The Mystery Gang is POC for the childhood favorite Scooby Doo. Fred, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma and of course Scooby, join forces to solve a crime happening in their neighborhood, to find the plot is much deeper than expected. If enough fans comment, share and love it as much as we do, we can get the movie made.
(If you want to see this produce, share the original link only.)
Im more tired of white people stealing our vernacular, and adding their own meaning to it and driving it into the ground. Even moreso when they turn around and tell us to be tired of it too. Its frustrating lol.
It’s hella annoying.
I have to clean that word from my lexicon and not use it at all because the original meaning just vanished.
thinking about how christians who have pets won’t get to take them when the rapture happens. unlike ME who will continue to sin to increase the chances of me being able to stay behind with my cat, rip to yalls animals they finna die
I would say “you need Jesus” but apparently, that’s not going to work.
NUKIRK STOP ACTING LIKE IM NOT FUNNY
In which reality are we talking about here because I’m still waiting for a laugh in thisaone.

I see you king / when you breathe you let your heart sing We showed you mad love and your departure stings But we won’t cry / you shown kids that they can fly And it’s a small role, yet you electrify Imagine if I was knee high / and see a good guy who looks like me outside / of my mind’s eye What an impression it left / and that will never get theft Wakanda forever salute across my chest I cry when you gone / peers that never bond But through your art and my heart you live on It’s a celebration / of our narration To keep our voices in rotation We got more stories / tons of inquires More than black pain repositories You paint a full picture / & tho I’ll miss ya You will always be a fixture
so rest in power / you deserve your flowers you got them when you’re alive / so we can’t cower
So rest in power / your love just towers and I hope one day, we can all rise empower
I hope you leave clues… so I can be impressive as you…
Hi… I’m @nukirk, the guy behind this blog & on May 31, 2020, I was unjustly attacked by the NYPD during a protest, even though I told them I’m press and was not there to protest, just covering it. It was technically an arrest, but they didn’t give me any warning before doing so and pushed me to the ground and proceed to basically knock the wind out of me.
I’m featured in the above video. I’m pretty easy to spot. I’m the first guy walking into the frame. As you can see, I suffered a bit.
The cops messed me up in more ways than one as they lost my ID, purposely left my phone, bike and battery on the street to get destroyed by a fire truck and I’m trying my best to retain what’s left of my sound mind.
I haven’t been able to work to the best of my ability and I’m making less money.
So far, the fundraiser has collected 25% of the goal. I am not asking for much, just enough to get back on my proverbial and literal feet. I live in a place where my moral is very low. The only people who I can talk to I can’t really visit due to the pandemic still going on.
If you feel for me, please donate and/or reblog this post.
I just want to focus on getting better so that I can get back to my daily hustle.
Thanks.
First off, thank you to all the donators who gave thus far. It’s a wonderful feeling to know that at least 2 of my 3 main asks will be covered by the funds collected. I also want to thank the people who reblogged and spread my original post via other social media outlets that got it to the people that donated. Spreading the link helps more than you know.
However, now it’s time for me to stop pushing my personal story and call to action as the main story because it starting to take a toll on me. This is a personal fundraiser after all, with my own emotional stakes on the line, so of course, I’m going to take it personally.
My mental well-being is more important to me than sharing my story, which should be heard, but I rather someone else cover it while I heal enough first before continuing on to tell it myself. The video only debuted two days ago on June 17th, and yet as of this publishing (June 20), I collected more funds from people who didn’t saw the video, which started on June 11th. They read my story, took my words upfront and just kindly sent me on my way with an amount from $5 to $500. Fund collection slowed down after the video went up.
We’re living in a time where news about Black people, civil rights, death, and joy are on the forefront… oh, and let’s not forget we’re still in the middle of a pandemic! The people needing help and resources are always going to be endless and my voice is only one of many that needs help. But, despite all the troubles, I managed to surf the wave just fine until the NYPD literally pushed me to the ground and kneed me.
I still need help getting out of my current home as things around here isn’t going to get better, but I can’t wait around for assistance. There are people who depends on me daily, and I need to think along those lines.
With that said, the good news is, I do have enough to at least start on two objectives: getting a new phone to replace the broken one and 3 months of therapy + covering the doctor’s bill for the month.
