Abuse is not a game for memes and jokes.

Don't serve a country that allows police to kill you and yours with impunity whenever they please. The stories of Black military members being killed in the US by the police and *not* on battlefields abroad go back for generations.

on what will end:

Libraries 
Birds 
Retirement 
Recess
Sprinting during recess 
Hispid Hares
Starfish shaped like stars 
Inconvenience
Wrinkles

My Mama moved among the days
like a dreamwalker in a field;
seemed like what she touched was hers
seemed like what touched her couldn’t hold,
she got us almost through the high grass
then seemed like she turned around and ran
right back in
right back on in
