No offense, Americans, but your impeachment process is a fucking joke.

[charlesoberonn]

Imagine a trial where half the jury members are the defendant’s friends and co-workers and the other half are the prosecutor’s friends and co-workers, and the verdict is decided based on their vote.

In any normal trial this jury would be disqualified, but in a Senate trial this is the only option. It’s fucking absurd.

Wow thanks! We definitely didn’t know that!

the oft unspoken truth of society is that the line between quirky and cringy is often how conventionally attractive you are

Everybody has ancestors. EVERYBODY. Ancestral worship is for everyone no matter the religion or spiritual path. Those within the African diaspora are dealing with the generational trauma due to oppression and the symptoms of oppression. Those of European descent also have the generational trauma of being lied to, and a loss of cultural identity in order to blindly support a system that continues to oppress others. Healing said generational trauma will involve an alchemical process of healing the guilt, shame and embarrassment from what the ancestors have done so an ally can be born and that history does not repeat.

This one Caucasian girl told me that she began to work with her ancestors and she said that she could tell that some were still deeply racist in the spirit world, and others had learned to do better. She asked me, what can be done when she’s just trying to honor her “good” ancestors and be better. There’s certain rituals that one can do to block yourself from ancestors that don’t wish you well or that you don’t find useful. They don’t have to be elaborate. The key is that you have that right, and you have that power to define who has access to you.

I'm sorry....are you telling me...actually telling me...it is historical fact that Cambridgeshire witches...called the Devil.......Daddy.

Both fetishizing AND demonizing Voodoo as ‘spooky witchcraft’ is racist.

[tanknaka]

if you are under 18:

your nudes are child pornography 

people you send them to can be charged with possession of child pornography

you can be charged with distribution of child pornography 

don’t take nudes

[the-fisher-queen]

This is not about body shaming, this is not about ‘telling you what to do with your sexuality’ this is literally a federal crime don’t fuck with the law okay.

I hate people who encourage underage girls on this site to share their bodies. Please report it to tumblr support if you see this. It’s not about “dobbing” people in, it’s a legal issue and is harmful to minors.

[life-is-a-love-story]

Listen if I want to fucking send a nude to my boyfriend of over a year I fucking will I’m pretty god damn sure the government doesn’t have my phone tapped.

[stfuconnor]

the government literally does have your phone tapped… and if you break up with your boyfriend he can ruin your life with those pictures… long story short don’t send underage nudes

[baatjr-deactivated20150830]

if you’re not mature enough to recognize this post as a message to help protect you and educate you then you’re not mature enough to send those nudes in the first place no matter how long you’ve been with your partner. if you view this post as something offensive rather than informative then you need to sit down and think about that. think real hard.

[nonbinarypastels]

Also note that this isn’t just some hypothetical scaremongering post—there are multiple cases of teenagers who have been arrested, jailed and even put on the sex offender registry for this. It’s a very real danger that could absolutely ruin you life if you’re caught with these pictures of yourselves on your phone or if you send them to someone else who is caught with them on their phone or who, even worse, posts them publicly online.

Remember, once it’s out there, it’s basically out there for good. And can/will be used to ruin your life either through blackmail/revenge porn or getting you on the sex offender’s list.

And if you’re on the sex offender’s list, you can basically kiss goodbye to any chance at getting a job (especially where vulnerable people or kids are involved like hospitals, schools and care settings) or foreign travel (many countries consider sexual offences to be an instant “NOPE” when applying for visas/visa waivers e.g. ESTA.)

2020 has the same energy as that scene in Hercules where all the old people are gathered around the well casually discussing the various calamities befalling the city.

[Image: Tweet by Emily Mullin (@EmilyLMullin) and tweet by Isobelle Winter (@IsobelleWinter), both about the dangers of Facebook’s new preventative health screening tool. Images have been modified for visual ease but information has not been changed.]

Something to know about Facebook’s new “screening tool,” and advice/info that can most certainly be used outside of this specific situation.

For spoonies, the biggest deal is how this data, if leaked, could affect you in professional and insurance spheres.

Here’s Emily’s full thread, which discusses the details of the tool, and here’s Isobelle’s full thread, which extrapolates on specific dangers.

In the end? It’s another data grab. Data is worth money; don’t give yours away, especially not to Facebook.

[theauspolchronicles]

The government actually admitted during their stimulus package announcement that giving money to poor people would stimulate the economy because poor people are guaranteed to spend it (unlike rich people who use tax cuts just to get richer) which means THEY ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND ECONOMICS, BUT CHOOSE TO IGNORE IT EVERY SINGLE FUCKING YEAR JUST TO APPEASE THEIR WEALTHY VOTER BASE WHO HATES THE IDEA OF NEWSTART RECIPIENTS LIVING ABOVE THE POVERTY LINE.