I’m still going to push the fundraiser, through I’m not sure for
how long. It’s important that I still move out of this place, but it
might have to be with my own hard work. My recovery is probably going to
be a bit more stressful, but thanks to the donations and spreading the news from people like you, at least it will be a LITTLE easier.
I will use the fundraiser page to post up the money being spent on the stuff I said that I would be spent it on because I owe your some transparency as to how the money will be spent.
With all that said, I still encourage you to reblog and donate if you can. Any funds collected will go straight to helping me move to a better place. I have to get out of the house eventually. So, let’s see what happens.
I’ll update you on the process. Thank you for helping me out. Y’all been great!
Hi… I’m @nukirk, the guy behind this blog… and now, featured in the above video. I’m pretty easy to spot. I’m the first guy walking into the frame and the last guy to speak. Oh, and I’m the one who said some disturbing things about after getting arrested.
Now, as some of you know, I was attacked by NYPD on May 31, 2020. I was covering one of the protests as a member of the free press. However, I was assaulted without just cause, and most of my equipment, all of it I need for work, was destroyed. While these things can be replaced, my mental health is hanging on a thread.
I live with roommates, but I am alone. I don’t really have a supportive structure around me. I have been screaming at people who are pro-cop, but mostly in ways that doesn’t really push the conversation forward.
The cops messed me up in more ways than one as they lost my ID and what’s left of my bike and I’m trying my best to retain what’s left of my sound mind.
I haven’t been able to work to the best of my ability and I’m making less money. I had a goal that I will fall short on unless I have assistance.
If you feel for me, please help me recover and get back on my feet.
P.S. - You might be wondering why I didn’t attach a video. It’s coming and will be added to this post and fundraising page once it’s completed.
Update (6/11/2020 3:07 PM): In the fundraiser, I provided pictures of the injuries and the phone being damaged. Again, there will be a mainstream video featuring me added to the fundraiser once that airs. I could make another video retelling the story, but I rather wait.
Update (6/12/2020 10:09 PM): The total raised so far is $380, close to 8%. The video, which is being produced by a mainstream outlet, will be released before June 19th online and will then be attached to this fundraiser.
Update (6/14/2020 7:44 PM): The total raised so far is $400 (8.3%) and have been that way for two days now. I am going to wait until the video is released before I start reblogging again.
Update (6/15/2020 2:07 PM): Total is up by $550 (11.4%). Still waiting on the video release.
Update (6/17/2020 11:03 PM): Total is up by $1,195, close to 25%. I added the video to this as well as the link.
When I do “milestone posts” I usually do these in Black and White. But this time, I want everyone to appreciate this person in full color.
Also, my milestone posts are usually just photos, name and what they are mostly known for. But this one hits different because when she was alive, we were associates.
So this death is a little close - *sighs* too close to home for me. We were just two people talking and enjoying life when it suited us. But it wasn’t just tweet spats, it was offline stuff as well.
I helped her with a writing assignment by giving her a netbook when she was desperate for one years ago. She completed her project and we were associates ever since. She used to follow a lot of people on Twitter, but when she shaved down her list, she kept me on it.
We spoke on and off about things, mostly comical, some were news of the day. She put up with my jokes, hear me out when I have something important to say, and was overall just a pleasure to talk to in person… even if I have to LITERALLY look up. (She was a tall woman)
She hosted video chats and she was one of the few people that I actually watch an entire video chat with because she’s got the most interesting stories and always answered my questions. We had arguments just like anybody else, but it was never out of spite and when people tangle with me enough times, you get nice presents.
She was an awesome hip-hop journalist, a supportive person to everyone that stick with her, but also a beautiful writer of stories.
She’s going to be missed by me and many others. Her final tweet sadly was back in early May and like all final tweets… it’s bittersweet.
See you when I see you Jas.
I found out today the cause of death.
And now I’m hurt all over again.

It may have come as a surprise to you that I haven’t covered any Black people deaths. It’s because it’s too much for me. I wanted to, but can’t. I’m just a roller coaster of emotions and right now, I am exercising my right to NOT blow up on this tumblr.
The only good thing that came out of this is that it pushed me to want to help in some way, shape or form.
I’m looking for a spot to rent for a few months because my current home has no windows, which messed up my sleeping patterns. I found some rooms within my budget… but there was this huge ass catch…
… they were bedrooms that are currently in an office building…
… still with no windows.
And they are currently going for $300 MORE than I’m paying with no kitchen access.
