Fallacies to avoid when discussing racism and police brutality

Artist: noelle.cress (Instagram)

[davidalleynes]

power move: exclusively referring to sports played by women as “sports” and all the men’s sports exclusively as “men’s sports”

[davidalleynes]

referring to athletes who are women as “athletes” and athletes who are men as “male athletes”

Photos by Marcus Ingram (IG: @junglebrother) at soon-to-be dismantled Robert E. Lee Statue on Monument Avenue in Richmond, former capital of the Confederacy.  A symbolic & actual victory, and these photos really capture the moment…

nooo dont unionize, youre so profitable aha

[heartbeatemoji]

any white at a protest who tries to go against police and deliberately provoke a response from them is not to be trusted and does not have the safety of black and brown people in mind.

[telegantmess]

there is a good chance that they are police too. if anyone, especially a white dude, ever randomly gets your attention and conspiratorially tries to convince you to jump a police officer, then dude is a cop. They have been using this technique and script for at least 30 years.

Check their fucking shoes. They’re always too afraid that their little toesies will be hurt so they’ll usually still be rocking the exact same boots as the guys on the other side. This was what gave the cops away when they provoked riots in Toronto a while back.

[levourdalak]

@talesofalamia, remember when I pointed out the shoes of the two well-dressed informants near us?

[wetwareproblem]

Similar note: IME, unmarked cruisers have five distinguishing traits: 1. They’re one of the department-issue models. 2. They’re always white, black, or dark blue. 3. They always look like they just rolled out of a car wash. 4. Usually rocking restricted plates. 5. Most reliable if present but hardest to spot: Their mirrors are bulkier, to fit the light rigs in.

[revscarecrow]

In Austin the under cover officer that tried to convince me to set a cop car on fire had a convincing fake beard.

Be careful out there and read up on common tactics used against protestors before going.

[neckspike-deactivated20240222]

You can usually see the stealth lights if you look into the grill.

Besides the old obvious as fuck Crown Victoria, be suspicious of 2013+ Ford Taurus and Explorer, 2006+ Dodge Charger and Dakota, 06-13 Chevy Impala, 11+ Chevy Caprice and both the Tahoe and Suburban.

Look for oversize mirrors, plugs on the roof and/or A pillar, lights inside the grill, extraneous lights inside the headlight assembly, lights tucked up behind the rear view mirror, steel wheels with or without wheel covers, and plugs or short antennas on the trunk lid.

“I always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that ‘straight white men’ were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computer… the computer… THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!

Alan Turing - Gay man and ‘father of computing’ Wren operating Bombe - The code cracking computers of the 2nd world war were entirely run by women Katherine Johnson - African American NASA mathematician and ‘Human computer’ Ada Lovelace - arguably the 1st computer programmer”

Also Margaret Hamilton - NASA computer scientist who put the first man on the moon - an as-yet-unmatched feet of software engineering, here pictured beside the full source of that computer programme. #myhero

Grace Hopper - the woman that coined the term “bug”  

- @robinlayfield

[villanellethepoetic-deactivated]

Grace Hopper did more than coin the term “bug”. She invented the first program linker in the early 1950s, for the UNIVAC I. A program linker translates instructions from one language to another (for example, numerical codes that represent instructions translated to machine code that computers can read), which is the very foundation of how computer’s operate independently. she also pulled a steve rogers and tried to enlist in the military a bunch of times and was denied. then, an exception was made for her when she joined the navy reserves, and she ended up serving for over 40 years (half of which was active duty). she retired from the navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. she was born in NYC in 1906. Grace Hopper was a fucking badass.

also computing was typically a job for women (many of whom were black women that made incredible contributions) back in the day, so it’s absolutely fucking wild that straight white men think they are the foundation of computer innovation. men PUSHED women out and took the credit.

Friendly reminder that the reason you feel so much better is because of your meds, don’t stop taking them unless you talk to your doctor first, you really do need them, I promise. 

[legsdemandias]

Around June I stopped taking my eye medication because I hadn’t had a problem with my eyes in months. I got really lazy about doing it; then I stopped them altogether.

