So this is my first post ever (after years using Tumblr 😅)

Police do not prevent crime. They mostly just mill around in the aftermath and write up a report. 

I’m so tired of this “Who will protect you from rapists and murderers if you don’t have police?”

There are currently 400,000 untested rape kits in the US. 

40% of murders go unsolved. 

So not only do police not prevent crime–they rarely even seek justice. 

Using resources to improve impoverished communities is a proven method of curtailing criminal behavior. Giving police tanks and military hardware doesn’t do jack. 

Republicans know exactly what Defund the Police means. And if the slogan were something different they’d still find a way to feign outrage. This is no marketing blunder. 

I think I’m going to let AOC bring this one in for a landing…

next time someone talks about welfare fraud, remember that if you’re homeless you’re not supposed to have food stamps and if you lose your home and don’t report it to DSHS so they can take away your food stamps that’s welfare fraud

[prrkxentrrkrrr-deactivated20240]

when i was on ABD (aged, blind, and disabled benefits – the only cash aid available to disabled people while we’re applying for SSI, a monthly $197) literally all money you get can be deducted from these benefits. this means that if someone sees you digging through the trash for food and gives you $20 the government will only pay you $177 that month. if you don’t report that $20 it’s welfare fraud

[prrkxentrrkrrr-deactivated20240]

astute readers might realise that there’s no way anyone in the country can be expected to live off of $197 a month, and that that would have to be supplemented by another source of income. and if that money is going to disappear as soon as that other source of income hits $197, it might as well not exist. you’re right!

when i was on ABD i had a patreon running that brought in a steady $13 a month. the person in charge of my case rounded up the amount of money i was getting to $15. i was penalised by $15 for making $13.

This is how the government keeps disabled people homeless. We aren’t seen as productive and profitable to society, so we’re slowly weeded our and killed this way. Our country is and has been enacting nothing short of a genocide on disabled people.

Finally finished all 6 of my Terrarium Life series~ I first started this series when Covid lockdown happened and everyone had to quarantine. It made me think about all the things we can enjoy by ourselves and how to focus on our self care and mental health. Be it reading books, cuddling with your pet, drinking tea, or tending to plants, take some time each day and treat yourself well <3 I’ll be adding stickers and postcards sets of this series and other new products to my shop for the upcoming Thanksgiving Charity Sale! There will be other exciting giveaways too but that’ll be a secret for now

Where

How do I describe  That feeling where You are where you are                                                                   I'm where I am Yet in that moment  You wear that soft look That you always do With the sleepish, "I am staying up past my bedtime" gaze I glance back with my "I wish I could be there" Trying to be aware  That time, Against our wishes, Inevitably ticks by  But that pause  ... The warm reverence  This intentional lull  A timeless ware  A constant longing 

For when does Where I am become Where you are

this isn’t joe biden’s win. this is the victory of black organizers who ran grassroots campaigns on the ground. this is the victory of the young people who used social media to get out the vote. this is the victory of the women, POC, hispanic americans, muslim americans, LGBTQ+ americans, and angry americans who have been fighting for breath for centuries. the fight isn’t over, but it’s ours to win.
