Those Poor Boys

“Those poor boys”

“She deserves to be punished too.”

“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”

“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”

“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”

It was just one ant!

Farewell online privacy

Hey friends, hope you are all well and safe. I’ve been posting info and resources in my instagram stories and on my twitter, but I know that that I have reach here on Tumblr also, so I am posting here too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s been heartbreaking to see the injustices that took place over the last few weeks: the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, followed by violent treatment of protestors. I live in Europe, but racism and police violence against people of color is not an ‘American problem.’ Racism thrives here and always has. In the Netherlands, people of color who are brave enough to demonstrate against racism have been vilified, bullied, and treated violently by police. Police violence has claimed black lives here too. These deaths, and the systemic racism that fueled them, are unacceptable. This is something that must be addressed directly, not derailed by shifting the focus to other subjects, not met with force or violence, and not ignored with silence. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s give momentum to those brave voices and organizations who are confronting injustice and racism head on. They are doing vital and important work that has a worldwide impact, and they need our support.  Here is an amazing overview, generously assembled by @dehyedration, which links to a variety of different resources. Please take a look and consider helping in any way you can!

cops need to quit their jobs if they want to show solidarity.
