Unarmed Black Man With Hands Up Shot By Police.

Charles Kinsey, 47, a behavior therapist from South Florida was shot in the leg three times by the police in North Miami while laying on the ground with his arms up and trying to help his patient with autism who had run away from a group home.

It all started when someone called 911 and said there was a man walking around with a gun. However it was Kinsey’s patient who was sitting on the ground cross-legged, playing with a toy truck.

Charles got shot by police despite telling them he was only trying to help his patient.

The police shot him, handcuffed him and left him on ground bleeding.

North Miami police have not released much information at
all. They haven’t released the officer’s name, they haven’t given us an update
on the investigation. However, they did say that the state attorney is now a part of
this investigation.

Thursday would have been Robin Williams’s 65th birthday, and to honor her late father, Zelda Williams found a way to carry on his legacy. In an Instagram post, Williams explained that she wanted fans to make a donation in her father’s name to honor some of his passions, and was excited to have found a charity that combined three of them: “rescue dogs, people suffering from disabilities, and our nation’s wounded veterans.”

So proud of my mother for doing her own research after I sent her that meme. A sign she hung in her car window.

Stay woke

Is this true?

Not only is it true, it gets worse. The Susan G Komen For The Cure Foundation has actually successfully sued “competing” charities, because (paraphrasing) their “message or branding was infringing.”

You read that correctly: they took money that people had donated to cure cancer, and hired attorneys with it, to sue ANOTHER group of people trying to find a cure for cancer, who, in turn, had to us their donated money to hire their own legal counsel to defend themselves.

Yeah signal boost because not enough people know about this and seriously FUCK SUSAN G. KOMEN THEY ARE THE ACTUAL WORST

It’s that time of year again, please remember Komen is the actual worst

Komen For The Cure is pretty much awful.

My mother died in 1996 from breast cancer. Most cancer charities are scams, in that people throw fancy parties and get rich off them and very little money goes into research or support for patients. Here are some vetted cancer charities that get good scores on Charity Navigator and pay medical expenses or fund research:

Breast Cancer Research Foundation

Cancer Research Institute

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

63 four star rated cancer charities on charity navigator

Every time I see this post I add: please watch Pink Ribbons Inc, a documentary about the whole pink ribbon campaign and Komen in particular. It’s… enlightening, to say the least.

Welcome to why I don’t reblog “Breast Cancer Awareness” posts on social media unless they address the fact that Pink is Bullshit.

I just left my husband alone with our two children for sixteen days. I was not worried about anything regarding the house, their food, or their wellbeing. I put all the appointments in the family calendar and my husband checked it and kept them. I literally did not worry about them. I missed them, and I was sad that they missed me, but I didn’t worry about them AT ALL. I need to impress upon you all that I missed their company, but was not worried for their welfare.

I also did no meal prep. I don’t even think I went shopping right before I left.

This is not about apples and oranges. This isn’t even about my husband. This is about the fact that this is apparently WEIRD.

Another mum at my daughter’s school is leaving for ten days. She’s taking her youngest (who is a very small baby) and leaving her husband with their two girls. She has been cooking for days preparing freezer meals. She’s panicking and deputizing her six year old to remind him how to make school lunches. AND I AM APPALLED.

A) He is definitely not helpless. (He’s a doctor or something.) What gendered bullshit. B) THAT LITTLE GIRL IS NOT OLD ENOUGH TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HER AND HER SISTER’S WELLBEING. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. C) Why is she married to this person and creating children with him if he’s this big of an idiot?

While she was laughingly recounting this, the other mums were nodding and smiling sympathetically, like oh yes, I too have my caveman at home!! Such managing required! I was the only one who was like “Dude, he’ll be fine. Literally. He will be fine.” I said it a lot. She was not convinced. She kept bringing up her older daughter. She’ll be like a little mum!

NO.

NO NO NO NO.

NO.

Straight women, don’t do this shit. It’s gross. Don’t infantilize your husbands and then expect your daughters to pick up the slack. So fucking gross. So. So. GROSS.

