Brazil: Woman Wearing #NotHim T-Shirt Attacked by Bolsonaro Supporters, Swastika Carved Into Skin

image

A 19-year-old woman wearing a #NotHim, or #EleNão, T-shirt has been attacked by a group of men claiming to support far-right-wing presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro in the Baronesa do Gravataí, Cidade Baixa neighborhood in Porto Alegre Monday.

The victim, who has refused to comment publicly on the attack fearing further attackes, told the Civil Police she was disembarking a bus and about to walk home when she was approached by the group of attackers.

After physically assaulting her, one of the attackers, she said, took out a pocket knife and carved a sign, similar to a swastika, into her stomach. The swastika is well known around the world to be associated with the Nazi regime of the 1930s and 1940s and is associated with ideas of racism and anti-semitism.

Hundreds of thousands gathered in different cities across Brazil over the last few weeks to protest against Bolsonaro, who represents the Social Liberal Party (PSL). The movement was led by feminists opposing the candidate’s sexism, racism, and homophobia and has been supported by leftist organizations.

Guys, this is serious. This isn’t the only attack. The situation has been escalating, there have been over 50 attacks over the last 10 days, which include a gay man tortured and shoved into a closet, a journalist stabbed and threatened with rape, a woman beaten, stripped and arrested by the police, a guy being run over when talking to his friends in front of a bar, trans people being beaten up, a man killed with 12 stabs, the list goes on. There have been reports of people being threatened where I live. 

Guys, please. I’m really sorry if I’m stirring up panic but I’m personally terrified for myself, for people I care about, and for you all. Please, do what you can do to stay safe, ok? 😦

SAVE THE BEES!

projectsavethebees:

Did you know that about 90% of the world’s nutrition such as fruits, nuts, and vegetables are pollinated by bees? Without the bees to pollinate our crops we will be a on shortage of food! In fact, there are more than 150 different chemical residues found in bee pollen, and the chemical industry have spent millions of dollars trying to cover up that they are not at fault. Since more grasslands and forests are converted into pesticide contaminated mono-culture-farms, bee colonies per hectare and habitat are rapidly shrinking every year. 

You can help spread awareness and save the bees by donating to Greenpeace or purchasing these honeycomb necklaces where a part of the proceeds go directly to Greenpeace.

What is GreenPeace?

Greenpeace is a global non-governmental campaigning organization that aims to expose environmental problems and promote solutions via using peaceful protest and creative communication.

I need serious help, guys.

We just got a notice in the mail today that our landlord is selling the house we’re renting. We have until the 20th of this month (October 20) to move, or we may talk about getting an extended stay, but the rent will be upped to $300 a week and we will have to get rid of most of our animals.

We only have 16 days to move out.

As many of you may know, I have been searching for a job, but I have not been able to secure a position anywhere. We are still paying up on hospital bills and fighting a financial dispute from when I was in school last year.

No one has to, but please, it could help out so much if some of you would be willing to donate to my Ko-fi or PayPal.

Katie is a gem and a dear friend and one of the nicest people I know. PLEASE HELP HER IF YOU CAN. She and her mother deserve security and happiness. 💖💖💖💖💖

Okay, so I am going away on holiday on Monday – Friday next week and I probably won’t be able to be on Tumblr as much. But I will be able to be on other social media, predominantly Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat. 

What I was wondering was if y’all chose which social media/s to use for next week, would you be interested in an obsessivenostalgicbaby account on it/them? 

I really want to be more social with you all and I am sure most of you will agree that there are easier ways of communicating with you all. 

If I do make an account on one of these, I will be posting photos and videos of my week next week since I really want to share more of what my life looks like with you all without being judged by people who know me in real life. 

I won’t expect much from you as a person, except from actually looking at my stuff and talking to me/asking questions if I decide to do a Q&A or something. 

PLEASE tell me if you’d be interested and which one would be better for you to access! I do really want to do this!

Ao3 has a good article explaining what’s going on with Article 13, Article 11 and other EU Copyright law stuff that’s going on and could affect your fandom. And by “affect” I mean “shut down” essentially. =(
