For People Who Are Unaware Of Why The Riots In Minneapolis Started Happening, Here’s The Facts:

for people who are unaware of why the riots in minneapolis started happening, here’s the facts:

it wasn’t george floyd’s protesters who started reacting violently; it was the cops.

the protest was peaceful until the cops showed up in riot gear, and started using water cannons, followed up by tear gas and rubber bullets. i got videos from friends who were there, of people screaming and running away from the cops shooting the water cannons, rubber bullets and throwing tear gas at them. they were even shooting at the protesters dragging people away to get medical attention.

speaking of medical attention, dispatch refused to provide any medical attention to the protesters. people literally had to drive their bleeding friends to the hospital because they refused to send ambulances.

cops are using non-lethal weapons in a lethal way. they shot rubber bullets into people’s heads and injured them. there’s dozens of photos of protesters with bleeding head wounds from the rubber bullets.

multiple people used police scanners and heard that there were undercover cops pretending to be violent protesters who were throwing rocks and whatnot at the police, with dozens of eyewitness accounts confirming that information.

the person who instigated all the chaos last night (it was a fire at an autozone) with the looting and burning buildings is highly suspected to be an undercover cop pretending to be a protester, because the video of him keeps getting taken down. protesters tried to stop him but couldn’t because he had a hammer and they were scared for their safety.

the cops jammed cell phone towers and cut live streams to interrupt broadcasts and to prevent people from seeing what was really going on and who actually started the violence.

the cops lied about protesters being armed and about throwing rocks and are literally trying to continue the violence happening and yet no one is holding them accountable for that.

and during all this, the cop that murdered george floyd still hasn’t been arrested. he has had more than ten complaints filed against him and was involved in three other civilian shootings in the past. and yet he’s still out free along with his three other buddies involved, probably sitting on his couch while all this chaos is happening.

so don’t get it twisted. the cops just want to change the narrative to make it look like they’re the wounded and righteous party, when they’re the ones who started reacting violently in the first place and are still acting violently. so don’t you ever forget who started this tragedy and murdered someone, and who are continuing to react to the situation with violence.

Back In June, My Friend Mia Invited Me To Birthday More, A Small Adorable Café Recently Opened By Two

Back in June, my friend Mia invited me to Birthday More, a small adorable café recently opened by two lolitas. We then walked to Parfaiteria Bel in Shinjuku to have their famous parfaits. Since it was in the middle of the afternoon during a week day, there was almost no one there. (See extra pictures on my Instagram post) On our way back to the station, we saw those very pretty hydrangeas on the side of the street and took some photos. It was at the end of a long hot day wearing a mask, so excuse the tired makeup. For outfit and makeup details, see my previous post.

One real benefit of reading I rarely hear anybody mention is how much more interesting life becomes when you read a lot. It depends what you’re reading, of course, but most (good) books will teach you something you didn’t already know, and even if you have to give the book back to the library, you get to take that much with you. A lot of people talk about things they wish they’d studied in school–I’ve done it, too–but it’s a nice consolation prize that you can always pick up a book and learn something new. And as that library in your brain collects more volumes, everything around you gains new resonances, new context, and new connections which make your lived experience richer. In quarantine alone I’ve read about religion and politics and history and evolution and computer science and astrophysics without even leaving my house and it’s already a more interesting world.

I get harry that harry wanted to name his kids after people he loved and people who died protecting him. I totally get that feeling of gratitude but what bugs me is the choice of names.

Sirius, James and Lily? Justified.

But Albus Severus? Really? One of them literally protected him to kill him in the end and the other one bullied him and his friends. They may deserve some recognition but didn’t they already get a hell lot of recognition?!

What about the other people who actually gave away their lives to protect Harry without demanding anything in return. They just fought selflessly to protect their world and their loved ones and got no recognition what so ever.

17 year old Cedric Diggory trying to make his parents proud.

18 year old Regulus Black trying to right the wrong of his ways.

Alastor Moody trying to protect the only hope left in the world he’s grown old protecting.

Ted Tonks trying to protect his wife and daughter in a world where his kind are in grave danger.

20 year old Fred Weasley trying to protect his family, and fighting for what is right and for the kind messy haired boy who’s now become family.

38 year old Remus Lupin trying to protect his best friends’ (who he couldn’t protect) son and to make the world a better place for his own son.

25 year old NymphadoraTonks trying to make a world a better place for her son, fighting for her dad and against the unfair practice.

17 year old Lavender Brown doing what she felt is right.

16 year old Colin creevy trying to protect his childhood idol and not caring if he’s underage because this is what he feels is correct.

And 50 other people who we don’t even know the names of because Harry doesn’t bother finding out. And Rebeus Hagrid? He made Harry a birthday cake and bought him an owl for his 11th birthday and he didn’t even know him. He loved everyone unconditionally and was extremely loyal even after all he’s gone through. That man deserves the world. Hagrid deserves more recognition than he ever got by anyone (be it Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dmbledore and the whole wizarding community).

These people are the real heroes and they don’t deserve to be forgotten.

I do not miss childhood, but I miss the way I took pleasure in small things, even as greater things crumbled. I could not control the world I was in, could not walk away from things or people or moments that hurt, but I took joy in the things that made me happy.
