Thinkin’ about how cops steal more through asset forfeiture than burglars do from Americans

wait till ya see the murder rate

Cops take more stuff and kill more people than every other criminal combined. (Well, domestically; not counting war criminals.)

When people defend the existence of a police force it’s usually with the exact words “they keep us safe from criminals”, but that just doesn’t add up since we would literally be safer without cops on the street. Let’s be more honest: Cops keep rich people safe at the expense of poor people’s safety.

Gender abolition, but make it:

clothes sorted by body shape and style, instead of gender

removing unnecessary gender markers from non-medical documents like a driver's license

genderless bathrooms where the stalls have floor-to-ceiling walls for privacy

abolishing gendered toys, colors, professions, hobbies, etc.

they/them as the default if you don't know someone

And NOT:

trans and non-binary people being barred from identifying with and expressing their gender

People trying to tell me (an academic researcher) about how businesses innovate so much more than academics blah blah blah drives me insane, because what he is saying here is the truth! Most innovation is mostly pushed by underpaid but very enthusiastic academics. Also citizen scientists often push the cutting edge forward more than any business, because their love for the subject encourages them to share data, which then helps others. When businesses figure out how to do something new and neat, they won’t share it with nobody, and are as secretive as possible, which is why companies have to literally do corporate espionage to figure out how shit works and to copy innovations 🙃

Look, motherfuckers.

I grew up in a house where I had to cite sources on my feelings. Every subject was an acceptable target for debate. My parents kept telling my sister and I that “not everything is a contest” but that might have been more impactful if my dad wasn’t an Argumentation professor who brought his work home with him.

What I am saying is that I was essentially constructed from the ground up to be the most unpleasant, contentious, prickly, contrarian motherfucker you’re likely to have the misfortune of interacting with this week.

And I have decided that you are a person worthy of love who has had unique experiences that make you special and important. It is my understanding that you are an everyday miracle and your very existence is a gift to the universe.

So nothing you can say will make me believe that you are worthless and useless and incapable of growth and undeserving of kindness. Bullshit. I won’t have it.

Fuck your negativity.

You are a treasure and if you wanna tell me I’m wrong then fucking fight me.

Some bastardous positivity for your friday night.

There’s a bunch of scary shit happening in the world but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re valuable and important and people love you.

ms-demeanor

I’ve been looking through the notes and the tags on this and I want you all to know: You never deserved the way that people were shitty to you.

No matter what you did you deserved to be treated with respect and allowed your dignity.

And god fucking damn it if you were a child and people treated you like shit you deserved so much better.

You’re worth kindness.

You never had to earn it.

You never had to earn it. It should have been free and expected and if other people wouldn’t give it to you you can have some of mine.

My concern is…

straydogsandsaranghaes

#the hot dad vibes coming off olyphant on this show are like radioactive and lethal#the way he honestly genuinely adores his undead flesh-eating wife is also a thing of beauty#like if gomez addams was a slightly anxious loose-hipped white guy#who’s honestly just trying his best with a trying situation of ongoing zombie-ism#but really just loves his wife more than anything else#also i’m so glad he didn’t come off a decade of deadwood and justified and get stuck in a ‘srs violent man’ rut#but went full comedy instead and honestly seems like he’s having the time of his life#santa clarita diet #gif

so The Lion King is based on Hamlet and has animals replicating dynamics of European monarchy and at the beginning of the movie we see Rafiki acting in some sort of official capacity at Simba’s birth

is Rafiki like... the pope??? is he the head of the savannah state religion? does the animal pope get legal protection from being eaten by the king? do herbivores who get cushy government jobs all get royal pardon from predation? are they class traitors? is Rafiki’s baboon church responsible for recognizing and upholding the divine right of kings and pushing circle of life propaganda to ensure that herbivores accept their lot in life and see it as an honor to be consumed by the aristocracy?

toni morisson is the master of skinning white supremacy so elegantly and artfully wit tha scalpel like precision.

kenyatta

Here’s the thing: she said this in an interview with Charlie Rose and even when I saw this on TV as a child, it seemed obvious that she was skinning and flaying him, not necessarily for being racist but for not interrogating the problem:

Toni Morrison: Yes I do Charlie, but let me tell you that’s the wrong question.

Charlie Rose: OK,what is the right question?

Toni Morrison: How do you feel? Not you, Charlie, but don’t you understand the people who do this thing, who practice racism, are bereft. There is something distorted about the psyche. It is a huge waste and it is a corruption and a distortion. It’s like a profound neurosis that nobody examines for what it is.

It feels crazy. It is crazy, and it has just as much of a deleterious effect on white people and possibly equal as it does black people. I always knew that I had the moral high ground, all of my life. I always thought that those people who said I couldn’t come into the drug store or had to sit in these funny places…

Charlie Rose: You felt more morally secure than they were?

Toni Morrison: I did and I thought that they knew that I knew that they were inferior to me. Morally, I always thought that. My parents always thought that.

Charlie Rose: You said your father was racist because he always felt like he was superior.

Toni Morrison: That’s right. He always felt superior, and that was a form of defensive racism.

If the racist white person, and I don’t mean if the person is examining his consciousness, doesn’t understand that he or she is also a race, it’s also constructed. It’s also made and it also has some serviceability. When you take it away, if I take your race away, there you are all strung out and then all you have got is your little self.

What is that? What are you without racism? Are you any good? Are you still strong? Are you still smart? Do you still like yourself? These are the questions. Part of it is, yes the victim, how terrible it has been for black people.

Charlie Rose: Were you ever like that?

Toni Morrison: I’m not a victim. I refuse to be one.

Charlie Rose: The victim is the other person who is morally inferior? Who can hold onto racism for his or her own self-esteem in definition.

Toni Morrison: That’s a serious question. If you can only be tall because somebody is on their knees than you have a serious problem. My feeling is white people have a very, very serious problem. They should start thinking about what they can do about it. Take me out of it.

When the Nazi concentration camps were liberated by the Allies, it was a time of great jubilation for the tens of thousands of people incarcerated in them. But an often forgotten fact of this time is that prisoners who happened to be wearing the pink triangle (the Nazis’ way of marking and identifying homosexuals) were forced to serve out the rest of their sentence. This was due to a part of German law simply known as “Paragraph 175” which criminalized homosexuality. The law wasn’t repealed until 1969.

You need to know this. You need to remember this. This is not something to swept under the carpet nor be forgotten.

Never. Too many have died for the way they have loved. That needs stop now.

Make it stop?

I did a report on this in my World History class my sophomore year of high school. It was incredibly unsettling.

My teacher shown the class this. Mostly everyone in the class felt uncomfortable.

I have reblogged this in the past, but it is so ironic that it comes across my dash right now. I a currently working as a docent at my city’s Holocaust Education Center (( I say currently because I’ve also done research and translation for them )) and out current exhibit is one on loan from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum ((USHMM)). This is a little known historical fact that Paragraph 175 was not repealed after the war and those convicted under Nazi laws as a danger to society because they were gay were not released because they had be convicted in a court of law. There was no liberation or justice for them as they weren’t considered criminals, or even victims for that matter. They were criminals who remained persecuted and ostracized and kept on the fringes of society for decades after the war had been won. Paragraph175 wasn’t actually repealed until 1994. And it was only in May 2002, that the German parliament completed legislation to pardon all homosexuals convicted under Paragraph175 during the Nazi era. History has forgotten about these men and women — please educate yourselves so this does not happen again. Remember this history. Remember them.
