“I’m speaking to you from my heart. Look, I don’t know if I’m going to have a career after this, but fuck that. Today is about innocent people who were halfway through their process, we don’t know what George Floyd could have achieved, we don’t know what Sandra Bland could have achieved, but today we’re going to make sure that won’t be an alien thought to our young ones. Every black person in here remembered when another person reminded you that you were black. So none of you out there, all those protesters on the other side, protesting against what we want to do, protesting against what we want to try and achieve, burn you, this is so vital. I need you to understand how painful this shit is. I need you to understand how painful it is to be reminded every day that your race means nothing and that isn’t the case anymore, that was never the case anymore.” John Boyega at The Black Lives Matter protest in Hyde Park June 3rd 2020

can we talk about the situation in Peru with the coup d’etat?

Manuel Merino de Lama, the former president of the parliament, was proclaimed president of the Peruvian republic after former president Martin Vizcarra was kicked out. According to the constitution, this action was not valid and can be considered a coup since the congress is constituted of many people processed by the Justice Department, the prosecution, and the Public Ministry. In addition, the investigations held against the president are not yet to be confirmed and are in the middle of the process, reason why this decision was not valid since there was not a judgement.

Manuel Merino de Lama, now former president, caused chaos all around the nation, with many peaceful protests taking place. He also organized his gabinet led by several conservative, far right ministers and the President of the Ministries. They also show supportive attitudes towards the semi-totalitarian dictatorship of Alberto Fujimori in the 90s. One example of this is Antero Flores-Araoz. Taking into account nationwide protests, police brutality was atrocious and, by the second national protest that took place yesterday, police murdered two innocent young men fighting for peruvian democracy.

Because of the deaths, many national and international organizations asked Merino to abdicate and let the congress decide the next president until the general election date in April. After a failed attempt to gain the support of the military to establish a dictatorship, Manuel Merino de Lama was forced to abdicate because of the protests and the pressure. In addition, all the ministers of his gabinet were fast to abdicate as well in order to avoid jail. However, the constitution says they are to be processed as well. Now the congress is deciding who will be the next president, who is predicted to be one of the parliamentarians who voted against kicking out former president Vizcarra.

Let it be known that two people were brutally murdered by the police on November 14, 2020, and are know considered heroes since they gave their lives in order to save peruvian democracy.

PLEASE DON’T SCROLL

even if you only reblog, that’s enough

1st of February, 2021

i was debating on whether or not i should post this on tumblr but seeing as there haven’t been posts about this yet, here it is. i’m exposing my real location and nationality but it doesn’t matter.

if you have been active on twitter, you may already know #savemyanmar is trending. long story short, there has been a military coup. several nations have released statements but i want to share insight on what’s happening in the country.

memes about a coup have been circulating around for a couple days and when i slept at 2 am last night, we were still under the rule of the National League for Democracy (NLD). while they are not technically democratic, they are the closest we’ve got. when my mother woke up at 6 this morning, she was notified that the country was now under the rule of the military.

banks services are no longer available. wifi was cut at around 7-8. some people got wifi again earlier but many got it barely thirty minutes ago. this is bad for businesses especially ones that require international communications. additionally, international students like myself are experiencing anxiety; how do we pay for and attend classes if we’re not sure wifi is a given?

myanmar has a long, complicated history with military governments. the last time the military went into rule was in 1962 and only stopped in 2011, following the 2010 elections. there was a huge protest in 1988 lead by students that resulted in lots of death. during the military junta, resources like rice, water, oil, were scarce. the gist is military rule is bad for us.

all of my followers are not myanmar citizens, i’m sure but as part of the international community, please help us. here is a petition that you can sign (although i’m not sure if that can do much). there may be protests in front of myanmar embassies so look out for those. most of all, please help spread awareness. 

the people here are coping with dark humor, primarily in the form of memes but we don’t know how long this rule will last, even though the official statement said only a year. here’s something that pretty much sums up our coping mechanism:

again, even a reblog helps

update :: all telecommunication means will be cut off at 12 am MMT

Women’a struggles in Peru and Latinamerica

When Marvin & Lucille Stone’s 60th anniversary was approaching, the longtime couple decided to celebrate in style: by posing for a professional photo shoot in their original wedding clothes!

These heartwarming images by photographer Katie Autry capture the couple’s love shining just as strongly as it did 60 years earlier. Autry asked Marvin & Lucille for the secret to their success. They said:

Work hard

Be kind to one another

Think before you speak

Rely on each other’s strengths to overcome your weakness

Stay strong in your faith
