"I tell sincere white people, ‘Work in conjunction with us- each of us working among our own kind.’ Let sincere white individuals find all other white people they can who feel as they do- and let them form their own all-white groups, to work trying to convert other white people who are thinking and acting so racist."
Isabel Chen, a medical student at UBC, is part of a team that has invented a mobile panic button for street-based sex trade workers in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
A voice or text message is first recorded onto a SIM card, which is inserted into a GPS-enabled device such as a pager that would only need to be charged once a week. Pressing a button on the pager activates the GPS and sends an emergency message and GPS location to a contact who can get help. Because the GPS is not activated until the device is activated, the anonymity of the user is preserved.
This is such a great idea I’m surprised it wasn’t already invented years ago!
Technology for safety and good!
this is awesome
"No, the black race shouldn’t ‘get over’ slavery and forget about it. To forget slavery is to forget history, and to forget history is to allow it to repeat itself."

USEFUL WAYS OF TAGGING: #[topic] cw, #[topic] tag, #[topic] tw, #[topic] trigger warning, #[topic] content warning, #[topic] talk, etc.
this is so people who use tumblr savior to block [topic] can just block one thing: #[topic] which appears in each one of these tags. blocking the word without the hashtag may hide many posts that weren’t actually about [topic], especially if it’s a common word or phrase. it’s an inconvenience
NOT USEFUL WAYS OF TAGGING: #tw: [topic], #cw: [topic], #trigger warning: [topic], #content warning: [topic]
this forces a person who wants to block posts that are about [topic] to block every single variation of these, filling up their blacklist and making it slower. it also increases the likelihood that the person will not have blocked any single variation.
WORST TAGS: #trigger warning, #content warning, #tw, #cw
these tags are absolutely useless for warning people about topics. just
for example, here are some common topics someone might choose to avoid: violence, blood, spiders, insects, snakes, food, eating disorders, body horror, rape, self-injury, suicide, sexism, racism, ableism, abuse, etc. etc.
many of these have absolutely nothing in common, labeling them all with “trigger warning” is of no help to anyone. “trigger warning” could mean there’s a picture of graphic violence or it could means there’s a picture of somebody eating a salad. it doesn’t mean anything.
thanks!
