ICE came in two SUVs to try and grab a pregnant mother who was picking her other child up from a west Oakland (like three miles from my house) elementary school yesterday afternoon. Neighbors and other community members immediately boxed the ICE vehicles in with their own cars, surrounded the “officers,” and harassed them until they left (without their target). This is the only kind of response that’s acceptable from anyone witnessing this shit, and as Oakland Councilwoman Caroll Fife said after the incident, “there were too many white people around for them [ICE] to stick around.”

Fellow white people: if you’re able, put your bodies/vehicles/voices in between these kidnappers and their targets, ESPECIALLY if you look “respectable” (eg soccer mom/dad, business attire etc). They’re much, much less likely to engage violently with individuals and crowds who look like ppl they respect/view as human (white/white passing) so use their prejudice to your advantage.

Also: Karen the FUCK outta them. Eg. “I want to see badges and identification containing your full name and title, I want the names and contact information of your direct supervisors, I want to see a warrant signed by a judge that includes the full legal name of the individual you are attempting to detain, and I want to see these items now.” Speak loudly but as calmly and firmly as possible, don’t touch them but stay in between them and whoever they’re trying to grab if possible. Repeat.

Also, if you are an employee of whatever location ICE is entering to get somebody, you can do the following:

- Straight up refuse them entry. Not all workplaces will allow you to do this (e.g. I work in a public library and can't do that) but if you are on private property you can straight up tell them to GTFO or get trespassed by the cops.

- Announce their presence over the PA system. Say "Will the ICE agents who just entered the building please come to [your department] immediately?" and anyone else in the building is going to be made aware that ICE is here and that they're likely to be headed towards wherever you asked them to go, giving them time to escape if necessary.

- Be strict about weapons policies. If your workplace only allows LEOs to carry weapons, ask to see their badges, and ask to copy down their badge numbers and names, too. Take your time doing this, waste their time with as much bullshit red tape as you can muster.

- Be VERY strict about harassment policies, and make it clear to the agents that you will not tolerate them harassing or detaining patrons of your establishment unless they show you a warrant signed by a judge. If they have one, ask to photocopy it "for your records," again making sure to waste as much of their time as possible. Let them know that you will call the cops if they attempt to apprehend anyone without a warrant, and follow through on that if they try it. Tell them it's "policy" if they object. (It doesn't matter if it's actually policy, you can just lie to these assholes.)

- If you manage to repel them from the building, they might try to hang around the parking lot to snatch people as they exit. Make it clear to them that "loitering" is not permitted and they have to vacate the premises if they are not there for legitimate purposes.

Regarding the “ICE agents” in Oakland specifically, a few days after the attempted abductions the actual police caught a guy with a van full of fake federal badges and uniforms.

This is real. Do not give these people any authority because they are in a uniform or wear some agency logo. Once our own government broke the rule of law they opened it up for any scumbag to put on a fake badge and start grabbing children from schools.

clicking 'stay signed in'-buttons used to mean that u would stay signed in

i myself am a person who will throw around dude/bro/man like i'm trying to bring surf back in style, but sometimes when i see people vehemently arguing that these terms are entirely gender neutral i do wanna gently take their hand like. okay but have you considered the societal and histortical reasons why masculine language and gender neutral language have so much overlap. can we acknoweldge how traditionally masculine terms are treated as a default and what that means. or are you gonna be weird about it.

[kidgokart]

if i were a woman, i would tweet “ginger snapped so jennifer could body”, but i’m not a woman, and i don’t use twitter, and i haven’t seen jennifer’s body, and i don’t make a lot of money or have a car or look nice

‘roofs’ looks unbelievably stupid typed out. why can we not say ‘rooves.’ clown language with clown plurals

[lovesodeepandwideandwell]

If the plural of roof were rooves, the singular of grooves would have to be groof. Is that what you want?

[currentlycryingaboutlancelot]

point taken I’ll do anything to avoid groof

I recently had surgery, and at the time I came home, I had both my cat and one of my grandma's cats staying with me.

