I have seen this picture cross my feed many times, and every single time it pulls me up short. His little blue lunchbox, the sneakers that are probably a tad too big because he would grow into them, the straps for his glasses so that he didn’t lose them, his checkered shirt that his little hands might have stumbled over in trying to make sure he got every button right, or perhaps his mother bent down to help him with; his mother who he waves goodbye to, who he loved and who loved him so deeply.
keep coming back to this image and you can tell he’s so loved like someone chose those clothes and those shoes and packed his bag and gave him his bottle and kissed him goodbye and fixed his glasses and he was so cherished but the world is so cruel im so crushed
Homelessness should make you uncomfortable, not because someone you don’t know is making you uncomfortable on a train for 20 minutes, but because we exist in a society that is so willing to let people suffer without any support system day after day until they die.
These penguin and monkey videos have sure exposed how indoctrinated white folks are and how they are able to easily ignore human trauma. It’s how they are able to commit atrocities without a second thought.
the same way people mobilized for alex pretti and renee good, people need to mobilize & be outraged for LINDA DAVIS. her name DESERVES to be said. her story DESERVES to be told.
ICE got this woman killed and offered her no help. they do not exist to protect. they exist to kill.
I have learned so much from this one disability/ALS activist (IG: limpbroozkit) who was diagnosed in her 30s with ALS (slow progression). She is the funniest person online and is so beautiful and sweet. If you'd like to support continued research into ALS, follow her and donate to the causes on her page.
