Brandon Bernard. Rest In Peace.

The system needs to change

cw // death

hi i don’t usually do this but i’d like to use the platform i have. if you haven’t heard, brandon bernard is dead— not from an accident, age, disease, but he was executed. it’s hard to believe, especially thinking about how so many people (including big name celebrities) spoke against his execution. his delay request was rejected and he was pronounced dead at 9:27 PM from lethal injection. can you think about this? he’s gone, no longer here for a crime he didn’t commit about a decade ago. he was extremely apologetic and calm during his final moments: “I’m sorry, that’s the only words that I can say that completely capture how I feel now and how I felt that day.” he was sentenced based on “the belief he would commit crimes in the future.” his case is very racially charged and he’s spent 20 years demonstrating change. we couldn’t save him. however, during our condolences, please take the time to help other people on the death row.

no one deserves death and even if in some impossible case that they did, the death penalty in the US is extremely flawed. thank you for your time

thank GOD we are talking about racism towards asians now because as a dark skinned south asian woman my only representation in western media is 1) the smart brown girl studying to become a doctor or 2) the brown girl with overbearing parents who want her to get an arranged marriage. and don’t you dare tell me that this only happens in movies or shows because i cannot count the number of times that white people have come up to me and asked me what medical schools i want to apply to since i was literally 12 years old.

my culture has been stolen by white people trying to be woke while i was shamed for being south asian as a child. the golden milk you find on every white girl’s youtube channel now is haldi doodh, and my ancestors have been drinking it for thousands of years. the bindis on white girls’ foreheads as they go to coachella have served as a target for racists to attack south asian women. but when i drink haldi doodh or wear a bindi, i get stares from white people trying to dehumanize me by calling me barbaric or “backwards.”

racism towards south asians is still around and something that we NEED to keep talking about if we want to see change happen.

today i learned that according to the New York Post, “Forty-two percent of women have experienced period-shaming, with one in five being made to have these feelings because of comments made by a male friend.” (x)

Watch: Nyle DiMarco reminds voters what’s at stake on election day for people with disabilities

[Nyle DiMarco signing] You can keep this ad muted if you want and keep scrolling past it. But if you’re still listening to my voice, please know that there are a lot of people out there without one. Among the 50 million Americans living with a disability, many don’t have the ability to work, to travel, or to do countless other things you might take for granted. So this November, please consider voting for the only candidate with a plan to change that.
