We May Not Have Been Able To Save Brandon. But The Fight Is Far From Over.

we may not have been able to save brandon. but the fight is far from over.

this is dustin john higgs.

in 1996, he was convicted of kidnapping and murdering three women and was sentenced to death.

this conviction is entirely false. he didn’t murder anybody.

he has been found not guilty of the crime. at this point, the only reason he remains in jail is because he was at the scene of the crime. the court also claims that he bullied willis hayes, the man who actually did murder the three women, into killing them. however, willis hayes has come forward and has admitted that dustin DID NOT commit the crime, and he’s also even confessed that dustin never bullied him into murdering the trio of women. but the court won’t accept it.

DUSTIN JOHN HIGGS IS SCHEDULED TO BE EXECUTED ON JANUARY 15, 2021. HE IS GOING TO BE EXECUTED FOR A CRIME HE DID NOT COMMIT AT ALL. WE CAN’T LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN.

i never talk about these things but i can’t remain silent.

i know tumblr doesn’t give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the “most popular ones” (such as the usa & england). it’s true, don’t lie to me. y’all don’t give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING  WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say “pray for x”……

southern europe is burning. 

my country is burning.

people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.

yesterday my country had 300 active fires.

people are losing EVERYTHING they own.

i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense it’s getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.

and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe… what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we don’t ask for money, we don’t ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness… something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish. 

i don’t know what to tell you. i’m angry. i’m frustrated. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screaming into the void. “a reblog does nothing” - you know that’s a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. y’all are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit we’ve been winning lately. 

but hell, if the EU doesn’t give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?

again, i don’t know what to tell you so i’ll let the images speak for themselves:

hi everyone!! i have a quick thing to talk about. i usually don’t have many problems with this kinda stuff (i’m one of the lucky ones i guess) but. well anything can happen so :/ you know

it was brought to my attention that a youtube channel posted a reading of one of my works, lockscreen, without my permission. again, i usually don’t have a problem with this kinda stuff, but the channel never came to me and asked about posting it nor was i ever notified even after the fact until now by someone who caught it (another big thanks to @spacecowkid <3)

i’ve already commented on the video and am in the midst of reporting it but i’d really appreciate if yall could head over there and do the same !! obviously i won’t make you (and hopefully the channel will respond to me and others who have been through the same thing) but it would really help out and mean a lot to me. the video link is here.

yall have probably heard this over and over again, but the truth is that reposting without permission can be harmful even if it’s not meaning to be. i was lucky enough to be credited (albeit haphazardly) but i was never made aware of where my work was until literally like 15 minutes ago. if you want to repost something, ask the author. it’s not very hard.

anyways thank you for your time!

reblog if you want more interaction w your lovely followers
