JOANNA: He definitely comes across as serious in his pictures sometimes because he really didn’t enjoy having his picture taken a lot.
AUTUMN: Well, also he wouldn’t rarely choose the smiling ones. I would try to get him to pick one—“That one’s so good”—and he would say, “I’m sorry, Autumn, I just, I don’t think it’s tough enough, It’s a nice photo though.” [LAUGHING]
SEAN: Ohh, that’s so Elliott.

the fact it’s been 3 years since grenfell tower tragedy. i remember going past the shell a month or so after it happened and seeing the empty shell where many people lost their lives.
if you don’t know about grenfell, you should read up on it. a tower block burnt to the ground three years ago in london, leaving 72 people dead (though this number might be higher.) due to cladding that had been applied to make the tower block more sightly for the area. majority of the people living there were black and poc. a lot of neglect led up to this tragedy and the residents paid for it. probably one of the worst tragedy’s to come out of the UK since the war.
it’s harrowing. couple of things to remember:
- the tragedy was due to gentrification, classism and structural racism.
- not to mention safety neglect. Grenfell did not have sprinklers in the building. the leader of the kensington borough had said that putting sprinklers in the building would delay refurbishment. (😪)
- important to remember that a majority of the residents were black/poc and refugees and working class.
- the cladding used on the building was £22 per square metre. fireproof cladding was £24 per square meter. that £2 difference could have made a difference. the cheaper option was used. £2 more was too expensive to use for these residents lives? appalling.
- 300 tower blocks still use this flammable cladding today. that’s estimated 23,000 families/households. (tory) government said they’d work on removing flammable cladding from these buildings when the tragedy happened. three years later were still waiting...
- previous Grenfell residents are still waiting to be rehoused and are still in temporary housing three years later.
- 72 deaths occured from this tragedy but there are still people unaccounted for
- it’s been three years and there is still no justice for these people and nobody has been held accountable. truly atrocious.
i will see if there’s any petitions/donation sites that i will compile in the next few hours. i’ll reblog them and they’ll be in the notes.