Turns out, the reason I stopped having problems with my eyes was because I was religiously taking my medication. Whodathunk. Now I have to work to get back to the place I was before I decided I was “better” (I wasn’t!).

If you thought this post was just about anti-depressants or lithium, it could be! For me, this post is about eyedrops, for you it might be about antibiotics, or it might be about zoloft. Whatever it is, please consider talking to your doctor before making a sudden shift to stop taking it. It’s not bad to be on medication. It’s not bad to need it. 

[doomhamster]

…and on a related note, do not let anyone tell you that because you start feeling worse if you don’t take your medication, that means you’re “addicted”. That is not how addiction works.

[legsdemandias]

Okay everyone reblog this version

[dyke-supreme]

It’s always girl power why not woman power

[pussypoliticks-blog]

girl power isn’t as threatening

[rabbitheads]

let’s start saying boy power and woman power. And I’m not joking about this. This is becoming a thing in Korea.

People recognized this ‘Man-girl'thing roughly during 2018 Olympics (or before that. I’m not sure tho…) when our fully grown female champions were refered to as ‘Girl Power! Beauty with medals! Golden fairy!’ on media headlines whereas male champions(even the mi nors) were titled as ‘King, Emperor, God’.

Some of us pointed it out and now we just refer to grown men as boys. Like policemen? police boy. Businessman? Business boy. That congressman? he’s a congress boy now.

And it became even more clear that this girl thing was belittling women and their power.

[girlsfrommars]

I’ve always felt weird about women over the age of 25 referring to themselves as girls. Would you call a 25 year old male a boy too?

[mysharona1987]

[brndnslvra]

this is mad funny lmaooo

[gurl-blunt]

Not with that attitude you can’t

[prismatic-bell]

Listen, this might sound funny at first, but consider:

Without enough lube (natural or artificial), you WILL end up chafed. It hurts, it burns, and it can cause infection.

Even with enough lube, mucking about in your naughty bits too much–you know, the kind of thing you have to do for several hours a day if you’re a cam girl–can cause yeast infections and UTIs. UTIs can cause scarring that can cause intercourse (and masturbation) to become painful.

The kind of extreme, prolonged sexual intercourse that porn is known for can cause both rectal and vaginal prolapse, which is when your rectum or vagina literally falls out of your body due to being put under too much stress. Also, um. I’m just saying, doing the same motion with your wrists over and over without breaks, the way you’d have to do with a dildo, can cause carpal tunnel syndrome. There’s a similar condition called tennis elbow that can also occur. These women are going to suffer work-related injuries because of this. Some of those injuries will require surgery. And while sex-related prolapse is pretty rare, it does have a higher incidence among sex workers, and higher still among overworked sex workers.

So no, this cam girl is absolutely right. She cannot safely and effectively do her job for hours a day, every day, and the injury she suffers as a result could impair her ability to enjoy sex or, possibly, even kill her. What needs to be happening right now is that cam girls and other sex workers need to have unemployment and/or some kind of stimulus funds available to them, just like people in any other job, so they can work safely without worrying about going hungry.

DESTIGMATIZE SEX WORK. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SEX WORKERS AND THE RIGHTS THEY SHOULD HAVE.

[momxnts-silxncx]

you can get vaginal prolapse???? Why did no one ever teach me anything about my body im

[prismatic-bell]

Yep. It’s one of the reasons the Quiverfull movement is so dangerous. Women are literally encouraged to give birth until their reproductive organs can’t take it anymore.

[dovesndecay]

This is where we remind our local sex workers that they should (in the US) join the IWW under Department 600: Human Services, Industrial Union #690. (That number is not a joke, for the record.)

It won’t guarantee any immediate changes of the way you’re treated, but you’ll have more support and more people to connect with to help improve things!

Isn’t it consensual when she gave him the photos when they were together 🔚

[wheresmywig]

From a lawyer: “The photos were consensual. But she did not consent to distribution “

He really thought he did something with that comment and his lil stank emoji at the end lol

[apollo-and-the-moon]

Same goes for you Men. If your ex leaks photos of your dick or any videos you sent her, you can sue too. Yea, giving the photos with consent is Aight, but spreading them around and “exposing” Ain’t it chief
