18 year old Tania Harris was shot twice by police in Robbinsdale, MN yesterday. Police were called to the scene to protect her from a potential fight and are claiming she had a knife but her mother and witnesses are saying that her mother had taken the knife from her before police shot her.
Tania was cuffed and put in the back of the squad car after being shot.
She survived the shooting and is in stable condition.
The local activists are already planning actions around supporting her.
…i cannot believe the notes…i appreciate everyone who has been sharing this
“Heil this, motherfucker,” says Captain America, shooting off a rocket.
Steve and Bucky find out Hollywood has been busy since they went away. A historical survey, including but not limited to: one set of exploded genitals, a brief interlude in France, Mel Gibson and other masterworks of casting, eight Academy awards, several dinosaurs, and something Tony Stark has ominously dubbed “the masterpiece.”
I’ve had this rant building for a while, so here goes.
I have no use for works that must depict increasing cruelty to hold an
audience’s attention. If all you have to say about suffering is “can you
top this?” I am not impressed. And I resent the implication that this makes me too weak-willed or emotionally involved to properly form an opinion.
There is a fine line between doing something brilliant that generates controversy, and generating a controversy in the hope of appearing brilliant. The former should not be used to make excuses for the latter. The mere act of pushing the envelope does not, in and of itself, result in an artistic triumph above criticism. Indeed, the point of pushing the envelope would seem to be to risk failure, incite emotions, and invite criticism. If you poke the bear, you don’t get to whine that the bear is taking it too personally, or that the bear should wait and see where you’re going with this.
It’s a free society and stuff, so I’m not gonna tell anyone they can’t wallow in their sadism or creepy shit. But people who do that crap don’t get a free pass, that says it’s ~*~art~*~ so nobody can say anything bad. Art is supposed to pull you in and tell you something. If a work tells me “this artist is just trying to fuck with people,” it’s not my job to apologize and learn to enjoy that.
as pride season rolls around let me remind fellow het-partnered bisexual people:
Pride really isn’t for you, so don’t act like you deserve to be there as much lesbians and gay men. Really, just don’t go at all, because there are no resources there that are for you. what are you proud of? being in the relationship literally everyone expects you to be in and that introduces no actual oppression into your life?
but at the very least, if you must go (and god knows hell nor high water will stop you) please, please, please
don’t
bring
your
het
partner
^^^^
THANK YOU.
This just in- Bisexuals not welcome at Pride. I guess I’ve been reading LGBT wrong this entire time.
Hi. CHECK YOURSELVES. Don’t cut people out of a community because we aren’t “gay enough” for you. Pride is a chance for everyone in the community to come together and SUPPORT EACH OTHER. This ain’t a competition it’s PRIDE. ITS SHOWING PRIDE IN OUR IDENTITIES. DONT TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY AWAY FROM PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU WANT TO PUT YOURSELVES ON A PEDESTAL WITH A GOLD FUCKING MEDAL FOR HAVING IT THE WORST.
And all that aside. Pride is for the whole lgbtq community and its supporters. Christ.
What do you people think the B in LGBTQ+ stands for? Bumblebees? Brussels sprouts???
and people say biphobia doesn’t exist.
Pride is exactly that–
pride in who you are.Being in a het-partnered relationship doesn’t make a bi person any LESS bi. Seriously fuck you OP.
I actually nearly cried when j read the first part I just felt so dehumanised by it. IT DOESNT MATTER WHO I SHOW UP WITH, IF ANYONE, IM STILL FUCKING BI AND ILL SHOVE MY FLAG UP YOUR ASSHOLE THANKS
