Are you struggling to sift through all of the information surrounding the pandemic? 

Check out NAMLE’s brand new graphic series “5 Ways to Cope with the News: Pandemic Edition” created in collaboration with Tumblr and Tumblr Creatr Ellis Van Der Does.

One thing we’ve learned from COVID-19 is that media literacy has never been needed more. As we deal with the pandemic, we also face an “infodemic”—an overabundance of information that makes it difficult for people to identify factual and trustworthy sources from false or misleading ones.

Media literacy can protect us by helping us navigate the flow of information. It teaches us how to ask questions, be skeptical, and be cautious about the information we take in.

Media literacy is the ability to ACCESS, ANALYZE, EVALUATE, CREATE, and ACT using all forms of communication.

In its simplest terms, media literacy builds upon the foundation of traditional literacy and offers new forms of reading and writing. Media literacy empowers people to be critical thinkers and makers, effective communicators and active citizens.

Pride was always a protest.

Blackout Tuesday! ⚫️✊🏾

the gays getting ready to spam dreamworks after noelle said that she wants to do a she-ra movie and that it is a possibility if we keep asking for it

so some republican friends need to learn that the black lives matter movement is not about politics and is about basic human fucking rights. this isn’r about advertising for elections, this is about stopping innocent people of color from getting killed by cops for doing nothing. this is about the justice for those who were killed by cops and those cops have not gotten convicted for their crimes. this is about stopping white supremacy and racism from infecting our country any longer. this isn’r about fucking politics.

Idk who she is but This is how dumb people sound when they say all lives matter 🙄

What just happened on CNN? Im at work and so wasn’t somewhere I could watch

Sure I’ll sum up.

So there was a very good peaceful protest by.... Lafayette Park? Right outside the White House. They were chanting, they had multiple reporters in the crowd, it was fucking CHILL, people were waiting for Trump to do a speech in the Rose Garden.

Then, out of nowhere, truly NOWHERE, the cops closed in from three directions and threw gas into the crowd. They used rubber bullets on the crowd IMMEDIATELY. One dude told the reporter “They don’t care about news, move.” They drove out the totally fucking peaceful, pre-curfew protestors.

They moved them all out, and Trump started speaking, and you could hear the fucking gas going off over his speech. CNN fucking did a splitscreen to show the peopple being shoved back as the motherfucker stood up there and said he would protect our rights and would mobilize the military against people.

Then back to the reporters, and everyone was forced further and further away. One woman on a bike told the reporter “They are getting the water cannons ready, you wanna move.”

TURNS OUT.

ALL OF THIS.

WAS BECAUSE TRUMP WANTED A PHOTO OP AT THE CHURCH ACROSS THE STREET. HE WANTED THEM OUT OF THE WAY SO HE COULD STAND WITH A BIBLE IN FRONT OF A CHURCH.

Even CNN is calling him a dictator, at 7PM.

Then the Illinois governor came out and called him a racist, xenophobic, misogynistic failure.

ETA: OH AND AFTER THE FACT one of the CNN ppl said that the cops claimed they gave three warnings to the crowd to disperse. There were reporters literally in the crowd, and didn’t mention hearing anything along those lines and where as shocked as anyone when the crowd was forced to move. So they’re fucking lying.

so trump’s hiding in a bunker after anonymous threatens to reveal all the evidence that proves that he is a pedophile and has sex with children? AND because minorities were protesting for basic fucking rights?

imagine what he’d have done if we actually had a war in January. maybe some of us should rethink our decisions the next time the election rolls around

also for my previous post: this is literally the only time i’ll talk about black butler, please don’t follow me for it