The fact that so many adults think a six year old girl is more capable of learning and performing basic domestic tasks than a grown-ass man says it all, really. 

I 100% do not understand this but is disgustingly common. Like, my future husband, when I go on some business trip, might not make our kids gourmet meals every night. But I also don’t make gourmet meals every night. And when I do, it’s because I ENJOY COOKING. Also my future husband is 110% more organized and better at keeping appointments and to-do lists than I am. He is for sure going to be the one that reminds ME that we need to schedule some doctor’s appointment or sign a permission form or something. Why are so many heterosexual marriages so fucking weird.

Yeah, shit like this is drives me crazy. My husband is an amazing cook and people think it is weird that I don’t cook our meals. Like, it’s called an equitable division of labor based on our skill sets, not bullshit gender stereotypes.

Also, does anyone else encounter marriages where the spouses seem to hate each other? My husband’s friends seem constantly baffled by the fact that we like each other and want to spend our free time together.

My best friend (happily married for five years) and I talk about this all the time. Like there just seem to be a whole fuckton of (especially heterosexual) married couples who just hate each others’ guts and constantly tear each other down to their friends. 

Like, it’s one thing if you are really struggling in your relationship and need to get advice from confidants like best friends or your family to figure out how to make it better. But then there’s my boss, who openly mocked his wife to our whole team because she wanted to get some new workout dvd set and “not like that stupid treadmill i bought her did any good. we’re not spending $80 for her to not feel so bad about eating chips at night for a few weeks.” 

I think it honestly starts really early in those marriages, too. Like if you’re the type of person who goes out and buys one of these: 

or these 

You’re going in already with a fundamental lack of respect for your spouse as an equal partner and friend. literally wtf. 

Sixteen days?  I haven’t been separated from my family for sixteen HOURS awake without hue and cry.  It took ORDERS to get three hours at the end of my Wednesdays on a regular basis.

Before that, the blaming and shaming that went on when anything was out of whack was directly planted on me - why wasn’t it done, why wasn’t it up to date, why wasn’t it in order, why why why -

Sixteen days.  *gobsmacked*

Post From Tumblr "Something strange is going on with the way we talk about feelings. Emotional respo

“

Something strange is going on with the way we talk about feelings. Emotional responses are mocked in some but honored in others. The same people deride millennials and their “safe spaces” where feelings are never hurt, and then fall back on the refrain that “I just feel more secure when I have a gun.” Feelings, it seems, are either a laughable distraction or a crucial decision-making element, depending on who’s having them.

The need to feel safe, in particular, is often treated as childish and absurd—but only when coming from people who have actual reason to feel vulnerable. Asking to be recognized as your true gender? It’s all in your head. Asking for accommodations for illness and disability? You’re too sensitive. Recounting experiences of dehumanization because of your race or gender? What an overreaction. But those who want to make the country “safer” by securing the borders against people they perceive as outsiders are never painted as whiners or cowards. The police officers killing unarmed folks in a moment of panic are not mocked for failing to keep their feelings in check. When someone wants a deadly weapon, their desire to feel safe becomes a rugged and real and sexy conviction.

ycleptkyara:

this is ReadLang. it is a cute little website that gives you all kinds of texts to read in your learning language.

when you sign in, you go to a dashboard that shares your progress so far. because i have just joined this website today, i’m still working on the opening progress page.

right now, i’m working on finding cool stuff to read in spanish. ReadLang will give you texts in your target language at the level and word count you want! check it out, it is pretty cool.

don’t know a word? click it! ReadLang will define it for you. free accounts will let you get 10 translations per day, but paid accounts ($5 per month) can get unlimited translations per day. you’ll be able to see your translations here:

lastly, there are flashcards. this is a really useful feature. it even charts the amount of studying you did each day. 

i’m definitely adding this to my favorite list for online language resources. reading is an excellent way of studying a new language, and ReadLang makes it easier to do just that.
