I replied, ”I registered the contract this morning and the gardening has already begun.”

Coalsmoke brightened up a lot at the news.  She hoofed over a fat purse and an envelope.  “Would you please deliver these to the Reverend before you go back up the mountain?”

“My pleasure.  Will you be coming up for our Daring Do reading anytime soon?”

She winced slightly and told Arms, “Grumpy likes to read aloud.  We share a guilty pleasure in the Daring Do books.  When I can, I join his small reading circle.” She smiled softly, and added, “It reminds me of the best times of my fillyhood.  Grumpy has a wonderful reading voice.”

To my surprise, Arms replied, “Then it is something that you should do, and often.  So many of us leave foalhood behind and with it, simple joys.”

A shaky hand beat the hailing drum of the Carsis Rising, “We surrender!  We can’t get a white flag up!”

“Surrender accepted!  Furl all sail.  Wait for boarders until we have done with the rest of the Secret Fleet!”

Runners brought welcome news to the Captain and the rest of the catapult crew.  The lance from the Carsis Rising had hit well above the water line and a few compartment bulkheads had been broken.  Damage Control already had the hull tight.  There were three casualties, no fatalities.  No severe damage.

While the Grandalor had been fighting her engagement, the rest of the Secret Fleet began to raise sail in an effort to get away.  They saw the ease with which the Crossover and Carsis Rising were dispatched.

She patted one of the farmers on his shoulder and pointed to the circle.  “Think that you can hit it or at least come close, with a stone?”

He chortled, “Piece of cake.  You seen me chuck darts, right?”

“Right.  Stand as much behind the door as you can and hit that thing with a rock.”

Putting tongue to cheek, he observed, “I might need that door for protection?”

“You are dead right.”

His first stone bounced about a meter off target.  Taking a breath and holding it, he let fly a second time.

The blast rattled the whole building.  Looking out, the group saw a crater about four and a half feet across by perhaps six inches deep.  The whole front of the building was deeply pocked by gravel and other debris.

Sande observed, “The ones that we are going to make will be stronger that that one by a good bit.  Should remind the Know Nothings that what you DON’T KNOW CAN KILL YOU.  Shall we begin?”

One of the most interesting things I’ve noticed about non-natives appropriating our stuff is they never want anything but sage, smudging, and feathers.

Native people will share: our food, our music, our dancing, our art.

But no one is interested in those. They don’t CARE about our food and music. We never see those things in popular culture. Non-natives just want to take our religious items, because they feel entitled to the things people don’t want to share.

This is literally what happened with the War on Drugs. They literally admitted it. I’m on mobile now but I’ll link it when I have a chance. Top advisors literally said they knew they were lying about the drugs but you couldn’t make it a crime to be black or to oppose the war (Vietnam war) so they made up the war on drugs as a strategy to take out black people and people who were anti-war.

Not to mention that literally almost all of the major leaders of the Black Panthers were imprisoned for bullshit like conspiring against the government/spying/treason/terrorism/etc. That’s literally what happened. They had a voice and the government wanted to take it away. So they made them criminals so they could no longer have a voice (both literally and metaphorically).

Another super fucking fun fact is that Angela Davis and Martin Luther King were on the FBI’s Most Wanted List. So yeah. Fuck felony disenfranchisement. It’s literal corruption and violation of basic human rights.

Even less fun fact: there are OVER 6.1 MILLION people in the US who are forbidden from voting due to a felony conviction. Well over 50% of those people have completed their sentences, finished their probation/parole and are now working, tax-paying citizens living in their communities.

[odinsblog]

It gets even worse than that: prisoners can’t vote, but they dO get counted in the U.S. Census. So places with prisoners get allocated more fiscal resources and more political representation in Congress. All of these things are not simple coincidences. It’s planned, systematic and structural racism. Mass incarceration is another form of voter suppression.

I am not telling anyone not to vote. But like anything else, electoral politics has its limits, and can only go so far. Grassroots organizing, sit ins, direct action, protests, and yes riots, are also necessary components of implementing social justice and change.

