Unarmed Black Man With Hands Up Shot By Police.

Charles Kinsey, 47, a behavior therapist from South Florida was shot in the leg three times by the police in North Miami while laying on the ground with his arms up and trying to help his patient with autism who had run away from a group home.

It all started when someone called 911 and said there was a man walking around with a gun. However it was Kinsey’s patient who was sitting on the ground cross-legged, playing with a toy truck.

Charles got shot by police despite telling them he was only trying to help his patient.

The police shot him, handcuffed him and left him on ground bleeding.

North Miami police have not released much information at all. They haven’t released the officer’s name, they haven’t given us an update on the investigation. However, they did say that the state attorney is now a part of this investigation.

Women scientists made up 25% of the Pluto fly-by New Horizon team. Make sure you share this, because erasing women’s achievements in science and history is a tradition. Happens every day.

Okay, so with the recent resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement, I wanted to bring attention to a twitter exchange that disturbed me.

Somehow, while we have taken to the streets yelling “Black Lives Matter” it has been simplified to “Black Men Matter”. And they do! But when you start to look at the silencing of black women’s voices in order to please the black men around them, if you’re not worried, you worry me.

As a child, I was constantly taught that I should take the brunt of pain without complaint because that was the measure of my strength. Society and my family were so concerned with humbling me and making me feel small, that I truly started to believe I was. Everything I did would be minimized until I, too, began to think of my contributions, thoughts, and opinions as insignificant. I think Keke Palmer does a great job of explaining my sentiments in this clip:

So, to black women who are labeled:

Bossy: Keep leading the way

Aggressive: Keep reaching your goals

Difficult: Keep speaking your truth

Emotional: Keep being passionate

Weak: Keep protecting your peace

Awkward: Keep being you

I have been and will continue to be proud of being a black woman. This blog will continue to be a safe place for us.

currently thinking about how self isolation and quarantine will unfortunately lead to more domestic abuse cases world wide.

this is a list of domestic violence hotlines.

please don’t be afraid to call them or to tell friends or family about your situation if you should be in danger.

One day heterosexual won't be the top box on the list

One day people will be putting straight on their dating profile because it won't be 'the norm'

One day toilets won't be gendered

One day people won't try to invalidate your polyamorous relationship

One day nobody will tell you that it's a choice you made

One day it won't be necessary to 'come out'

One day they'll stop caring about your genitals

One day you won't be expected to live the typical marriage and kids life

One day platonic will be acceptable

One day you'll simply be a person and that will be enough
