Headed by Claudia Delfina ( @tejanx ), CHIFLADAzine is an inclusive zine dedicated to showcasing the artistic talent and voices of underrepresented Latinx artists across the U.S. and the world, hoping to use this platform to create a safe space for Latinx creatives to express themselves and grow.

I personally will be selling crafts there under the guavadoodle brand which I’m pretty stoked about so to see a glimpse of the products I’ll be selling at the Chiflada Party, drop by the blog’s official Instagram @guavadoodle and look through the posts for more info! I hope to see you there supporting fellow Latinx creatives (-:

There’s this pernicious myth that by reforming the law, settler law that is, it will become less colonial.

SUPPORT MERCI CHRISETTE #BLACKTRANSLIVESMATTER

On December 18th of 2015, Merci Chrisette aka Chrissy Jackson, a Black TransWoman, faced harassment by a stranger leading to an altercation on the A train in Brooklyn, New York. Part of the incident was recorded, uploaded online, and shared widely through new networks in an effort to track Merci down. She turned herself in to local authorities one week later on December 29th and is currently being detained in a male facility on Rikers Island in New York City.

We know of 22 TransWomen who were murdered last year in the United States, the majority of them being Black TransWomen. The threat that Merci felt is based in this reality, and all the violence face by Black TransWomen in this country. This is our chance to show Merci that we are here for her and that we care about her life!

Jail is not safe for anyone, especially transwomen of color!

We are urgently raising funds to get Merci out, get her the things she needs while inside, and to support her immediately after her release! Bail information is not explicitly stated on the site because technically it is against all crowdfunding site policies to raise funds for bail or legal purposes.

The judge set Merci’s bail at $20,000, which means we need to raise $2,000 to get her out. If 200 of us donate $10 we could have the total amount and post Merci’s bail. Anything above $2000 dollars will go directly to Merci to support her inside and when she is released. Let’s show for her by raising the $2000 bail amount TOGETHER! <3

PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE INCLUDING TEXT AS THE BAIL INFO IS NOT LISTED ON THE YOUCARING!

Korean American culinary sensation David Chang is asked, What is the most under-rated cuisine? Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, he says Chinese food and explains that China is larger than Europe and that US Americans have no idea what real Chinese food is, nor does he believe they want to go beyond Panda Express, egg rolls, and General Tso’s Chicken.

White People in July VS White People in October

I remember when I first found out the truth about “Somali pirates” I got chills because of how horrific the truth was and how insanely creepily well the media had twisted the situation. Every single fucking article making it seem like these “pirates” were just after money or something holding innocent people hostage and I never gave it a second thought, why would I? There was no indication that people were trying to legitimately fight off disgusting imperialism that left nuclear waste in their waters, that over 300 people have died from radiation sickness, that Europeans have been stealing Somalia’s seafood because they overfished their own waters and the indigenous fisherman are starving and so these “pirates” emerged to deal with those stealing their country’s natural resources. The truth is enough to make anyone sick to their stomachs.

13 YEAR OLD GIRL WASN’T THE FIRST: OFFICER BEN FIELDS HAS A HISTORY OF TARGETING AND VIOLENTLY ATTACKING MOSTLY BLACK PEOPLE FOR MINOR INFRACTIONS

Students have known about this violent cop, Ben Fields, for years. And if the students knew, then the teachers knew. And unsurprisingly, this school has a high student population of black kids (such violence towards students wouldn’t be tolerated at a posh white school). Cops with histories of violence shouldn’t be allowed to remain cops.

And this seems like a good time to remind everyone that black girls are disproportionately the most targeted group for suspensions and school discipline. Period.

 please help briana johnson!! she is 73 year old black trans lady from my local area who got fired from her last job within an hour of starting work, and when she filed employment discrimination complaints with the eeoc they told her that her case wasn’t worth them looking into. in the meantime she has had trouble finding work but still is trying to raise the money needed for surgery/hair removal/related things.

similar posts have been made about her situation in the past, but no one has donated in a month and she is still only at 1/25 of her goal after almost a year of having this page so please please donate if you are able to.
