White people get so angry when they’re presented with the truth.
That moment when a single scene in a Bollywood film educates you about the reality of American politics.
This movie is called Kurbaan and thats my man Saif Ali Khan
America wants to paint itself as the hero but it has always been the villain.
the military literally bullies american movies into representing them positive only or they can’t make their movie
[ID: A series of 9 tweets by twitter user JamieFord.
The first tweet says “Defund the police? Here’s an example that you’re benefitting from right now. 1/9”. It features a picture of the Freedom House Ambulance Services, the group discussed in this thread.
The second tweet says “Until the 70s, ambulance services were generally run by local police and fire departments. There was no law requiring medical training beyond basic first-aid and in many cases the assignment of ambulance duty was used as a form of punishment. 2/9.”
The third tweet says “As you can imagine, throwing people with medical emergencies in the back of a paddy wagon produced less-than-spectacular health outcomes. Now imagine how much worse it became when disgruntled white police officers were demoted to ambulance duty in black neighborhoods. 3/9.” It shows a picture of one of the police cars used for ambulances, which resembles modern police cars though with the style of older cars, and says “paddy wagon” on it.
The fourth tweet says “The response was so problematic that, in 1967, black leaders in Pittsburgh’s Hill District, created Freedom House Ambulance Services, and approached Peter Safar, a doctor at the University of Pittsburgh who had lost his 12 year old daughter to an acute asthma crisis. 4/9.” It shows a picture of the members of the FHAS standing together with Peter Safar.
The fifth tweet says “With a shared purpose of improving emergency response services, Safar trained 25 black men from that neglected community– many of whom did not have a high school diploma– as emergency medical technicians trained in this new skill called ‘CPR’. 5/9.” It shows a picture of a few FHAS members standing at the back of one of their ambulances.
The sixth tweet says “With two donated police vehicles, Freedom House Ambulance Services began to save lives at such a rate, that they became the gold standard for emergency response training in the US and the model for EMTs we now take for granted in every community. 6/9.”
The seventh tweet says “Freedom House paramedics were so dynamic in their ability to respond to the critically ill that the Pittsburgh Police often called them for high-acuity cases in white neighborhoods. 7/9.” It shows a picture of FHAS responders helping a white patient.
The eighth tweet says “Despite the success of FHAS, police and fire departments resisted retraining their personnel, so the city reallocated funds to create a separate EMT service. (A new mayor cut funding to FHAS in 1975 and seized their assets, but that’s another story). 8/9.”
The final tweet says “When people think defunding the police will lead to anarchy, they’re not understanding that change rarely happens from within, and that resources reallocated to community-based services can not only improve neglected neighborhoods, but create innovations that help us all. 9/9.”

Defund the police to fund other public services to handle things that shouldn’t have been on the list of what police are called out to handle in the first place.

I need to stop being good at my job
Both supervisors for 1st and 3rd shift want me to switch to their shift, and 2nd shift said they would jump in front of a hi-lo if I switch shifts.
Ask if it comes w a raise
I was trying to explain to my sister-in-law that I simply cannot turn on my car headlights if anyone is looking at me and she thought I was crazy.
Literally nothing more embarrassing than tying your shoes in public like oh look at me I'm a 5 year old because I couldn't tie my shoes tight enough to last a walk through the kroger
are y’all okay
The Ring: If I had a quarter for every time a hobbit picked me up, I’d have two quarters. The Ring: Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
Of all the bearers of Sauron’s ring, 4 of them were hobbits.
I was wrong. It’s 5. Not 4
The lineage of ring bearers is as follows.
Sauron.
Isildur
Deagol
Sméagol
Bilbo
Frodo
Samwise
I love how Deagol counts as a ring bearer even though he had it in his possession for all of like five seconds
He held it for the rest of of his life!
[Image description: Tweet by @banalplay saying “but something happened then that the ring did not intend. it was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable: a hobbit, the same fuckin thing that just had it for like 500 years.” End Image Description.] Link to original here. Otherwise reblogging for the final rb there, which made me cackle.
From the ring’s perspective:
1. Home, the finger of my creator and other self.
2. Well, I don’t like it but I can work with this. Cause some trouble, get some revenge, find my way home, this is fine.
3. What the fuck is you?
4. Right personality, wrong species, I don’t know what you are but I hate you and I don’t know why you’re so resistant to my powers.
5. NO NO NO there are goblins everywhere how did I find another one of THESE horrible things. This one’s even more resistant than the last one and also disgustingly nice. I suffer.
6. Listen, I’ll cooperate, just get me the fuck out of this hellhole full of small cheerful people my power doesn’t work on properly. No, not like that. I hate you. Please stop.
7. FUCK
8. (Frodo again) I still hate you with every molecule of my mortal form but at least you’re not number seven. Think I’m starting to get through finally.
9. (Smeagol again) YES it’s you I actually missed you now get me back to the Master and NO FUCK NO I HATE YOOOOUUUUU…. *fzt*
you CHAIN The One Ring?! you chain it like the prisoner?! oh! OH! trauma! deep psychological trauma for hobbits for One Thousand Years!
Have a good day at work little buddy
EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS IMMEDIATELY.
His name is Black and was adopted by the workers of a construction site in Antofagasta, Chile. He was found by some workers near the area, when he was just a kitten, and they decided to take care care of him. The workers loved him and one of the cleaning ladies of the site designed some mini reflective jackets- and other outfits- for him. He was officialy named foreman and had its own access credential to the construction site. I belive the constrution work finished on 2017 and he was adopted by one of the employees.
Look at him!
He is such a good site foreman!
He’s working so hard and doing such a good job! <3
I looked up ‘CATPATAZ DE INGRESO’ (on the cat’s ID card) and Google Translate corrected my spelling.
‘Capataz’ = ‘foreman’.
‘Catpataz’ = a terrible, terrible pun.
“My lord, I know you are the demon lord and I am but a lowly advisor, but please listen to me. I suggest that instead of sending the hero slightly stronger demons to kill each time, we just send the strongest one right away”
“Do you know why the heroes fight us, advisor?”
“Because…. because we threaten their homeland, my lord?”
“And why do we threaten their homeland?”
“Because Kushiel rules it and she exiled you?”
“Close. Because Kushiel rules it and she must be stopped. But we cannot stop her.”
“I’m… not sure I follow, my liege.”
“I am not surprised. This war started long before you were born, did it not?”
“Yes, my lord, at least a dozen centuries before.”
“And I was at least a dozen centuries old when this war began. We sent our strongest soldiers, our mightiest armies. And Kushiel sent children.”
“Children…? Then… how did we not win?”
“Would you like to fight an army of children? See the light that should have burned a century be snuffed out after barely a decade?”
“Well… not particularly, no.”
“Nor did we, and Kushiel knew this. She gives them no training for she knows the worse off they are the worse it will be for us to face them. This went on for several centuries. She fills her people’s heads with stories, false prophecies about how a child will someday defeat the tyrannical ruler who threatens them. And so, we are helping that prophecy become true.”
“Wait, what?”
“We cannot hope to defeat Kushiel. We do not know her with any intimacy. We cannot predict her movements. All we know is she will keep sending children. So we train them. We send out weakest soldiers, those willing to die knowing their sacrifice will eventually be her undoing. Someday, a hero will come who is able to defeat us. A hero who will slaughter our weakest, then our next weakest, and will continue to do so until even I lay dead at their feet. And then the hero will come here and sit in my throne and peer from my grand window. Sit. Tell me what they will see.”
“It…. It’s a graveyard, sir.”
“Those are the graves of all the children Kushiel has sent to die at our hands. Some became adults before they finally fell, but they were always children when they started. We bury them here. And someday a hero will come who will free us from this grievous task. They will take my throne, sit upon it, and see what Kushiel deemed a worthy price for this mere chair. And then the hero will realize who they must fight next. And thanks to us, they will have gained the strength and training necessary to make sure the prophecy is fulfilled and the tyrant will finally die.”
Holy fuck

