May He Rest In Peace - Tumblr Posts
We lost a legend. May he rest in peace🕯
I know I don’t have a large following. I know this post will get lost in the sea of other posts. I know I don’t come on here often, and when I do I try to keep my page free from death and other serious topics. Yet, I think this is imperative to say, especially since I myself am of indigenous descent. I ask all of you to join me in solidarity.
Cole Brings Plenty, actor, model, and most importantly activist was found dead. He was assaulted in a club in Lawrence, Kansas. He was killed and his braids; a symbol of his heritage, of his Lakota decent, and a sacred symbol across many an indigenous nation, were forcibly cut.
I beg of thee and I plead with thee, spread the word. Do your part, however big or little, to bring light to this situation. Whether it be by reblogging this post or others alike, or by going out and making a stand. Do it.
Shed light on the situation. This goes beyond the death of one man. It is about the abuse and the destruction of natives and their communities. Of the killing of many an innocent soul. Of the brutalization of many First Nations.
We have seen time and time again, many indigenous people die by similar means. We need to bring light on the deaths of any and all indigenous individuals dead, missing or at risk. It is an epidemic, an assault, and a silent cleansing of many a nation.
Whether it be the estimated 6,000 dead at the hands of Canadian residential schools, the murdered and missing indigenous women and children, or the killing of an actor and activist, you cannot deny the sheer abhorrence of this problem. The problem of many Native American people dying, going missing and being abused, at an alarming rate. At a level unprecedented and unparalleled, at a level of which should not be kept silent.
Cole Brings Plenty, actor, model, activist.
Look at him and spread awareness for him and for many others befallen by the same fate.
Remember him. Remember all of the others. Let nobody else befall the same fate again.
So I found Aaron Bushnell's reddit and went through his comments/posts. That young man was well read and stable as they can be. Nothing in his writings pointed to someone who was "unstable" or "brainwashed".
He held leftist and anarchist ideals. He belong to the ACAB subreddit. He recognized the evil of the US Military even though he himself was a part of it. He hated TERFS and called out fatphobia. He understood the dangers of white supremecy and the evils of capitalism.
He had a cat. He liked the show fleabag and played elden ring.
Apparently in his will he wants to leave any money in his name to palestinian relief funds. He was trying to find a new owner for his cat.
Rest in peace Aaron Bushnell. The world won't forget & we sure as fuck won't let the media paint you out to be some crazy conspiracy theorist who had no idea what he was doing.
medo halimy was murdered by the israeli government a few days ago. he planted a small garden outside of his tent as an act of resistance and documented his journey online.
please if you can join me in donating or sharing Medo's gofundme to help support his remaining family or donate to his best friend Talal's gofundme, who was alongside him during the bombing and survived.
“In the few years since I’ve started to travel this world, I’d found myself changing. I’d begun to believe that the dinner table was the great leveler. Now… I’m not so sure. Maybe the world’s not like that at all. Maybe in the real world, the one without cameras and happy food and travel shows, everybody - the good and the bad together - are all crushed under the same terrible wheel. I hope… I really hope I’m wrong about that.”

My favorite example to use when telling people that Doctor Who has always been 'woke' is Captain Jack Harkness.
Like hello? He's a massive flirt to anything living and has literally kissed the Doctor himself. As well as shamelessly admitting he's 'met up' with men throughout his entire lifetime.
Oh, and he was pregnant twice (edit: when he was Face of Boe) if you want to count that. All in all, Jack Harkness wins and you lose.
Today, U.S. Air Force serviceman, Aaron Bushnell, 25, set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington:
"I will no longer be complicit in genocide.”
His last words were “Free Palestine”.
He was loved by many and he will be missed greatly
May he rest in peace
Have you ever cried or been significantly upset at the death of a celebrity?
Yes (which one?), because I cared about them or their work
Yes, for practical reasons (ex. it was a politician with good political views)
Yes, but not because I cared about them (ex. their cause of death was a trigger for you)
No, but I would if certain famous people were to die
No, and I wouldn't even if a celebrity I liked died
No, because there are no celebrities I like/care about
Other (put in tags)
