Meet Sarya: she was experiencing a mental health crisis. Police came and tackled her. She is 15.
Saraya Rees is a 15 year old biracial girl from Coos County, Oregon. After being abruptly instructed to stop taking her antidepressants by a local pediatrician, Saraya went into psychosis. In her manic state, Saraya poured a small amount of gasoline on the floor. Her parents called Coos Health & Wellness in hope that that would send mental health advisors, Coos Health & Wellness sent the police. While still in psychosis, the officers arrested her, questioned her without her family or lawyers present, charged with attempted murder and assault, and sent her to juvenile prison for 11 years.
This is not justice.
This is inhumane.
My community has been devastated by Hurricane Hanna on top of soaring covid cases. Contrary to what people on "Good Morning America" think, this was not a *good spot" for the hurricane to hit. Our region is often ignored by most of America but I'm asking for your help on behalf of a classmate. Any help would be appreciated, please boost if you cant donate.

11. You can speak to animals but they don't listen to you
The things I think up whenever I take a shower are strange, but I just had to write this down.
—————
1. You can time travel, but only when you sneeze. Imagine having allergies.
2. Laser eyes but you can never turn them off.
3. Laser eyes (the laser pointer type), and you can never turn them off. Imagine looking at someone in the eye and blinding them, or checking someone out and they wonder why there are two dots of light pointed at their chest.
4. Shape shifting but your’re stuck in Europe during the medieval era.
5. You can levitate but only when you sleep.
6. Go through solid objects, but you don’t know when. You can be sleeping on your bed on the top floor of a building and wake up inside the building’s basement.
7. You can find lost things easily but when you lose something, you will never find it again even if someone else found it for you.
8. No matter what you eat or drink, your body will stay physically healthy. Problem is, you’re always hungry and thirsty and you’re not satisfied by anything you eat or drink.
9. You can see the future but you can’t tell anyone what will happen.
10. You’re an immortal being. You’ve been sentenced for life in jail.

Cops murdered a black girl in Toronto this week too but Canadians are too up their own asses about how we’re “Not the racist ones! That’s only America! We’re the nice ones :)” to acknowledge it or do anything about it
I gave it my best shot! I couldn't find any scars under the left eye but whatever.

WARNING: The fanfic I will be reviewing is highly racist, anti-semitic, Islamophobic, and all-around despicable. It is the intolerant rantings of an alt-right white nationalist and if you are easily made uncomfortable by any of the ideas listed above, I highly suggest you not read this whatsoever.
The actual summary provided by the author is as follows: “Our world as we know it no longer exists - Europe is devastated and ruined by cruel civil war between White Europeans and Islamic invaders. But the brave European nations N. Italy, Hungary, Austria and Poland, with Russia’s help, unite and fight to protect Europe from the NWO and Terrorism.”
For real. You think that the Hetalia fandom can’t get any worse, and then it throws this at you. I know that we don’t have the best reputation- and I could even argue that our reputation is unwarranted- but this… this is a new low.
So, yeah. Read at your own risk.

“Each time I leaped I seemed to touch the sky, and when I regained earth it seemed to be mine alone.” - Josephine Baker
Tumblr Creatr @Rose contributed this original work based on today’s prompt celebrating the iconic Josephine Baker. The American-born world renowned Black bisexual dancer, actress, singer, civil rights champion, and WWII French resistance agent rose to fame in the 1920s and quickly became one of the most famous entertainers in her adopted home of France. Pablo Picasso and Earnest Hemingway were also huge fans.
The artist told us a little about why Baker inspires her:
“Josephine Baker was hailed as ‘The Black Venus’ by fellow artists of her time. Though she fled the oppression she faced in America in 1925 to live the majority of her life in France, she returned often to fight for civil rights, speaking alongside Martin Luther King Jr. at the March on Washington. Now more than ever, it is vital to lift up queer Black lives and histories, and Josephine’s is one of pure resilience, love, and absolute joy”
We’re excited to see your favorite LGBTQIA+ historical figures too ♥️