Prisoners should be allowed to vote, and at the very least, all people who have served their time should automatically have their voting rights restored.

If you were arrested for protesting in Chicago, Indianapolis, or Louisville, the law firm of Derrick Morgan Jr, Esq will represent you pro bono

[tsscat]

Here is a thread of lawyers and law firms representing protesters pro bono

[babybear]

also donate to local free legal aid organizations, because as great as it is that these lawyers are providing free services rn, many legal aid orgs already provide free services every day to people who can’t afford to pay for legal help, and rely entirely on donations. bail is important but its only step one in what will be for many a very long and expensive legal process. there are often dozens or more in each state so i wont compile a list but you can easily find the ones in your area by googling. and dont forget about the legal aid orgs geared towards immigrants, because many protestors may face deportation or other retaliation that jeapordizes their ability to stay in the US.

[tsscat]

You’re right! Here are two that I’ve found:

Legal Defense Initiative of Know Your Rights Camp: Created by Colin Kaepernick and focused on getting legal resources and lawyers to protesters in Minneapolis

NAACP Legal Defense Fund: legal aid fund dedicated to fighting for racial justice

Guys please add on more if you know any!!

[tsscat]

Two more I’ve found:

Black LGBTQIA+ Migrant Project by Transgender Law Center:  Project dedicated to ensuring “the liberation of all Black people through community-building, political education, creating access to direct services, and organizing across borders”. You can also check out and donate to the other projects the Transgender Law Center has on their website (linked).

Baltimore Legal Action Team:  Dedicated to legal action that “serves grassroots movements” and promotes race equity.

About KURIN’S FOLLY : Part 8 of 15

@mordenheim​ READ, LIKED and REBLOGGED

KURIN’S FOLLY : Part 8 of 15 to

@nevermord​ where he examined the situation clearly:

You are correct about the Kurin/Lissa situation.  It is a bit awkward for them.  Lissa, now that she has gained an understanding of why she can’t have her husband back, is honestly trying to sort out and save her relationship with her daughter.  It is easier for Kurin because, until this day, she did not know of her mother’s dangerous delusion.

As for Juris, well, we have about ½ the story left to see what he may be up to.

Now Morgan sneered, “Don’t keep too good a track of things, do you?  The Master dismissed them Wohans ago.  Said anybody that you picked had to be rotten!”

Lissa looked shocked that anyone would lose an apprenticeship simply because they were picked by somebody the Master disliked.  Kurin’s reaction was completely different.  She suddenly smiled.  “They’re free?  Good.  I need them.  Go get them for me and you can go back to the boat shop.”

Suddenly, Morgan realized that he was being dismissed and snarled angrily, “What’s the matter? Aren’t I good enough to make stupid toys and shit?”

Eyeing the latest gluing error pointedly, Kurin replied, “No.  You are not.  Go.  Get me Luin and Roper.”

Sullenly, Morgan said, “I don’t have to do anything that you say.  Master Juris said so.”

A soft voice behind him made him jump.  “Would you care to repeat that to the Captain?”

Until he was ready to cast his net over the whole school, he was going to keep it that way.  It had been tricky politics to get the ship’s Council to agree to keep the contents of the note from the crew, except for the fact that it would enable them to recover Kurin. Master Juris had been the most difficult to convince.

“There may be more than just recovering me behind the Longin  coming early, Tanlin,” said Kurin earnestly.  “Captain Mord has been acting strange ever since I was poisoned.  I don’t know what he will do anymore.”

“I have had an idea about that problem,” said Barad, approaching them across the gently rolling deck, a mass of parchments in his hands. “I had the scribes give parchment and pen to all who can write. These are instruments of personal surrender to you in accordance with the Council Edict.  Tanlin, my love, yours is here.  You were busy, so we prepared it for you.  It only needs your signature.”

Barad proffered a parchment to each of them.  “Kurin,” he smiled, though solemnly,  “you and Tanlin are the only people in the world that I would trust enough to do this.  This one Kurin, is your receipt for and acknowledgment of the surrender of the Grandalor and her entire crew.”
