ways to help protestors if you are unable to protest
everybody has to do their part. as a reference, this was posted on 1 june 2020. if any links are broken or direct to a place they should not, please feel free to add on with corrections. if there is new information with better knowledge, please feel free to share. thank you.
1. donate
do not donate to shaun king. he has repeatedly collected money to “support” black people, but no one knows where the money is.
BAIL FUNDS (ALPHABETICAL ORDER; NOT A COMPREHENSIVE LIST)
note: washington dc and new jersey have cashless bail systems.

national bail fund network (directory of community bail funds)
community bail funds masterpost by @keplercryptids
resistance funds (google sheets; lists bail funds around the country)
nationwide bail funds (split a donation to the bail funds listed on the linked page with a single transaction)
atlanta bail fund
brooklyn bail fund
colorado freedom fund
columbus freedom fund
houston chapter of black lives matter
liberty fund (nyc based; focuses services on people from low-income communities)
los angeles freedom fund
louisville community fund
massachusetts bail fund
minnesota freedom fund (as of may 30, 2020, they are encouraging people to donate elsewhere since they have raised enough money; as of may 29, 2020, they do not have a venmo, as some fraudulent accounts have been claiming, source)
philadelphia bail out fund
richmond bail fund
MORE PLACES TO DONATE
note: more links are listed in the masterposts below.
northstar health collective (healthcare and medical aid for people on the front lines)
reclaim the block (aims to redistribute police funding to help the minneapolis community)
twin cities dsa (provides fresh groceries and hot meals to people in minneapolis)
2. educate yourself
it isn’t enough to sign petitions and reblog/retweet/etc. nonblack people, including people of color, owe it to black people to educate themselves and correct themselves and the people around them on anti-blackness.
note: more links are in the masterposts linked below.
resources and tools regarding racism and anti-blackness (google sheets compilation)
readings on society, racism, the prison system, etc. (twitter thread)

3. give out supplies to protestors
people need supplies to protest safely, and even if they bring supplies with them, they can often run out. if you’re able, stock up and hand them out to people protesting. for more supplies to donate, see the “george floyd action” google docs link in section 5.
water bottles (dehydration and heatstroke are not things people should have to deal with alongside bastard cops. if the police in your area are particularly violent or known to use tear gas, get the ones with the sports cap/suction-thing/etc so people can use them as emergency eye-flushes.)
snacks (make sure to take into account that people have allergies of all sorts. foods will have a little label that says “may contain” and then list any potential allergens. write the allergens on the ziploc (or any container you use) in permanent marker, or better yet, write the snacks included in the pack.)
masks (don’t forget there’s still a pandemic going on. also it will aid in deterring facial recognition when the police try to track down protestors, also part two, if the cops use tear gas, wearing a mask (with the combination of a scarf or bandana) will lessen the adverse effects. lessen, not stop.)
bandanas, scarves, etc. and goggles (ski goggles, swimming goggles, etc.) (see above for explanation on the scarves. same goes for the goggles. anti–tear gas and anti–facial recognition.)
clean shirts (for people who are heavily gassed. also helps deter recognition through clothing.)
wound care supplies (band-aids, packets of neosporin packets or a similar antibiotic, alcohol wipes, etc.; if you can, decant bactine into those little travel bottles.)
a sharpie or another type of marker (for writing bail numbers or emergency contacts on arms, hands, etc. it’s not enough to have your city’s bail fund number stored on your phone; the police won’t give it to you to look it up. give people a marker so they can write it down, preferably not washable so it isn’t easily removed.)
IMPORTANT: KNOWING FIRST AID
tear gas: if you’re hit, get out as fast and as soon as you can. take anyone you can with you. the longer you’re in the gas, the harder it will be for you to see, and it can irritate your airways, making it hard to breathe. if you’re hit, don’t run; it’ll only make things worse on your lungs. when you leave the area, take a cold shower. don’t use hot water (it will only reactivate the agent); don’t bathe (it will only spread the CS around). (source 1) (source 2) (cdc fact sheet on tear gas)
move them to a clean and ventilated area where it’s as safe as possible.
ask them if they’re wearing contact lenses. have them remove it. if they’re wearing glasses, rinse it with water.
solution of half liquid antacid, half water. spray from the inside going out, with the head tilted back and slightly towards the side being rinsed. if they say it’s okay, open the eye slightly while doing this. (source)
bullet wounds: the most important thing is to stop the bleeding. be sure to check for an exit wound and cover that as well. treat both wounds, but treat the worse one first.

