Okay, I was gonna bitch about it in the tags of a post, but I’m just gonna say it: Adena shouldn’t have left Kat. I get it, believe me, I get how tough it is to be a hijabi and have a possible run in with the cops. But…as tough as those circumstances are, which, again, they are, it’s a whole layer of scary added on to the Muslim or brown thing because some cops can get pretty awful about you taking off the hijab or not, that is its own thing.

But Kat’s a black woman in America?? I mean…her life is very much in danger the moment she even looks a cop sideways. If Adena was going to talk about how much she likes to make people uncomfortable and if she was going to be all cool and independent and smuggle in illegal sex toys and not sign a paper that’d let her go free, cool, cool, cool, but to put Kat in harm’s way like that? Fair enough, it was Kat who escalated the situation. But then call somebody?? You know where Scarlet’s offices are, call her friends, her co-workers!

This is a heads up that when that Confederate show starts coming out–the one about the South winning and slavery becoming a modern institution and alldat. Yeah, when it starts syndication, and I see any of you chucklefucks putting gifsets, meta, fic, etc on my fucking dash uncritically, I’m blocking you. Like, I don’t like announce blocking folks a lot but I’m deadass about this shit. This is the most insensitive, inept, uninspired, and unimaginative piece of shit fictional media I have ever seen given a greenlight…and it’s on a premium network (because no regular network would probably greenlight this shit).

My hope is that as this announcement gains steam, we can kill this shit before a pilot can even be filmed and test shots done. My hope is that people solicited for roles in this show turn this down and have some integrity to not support this ugly ass white people wet dream. My hope is that folks can have some fucking respect and decency but…I see how some of y’all be acting when shit like this happens.

So! If you start supporting that show’s ratings and putting shit on my dash uncritically, you’re getting blocked. And then I’m going to personally track you down and pop off on you, your moms, your pops, your spouse, your kid(s), AND take your pets.

Cop: What agency are you with?


Aramis Ayala, the first African American State Attorney in Florida history
: I’m the state attorney.

☕️☕️☕️

Damn, re-reblogging to add that she’s also a badass in a stand off with the POS governor of Florida regarding the death penalty and independent prosecutorial discretion: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-constitutional-crisis-in-florida-were-all-missing/2017/07/12/16a68970-6299-11e7-84a1-a26b75ad39fe_story.html

(TL;DR- she announced she wouldn’t seek the death penalty in any cases before her office and the governor reassigned a bunch of homicide cases to a different office where the state attorney is pro death penalty. This is now turning into a court battle over whether or not he can do this to circumvent her professional judgment and discretion.)
