remember when I said that the life you lead in the global north is directly dependent on the exploitation of people in the global south, no matter how oppressed you are in the context of the global north? Yeah
In Minas Gerais, Brazil, labor inspectors rescued 159 workers from slave-like conditions on 4 coffee plantations that supply Starbucks. All had received its C.A.F.E Practices (Coffee and Farmer Equity) seal. Some of the rescued workers were minors.+

i just learned what unschooling is and i don't know what to tell you other than this is child abuse and everyone who implements this should lose custody of their kids
I got into radical unschooling when my eldest was a baby but as she got older I found it lacking. This scenario is a parent's worst nightmare!

brazilian attorney here: i have no clue what legal team is advising taylor on brazilian law but the idea that paying for someone's funeral expenses could be considered an admission of guilt is ludicrous within the brazilian justice system lmao
@thislovve
i saw many people say that if she paid for the funeral it could be viewed as admitting her guilt in the court of law.
still disappointing that publicly we are left to assume she is doing nothing to help the family, they deserve so much more and so much better

We're gonna take a breather and reframe this as "we would love for you to join us in our struggle, as the imperialist hegemony of the US in world politics makes this decision a dangerous precedent for everyone"
just because you’re not an American citizen does not mean the overturning of Roe V Wade is none of your business. if you support womens rights and human rights you NEED to be vocal about how drastic and appalling the overturning of the constitutional right to an abortion is.

the movement for a free palestine has been a) a thing and b) international for a very long time. my parents have been advocating for it back when they were doing activism in 1980's Brazil.
‘free palestine’ isn’t a trend. it didn’t begin this week, nor in 2014. this is a lived reality for some - like my friends. they can’t just turn off their phones and forget all about it. it will continue to exist, even when it stops trending. even when the world is silent.
