Guys!! Free HIV testing at all Walgreens on June 27th. Get tested!!! Know your status!!!!

If you don’t reblog this I’m going to assume that you are afraid to get tested so I’m just going to let you know that even if you’re positive, now you can get proper treatment! You aren’t alone either!! Get tested so you & your partners can be safe!! Please!!

This is only at select locations, FYI— there’s more information at the Walgreens website & at WE>AIDS, and you can find your closest participating Walgreens on both pages. There will also be counselors available on-site.

If there isn’t a Walgreens near you or you can’t make this date (or you aren’t in the US), there may still be other free HIV/AIDS testing services available elsewhere; if you are at risk of exposure or infection, it’s still worth looking into, even if this offer isn’t the one for you!

For those who don’t know much/anything about HIV or why you’d want to be tested for it, check out these links!

What Can I Expect When I Go in for an HIV Test?

Should I get tested for HIV?

And some basic history- A Timeline of HIV and AIDS

This is tomorrow! Mark your calendars!

White ppl's inability to read Black people's nonverbal cues shows their lack of interpersonal skills.

Cause Black people can damn well read theirs.

truly

Scientific fact, actually. Researchers at the University of Toronto Scarbrough found that White people’s neuron system fired less when viewing people of color performing actions, which indicates that they have an emotional disconnect when thinking about people of color; in essence they really don’t connect with us on a basic level of human empathy. (Source) The same people tested scored higher on a subtle racism test, as well.

Jesus

Reason why I don’t trust or fuck with white people proven by science.

There was actually a study done (if better science Tumblr wanna link the source that would be awesome) where they showed a Black person’s hand being tortured and a purple hand being tortured and measured the empathetic response and ppl actually had more empathy and a higher emotional response for a purple ass alien hand being tortured than a Black person’s hand smh

This is literally the basic underlying concept of what we mean when we say Black Lives Matter

allthecanadianpolitics: I’m not seeing much information or...

Tue, 26 Jun 2018 01:32:07 -0400

allthecanadianpolitics:

I’m not seeing much information or outrage about Orlando Brown (outside of social media), a Black Canadian man who apparently was killed by Barrie Police Officers who tasered him to death.
These are the only articles I could find, none of which name him or make it explicitly clear that a black man was killed by the police:
SIU investigating after man dies following arrest by Barrie police
Ontario man dead in police custody after Tasering
Friends of Barrie man who died after being Tasered on Friday shocked, upset
This is FUCKED UP:
Barrie police say the arrest took place at around 2:30 p.m. on Friday. Police have not confirmed the exact location of the ordeal.
They say the man was then taken to the Barrie Police station for processing where he went into “medical distress.” Paramedics provided first-aid at the station and transported him to Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre where he later died.
Family and friends have identified him as 32-year-old Orlando Brown.
A witness who captured video of the altercation on his cell phone later posted it on social media. The video has been viewed thousands of times.
The video appears to show the officers struggle with Brown while trying to arrest him near some trees between two buildings.
Throughout the video, the sound of a Taser being deployed could be heard before Brown is brought to the ground. An officer shouts “stop resisting” and “put your hands behind your back” while the others forcibly hold him on the ground.
Lance Freeman, who recorded the video, told CTV News Barrie that he watched the officers approach Brown while he was asleep near a bush.
“They asked him to see his ID and before he even had a chance to pull his ID out, the one guy just kicked him and the other started chasing him,” Freeman said.
He said he pulled out his cellphone when he saw one of the officers kick Brown “right in the temple.”
“Everybody was telling the cops to stop, that they were using force,” he said. “How do you expect someone to sit still when you’re Tasering him?”
Freeman claims he stopped recording when one of the officers pointed at him and said he was “next.”
Continued:
Barbara South, Brown’s aunt, said her nephew was a generous and loving person who has “never been aggressive.”
“Yes he goes off the track a little bit… nobody’s perfect, but he doesn’t have a mean bone in his body,” she said.
South believes Brown would have never died after his arrest if he was white.
“They de-escalate and they find ways to get to calm a situation without any violence when the person is white. But when you’re black, your life has no value,” she said.
“My nephew was murdered… There’s no doubt about that.”
The mother of the victim’s 11-year-old child told CTV News Barrie that she’s beside herself with grief.
“She’s left without her dad,” Donna Dubois said via phone. “How do I explain this to her? How is she going to think that police officers are safe when this is what they did to her dad?”
Dubois said Brown was a “fantastic dad” who was always willing to help a friend in need. She said she believes Brown had “run-ins” with the law and had a warrant out for his arrest but intended on turning himself in.
“He did not deserve this whatsoever, not whatsoever,” she said. “I’m completely devastated I couldn’t even watch the video. I’m disgusted.”
BLACK LIVES MATTER.

Just to clear things up.

I would never suggest putting those links in a reply so they can be accessed from tumblr.

[Images: Tweets by ALT-Immigration ( @ALT_uscis ), and one by Arianrhod7 ( @Arianrhod_777 ); transcripts and links follow]

ALT-Immigration: Contrary to the rumors, I am not organizing the biggest protest outside every ICE detention center including private detention centers nationwide on July First. Falsehood.

One person can not organize civil protests at all of these immigration detention centers. [Attached is a map of the US with immigration detention centers marked.]

I mean, the idea of having over a million people drive up to the nearest ICETAPO DETENTION CENTER and make a day out of it is just ridiculous. Even if chances are there is a detention center within an hour drive of where most live

One last correction: I definitely did not come up with the idea of bringing diapers, baby formula, children books and toys to throw over immigration detention fences.

