If you're new here:

I'm a minor (as in below 18), neurodivergent, physically disabled, poor, punk, and queer. I make a wide variety of posts, most of them concerning those things. I love getting asks and being tagged in things! There are things under the cut. Many of them. Have fun and drink water 🫵

Don't interact with me if you're a harry potter fan, map/pedo, or proshipper. I love unions and abortion and gay marriage.

actually pigs shouldn't be at pride even outside of uniform. fuck those guys

if you decide to become a police officer then that outweighs any other marginalised identity you can rustle up like. not sorry, who asked you to willingly become a pig

I have heard of black people warning their kids that the race of a police officer is cop and you should not expect solidarity from them. The same applies to other types of minorities.

The sexuality of a police officer is cop.

The gender of a police officer is cop.

When you become the enforcer and protector of capital, you are making the deal to be slightly favored by the system over others like you, in exchange for being its servant. Your solidarity is with the system that you serve, even if it hates you.

If you want solidarity with those the system hates, you cannot be the system's servant and defender.

I dunno, guys I want to become a soldier/cop when I get older, but with how many people having been hating on it, I feel like I could genuinely get more dangerous threats if I say that I genuinely went through with it and went to a Youth Cadet Academy... (which i'm about to) It's simply conflicting, as I've dreamt of being a cop and/or a soldier since I was little and having the ultimate honour of having my two last names to wear on my chest is the honour I want to wear. But I'm not so sure on how I can do that, if my choice will cause other people to feel free enough to call me a "pig." If I can't become a cop or a soldier, what else can I become? I don't know what else to do, as I've always wanted to prove to my family that I could do it too, that I could be like my grandpa and wear a silver medal.

crazy-pages

I will be blunt. Those are both professions where you sign up to participate in incredible violence against mostly innocent people, with a few possibly legitimate targets for force thrown in there. But the violence you might participate in can be so extreme that it defines people's life experiences forever after - assuming they very to have a life.

That can, should, and likely will have reputational impacts for you.

But if the thought of those reputational impacts is the most striking thing for you, and not the enough of the actions you'll be expected to take against others that will *earn* the moniker "pig"? Then I think you're going about this wrong.

If you become a cop, you will be joining the most prolific armed robbery gang in the entire United States by a wide margin. Police use a technique called civil asset forfeiture to steal things from people, often including cash and vehicles, without any declaration of a crime and with a very difficult process for the victim to get it back, which they often don't. If you join the cops you are going to be expected to participate in civil asset forfeiture, or support cops who do, and you will become one of the faces of the greatest armed robbery gangs in the world, for which, yes, some people will call you pig.

And you will be expected to support all of these abuses and more, including nakedly illegal ones, because police whistleblowers are universally retaliated against. Some of them are murdered and the murderers get away with it. And there is such an enormous glut of things to whistle blow about within police forces, everything from unethical overtime practices to prisoner rights violations to coercive interrogations to sexual violence towards prisoners (especially trans prisoners) to the simple civil asset forfeiture I mentioned earlier. So if you go into that job and you come out anyway other than disgraced and with your pension stripped and you and your family threatened because you turned whistleblower, yes there are many people whom you will have earned the title of pig.

From 2000 and 2019 Cops Seized $69 Billion From People, Most of Whom Were Not Even Charged with a Crime

Whistleblower laws have advanced in public and private sectors, but protections for police who report illegal or unethical behavior lag far

In the military, a full quarter of all women soldiers and 2% of men are raped by their comrades, and this is almost entirely covered up at every level. Successful prosecution and action taken about these matters is incredibly rare. It's much more difficult to get information on the right at which US soldiers rape civilians and enemy combatants, but everywhere US soldiers are stationed there are accusations of rape and cover-ups of those rapes where US soldiers are moved out of the jurisdiction to avoid facing local justice. There's been a small handful of successful convictions over the last few years, but out of thousands of accusations and even more kept silent out of fear.

If you join the military it is statistical guarantee that you will be working with both ongoing rape victims and their active rapists, whether you pay enough attention to find out or not. And handling this by the books in a way that won't get you a dishonorable discharge will result in no protection and no justice.

