“‘Black Lives Matter.’ For the past nine months, this rallying cry has permeated street corners, protests, tweets, news conferences, and even the cover of Time Magazine. Last August, the killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer kick-started the efforts of activists protesting against police brutality and violence. By now, the names Eric Garner, Mike Brown, Tamir Rice, and Freddie Gray have become synonymous with the Black Lives Matter movement. But solely focusing on their stories has come at the expense of another group affected by police violence: black women. Here’s Why You Should Care: African American women are three times more likely to be incarcerated than their white counterparts, and young black girls are suspended from school at six times the rate of their white female peers. Add to that the increased risk of poverty, violence, and sexual assault, and it’s clear that African American girls are not all right.” Take Part: http://bit.ly/1KIcpyl
“When you are an American, you’re born into this. And there are young black people who folks on TV are dismissing as thugs and all sorts of other words (I know the mayor apologized, I want to acknowledge that), but people who are being dismissed as thugs—these people live lives of incomprehensible violence.” Continue Reading Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Article: http://theatln.tc/1EXUWl7 via The Atlantic
“Recent events across the country have demonstrated that police murders, sexual assault and harassment continue with impunity. The fight for justice for families devastated by police who murder their loved ones is hard fought. As we struggle to fight for justice for loved ones like Freddie Gray, Tamir Rice, and Rashod McIntosh, we cannot forget, and must fight fiercely for Mya Hall, Aiyana Jones, and Rekia Boyd. The police harass, abuse, murder and do not discriminate based on gender or sexuality.” Black Youth Project: http://bit.ly/1MrD2c8
“On May 20, 2015 the African American Policy Forum, the Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies at Columbia University and Andrea Ritchie, Soros Justice Fellow and expert on policing of women and LGBT people of color released #SayHerName: Resisting Police Brutality Against Black Women, a document highlighting stories of Black women who have been killed by police and shining a light on forms of police brutality often experienced by women such as sexual assault.” Please Read this Important Report: http://bit.ly/1cR27AO via AAPF
“Tanisha Anderson. Rekia Boyd. Miriam Carey. Michelle Cusseaux. Shelly Frey. Kayla Moore. These names are etched into tombstones that stand over the graves of black women killed by police – and were echoed at a vigil in New York City on Wednesday, where dozens gathered to show that these women should not be forgotten.” Lilly Workneh: http://huff.to/1Bf7lfy via Huffington Post
Concept: Before meeting Geralt, Jaskier went through a portal and was sent back in time, where he met Young Fuckboy Vesemir and they had a lovely time together.
You know what one of the best feelings is? That breathlessness after you finish a show. That split second right after a show ends where you’re like wow I did that… I accomplished so much and in that second it doesn’t matter that you messed up or that you dropped that toss, all that matter is you survived the whole show. I find myself missing that feeling…
If it weren’t for the crocheted dog I’d have probably just thought she had a twin lol
I’m a little disturbed but also highly impressed
This woman has a power that should be feared
Didn’t realize what the title meant til i looked at the dog
It’s two different people!! There are two reflections in the glass behind them!!
You commented multiple variations of this, and I’m well and truly stunned that you seem to think the crochet version should have no reflection like some kind of knitted vampire. I’m at a total loss trying to make sense of your repeated insistence that having a reflection proves it’s actually another human. Do you know something we don’t? Should we be afraid?
@mautlin Those are two different ladies and two different dogs. The dogs fur marks are different and the ladies face types are different as well. It’s not the same lady. And if it really is the person who did the photoshop is truly amazing, look at how the arms touch in the middle. And look at the both of the dogs’ foreheads, the markings are different!
…what do you think this is supposed to be a photo of? The dogs have different fur because one dog is made out of yarn. The women have different faces because, again, one woman is made out of yarn. There is no photoshop involved, just a lot of yarn.
