women are like diamonds: synthetically-produced women are not meaningfully different from naturally-formed women, and anyone trying to tell you otherwise is probably trying to justify keeping their women mines open

“The police spend very little of their time dealing with violent criminals—indeed, police sociologists report that only about 10% of the average police officer’s time is devoted to criminal matters of any kind. Most of the remaining 90% is spent dealing with infractions of various administrative codes and regulations: all those rules about how and where one can eat, drink, smoke, sell, sit, walk, and drive. If two people punch each other, or even draw a knife on each other, police are unlikely to get involved. Drive down the street in a car without license plates, on the other hand, and the authorities will show up instantly, threatening all sorts of dire consequences if you don’t do exactly what they tell you. The police, then, are essentially just bureaucrats with weapons. Their main role in society is to bring the threat of physical force—even, death—into situations where it would never have been otherwise invoked, such as the enforcement of civic ordinances about the sale of untaxed cigarettes.”

— An excerpt from Ferguson & the Criminalization of American Life by David Graeber (via actjustly)

since i think many will have had the memory slip with just how many other atrocities have occured in the past 11 years, or are simply too young to remember, the last bit about the sale of untaxed cigarettes isn’t just some hypothetical, it’s a reference to the killing of eric garner

Killing of Eric Garner - Wikipedia

this is the origin of the slogan “i cant breathe”, which was revived in the wake of the killing of george floyd.

On this day, 17 July 2014, Eric Garner was murdered by police enforcing a civic ordinance.

He was as tall as he was tall, and his eyes were the color they were. To describe his hair one would say that he had some. His face had all the features you'd expect, and none of the ones you wouldn't. "There he is," people would often say of him, but only when he was there. And they were right.

“If you deny any affinity with another person or kind of person, if you declare it to be wholly different from yourself—as men have done to women, and class has done to class, and nation has done to nation—you may hate it, or deify it, but in either case you have denied its spiritual equality, and its human reality. You have made it into a thing, to which the only possible relationship is a power relationship. And thus you have fatally impoverished your own reality.” Ursula K. Le Guin "American SF and The Other" in Science-Fiction Studies 7, 1975.

can i be real with you i'm gonna start biting people

[eraserheadadult]

i love how fat people know Exactly what i'm talking about but skinny people don't get it at all + are wildly misinterpreting this and making it about themselves

like this is about the very specific way people interact with sexual images of skinny women vs sexual images of fat women. i feel like it's a bigtime self report that you think this is about how sexual comments on the internet are bad

[imageartifacts]

Reading comprehension questions:

The image features two nearly identical pictures side by side. Where have you seen layouts like this before? What is their usual intended purpose?

The comment is left by the same user in both pictures. Imagine the person who left these comments. What does their reaction to each drawing tell us about them?

Both drawings are tagged '#Girl' but the comment on the left uses the pronoun 'they'. What prompted this?

The author uses the phrase 'i'm gonna start biting people'. What emotion does this convey? What can this tell us about the purpose of the post?
