please keep spreading awareness as you see these things happen in hawai’i. kanaka maoli (native hawaiians) do not get as much recognition for their efforts in protecting their history as much as mainland indigenous people do. what is happening in the hawaiian islands is horrible
⚠️ URGENT ⚠️

Killmonger Locs — COUNT YOUR DAYS!
I’m currently developing a low poly, kinky strand generator that mimics how black hair ACTUALLY behaves 🙂↕️
Making locs and kinky hair look non-uniform is no longer a painful job & a style can be made in <30mins!

The Sudanese woman in the pink hijab said:
“I say this to the Muslim leaders: Stay in your castles, wear our hijabs, and hand over your weapons. We deserve them more than you. You are cowards, sitting on the thrones built from the bones of the children of Gaza”
I hate that as a Black woman, no one takes us serious when we try to communicate frustration/pain in a calm manner. Why do ppl wait til we have to LITCHRALLY crash out and get upset for ppl to finally understand we mean business??? IT SHOULDNT HAVE TO GET THAT FAR
“I don’t understand why women don’t just report it if it really happened.”
When I was 19, I reported mine. I had bruises. Hospital photos. Text messages of him apologizing the next morning. My friends drove me to the station because I could barely stop shaking. I thought evidence would make it simple. I thought truth would be enough.
Months later, I was the one on trial. His lawyer printed my Instagram photos and held them up in court. Asked why I wore crop tops. Asked why I drank that night. Asked why I didn’t scream louder. He replayed my police interview and pointed out every time I hesitated, every time I cried, every time my timeline wasn’t perfectly linear. “If it was traumatic,” he said, “why can’t she remember clearly?”
Sitting there while strangers debated my pain like it was a group project felt like being stripped again. My messages were projected on a screen. My body was described in detail. My character was picked apart like that was the real crime.
He walked out on bail. I walked out with panic attacks.
That’s why some women don’t report. Because even with bruises. Even with screenshots. Even when you do everything “right.” You still have to survive the assault twice, once in private, and once in public, just to maybe be believed.
i beg you all. while it's important to talk about Palestine and Iran, please don't ignore what's happening in congo. congo barely has any media coverage, we need to talk about it more.
Claudette Colvin, whose 1955 arrest for refusing to give up her seat on a segregated Montgomery bus helped spark the modern civil rights movement, has died. She was 86.
They didn’t just k!ll him. They cut up & dissolved his body in acid. His k!llers kept his tooth as a trophy and his family only got it 61yrs later. A tooth. Thats all they have left of him. Belgium does not get enough hate imo.
Why is no one talking about this? A hate crime that ended the life of a black trans activist and drag queen. Black Lives MATTER, Trans Rights are HUMAN Rights. May she rest in peace and power
This is Cherise Doyley.
She was 12 hours into labor when a nurse told her to cover up with a bedsheet.
Then a tablet appeared at her bedside.
On the screen: a judge. Lawyers. Hospital staff.
She hadn’t asked for a hearing. The hospital had.
Doyley is a professional birthing doula. She refused a C-section — she’d had three before, and one left her hemorrhaging. She knew the risks.
It didn’t matter.
And here’s the part people should pay attention to.
The state filed an emergency petition. She had minutes to prepare. No lawyer. No advocate.
A three-hour hearing. In the middle of active labor.
A judge decided how she would give birth.
This is the fetal personhood movement, fully realized.
And it’s already happening. To Black women. In Florida.
Read the full @ProPublica investigation.
“A judge decided how she would give birth.
That’s legal right now.
Should it be?

A black woman from Kenya disappeared in the UK and was found dead in a body of water.
Barely anyone reported on it.
No one is saying her name.
She’s being forgotten.
Melissa is doing incredible work to raise awareness about cases no one else will report on.
