Apollo is when you’re a child carelessly running through a sunlit field; the grass is warm under your bare feet and it’s so tall it tickles your arms - and everything feels so alive, and you’re dizzy from the heat. The flowers around you smell sweet, and the chirping of songbirds overwhelms your feelings. You fall down on your back, nearly tripping over from excitement, and you roll down the warm flowered hill until there’s tiny pecks of blooming buds in your hair, and your clothes are wrinkled from the movement; a deep, happy sigh leaves your lips - there’s soft, deep buzzing above you, and you can’t tell if it’s the bees or the vibration of thick, heavy summer air. You look up, excited as every child is, eager to swallow the world up in one deep breath - and you feel alive.

hail, Apollon: The Radiant God. He who shines so brightly and emits radiant light. He who warms us with His sun rays. on this Sunday, i honor You.

i look out at the sun; and how it shines onto the leaves, and the ground, and how bright it makes the sky. how beautifully warm it is. and i think of You.

today, i will read a book in the sun for You. i will soak up the light, and the vitamins, and heat. i will look at Your rays; i will feel Your heat — and tears will well in my eyes. tears of pure joy. the pure joy that You cause me to feel. loving You, praising You, and honoring You is such an intense gift that it overwhelms me physically and emotionally. being able to honor You bring me so much happiness.

thank you for Your warmth, my dearest Son of Leto. thank you for the warmth that You have gifted us. Your warmth is through the sun, the way that sweet music flows and fills my body. realizing that hours have gone by, and you’ve listened to a hundred songs. Your warmth is singing along to a song, then hearing yourself and thinking “wow. i’m not too bad!”.Your warmth is reading a line of poetry that makes you stop and ask yourself how someone could even think of that. Your warmth is something i promise not to take for granted. once again, my Lord,

thank you. i love You.

Alrighty, I was trawling through the reblogs to see if anyone bothered tracking down a citeable source and couldn’t find one and I had the energy to look myself, so I did

and boy am I glad I did because YEAH THIS IS ACCURATE and fucking damning, also, here’s the full study and an assortment of citations

https://academics.lmu.edu/studyla/studies/policeandcommunityrelationssurvey/

That’s the general study–the part in the post above is from the Data Brief, page 124 (found here)

There are also various graphics and presentations that are worth a look, though I think the data brief might be more interesting overall–spend some time control+F ing to search around it and see what you can find…

just google “cops 40%” to find out more

[ID: A screenshot of a tweet from Stop LAPD Spying Coalition @/stoplapdspying. The tweet reads ‘LAPD is mad because this survey shows half of households who have to live with an LAPD officer want to defund the police, and 52.4% want to DISMANTLE THE POLICE:

Below the tweet is a table of data, showing responses from two groups: ‘police force member in household’ and ‘no police force member in household’. The survey asks whether the participant agrees with three statements: ‘proposals to defund the police’, ‘proposals to dismantle the police’, and ‘proposals to redirect money from LAPS budget’. The data is in the form of percentages. End ID]

requested by @sunshine-gremlin​​

RATING: MOSTLY RELIABLE

The study, as kindly linked above, is StudyLA’s 2022 Police and Community Relations Survey. 

The only inconsistency in the data above is in the tweet, which states 52.4% of people with a police force member in their household want to dismantle the police. The data shows that 21.3% responded ‘strongly support’, and 30.9% responded ‘somewhat support’. This adds together to 52.2%, not 52.4%

I would take caution in applying this study more broadly, as the sample size for people who live with a member of the police force is relatively small (132).

[ID: a table of data, with the titles ‘is someone in your household a member of a local, state, or federal police force?’ The data shows that 132 participants responded ‘yes’, whilst 1621 responded ‘no’. End ID]

Being the only guy who works in a beauty store is fucking hilarious sometimes. Im the only one who can sell our shitty beard shampoo and a not insignificant amount of our customers think im untrustworthy. According to my coworkers i use every mens product we have so they can get dudes to buy a shaving cream. Trying to explain to people that theres no difference between "men's" and "women's" products is like talking to a brick wall. Ive had multiple women get angry with me for sampling them out one of our "men's" moisturizers when they specifically said they wanted a mattifying one to control oil and that's the best one we have for those two things. I still think about the guy who came in asking if we had "masks for men." I contemplate ending it all every time someone returns a completely unused product that they absolutely refuse to try just because it either says or doesnt say "for men" on it. 90% of the time its the perfect product for them. I had a lady who was willing to buy a worse product for her needs that was more expensive just so it wouldnt say it was for men. Are you ever tired? Are you ever exhausted? These are the same kinds of people who say that im the one whos obsessed with gendering everything because im trans.

The Sun was bisexual and recognized as bisexual and kids were taught it was bisexual at schools. It mated with male AND female planets to make stars. #lovewins

[half-blood-goods]

The sun has been bisexual since the beginnings.
