On Top

Iceland: Why is Sve on top of the Christmas tree?

Finland: I couldn't decide between a star or an angel, so I went with both.

Everyday, Black women and girls are missing and either never found or found dead.

Say HER name.

15 year old JOY LYNN. She is missing from Dallas, Texas. The police aren't doing anything, so please, if you suspect anything, found a clue, or whatever, come forward.

Get over yourself. Words on paper about fake people from a fake universe are not hurting you because they exist. Let people write what they want. AO3 exists BECAUSE people like you want to censor freedom of expression.

woooowwwww. im not censoring freedom of expression. im saying that glorifying rape, sexual abuse, underage content, etc. is wrong and ao3 actively promotes it by not having any rules. 

people are posting incest fics, rape fics, etc. NOW, if youre going to write a story about incest where you are not glorifying it and you make it categorically clear that incest is wrong and the topic is handled in the correct way with respect to those survivors, that is different and that is tackling a different topic. writing a story where you actually ship two siblings together because you think incest is hot or good, etc., is glorification.

here’s an example ive used before. in my WIP, one of my characters was sexually abused before the story. the character’s rapist is not redeemed, the character is not forced into a relationship with the rapist and so on. in rape fics on ao3, these characters are abused and then are forced into relationships with their abuser, because the author thinks rape is hot or good. RAPE IS A VIOLATION OF BODILY AUTONOMY AND CONSENT. RAPE IS ABSOLUTELY VILE AND GLORIFYING IT LIKE THESE RAPE FICS DO IS ABHORRENT.

im an author myself so i understand the whole freedom of expression. i write stories with serious themes so that i can tackle them and handle them with care and respect to victims and survivors. rape fics, incest fics, etc. are offensive to survivors.

also i find “get over yourself” infinitely amusing. i have mental health problems and often struggle to hold a high opinion of myself so trust me when i say i dont have anything to get over anyway. fiction affects reality and when a platform like ao3 is so big, it is definitely affecting reality.

edit also, the fact that ppl are defending these fics proves the fiction affecting reality thing.

George Floyd was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer.

George was handcuffed and restrained and being completely cooperative when this all went down. The officer put his knee on George’s neck choking him for minutes on minutes while George screamed that he could not breathe. 

Bystanders beg for the police officer to take his knee off George’s neck, but the officer didn’t listen and continued to choke him. 

Petition for the punishment of Minneapolis police officers after the assassination of George Floyd.

Julius Jones has only 122 days before being executed for a crime he DIDN’T COMMIT. Julius has lived on death row for almost 20 years, and is held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day. He is allowed one hour of sunlight a day, and three showers a week. Every minute we wait to take action, Julius is suffering. Every second that goes by brings Julius closer to being executed for a crime he didn’t commit.

Tony McDade was a transgender black man who got killed by police in Tallahassee. No one is talking about it.

Jennifer Jeffley was 15 years old when she was arrested for the murder of Maria Palomina. A murder that she did not commit. Innocent of the crime that she was convicted of, Jennifer has been behind bars more than 20 years serving a life sentence.

Regis Korchinski-Paquet was murdered by Toronto Police. A call was made for a domestic incident and Toronto police officers were present on the 24th floor in a High Park apartment building to “observe” 29-year old, Regis. Shortly after, she allegedly fell off the balcony.

Sean was a victim of police brutality. He was running from the police and was on Facebook live. The police officer tased him while he was going down and then shot the man 14 times in the back.

On October 4th 2016 Amiya was stepping off of  her school bus and was hit and killed by a car.

11 months later my family and I met with the District Attorney John Weddle and Sadie Gardener. Neither of them took the case seriously and it showed because shortly after that my family was informed that Karen Carpenter would not be charged.

On June 7th, 2019, Emerald Black a pregnant, black woman, and her fiance were pulled over by police officers after coming from a doctors appointment.

The officers spoke to Ms. Black’s fiance while she stayed in the car.

The officers began to order her out of the car. Ms. Black was clearly pregnant and she had let them know  that she had just gotten back from a doctors appointment where she was also  informed that she was at a high risk for a miscarriage. Despite this, the officers yanked Ms. Black, still in her hospital clothes, and threw her to the ground. They taunted her, piled on top of her, and stomped on her stomach causing her to miscarry. The stomp had  also left a shoe mark.

Chrystul Kizer is an incarcerated trafficking survivor who is being charged with life in prison for acting in self-defense against her trafficker.

The punishment that Chrystul is facing for defending her own life signals that black women and girls have no selves to defend.

Tamir was only 12-years-old when he was shot and killed last year by a Cleveland police officer as he played in a park with a toy gun.

Alejandro is a innocent 15 year old, African American who got shot 7 times while walking to Boone High School, in December of 2018. NO ARREST HAVE BEEN MADE!!!

We need legislation now that prohibits police officers from shooting unarmed citizens!!!

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.

Amidst the national uprising for racial justice, ’Hamilton’ star Daveed Diggs and a collective of Black artists created this evocative video inspired by Frederick Douglass’ ‘What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?’
