A Lesson That We Can’t Afford Not To Be Taught.

Every black girl is so pretty

*reblog if you agree*

hey! if youre in the uk, theres an active government petition to get non-binary recognised as a legal gender, and to have non-binary recognised as a valid transgender identity.

it currently has less than half the signatures it needs to for the government to respond, and though the deadline to get them is in october, i don't know if we can leave things to chance.

please, please sign it if you are a uk resident. this is personally important to me and im sure to many other non-binary individuals here. if you don't live in the uk, reblogs to spread this are so appreciated.

Hey guys, just a heads up. There's a serial killer in the greater Atlanta area (as of August 1st, 2021 there have been at least 3 murders attributed to the same killer and they've all been killed and mutilated horrifically in the same way). More details under the cut cause they're potential trigger warnings for some people:

Stay safe y'all!!

News article about it: x

basically.

This is messed up. What the actual hell is wrong with America?

Who knows about Sally Hemings?

She was Thomas Jefferson's slave.

Called his "mistress," but how can you be a mistress when you were a slave, a child, and could not consent? Had absolutely no choice?

She bore him 6, perhaps as many as 8 children. He kept her locked in a basement room.

The room was recently unearthed, and DNA evidence has proven the lineage of Sally's children.

She was beteeen 12 and 14 years old when he started raping her, and Jefferson was in his forties. He freed the children that he had with her, but not Sally. Her daughter had to free her mother after Jefferson passed away.

This is not taught in schools. This side of history. We are supposed to consider the founding fathers as great men, fighting for justice and freedom, guided by God... when they are evil men. Selfish men who did nothing, save that it was for their own aggrandisement, personal benefit, and financial gain.

I would also like to add that Sally was Jefferson's dead wife's half sister. Sally's mother was raped by her owner, who was Martha (wife of Thomas) Jefferson's father.

These people left a legacy.

A legacy of entitlement under the most criminal of circumstances, and White Supremacist beliefs which pervade U.S. Society and Culture, to this very day.
