This Cop Also Did This To Another Protestor:

this cop also did this to another protestor:

i remember when Instagram mostly banned me from my account for an entire year after posting about police brutality and its' links to white supremacy and institutionalized violence -it was during the height of the BLM movement after George Floyd was murdered. i remember calling out ex-co-workers at the time and people on social media i was mutuals with at the time for saying 'but it's not all cops, some are good,' and my response to that, and will always be: policing systems do MORE harm than good in communities. cops get little to zero training and are allowed to bear arms and have a licences to maim, injure, and kill people (most of whom, are NOT threats). and it's beyond unacceptable. the amount of funding these fucking systems get too when it can be allocated to programs that ACTUALLY do good.

defund the police.

end the occupation and free palestine!

*also, a few people have noted this, but yes, I believe it appears that the cop spat on the memorial candles too. and the fact he will never be fired and told to give up his badge for doing such a heinous thing is just despicable* -and yes all cops are bad.

I need to raise $4000 for rent by midnight. Yes, I know it's eggergious, but it's for a combination residence and commerical space.

I hired someone to help me get the space ready. She, my mom and myself have been working tirelessly for the last ten days and I'm opening on First Friday. I couldn't have done it without the help. She's so kind to my momnand involves her so she doesn't feel excluded. I'm trying to stabilize the same time since I've been suffering a mental health crisis and caring for a parent with dementia. Sales picked up in the last few days but setting up has cost money as well, before that sales had been painfully slow during October.

I absolutely must not jeopardize my new housing after just barely escaping homelessness in September.

25% Sales over my rent I'll use to help others posting in the rent help tag. The rest will go to paying my assisstant and finishing the space for First Friday.

With Tumblr discount prices pieces start at $150 for and 8"x 10" to 44"x 30" for $1800. Just until Friday I'm also 22"x 30" originals for $750 each (usually $3600 each on etsy and Saachi,) 33"x 24" for $900 (usually $4500 on etsy) and 44"x 30" originals for $1600 (usually $7260 on Etsy) Shipped same day. Free US Shipping. Sales may be paid via venmo or paypal. Dm to inquire about availability. Smaller items available too. Everything in my etsy shop is 60% Off this week.

if i see any of you demonizing Palestinians today, i am blocking you on sight. if you really cared about people dying, the very last thing you'd be doing is supporting the culling of Palestine. the events of today are the result of literal decades of genocide. the State of Israel is going to retaliate in tenfold. this should concern you. this should horrify you. this should anger you. there should be no room in your heart for hatred right now, and if me saying that bothers you, you don't see Palestinians as human. also save us both the time and block me first.
