🥺🥺😭 “You should hear the prayers that Blanket says. He's so sweet. You should hear what he says. He tells me I'm such a great dad. And he thanks God that he has me for a dad. And he says that every night. And it's such a gift. It just melts my heart.”
“Michael visited a school for blind children at which he passed out toys and gifts, and left a donation of $100,000. A spokeswoman at the facility said, "The children don't know him as a pop star; to them he is just a very nice man who came here to offer hope.”
idc if i'm not brazilian, i care about my brazilian moots, i care about the the country that contains most of the amazon, the country with the largest economy in latam, i care about those fuckers not winning there.
what happens in brazil concerns us all.
A bodyguard treated Michael’s fans aggressively and meanly, and even tried to have them arrested. When Michael heard about this, he spoke to the fans, apologized in tears, and promised that he would resolve the situation. The bodyguard was fired.
That racist terrorist shot this little girl 8 times, wounded four others and killed one man for being Black, and now she'll have psychological and physical trauma for the rest of her life.
Her mother has created a fundraiser to help with medical treatment and rehabilitation.
Rest in power to Pengo Bossio Wangi, who was killed in a white supremacist attack in France that also left a 12 yr old girl in a hijab and others injured. The gunman was targeting “Blacks and Arabs.”
Down with these fascist scum!
This is the solidarity that the Anglo-American world lacks. Young ppl, anti-fascists, anti-capitalists, pro-Pal, anti-racist ppl all converging, united in solidarity to push back and say no to their capitalist pig governments & also say no to far-right movements.
As The Wiz turns 48, here’s what Michael saw in the Scarecrow:
“I auditioned for the part of the Scarecrow because I thought his character best fit my style.”
But Michael saw more in the Scarecrow than a character that suited his style.
“Everybody thinks he’s very special, but, really, he’s very sad. He’s so, so sad. Do you understand his sadness?”
Michael loved the Scarecrow since childhood. In 1978, he said:
“I always fell in love with the scarecrow. I think most kids do ’cause you feel sorry for him and everything and his character, and I always watched him.”
The Scarecrow thinks he has no brain, even though he keeps coming up with clever ideas. The crows keep telling him he’s stupid until he starts believing them.
Michael once said, “Tell a lie long enough, people believe.” It’s hard not to think of the Scarecrow when you hear that. He’s judged by what others tell him he is, not by what he actually is. Michael knew what it was like to have people believe things about him that had little to do with the person he really was.
In a 1977 conversation with Timothy White, Michael explained what he saw in the character:
“There are so many smart people walking around that don’t know they’re smart, don’t believe in themselves.”
He went on to explain that the Scarecrow is a smart guy who simply doesn’t realize it. The brain he thinks he’s missing has been there all along.
Years later, while chatting with Brett Ratner in 2004, Michael put it this way:
“I don’t care if the whole world is against you or teasing you or saying you’re not gonna make it. Believe in yourself. No matter what.” 💫
I just want kids safe, loved, supported, clothed, fed, housed, educated, and alive. Healthy as possible. Globally. Any child suffering from preventable death, disease, pain, and circumstance is a moral failure of society and every person able to help that doesn’t.
Im so sick of this "but Yanghcen" did argument when it comes to Aang. Yangchen was well disliked in her time period by people who actually had to deal with her, the Air Nuns exasperated, World leaders hated having to deal with her, the Northern Temple BANNED HER FOR LIFE
Michael's back injury in his own words, as described by Dr. Van Valin II (AEG Deposition)
threaded review of pain treatment🧶🐈⬛
That pain was so horrible he almost fainted yet he got up to finish the 1999 MJ & Friends, Munich
I have committed to a monthly donation myself, but she needs a community around her. If just 5 or 10 people can commit to $10 or $20 a month, it will make a massive difference in her survival and legal fight.
Please share this. If you can’t donate, sharing it puts it in front of someone who can. Thank you ❤️