Forgot to link to all icetapo detention centers. This just proves no one can pull it off. https://www.ice.gov/detention-facilities

FYI June 30th is the anniversary of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 signed by President Lyndon Johnson at the foot of the Statue of Liberty. I would have picked June 30th and not July 1st if i were part of this. [Pic of the Statue of Liberty attached.]

No one volunteered to create a google doc with the list of all the ICE detention centers per state from that link and make it available to everyone to see and organize locally, carpool etc.

to end this thread.
I was asked on a date by the Goons who do this. I do not feel like giving them a second date at the moment until at least after the World Cup is over. Busy.
[In response to/attached link/pic of two people on their phones in front of the Twitter logo; caption reads, “Twitter sues federal government to keep anti-Trump user @ALT_uscis anonymous…”]

Arianrhod: Nor would I ever post a link that also shows the county jails being used to hold immigrants https://www.freedomforimmigrants.org/detention-statistics/

Oh dear, I seem to have fallen on my keyboard and transcribed all of the above tweets, with full links included! How clumsy of me!

And it didn’t even end there: I was so uncoordinated, I happened to stumble upon a google doc for arranging carpools, as was absolutely not suggested by ALT-Immigration. I only hope I’m not so clumsy as to accidentally include a link to it in this post.

They changed his name. They fucking changed his name.

State sponsored child trafficking. How neat.

They changed his name and he probably doesn’t speak any Spanish or know about his heritage. Horrific.

ETA: They took him away from his mother because she “broke the law” by being a refugee but his white foster father has a criminal record and that’s just fiiiiine

(and before anybody comments, I understand that yes, being removed from the only home/family you can remember would absolutely be traumatising for a young child, but the point is it should have NEVER happened in the first place).

Not trying to say that this isn’t a shitty occurrence, because this is fucking inhumane and just downright evil. But the state has been doing this shit for decades with indigenous American children as well.

Hi I’m Catifex and I want you to make your mouse’s work easier!

- This is a step by step on getting a therapist

- Need to find a therapist by location? Psychologytoday lets you search by city or zip code in the USA, Canada, or UK.

- Can’t afford therapy? No insurance? Need low cost options? Here is a great list of ways to get help when money or insurance is an issue..

Reblogging this in the hopes that the image of a sweet little mouse doing her best to make my emotions will help me remember to be kinder to myself.

reminder: liking a trans woman doesn’t make a man gay. kissing a trans woman doesn’t make a man gay. falling in love with a trans woman doesn’t make a man gay. having sex with a trans woman doesn’t make a man gay. even having sex with many trans women, or only trans women, doesn’t make a man gay. there is no conceivable sex act a man could engage in with a trans woman, no matter what her genital status, that would make him gay, or even bi.

only preferring men makes a man gay or bi

and trans women are women

it’s really just that simple

rinse & repeat

please please reblog the above again and again until it burns into the brain of every person who comes across it. not for me, hell copy and paste it into your own blog, I don’t care. I just NEED for people to understand. so much hinges on this one stubborn, fundamental misconception.

last year when i was teaching 11th grade one of my fav students came in crying so i put the class on a filler activity and we just talked. they were doing ICE raids in the city and she was worried her parents wouldnt be there when she got home. then she was worried that ICE may come to the school and take her. we looked the laws up together and printed it out so she could carry the papers with her.

it is illegal for ICE to raid a school and take children. ILLEGAL. i told my student (and eventually the class in like a blanket statement because i had quite a few undocumented students) that if anyone did come i would put my body between ICE and my students and really struggle. honestly my heart broke so much that day - take care of undocumented people in your life because they deserve so much better than this ffs. this woman is so very evil and has a black heart and i hope she rots in prison

Food funds
If anyone is able to help with funds for food, that would be greatly appreciated. Still applying to jobs and haven’t heard back from anyone. I apparently can’t get food stamps without a job, which no one told me. My parents won’t help and I asked an aunt for help and she just ignored my message. Anyway, if anyone can help with a small donation or a reblog that would help a lot. Thanks! Love you! ❤️

MINORS ON TUMBLR BEWARE

Keep an eye out for this pride flag! If you encounter someone with this pride flag as their icon, do yourself a favor and block/report them. This is the MAP pride flag. For those who don’t know, MAP stands for Minor Attracted Person, more commonly known as a pedophile. The MAP community is filled with adults who openly admit to having sexual feelings towards children, and post about how they fantasize about underaged children. It’s sick and disgusting, and these depraved individuals try and use tumblr as a platform to normalize their perversions. They appropriate the experiences of the LGBT community by feigning systematic oppression, and comparing the rightful societal condemnation of pedophiles to the violent persecution of the LGBT community, which isn’t even remotely comparable. It’s honestly reprehensible that they’d take advantage of pride by making a flag like this. It’s incrediblly dangerous because unifying symbols such as this create a platform for pedophiles to prey on children, and spread pedophilia-enabling rhetoric. Please spread this around if you can, and if you are a minor, don’t bother interacting with these scumbags. It’s not worth putting yourself in danger to call these people out or try to get them to see the error of their ways. Stay safe everyone!

It looks like the “Creator” of the flag is @/dont-mistake-our-geography, she is an avid MAP supporter and possible MAP herself. She has her main blog in her title under “stennastims” which she says she’ll follow from! So, if you get followed from either! Block them!

hey pedophiles can fuckin die thanks