Sex redefined
“The idea of two sexes is simplistic. Biologists now think there is a wider spectrum than that.”
More on anti-trans arguments as bad science
As a biologist I am reblogging this so hard.
Biological sex is not and has never been a binary. The complexity of the natural world cannot be contained in neat little societal boxes. Stop using science to justify your bigotry.

A comic adaptation of Zoe Leonard’s “I want a dyke for president” (1992)
Reagan-era "stranger danger" panic has done so much harm to americans' sense of community. It cemented the idea that only the nuclear family could be trusted with the care of the child, deterred people from cooperative living with an extended community, and continues to place abuse victims in danger by perpetuating the misconception that most child abuse is done by strangers rather than someone they know. It is in our best interest to become more interdependent than we were raised to be.
I don’t think ppl understand that this is such an American thing.... Around the world, it’s absolutely not the norm for strangers to be seen as completely other and separate from yourself, and for your blood family to be seen as the only trustworthy people in your life. Like I cannot begin to emphasize how this is not normal for humans as a whole. It also only furthers the capitalist mindset of doing things for yourself and only yourself e.g. “why should I be responsible for other people’s welfare” etc. The lack of community really sets us apart, not in a good way.
There are people in the notes saying “But good came out of it, too, because I know older people who were abused by random people their parents trusted for no reason”. When I was growing up in the 90s, with full-blown “If you talk to a stranger, they’ll kidnap and murder you” paranoia going on, I knew four different kids personally who were about my age and who later disclosed they'd been sexually abused by their stepfathers*. I knew another girl who’d been abused by her family’s pastor. (And, I should stress, I didn’t know that many people!)
I am, specifically mentioning this, because culturally - even moreso than when I was growing up - there is SO MUCH paranoia about Secret Pedophiles lurking around every corner (and it ties in with various conspiracy theories and the whole QAnon thing in frankly terrifying ways.) and it is ALMOST ALWAYS a family member or trusted authority figure. (Or Secret Sex Traffickers waiting to pounce on you if you, as a lady-type-person, so much go for a walk around the block you live on. Never mind that most human trafficking is labor-trafficking.) (And that’s setting aside the people I know who were abused in other ways by their parents or other close family members. Me included.) There is no amount of cutting oneself off from community that will keep you safe, or keep kids safe, but it sure will make it harder for other people to tell that something’s wrong, and keep kids from having other safe adults in their lives.
Sorry we can’t cbt our way out of the fact that the earth is becoming observably less habitable with each passing year
“What is it that the child has to teach?
The child naively believes that everything should be fair and everyone should be honest, that only good should prevail, that everybody should have what they want and there should be no pain or sadness. The child believes the world should be perfect and is outraged to discover it is not.
And the child is right.”
— Rabbi Tzvi Freeman
“Westerners are fond of the saying ‘Life isn’t fair.’ Then, they end in snide triumphant: ‘So get used to it!’ What a cruel, sadistic notion to revel in! What a terrible, patriarchal response to a child’s budding sense of ethics. Announce to an Iroquois, ‘Life isn’t fair,’ and her response will be: ‘Then make it fair!’” –Barbara Alice Mann
