At around 5pm on Sunday, August 23rd, 29 year old Jacob Blake was shot 7 times in his back by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Sources say police were called to the scene to settle a domestic dispute between two women, in which Blake was helping to de-escalate the situation. After being tased by the Kenosha police, Blake walked back to his car to check on his children. As Blake walked away, an officer grabbed him by his shirt and shot him 7 times at “point blank range”. Blake’s three young children (ages 3, 5, and 8) were traumatized as they watched the police shoot their father. This story is still developing.
Two officers have been placed on administrative leave and the shooting is being investigated by the Wisconsin Department of Justice.
Join GoSociafy in demanding justice for Jacob Blake.
*DISCLAIMER*: Please help in spreading this story but please do not share the video of the shooting, as it can be harmful and re-traumatizing.

So I’m probably going to get some heat for this but that’s okay. I am against adf.ly being used at all but in regards to my CC especially. I’m not mad at anyone who uses it, I still love and appreciate you and the work that you do! ☼ But I think that it’s time to find an alternative. Please support the creator that is in the link shown here, she is lovely and makes fabulous CC! ♥
So here is a little tutorial on how to bypass the new adf.ly page that pops up now after the initial page. It comes up after the chrome extension skips the ad but cannot always be skipped by that alone. So with these simple steps you can bypass the whole shebang and hopefully avoid a debilitating virus! :)
Also, any editing of my CC that I find behind adf.ly links will be put on my website under the photos of the image as a direct link to the file sharing service.

The Philippines has been recently struck by two very strong typhoons in the past few weeks (and another one on the way) and a lot of people have been afected by it. If you can, please pray for us and donate to some donation drives to help those in need.
Many people have been displaced and the flood has reached as far as the second floor. Please pray for us and keep us in your hearts. Thank you. I’ll try to update this post later when I find some links for places to donate..
In many cultures, ethnic groups, and nations around the world, hair is considered a source of power and prestige. African people brought these traditions and beliefs to the Americas and passed them down through the generations.
In my mother’s family (Black Americans from rural South Carolina) the women don’t cut their hair off unless absolutely necessary (i.e damage or routine trimming). Long hair is considered a symbol of beauty and power; my mother often told me that our hair holds our strength and power. Though my mother’s family has been American born for several generations, it is fascinating to see the beliefs and traditions of our African ancestors passed down. We are emotionally and spiritually attached to our hair, cutting it only with the knowledge that we are starting completely clean and removing stagnant energy.
Couple this with the forced removal and covering of our hair from the times of slavery and onward, and you can see why so many Black women and men alike take such pride and care in their natural hair and love to adorn our heads with wigs, weaves, braids, twists, accessories, and sharp designs.
Hair is not just hair in African diaspora cultures, and this is why the appropriation and stigma surrounding our hair is so harmful.
