ira - eye-RAH fuck if i know, man.

[ifionlyhadmorepaper]

if you believe:

- elon musk did a “roman salute” unfollow and block me, or better yet make yourself known so that i may block you.

if you believe:

- mass deportation of undocumented immigrants will solve the nations problems unfollow and block me, or better yet make yourself known so that i may block you.

- undocumented immigrants are criminals, or freeloaders, and deserve to be separated from their families, unfollow and block me, or better yet make yourself known so that i may block you.

if you believe:

- making abortion illegal will save lives, unfollow and block me, or better yet make yourself known so that i may block you.

- the only way for a persons bodily autonomy to be respected is if someone else violates it first, unfollow and block me, or better yet make yourself known so that i may block you.

if you believe:

- giving the police (who have a history of deep-rooted systemic racism) immunity will benefit anyone, unfollow and block me, or better yet make yourself known so that i may block you.

if you believe:

- other felons should not be able to vote, but this felon can be the leader of a country unfollow and block me, or better yet make yourself known so that i may block you.

if you believe:

- that abortion is healthcare

- undocumented immigrants are the backbone of the economy and do not deserve to be torn away from their lives and families

- giving the police immunity will put black men, black women, and other people of color in danger

- elon musk did a nazi salute

- donald trump is a dangerous man with no business being in the general public, much less a position of power

you may stay, make yourself known, share this to your blog, share wherever you can. we can no longer assume the spaces we inhabit with the people in our communities are safe anymore.

and if you voted for that idiotic and dangerous shit-stain of a president:

shame on you. shame on all of you, and if you feel regret, good. i hope it eats you alive while the rest of us walk on eggshells for the foreseeable future. you fooled us, you made us think that you were part of the safe space we had created, and you did not stab us in the back, you attacked from the front when you cast your vote and betrayed your community. do not dare call yourself a friend, or an ally, we see you for who you truly are. a sham, and a sorry excuse for a human.

me in 2022: if I have an hour to myself I can probably crank out 10k of writing

me now in 2026: it's been three hours and all I have is "she wants to fuck me with my uniform on" and "basketball 🏀"

why did I choose this hobby. why couldn't I be a whittler or something.

One of the most important things I learned in my Language and the Law class is that law enforcement will intentionally misinterpret every type of statement asking for a lawyer as not asking for a lawyer. Even directly saying it like this “I will not speak to you without a lawyer” can be taken as a simple statement of fact rather than a request for a lawyer. You literally have to state “I am now invoking my right to a lawyer” and every time they try to proceed with an interrogation you have to answer every question with “I am invoking my right to have a lawyer present”. You can’t just tell them you won’t talk without a lawyer or that you want a lawyer. You have to state that you are invoking your rights. Otherwise they could just say “well they just said they wouldn’t speak without a lawyer present. That’s not invoking their rights to a lawyer. It’s just stating a fact.” even just stating your right to a lawyer doesn’t count!

[penrosesun]

PLEASE share this addition. I am a lawyer who works in criminal defense, and this is one of the most avoidable things that people consistently get wrong about the Miranda rights.

Here are some more “ambiguous” phrases which courts have found DO NOT invoke your right to a lawyer:

“Maybe I should speak to my lawyer first.”

“I might like a lawyer.”

“I think I should have a lawyer present for this.”

“Could I speak to my lawyer first?”

“How long until my lawyer gets here?”

And perhaps most egregiously – “Get me a lawyer, dawg – ‘cause this is not what’s up.”

Here are the magic phrases which you need to know if you want to invoke your Miranda rights:

1) “Am I free to leave?”

It’s worth asking this even if the answer is obvious. Even if the officer does not let you leave, by forcing them to admit that you are not free to leave, you are creating a record which your attorney can use to prove that you were in custody. Miranda rights only apply if the interrogation is custodial, meaning that police officers will frequently claim that their suspects were “not in custody” to get around their Miranda rights.

2) “I am invoking my right to remain silent.”

Simply staying silent will not invoke your right to remain silent. As absurd as this is, you must explicitly say that you are invoking your right to remain silent in order to invoke that right.

3) “I am invoking my right to an attorney.”

As stated above, you must be not only clear and unambiguous, but clear and legally unambiguous. Don’t get cute. Don’t get sassy. And on the flip side, don’t get intimidated and use verbal ticks to minimize your request. Say the line with those words exactly – say it clearly, and say it once, and then say nothing else.

Because even after you’ve done all this, the police can still try to get you to talk. They’re not supposed to interrogate you, but they’re allowed to make casual conversation, and if that conversation just happens to circle back around to the thing they wanted to question you about, well, that’s really your fault for talking after you said you wouldn’t, isn’t it? Can’t possibly fault the poor officers when you initiated – if you really wanted to have your rights respected, you wouldn’t have talked to them in the first place.

