i really hope the lesson people take from elijah mcclain is not "its extra sad because he was so sweet"
but rather, "no amount of gentleness & respectability can protect a black person from the arbitrary wrath of police"
no one really talks about the lack of hygiene some people go through when they’re struggling with depression. if you’re going through it rn.....get out of bed and go take a shower. you’re not disgusting, you’re battling a mental illness. you deserve cleanliness.
