i have a suggestion

[muppethole-deactivated20240312]

more people would be for prison abolition if they just tried to send mail to an inmate even once

[muppethole-deactivated20240312]

for almost a year now i've been trying to send a copy of the literary magazine i edit to an inmate who requested one. his prison prohibits any written materials that so much as mention drugs, weapons, criminal activity, or malicious violence of any sort. i've been poring over what's available of the 95 volumes my magazine has printed over the years, and of those found 3 that might pass inspection. the first two were sent back undelivered two months after i sent them because one had a short story that alluded to a playground fight, and the other a poem that used the word "fist" in a nonviolent context. The third was returned for the stated reason that its contents depicted the use of firearms. i reread the entire issue, there's not a single gun mentioned in all its 120 pages.

while going back and forth with this guy trying to figure out how to get a copy of the magazine in his hands, two of my letters bounced back for unspecified reasons. i learned that inmates are not given their correspondents' original letters, but scanned copies, often poorly reproduced and sometimes illegible. these people aren't even granted the ink their loved ones used to pen their messages, or to hold in their hands the paper their loved ones held, if they're able to receive their words at all.

Something that bothered me a lot during visitation with my dad was it wasn't even in person?? They basically made us drive all the way out there to do a video call. Like in shows you see the bulletproof glass between ppl who have to talk thru a phone, it was kinda like that but we didn't even get to be in the same room it was a line of screens set into the wall. Everything about prisons is made to be dehumanizing.

[morlock-holmes]

If you don't have people you know in Prison, your naive assumption is likely to be that they are there to hold and rehabilitate the prisoners.

In fact, prison policy across the country involves a tremendous amount of gratuitous, unmotivated torture of the inmates.

You know what, looking back on it, my friends and I survived the Bush Presidency

We would have survived a McCain Presidency

We would have survived a Romney Presidency

I honestly worry that there are some people who would not survive a Trump Presidency

I don’t care how much you love Gary Johnson, or Jill Stein. On November 8, 2016, one of two things will be true: either Hillary Clinton will be elected President, or Donald Trump will be elected President.

Which one, HONESTLY, would be worse?

This isn’t the year to “vote your conscience.”

There’s a fucking dangerous man one election away from being President.

This is the year to vote to survive.

Any other year, this would be an exaggeration. We survived Bush, we could have survived McCain or Romney. This year, Trump’s danger is no exaggeration.

Don’t vote your conscience, vote to survive.

[heyitscdubs]

We will not, not, NOT SURVIVE Trump.

[notsafef0rtwerk]

The LGBT community will not survive.

The communities of middle eastern descent will not survive.

Women, especially women who want a right to choose, will not survive.

The black community will not survive.

The latino community will not survive.

The disabled community will not survive.

I guarantee that there are more groups.

We as a country will not survive a Trump-Pence Presidency

[goldstar-goldfish-deactivated20]

The poor will not survive

[rainxcanndy]

Please understand that Trump plans to not only do what the US did to Japanese Americans in WWII on a massive level with Mexicans and Muslims but also destroy the economy with it

[biglawbear]

Somehow this post is going around again and it’s appeared on my own dash and I still think Trump is going to kill us all. Y'all’s protest votes did nothing.

[biglawbear]

Hey look it’s my post from 2016

Now that it’s almost 2020, can you see that this wasn’t a fucking exaggeration

Do you understand now

This is going around again and now that we’re in the Democratic Primaries and y'all are already saying about how you’ll stay home if you’re favorite doesn’t win I’d just like to remind y'all that people are dying in the Trump administration

People are dying in concentration camps at the border

Trump rolled back Obamacare and now millions more people are without insurance

Trump is rolling back environmental regulations and climate change and pollution will kill us

States are banning abortion which will affect millions of poor women and women of color and SCOTUS night overturn Roe v Wade

Hate crimes against Jews and people of color and LGBT people are going up

There are Nazis in the White House and marching in the streets

And Trump has given tax cuts to billionaires and appointed judges that will take away your constitutional rights

Are you happy with your choice to vote third party? To stay home? Was it worth it? Was all of this worth it?

We’re facing the same choice again. We can’t have four more years of this.

Fight like hell for your candidate in the primaries. Then if and when they lose, get in line behind the winner.

We failed in 2016. The life and death stakes in 2020 are even higher.

Vote. For. Democrats.

Imagine going to a party and the white suburban stay at home mom with two overachiever kids and white dad who barbeques but doesn’t know how to barbeque and yet is always surrounded by other white Dads who compliment his barbqeuing even though they’re just store bought preshaped frozen patties from Ralph’s or Food 4 Less and while he’s cooking those the white mom comes out and says “okay kids, here’s some pizza!” And she pulls this out and starts telling the kids why its a “fun pizza” and then cries in her master bedroom when no one likes it or finishes it and the white dad is then consoling her why she sobs that she’s a terrible mother and ruined her fourth grade straight B+ sons birthday and thinks her kids hate her but they don’t care but she continues crying softly into her pillow while the children eat poorly cooked burgers with unmelted kraft singles and too much mayonnaise and the only other condiments are two pickles and pepper because the dad calls it his special burger with a secret spice but the spice was just pepper and the kids just keep playing E rated games on their Nintendo Wii while the 17 year old older sister starts cleaning the tragedy up and throwing away uneaten “fun pizza” and whole burgers dejected from the start while she dials Pizza Hut to get these kids an actual birthday lunch and the mother then throws a fit because the daughter did something the kids liked and she didn’t and was the only one making a huge deal out of it and the daughter was then grounded from her TV in her room for only two days and the son went to blow out the candles in his standard birthday cake from food 4 less the mom added strawberries to so she could feel she did something but was still slightly teary and sad because her day was ruined by no one wanting to eat her “fun pizza”

I love how the search function on this site is absolute garbage. I can look up a post word for word and I will NEVER find it

Pro tip:

Wanna find a post?

Write out what you remember into a Google search.

After you write that out, end with site:tumblr.com

Google will search for your text on just tumblr

In my experience, it’s way more effective than searching through Tumblr

(you can use site:SITENAME.com to search any site btws)

[rainbowgazes-archive]

This usually works but for some reason a lot of posts get indexed on google from a person’s URL based on the posts that were recently reblogged on page 1, meaning that this is only a tiny bit more reliable.

[archivehead]

I HAVE a solution to this, you have to write down site:tumblr.com/post “ “

and then write a direct quote (could be a fraction of a sentence) into the quotations, I’ve been doing this for years, and it’s so useful, it works like 99% of the time 

(the more popular a post is the more likely you’ll find it)

[rainbowgazes-archive]

you’re a genius holy shit

[krisdoesart]

Just used this to find a post I’ve been desperately searching for, thank you so much
