According to a report generated by the ACLU, of the one million incarcerated women in the U.S, 30 percent of them are black.
This despite the fact that black women make up only 13 percent of the overall female population.
This week several black-led organizations have united to bail out mother’s in more than a dozen jails across the country just in time for the Mother’s day.
This is the community. We stay united ,we fight and bring joy and happiness.
Today I was teaching my campers how to start a fire with flint and steel. As they grew increasingly frustrated, I mentioned that in a real survival scenario, they might use other tools and flammable materials at their dispense, like a camera lens or isopropyl alcohol.
I turned around to help two kids arrange their tinder. “Hey Ship, watch this!” called a voice. I looked over my shoulder to witness my favorite student create a fucking flamethrower by igniting aerosol sunscreen.
When the screams of surprise stopped, I said, “Good job. Very resourceful. Now please don’t do that again.”
I love this, no degrading, no punishment just, you did good don’t burn us.
he solved my fire puzzle, just… not in a way I ever want to see a child under my care so again
