I’ve done this before and it still doesn’t feel right to have to do this… But everything is in shambles right now. My boyfriend and I aren’t doing okay, and I’m worried about his well-being. Because of his mental health he hasn’t been able to hold a job and it’s become very hard to pay bills on my own. I had to take out a $350 payday loan that, because of the job circumstances, I have no way to pay back now. It’s due Friday and I’m so scared because my bank account is already in the negative. The hole just gets deeper and deeper and idk how we will get out of it.
I see these posts a lot on here and I guess I don’t expect much of anything, but I have to try. If you can help, please do, we will be so appreciative of it. I might try to sell some stuff, but for now if anyone is able to help, please do.
OKAY so I saw this a few days ago and was like “whatever” but then I smashed my phone in a car door, had to clean up some dead baby bunnies in my yard, and have just generally NOT had a good week. I’m fucking spooked and I’m reblogging this twice to get the universe to stop.
I ignored this too and then i got kicked out of my house. Also reblogging twice.
Not really taking chances because my life sucks already sorry guys
This is incredibly difficult to look at. I fear this will continue and he will commit even worse crimes against humanity. I believe the UN is sitting on June 27 to discuss the humanitarian aspects of Trumps decisions here.
Glad to see major network coverage of this
So sorry that this isnt snakes but… wow.
The quotes with his face are in Spanish as well as English. This is a reeducation center.
Remove children from parental influence, hold them long enough for them to captor-bond for survival, surround them with a new ideology 24/7. The youngest ones become blank slates, and the older ones wear down and adapt just to belong.
The next step would be to with hold all contact from their parents indefinitely. You could then punish them for speaking or learning their native tongue, and teach them domestic and hard labor skills and “employ” them outside of the camps to [insert synonym for “it builds character” here]. Since they aren’t actually citizens, minimum wage and labor laws don’t apply to them.
Ask the Native Americans and Austriallian Aboriginals how well this system works.
I’m watching that documentary “Before Stonewall” about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.
The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one “known homosexual”. The “known homosexual” is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there’s nothing wrong with him mentally and he’s never been arrested. When asked whether he’d take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he’s gay, he says that they didn’t up until tonight, but he guesses they’re going to find out, and he’ll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like …why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says “I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself.”
1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.
Despite the pseudonym, Dale’s boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! Hewrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson’s disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.
It appears that no one has made the connection between Dale Olson the publicity agent instrumental in the AIDS debate and Dale Olson the 22-year-old first openly gay man on TV. So I thought I’d make it. For Pride month, an unsung gay hero.
dude had guts, someone needs to update his Wikipedia page