The police know this, and they will mercilessly exploit this loophole. So, once you’ve successfully invoked your Miranda rights, any and all conversation you have with police officers will put those rights back into jeopardy. 

Putting it all together:

Ask: “Am I free to leave?”

If they say no, say: “I am invoking my right to remain silent and I am invoking my right to an attorney.”

And then shut up and do not say a single thing to them for any reason whatsoever until you have actually spoken to an attorney. Yes, even if it takes hours. Yes, even if they start talking to you about something else.

Finally, a very important disclaimer:

I may be a lawyer, but I’m not your lawyer, and I cannot guarantee that what I’ve just laid out here will always work for every situation. We didn’t get to this bizarre and absurd place overnight – we built this ridiculous system piecemeal, by deciding on a case-by-case basis that certain phrases were “too ambiguous” or certain types of questioning weren’t actually questioning at all. The law is still in flux, and is still fundamentally out to get you, and willing to bend plain meaning beyond all recognition to do it. Even if you invoke your rights perfectly, exactly as I have specified above, there’s a chance that your invocation of rights will be disqualified on some new technicality that no one’s even thought of yet – and that’s precisely the problem.

Watch this video: “Don’t Talk To The Police”

[diocletianscabbagefarm]

I watched all 46 minutes of that video. My god it’s enlightening, even the way stating your alibi (even if it’s 100% true) could get you convicted.

[ifionlyhadmorepaper]

this also applies to ICE. you have the right to remain silent and ask for you a lawyer if you are detained by ICE. you do not have to sign any forms given to you by ICE. Without a signed warrant, ICE may not enter and search your home, and you can absolutely ask them to leave.

THIS RIGHT HERE

[afronerdism]

You guys are dangerously close to realizing specifically what kinds of people they keep from voting and why.

[molothoo]

I want to drill this into everybody’s head:

The United States of America has the highest prison population in the world

Black Americans and Latin people make up the majority of this population (many of whom are non-violent offenders)

Federal Prisons in America require that their state keeps their prisons at a maximum occupancy at all times.

The 13th amendment did not entirely abolish slavery…just one form of it. It remains legal through industrial prison system

[scretladyspider]

Oh and we have privatized prisons which allow companies to actually make money off of keeping people incarcerated 

[dantalaois]

[odinsblog]

Here’s what’s really perverse: prisoners, who cannot vote, still get counted in the U.S. Census. The more prisoners a county has, the more representation it gets, even though the prisoners cannot vote. See how that works? The more black and brown people they lock up, the more government resources and political representation they get. Even though those prisoners have no say and cannot vote.

If county-A has a population of 50 voters but no prisons, and county-B has a population of 50 voters and 50 prisoners, the county with the prisoners gets more government funding and more political represention. This is sometimes called “prison gerrymandering” and it is used in redistrictring.

Not so fun Fact: Southern states that reliably vote for Republicans also have the highest prison population in the United States. (source). So mass incarceration is a double whammy. It’s both a form of voter suppression and a tool to strengthen white people’s political power.

[bubonickitten]

I’d also like to drop recommendations for The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness and Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II.

They both tackle the historical evolution of modern-day mass incarceration (e.g. slavery giving way to convict leasing giving way to the modern prison-industrial complex & for-profit prisons) and how it relates to voter disenfranchisement.

We provide the New Jim Crow as a free PDF under our social justice resources alongside several hundred other racial injustice and prison abolition resources here.

There is this medieval book with the recipe to make rats

And the recipe is basically something like: left a bag of grain alone in a dark basement for a week, after a week you will enter and have rats.

Spontaneous generation is great

hey,

i know i haven’t been very active on here or ao3, a lot of life changes have happened, and i’ve been very… unmotivated (to say the least) in all my hobbies.

i am hoping to get back to posting regularly again, i write on and off when i can, when i want to, and i’m really just following the dopamine to be frank.

i have some stuff i’ll post when it’s ready, and stuff i’m still working on, but i haven’t forgotten my art, and i certainly haven’t forgotten you all who have supported me as a writer.

thanks guys.

Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!

Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.

[sandersstudies]

Modern writing advice: Yes your protagonist should have flaws but ultimately we should root for them and like them from the beginning :)

Charles Dickens: Here is the worst ugliest rudest meanest nastiest bitch you’ve ever met in your life.

[sandersstudies]

Modern writing advice: Make sure your POV character goes through a significant arc! Make sure they are changed by the narrative! Make sure they learn a lesson!

Narrators of every book of the 19th century: the lesson I learned is these people fucking suck, sayonara you freaks

[sandersstudies]

Modern writing advice: It’s all about the character overcoming obstacles and learning! They learn their lesson so they can fix their mistakes and make good choices in the future! It’s a character arc! It’s called growth! Readers love it!

Everyone from ancient times through the 19th century: would you like to watch a Guy fuck up twenty times in a row
