Comprehensive Thread Of Petitions + Donation Links In The Replies + Gofundme Directly From George Floyd’s

this tweet is such a perfect encapsulation of what the brain trust on twitter considers activism at this point, i swear to god

she was a child

she was a child trapped in a legendarily abusive studio contract where she was being pumped full of drugs and sexually abused by producers

what is the point? “think about this the next time you watch the wizard of oz”? and do what? this tweet is so pointless

not for nothing but she was also a lifelong advocate of the civil rights movement and held a whole press conference to denounce white supremacist terrorism after the 16th street baptist church bombing

there are politicians who did blackface in office right now

Just gotta get this out there; I really can't share with people's exitement about a Taika Waititi-directed Star Wars movie. I think he's great, but like, remember when Lord & Miller were fired by parted ways with Disney mid-filming because their version of Solo became "too comedic, too meta, too improv-heavy"? AKA, too "Lord & Miller? Like, these guys made 21 Jump Street, The Lego Movie, and went on to make Into the Spider-Verse! That's what their movies are like! AND, might I add, not too dissimilar from Waititi's directing style.

But no, I'm sure that Disney would be more than happy to give Taika Waititi free rein, and that his movie won't end up a written-by-committee, studio-interference-laden mess at best, or a completely different director's poor attempt at salvaging it into an unassuming and inoffensive tribute to our Disney-overlords at worst.

basically if youre in the place to educate yourself on these topics and you arent

a prison abolitionist,

a harm reductionist,

i really do not think your assertions of “ACAB” or “be gay do crimes” or “revolution” hold much weight

pres. trump sent federal troops into portland to squash the protests and they shot someone in the head with an impact round last night and shattered his skull. his blood is still on the sidewalk outside the federal courthouse. they are not like local cops and they are NOT fucking around. they carry ARs with live ammo and they are merciless. i am very sincerely scared that federal forces are going to instigate a kent state type situation by killing protesters as an example sometime between now & november and i am very scared it’s going to be here

you may not be able to control the plot of your life, or the characters in it, or even the genre, but you can control one thing: the soundtrack. grab some headphones and make it a banger.
