES LINKED TO THE NUMBER)

remember to keep phones OFF unless absolutely necessary. cell phone towers, stingrays, location notifs can all be used to track you and other protestors. don’t fuck around. if your phone must be on, keep it on airplane mode as often as possible and only communicate using encrypted methods. no, snapchat doesn’t count. (a twitter thread on stingrays, for those interested)

also, if you’re protesting, change your passcode. make it at least 11 characters long and don’t use facial/thumb recognition.

She stops after she walks in on Merle in a hot pink wig singing the latest pop song in the bathroom

Lup makes wigs out of the crew members’ hair starting after a fireball (not her’s) burned Taako’s hair off one cycle. On one hand it’s very handy to just wear a wig instead of using a glamour spell but on the other, Davenport has to deal with everyone else just deciding they’re all wearing wigs at random (and seeing Merle wearing a long two-toned wig of Lup’s five cycles back)