This is without even addressing the actual violence the US performs, especially right now. I am talking about purely the moral cost of what the military demands you be cool with and what sexually violent crimes against civilians it will defend its soldiers from.

So yeah, you take those path, some people will call you a pig and spit. If you decide you want to wear those symbols with pride anyways, that's your call. But now you know why some people spit on those same symbols.

From the media that brought you "Millennials are killing [insert industry here]" articles for years and years and years, now we have....

"Hey, Gen Z, we're gonna relabel vacations into something else now and tell you how you really should be wary of taking vacation because it might impact your financial future."

This is a goddamn dystopia, we know this, right?

[ID: image 1 and 2: text from an article titled: What is a micro-retirement? Inside the latest Gen Z trend

Micro-retirements might impact your financial future and career progression but DIFTP

While retirement typically occurs, after completing a career and saving and investing for it, a new trend is emerging among Gen Z career professionals called "micro-retirement." Micro-retirements involve taking a one to two-week break from work every 12 to 18 months.

image three: an edited comic panel of two cats talking to each other. the first approaches the other to say "i think this micro-retirement might impact your financial future and career progression"

the second responds, with a smile and a blank stare. it says "you mean the fucking annual 1-2 week vacation?"

Silly Game Time: Who are the last three characters you posted/reblogged about?

And now, with them in mind, it's time to play ... BAKE, RAKE, OR LAKE! Meaning which of them would you cook a plate of cookies for (bake), which of them would you work with for 3 months doing yardwork (rake), and which of them would you shove in a body of water (lake)?

(For me, it'd be ... The Austism Creature, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Count Dooku. And it'd be Bake, Rake, Lake in that order.)

I'm not in any of these fandoms (and thus only know like a touch of second hand knowledge about) and I did in fact have to look up the Sailor Moon character names but

Sailor Moon: rake. Chibiusa: bake. Betty Boop: lake.

"I love seeing Black children happy. It bothers me so much when people are buzzkills about the joys of children, but it especially pisses me off when people are annoying about the happiness- and loudness- of Black children. It’s already hard as fuck enough out here, it’s not going to get any easier, and now the kids are supposed to be miserable too? Let the kids be happy!

At any point this world might decide that they should be murdered for the audacity to be alive and Black; I want them to cheer and clap and dance and sing and blast music as LOUD as they can because they are here too and they have every right to be! Take YOUR miserable ass on somewhere instead, and consider why happy Black children bother you so much. Maybe consider that YOU might be the threat! You want to fight somebody, pick on somebody your own size!"

A very pertinent quote from my lesson on Black Childhood

This may be the best Pride merch I've seen from a major corporation.

Levi's said yes, actually. Assless chaps and a biker vest. Happy Pride.

And the assless chaps sold out on June 1.

They also specifically contacted members of the leather community, used them as models iirc, and donated $100k to Outright International. They talked the talk and walked the walk and put their money on it too. I don't really care that I can't afford and don't want this merch, I love to see my community getting the respect it deserves. Levi's said, "We make jeans which gays wear lots of jeans? Oh leather daddies? Let's call them."

fandomsandfeminism

I think Levi's donates to Outreach International every year too, as well as sponsoring pride events and other community support. They were offering Same Sex domestic partner benefits to employees in the 90s, and have been very public about their support for pro-lgbt legislation all through the 2000s.

So, you know, a giant corporation that walks the walk pretty consistently.

flashbcaks

They also this past year contributed some pretty decent prizes for one of the challenges in the new drag king reality competition series King of Drag - They're definitely walking the walk right now.

People die on the job every summer. Remember that water and shade breaks are crucial when working in the heat, and calling emergency services for signs of serious heat illness (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, headaches, dizziness, clammy skin, confusion, agitation, slurred speech, high body temperature, rapid heart rate, etc.) is entirely appropriate. If you’re afraid to call 911 for reasons such as being undocumented, you’ll need to get very familiar with how to prevent, recognize, and treat heat illness. If you are symptomatic and not allowed a break, water, or medical treatment, walk out. No matter how broke you are, your job is not worth your life.

rederiswrites

Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

It's rude.
