I found these pictures of women of colour in the 1920s and they made me happy because you see them so rarely in the modern romanticization of this era x
Black artists literally engineered the techniques and basic song structure of electronic music, not to mention some of the very hardware/tech. You wouldn’t have dub without reggae, nor electro without Detroit and Chicago House. Artist like Skrillex, Diplo, and Calvin Harris are only popular because of how they mimic and “remix” traditionally Black genres and styles for white audiences. The erasure is ridiculous.
it’s so fucking funny that mark brendanawicz was in 30 episodes of parks and recreation and the second he was gone, he was literally never mentioned again, but li'l sebastian was in a single episode and he was immortalized forever
COVID is slowly becoming a “third world” disease. While first world countries are hoarding vaccines, having doses for populations many times their size, third world countries can’t get any because pharma companies want to sell to the first world countries first. Even then, first world countries will receive them first. While rich countries recover from COVID, they will forget about the pandemic while many other countries live the absolute worst moment of the pandemic without being able to vaccinate their population.
Watch also when some first world countries finish vaccinating their populations, they will turn to third world countries and “donate” or sell surplus vaccines. People in these countries will go “Oh how sweet! The government is donating vaccines to the poorer countries <3” when it was their hoarding that led to many, many third world citizens dying before they could even get vaccinated in the first place.
african and latin american countries are also pushed by pfizer to give up sovereign assets as part of their vaccine agreement
Yo europeans, sign the fucking petition, get the european commission to lift the patents
This is not a bullshit useless change dot org petition by the way this is an actual thing with legal consequences. If this petition gets to a million signatures, the european commission HAS to examine it.
They need not only a million signatures but to pass thresholds in at least seven member states - which only Belgium has done so so far. Especially if you have Italian, Irish, or Cypriot citizenship, please sign. Sign it in general, but try to circulate if you can to anyone with those nationalities specifically.
