All of these places look like heaven to this duvet princess.

Okay but that first one, I’m not sure y’all understand how deeply-instilled my desire for a cupboard bed has been since the days of David the Gnome.

I love a nook

YOURE TELLING ME THIS IS WHAT THEY’VE BEEN SHOOTING PROTESTERS WITH????

[katjohnadams]

YEP! These are meant to be skipped into the ground and then spin into people’s legs and dissuade people from advancing or move them away. FIRING THEM AT PEOPLE’S HEADS IS 100% AGAINST THE PROPER USE. AND THEY ARE SHOOTING THESE AT MEDICS. DOCTORS, EMTS, AND NURSES. AT CLOSE RANGE. THESE CAN BREAK YOUR SKULL. THEY ARE NOT A JOKE. THIS IS LESS LETHAL LIKE A BASEBALL BAT IS LESS LETHAL THAN A SWORD. BOTH STILL CAN KILL.

[scottishwobbly]

I only found out today they’re meant to be fired at the ground to bounce back at protesters… I don’t think  I’ve ever seen the cops use them that way

[id: A tweet by @FILTERMIN, which reads: “the name ‘rubber bullets’ is really deceiving. they aren’t bullet sized at all they’re actually HUGE. please spread this so people going to protests know how seriously dangerous they are. #Black_Lives_Matters”

An embedded picture, which OP has helpfully added a full version of in the second image, displays some rubber bullets, which are black objects longer than the width of the hand holding them, and two finger-widths wide. end id.]

A baseball bat is only less lethal than a sword when it’s not being used to batter in your skull

Halloween 14th

What the hell is this, It is snowing IN OCTOBER. I was out busy mapping the area when out of nowhere it started to snow needless to say I was SHOOK. All those carved pumpkins are gone completely rot away after this cold snap.... I still can't believe that there are Fuck Boys that don't even believe that they are the cause of this and that climate change is false.

Halloween 12th

Aside from the lengthy work of mapping today has been a good day. The white cat residing  in the house that that has been hiding since my arrival has let me touch her today, then she promptly ran away but I’m still counting it as a victory.

Halloween 11th

The mapping of the enemy's movements is going well they seem to have a few consistent hide outs they cluster around. My general has informed me to not initiate them until I finish my map work and they can send reinforcements. On another note the middle child has taught me the grandest of treats! You put a bowl of m&ms in the microwave for 36 seconds and they get all melted on the inside but the outside is still hard and crunchy! I can't wait to get back to base and tell everyone about this, especially cal.

Halloween 10th

I have started scooping out the rest of the town and have been mortified to find the numerous amounts of Fuck Boys that are in this town. It's seems as tho the farther I get from the residential area I am staying in the more of them I find. I have begun an extensive mapping of their movements and meeting grounds. On a lighter note the humans had to order more candy since I ate all the stuff they had originally ordered, but they only bought 2 bags so I don't think it will last till Halloween.

Halloween 9th

It's good to be back to the humans home I have finished staking out the residential area witch I am in, and I can rest easy knowing that I am in an enemy free zone. The weather has been dreary and has been raining for the past few days. It doesn't seem that it's going to let up anytime soon. The eldest son of the fleshie family is irritated that we have the same name which is odd. Because from what I've gathered about this area which I reside is that a large chunk of the population here is named Alex, so this isn't anything new. Either way the eldest son has come to calling me Skeletor witch I feel is a kind of mockery but I do not view it as such. Skeletor is a powerful skeleton that should be looked highly upon. Being referred to as his name should be taken as high praise.

Halloween 8th

I am relieved to say the campgrounds are free of any Fuck Boys and we are heading home today. As much as thing trip has been fun I must get back to scooping the town in which I have found myself. I should not rest till all Fuck Boys have been identified and dealt with. I am restless to get back to my “base” and continue my work. But I can not deny how serene it is out here in the woods.

[deadalex]

Halloween 7th

The human family is going camping and invited me along. I believe that this would be a great opportunity to scoop out the area for any potential enemies, so I am going with them on their camping trip.

Halloween 6th

The family of fleshies that have been harboring me have come to call me “Dead Alex” as to differentiate me and there eldest son. I at first found it a tad insulting that I must be the one to have a different name. But i have found that the name has grown on me. The clothes I arrived with have began to smell (most likely having to do with being curled up in a pile of candy wrappers for 2-3 days). The fleshies have offered to let me wear some of their clothes while they wash mine.  I decided on a lovely purple dress that used to belong to the middle child evidently it no longer fits them but they couldn’t bring themselves to see it go. They said that it fits well and looks good on me saying that I should keep it. I must say this is one of the loveliest things I have ever owned. My general has gotten back to me. He says that there are no skeleton bases near my positioning, and that with my luck being as it and finding a family willing to let me stay with them that I should stay where I am and do surveillance this my area. The family that is allowing me to stay with them is for the most part nice the wife is an intelligent fleshie and is a professor at a nearby college the husband likewise also works at the nearby college. If I heard correctly he works with radiation. I find this concerning but the family doesn't seem to bat an eye at it. The youngest son spends most of their time on the computer learning about programming. I believe they have a bright future ahead of them. The middle of the offsprings mood seems to fluctuate often but is all around a good person. They attend the college there parents work at. I am unsure about the eldest son. He cuts himself off form the family most of the day by playing on his computer or locking himself away to work on homework. He is most elusive and seams on edge constantly. He too attends the college his parents work at.

Halloween 5th

I have arrived at the house of a family of humans. they were most surprised to find me in the cardboard box, thankfully this surprise masked over all the candwrapers that littered the inside of the box. These humans can not understand the language of the skeleton and think that I am mute. I managed to convey across to them my name and the reason for my arrival in there home. They have graciously offered to harbor me in there house and offered me there spare room in the basement. My deployment has gone much better than expected I am thankful I was able to find a house of pro skeleton fleshies. I set up in the room they provided and contacted my general for further instructions letting him know of my current positioning. The eldest son of the household was still asleep when I arrived so I decided to be friendly and greet him. The Interaction did not go as expected. He is unlike the rest of the family and was greatly spooked by my presence. Evidently as it turns out his name is also Alex.

Halloween 4th

It’s dark everything is dark always. time seems to be only a concept here as I wait to be released from this cardboard box. I do hope I arrive at my new base soon.

[deadalex]

Halloween 3rd

The cardboard box that is carrying me has begun its journey to the destination of my deployment. The people who ordered this cardboard box ordered candy so it would seem i do not have to worry about starvation.

2018

Halloween 1st The Fuck Boys have had the summer and have made a valiant effort to stifled the war efforts of us Skeletons. We have lost many of our ranks but with the month of October upon us it is the month of the Skeleton armies. It is time to rally to the troops and fight the good fight. My general is planning to deploy a great deal of our numbers to other stations throughout the world that took a large hit in numbers. I fear that I may have to leave my family behind. And if I am to be picked who is to say what awaits me at my new destination. I fear the uncertainty of deployment.

Halloween 2ed My fear has become reality but its not as bad as I thought it would be. My general has given me the mission of being a sentry in the state of Minnesota only one state over. I have infiltrated a target shipping facility and have hid myself inside one of the boxes heading for this state of Minnesota. The box is dark and cramped I do not know how long I will be confined to this cardboard vessel.