first aid in active shooting scenarios
making a tourniquet (a commercial tourniquet is best, but improvised ones can work as well if done properly; the most important things to remember is that tourniquets are for limb injuries and are not meant for the head or torso and that they have to be very tightly wound on the injury.)

adult cpr tutorial (youtube video by cincinnati children’s; think of “staying alive” by the beegees or “uptown funk”)
4. be a source of information
be responsible with this. people’s lives are at stake. that being said, the media is a fucking joke and the best way to get accurate information in a grassroots rebellion is amongst ourselves. record everything, but if you are going to share any information at all, be sure to blur people’s faces.

NUMBERS TO CALL FOR ARRESTED PROTESTORS (ALPHABETICAL ORDER; SOURCES LINKED TO THE NUMBER)
remember to keep phones OFF unless absolutely necessary. cell phone towers, stingrays, location notifs can all be used to track you and other protestors. don’t fuck around. if your phone must be on, keep it on airplane mode as often as possible and only communicate using encrypted methods. no, snapchat doesn’t count.

also, if you’re protesting, change your passcode. make it at least 11 characters long and don’t use facial/thumb recognition.
reminder that this blog, while not politically focused, supports BLM. bootlickers and racists aren’t welcome here, and never will be.
Slytherin but I need to sit in the corner and think now
I made a quiz, its 36 questions, and y’all, I play-tested this, I got feedback, I hyper-analyzed, its good. I wasn’t like, I was gonna just let hogwarts houses die but apparently y’all be like,,, not knowing what a slytherin or hufflepuff is no shade and if all these quizzes are gonna ask you this question anyways: this is it. Idiot tested. Idiot approved

Hello im Exli and this is embarrassing for me but I ran out of other options
I recently lost all kind of work due to the pandemic and got declined for government support so I'm living by basically a few bucks a month and my bills keep stacking up and I've been so stressed over it so much that it's hard for me not to cry when I think about it
I also have pets to take care of and they're my first priority
I know money is tight for everyone right now but if you have a few bucks to spare so I could at least stock up on pet food to make sure they're going to be ok I'd be the most grateful person on the planet
My PayPal is exliiii@yahoo.de
Wow y'all enjoy fallout huh

About the Amazon Rainforest
Hey guys! I don’t usually bring that kind of thing to my blog, because I’m aiming to keep it as drama, negativity and politically free as I can.
But I do think, as Brazilian, that remaining silent about my rain forest becoming charcoal and dust would be a complete disservice.
I’m not going to share any news, articles or anything of the like. You guys can grab it by simply doing a quick Google search. What I’m here for is to make it clear: despite this being an absolute tragedy, the Government’s lack of action is expected.
Our country is in political chaos. We’re not only ignoring the Environment, but also Education, Healthcare, and several other important areas. We’re facing a year of hate, mistrust and hurt. Most of us are tired, disheartened and hopeless. The rates of suicide - specially among young people and LGBT people - are increasing at alarming rate.
I wish I could tell you how to help us. But besides spreading awareness, I don’t know. We are fighting, be damn sure we are. But please, don’t let your countries fall victim to the same ignorance and hate we have.
If voting isn’t mandatory where you live, still give it a long thought and consider voting. When you don’t use your voice through that, you’re allowing other people to decide the fate of your country. Don’t buy the opinions of others and don’t let yourself be influenced by the media: research, study and compare your candidates. And most importantly: before thinking only about how things affect you, think about the people who have less to none privileges and struggle more with the system than you do.
Think about your fellow human beings with love. People are not numbers.
As for my beloved Floresta Amazônia… My heart bleeds. I know very well what we’re losing, and it’s irreplaceable.

Writing Prompt #9
You think your roommate has been stealing your food from the fridge, but every time you confront them, they deny it. In an attempt to catch them in the act, you hide a video camera in your kitchen and wait. You wait a few days to review the footage, and when you do, you’re horrified.

Merle trying throw himself in front of the wasp as a sort of meat shield
Nothing caused the birds to go more feral than when a wasp get in the starblaster. Lucretia got a bubble around one for like a second to put it outside once but it was then popped by either taakos magic missle or Davenport’s corpoiral illustioned flyswatter. Imagine Six people hurling spells and magnus throwing furniture at a bug in a confined space. That.
