Obviously the message isn’t clear for everyone…
Black. Lives. Matter. Forever. Period. 🖤 ✊🏽
In the past 24 hours I have seen videos of police doing the following:
**Brutally beating anyone within reach, and then forming a circle around the beating so that no one could get close enough to pull people away or even continue to film or photograph the assault. (X)
** Driving down the road and pushing open the car door to slam it into someone standing on the side of the road. (X)
** An officer on horseback coming up behind a woman holding a sign on the sidewalk and with no warning or attempt to move around her, literally ran her over with the horse. (X)
** Smashing and stealing bottles of water and milk the protesters had stashed in the park in case they needed to treat tear gas burns. (X)
**Shooting rubber bullets directly at a news crew during a live broadcast of the protest. (X)
this is a sign that if you’re not where you want to be, you’re still young and your future is what you make of it. so don’t give up on your dreams thinking that you started too late or you don’t have time. you have plenty of time to master a new skill or chase your daydreams. you still have time and you can do it.
“I am trying to see things in perspective. My dog wants a bite of my peanut butter chocolate chip bagel. I know she cannot have this, because chocolate makes dogs very sick. My dog does not understand this. She pouts and wraps herself around my leg like a scarf and purrs and tries to convince me to give her just a tiny bit. When I do not give in, she eventually gives up and lays in the corner, under the piano, drooping and sad. I hope the universe has my best interest in mind like I have my dog’s. When I want something with my whole being, and the universe withholds it from me, I hope the universe thinks to herself: “Silly girl. She thinks this is what she wants, but she does not understand how it will hurt.”— THEORIES ABOUT THE UNIVERSE by Blythe Baird
