The idea that non-police lynchings ever stopped in the US instead of whites just becoming craftier (evil) about it is so weird to me like

Sure they ain’t picnicking at a public hanging anymore but you seen how many more missing posters there’s been the past few years in particular right? How so many Black and Brown children are just fuckin disappearing too and never making anything more than a Facebook missing post?

We just only hear about them when someone cares about them enough to set fire to everything until it gets noticed.

[storyweavingspider]

Yes. Mainly by law enforcement or people working with them. We watch us disappear into human trafficking and mass graves and we can do literally nothing about it besides hope one of our loved ones wasnt one of them when we get news they’ve disappeared.

The law doesn’t exist to protect Black people, it exists to kill us.

215 people have been buried behind a Mississippi jail since 2016, attorney says

The issue became national news when families said they waited months for word about missing loved ones — only to learn their relative had be

Everyone should read that article about the graves. A woman filed a missing persons report on her son, who was missing for MONTHS.

Turns out, an off duty cop stuck and hit the son with an SUV. Was ruled "an accident"*, yet took months for them to notify her. She was in contact with them, offering leads, checking progress. *They didn't test the cop for drugs or alcohol, and deny he broke any traffic laws. He HAD HIS WALLET on him, with a state ID. A prescription bottle with HIS NAME ON IT. The coroners office was able to confirm his ID in a matter of days and shared that info with police.

When they exhumed his body, the wallet was still in his jeans, found by an independent examiner. The mayor claims there was no ID.

This isn't incompetence, this is malice.

Crump is a civil rights lawyer

Oh, and then she had to PAY 250$ TO CLAIM HIS BODY. She had to give these fuckers money, a lot of money, to claim a body they shouldn't have had in the first place.

Having your interests mocked as a kid and general low self esteem will have you insulting the things you like even when they're generally considered very good. Because you like it, and historically when you like something it's stupid and not worth anyone's time. So you will say nonsense like "I recommend this book/game/film, but it's okay if you hate it, it sucks, I really enjoyed it but that's because I'm an idiot" and you are recommending them the Citizen fucking Kane of that particular media type. And importantly: you need to stop doing this it is killing you

[scramratz]

It sucks there seems to be a concerted effort to distance the transfem and transmasc communities from each other. If it weren’t for trans women, I probably wouldn’t have realized I was trans until much later in life.

The cis women in my life were so miserable in their womanhood, I thought that misery was normal. Seeing trans women actually love and fight to be seen as women made me question my own misery

[homunculus-argument]

God will see you at the lowest point of your life, and say "what the fuck I thought I killed that thing." But you skitter too fast and you are too creepy.

[obfuscatingintelligence]

if you set off a rube goldberg type death trap to kill someone, if it's a long enough machine, it ceases to become your fault if somebody dies at the end. that's how I've gotten away with it all these years, and why I'm still going to heaven.

Someone asked me a while ago if I still had a photo of the worst sink I had ever seen while apartment hunting in Los Angeles. I assumed I deleted it so I didn't answer the ask and now it's gone, but as it turns out, yes, I do still have a photo of it.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I miss having a cat because one of life’s small joys is tossing that thing over your shoulder like a frickin sack of potatoes and abducting them for some cuddle time

[what-even-is-thiss]

The internet is truly a fascinating place where you can joke about abducting a cat for cuddle time and have that interpreted as literal

[what-even-is-thiss]

Anyways, I miss my childhood cats a lot. Those suckers would let us just plop them over our shoulders like babies or sacks of vegetables and carry them around until they wanted down. Quality bonding time right there.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Yeah, man. If a cat doesn’t consent to something, trust me. You will know.

Did you k ow if you take 3x the muscle relaxers than the intended dosage you will feel so so much better it actually speeds up the recovery process. Same goes for iibuprofen and tylenol, and probably all prescription drugs. Just triple the dosage