- Within hours of surgery, I wake up from a nap to my cat gently sniffing at my incisions with great alarm.

- I was not allowed to shower the first day after surgery, and the cats, seeing that The Large Cat is not observing its cleaning ritual, decided I must be gravely disabled and compensated by licking all the exposed skin on my arms, face, and legs.

- I currently have to sleep with a pillow over my abdomen because my cat insists on climbing on top of me and covering my incisions with her body while I sleep (which is very sweet but not exactly comfortable without the pillow). She also lays across me facing my bedroom door, presumably on guard for attackers who may try to harm me while I'm sleeping and injured.

That's love. 🐈‍⬛🐈❤️

[the-real-seebs]

cats are so very unclear on what is wrong with us but they want to help

[electricpentacle]

Last time I had a really bad migraine my cat curled herself round my head and purred sympathetically, and actually stayed there through two of her normal mealtimes. It wasn't until I was able to stagger to the kitchen and grab a protein bar for myself that she gave a very small, polite miaow to the effect of "while you're up... could you get something for me too?"

[drtanner]

She does look exceptionally polite and caring, it has to be said. 💜

[infriga]

Fun fact, cats purr at a frequency that has been shown to promote healing, so when they lay on you and purr when you're sick or injured they might actually be helping, even if only a little bit!

[alienjoyer]

when people say sea creatures are aliens that pisses me right off. no man that’s your cousin. usually not even that far back. that thing’s still an animal. it’s not even like, a plant or a fungus or anything 90% of the time. and never a 🦠. thats cousin octopus. auntie fish. uncle sea cucumber. you know them.

I love rat snakes they’re so cute and cuddly. Unfortunately, they want to get in your house and cuddle.

[byjove]

They love to live on your porch and deal with pests and be really chill and then sneak in when you least expect it. They’re trying so hard to be domesticated. Sorry bud, you’re so shiny and dark and beautiful but you’re an outside friend.

i know this means absolutely nothing to most people but basically all of the little web game things I've made recently (angels in automata, hex plant growing game, d.a.n.m.a.k.u., life music, sudoku land, the metroidvania style map editor, etc etc etc) are all entirely self-contained individual client-side html files that can be downloaded and run offline and have literally no libraries or frameworks or dependencies, because i'm an insane woman who enjoys hand coding my input handling and display code from scratch in vanilla js and having it all live in one single html file with the game logic and the page structure and the page style all just living and loving together side by side in a universal format that can be run by any web browser on any devixe. i'll even include image files as base64 data-uri strings just to keep every single asset inside the one file.

[submalevolentgrace]

the sudoku one is gorgeous and a really intuitive way to play sudoku

[greaseonmymouth]

i also really love the hexplant one

(reaching the purple aquare with the three exlamation marks is how you 'win' this game)

this is going Around again and it is always funny to me when ppl tag it "need to try this later on my computer" babes you don't need to wait they all work on mobile too <3

So you know how every once in a while someone gets a bunch of notes for pointing out that it's theoretically possible for a trans masc to get two penises, one from phalloplasty and one from metoidioplasty?

So I had a consult with Dr. Rajveer Purovit at Mount Sinai in NYC, and while I am not remotely trying to get that, it just happened to come up in conversation that yes, he does in fact have patients who have done exactly that. His preferred way of doing things is to do metoidioplasty first, then construct a phallus from abdominal tissue and place it on the groin above the meta phallus, and then have a third stage of surgery where they are combined and urethral lengthening happens. And the PA was just straight up like "yeah, some people do just stop after phase 2 because they like having the appearance and visual of the larger phallo phallus, but the higher sexual stimulation and better ability to pee with the meta phallus."

So. Yeah it turns out. That is not just a tumblr hypothetical. There are trans people walking around right now in the real world with two penises, and this is a normal surgical outcome from a surgeon who is renowned enough to have his own Wikipedia page.

Like, I definitely would not want that outcome personally, but holy shit that's awesome.
