“Last week, Moss Point teacher Jovan Bradshaw posted a photo to Facebook that went viral. Now she’s using that momentum in hopes of raising money to teach her students more about Black History Month. …”
#BlackHistoryEveryMonth
“Dear students,” the door read. “They didn’t steal slaves. They stole scientists, doctors, architects, teachers, entrepreneurs, astronomers, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, etc, and made them slaves. Sincerely, your ancestors.”
Here’s my advice to everyone who thinks that the election will be so fraudulent that it won’t matter, who thinks 45 will not cede power, etc, etc:
Vote so that the history books know it was fraudulent. -
Vote so the contemporary world knows it’s fraudulent. -
Vote so that he is actually committing the crime, and not just attempting it but winding up not needing to. -
Vote not because you like Joe Biden (ew), but because the establishment as it stands will take low votes against 45 as approval. Vote to communicate the crime that is happening in the most severe degree. Vote so that if he pulls some bullshit, it has to be the most obviously illegal bullshit possible.
These are not just talking points. These are steps to make action against a fraudulent government, if it happens, easier. To make it possible. To make the public understand.

Don’t have spoilers to give if I wanted to, but in case other people’s cinemas aren’t as up on this, apparently Spider-Man: Far From Home has a sequence that’s risky to those with photosensitive epilepsy. May report further later.
On June 12th, the rescue ship Sea Watch 3 headed by captain Carola Rackete rescued 53 refugees from a sinking rubber boat in the Mediterranean. By international sea law, rescuing those in peril at sea and bringing them to a safe port is the duty of every captain at sea. However, every port flaunted that law and refused to accept the refugees. Sea Watch 3 was left at sea with no place to go.
Italy, the nearest port and duty bound to accept the refugees, denied the ship entry and even hastily implemented a new decree of
the interior ministry threatening Sea-Watch with absurd fines and
criminal prosecution.
Sea Watch 3 stayed at sea for 2 weeks, during which the condition or 10 of the refugees deteriorated so far that they were taken off by medical transports in a state of immediate emergency. It looked as if this situation would continue indefinitely, until every refugee was near death and finally qualified for rescue by medical transports.
On June 26th, the captain,
Carola Rackete
declared a state of emergency on behalf of the people on board and her ship entered Italian waters, heading for the port of Lampedusa. After 60 hours waiting for someone to heed their calls for help, she was told that she would not be allowed to enter and that criminal prosecution against her was being pursued.
In the early hours of June 29th,
Carola Rackete
decided to save the lives of those on board by taking Sea Watch into the port of Lampedusa, accepting the consequences this might have for her own life and freedom. After 17 days, the refugees on board are safe, and the person who saved their life is under arrest.
Every single volunteer at Sea Watch was a hero long before this day. Together the roughly 500 people that have worked on Sea Watch ships have saved approximately 40.000 lives. They could have saved many more if European stated hadn’t consistently stopped them from doing their work, criminalizing sea rescue more and more within the last year.
Carola’s arrest after her heroic act of defiance to bring people to safety opens up another chapter in the criminalization of rescue at sea.
If there was a way to run SUPER MEGA AD BLOCKER on this website I fucking would
“Please oh please open up your computer to a porn virus! If you don’t you’re evil!”
Freeloader Comin’ through!
We didn’t start this war internet users have with ads - We might have moaned about banner ads, but it was only when they started making noises when we might be listening to music or a podcast or whatever, causing two sound sorces at once, that we started trying to block ads universally rather than just a specific type of ad (pop ups).
And since then ads have gotten worse - Actual malware rather than merely breaking one of the fundamental sins of web design - though shalt not autoplay anything with sound. And the more aggressive a website is with ‘please turn off adblock’ the less I trust it to bother to vet ads and advertisers to make sure they’re not installing malware.
Not to mention that the idea that avoiding ads is “freeloading” is hilariously backward. Advertisement is a transaction between the platform and the advertiser, the user has no obligation to provide the views/clicks the platform has promised. Using an adblocker isn’t freeloading in the same way that leaving the room to get a snack during a commercial break isn’t cheating the tv network.
Ok y’all, I work as a web developer and I’m here to tell you that you are 100% right and that it’s shit. SO I’m going to tell you how to get around websites that block you from using their website if you’re using an adblocker.
Every website uses a language called JavaScript; long story short it’s a website language that allows developers to do the crazy shit you see on websites. Now the easiest thing to do is to disable JavaScript to stop them from knowing you have an adblocker:
Oh no! I’m blocked from viewing the website. It would be a terrible shame if I were able to right click and select the “inspect” feature
Click the three dots in the top right and open the “Settings” Menu
And then scrolled down to “Debugger” and checked the “Disable Javascript Option”
Give me a Harry Potter who can’t sleep. Not just because he dreams of Voldemort. Give me Harry Potter who startles awake at every stray noise in the dorm, every creaking floor and cough, who wakes with a gasp ready to hear Aunt Petunia’s screech. Ready to be yanked out of bed, put to work or punished.
Give me a Harry Potter who is nervous to take too much food in the dining hall, who keeps automatically picking up his plate when he’s done, ready to clear and clean it before he remembers, embarrassed, that it isn’t his job anymore.
Give me a Harry who makes himself small and silent when he knocks something over. Harry who tries desperately to clean a spill before Mrs. Weasley sees it, who apologizes profusely when she finds him, who can’t help but tear up when she disappears it with a wave of her wand and chuckles as she reassured him no mess will ever compare to her twins.
Give me a Harry working to overcome a decade of abuse and neglect. Give me a Harry with ptsd not just from major moments of trauma, but complex-ptsd from years of consistent neglect and emotional abuse.
