The Gracefully Walking Disaster

Mostly reblogs and occacionally some rambling. Also when all the planets aligned and  we're under the moonlight my badly disastrous drawings might come to ur dashboard. Sorry for the incovenience.

U.S. people, if you bought cinnamon from Dollar Tree, Dollar General, or other discount stores, throw it out. It's got lead

Ground cinnamon sold at discount stores is tainted with lead, FDA warns

Ground cinnamon sold in U.S. discount stores is contaminated with high levels of lead and should be discarded. The U.S.

It’s these brands specifically, just in case you picked them up somewhere else (via WaPo’s “the Seven” morning newsletter)

Don't forget about the Palestinians.

Don't forget about them now.

Don't forget about them tomorrow.

Don't forget about them in a week from now.

Don't forget about them in a month.

Don't forget them next year.

Don't forget them in 5 years.

When the history books start to update, don't let them put lies in there.

When documentaries come out, boycott the ones who call this a victory for Israel.

When books release talking about soldier's personal experiences with Palestine, remember the victims. Remember the truth.

Don't forget about what we've seen.

Don't forget about what we've heard.

Don't let them tell lies about Palestine.

Don't forget about the Palestinians when the world tries to make this go away.

Israel has killed more children in Gaza since October than in four years of worldwide conflict

[tamarrud]

Like it's been said before that when Israelis and Zionists cry "why do you single out Israel?!", they should in fact be reminded that Israel singles itself out. I mean, who commits violence at this magnitude and then bemoans being the victim??

Seriously what the fuck you spent money on those donate to a homeless shelter instead you fucking demons

[mydeardetective]

This is more common than you may think. Many urban areas that have high homeless populations are using “defensive architecture” more and more. Sloped and divided benches to keep the homeless from sleeping on them. Spikes placed in sheltered areas where they tend to stay. City planners argue they are only trying to relocate the homeless, pushing them to see out shelters and homeless centers. But that rings hollow. They just want them out of sight. I don’t have a simple, easy solution. But this isn’t it. Making things harder for the homeless does not help them.

[aminnablack]

All these corporations have so much money to spend it on putting spikes on places where homeless people sleep yet absolutely NOTHING goes to those who are homeless. This country really doesn’t give a fuck about the well being of homeless people at all

[lebritanyamor-deactivated202601]

this is heartbreaking fr .

[peterdetrick-deactivated2022112]

By the way you can remove these spikes with wither a sledgehammer and a heavy metal spike (sharpened crowbar with a downwards slant and the handle removed or something similar) or a concrete saw if you’ve got one of those. It’s illegal to do but it also only takes about an hour if there aren’t too many spikes.

Alternatively, if you put a mattress over them they become useless, although you do risk having the city take the mattress. Normally they don’t reinstall the spikes if you keep removing them.

As for the benches, a concrete or hand held circular saw can cut off the arm rests of the benches with too many arm rests to sleep on. Just remember: Wear protective goggles and practice proper safety if using power tools. All of this stuff can be bought at Home Depot or your local variant of Home Depot.

For legal purposes I have to advise you that this is illegal and I’m not advising you to do this.

[letomcfaceman]

remember: they can’t catch you if you’re faster than they are!

[nireidi]

Also!! If you wear a hard hat- orange construction vest and carry a clipboard people are more likely to believe your legit and not call the cops on you

[scissorsaurus]

America hates the homeless so much they purposely install benches that are basically useless to the people they’re intended for i.e. disabled and elderly people (not that it gives a shit about them either)

[squish-this]

I don’t know what Daniel Radcliffe is doing these days and this clip doesn’t help but here’s my thoughts on the matter:

[singinginthecar]

israel has been bombing residential towers, refugee camps, media offices and now there are reports that it plans to bomb two UN run schools in palestine. reminder that many ppl who have been rendered homeless by these bombings have found shelter in these schools. palestine's hospitals are overflowing, their top doctors are being killed in these bombings, and the pandemic is still raging while israel is blocking humanitarian aid as well. these are war crimes. this is a genocide.

[gulabilli]

PLEASE do not stop talking about Palestine and spreading information, especially from Palestinians, whether it's here or on other social medias you use more often. Palestinians themselves have said over and over again that spreading this on social media helps, I've seen some people say that it feels different this time now that the world is starting to hear their voices. and please donate if you are able to

AUTISTIC PEOPLE NEED YOUR HELP

massive trigger warning for discussions of abuse of disabled children

if you haven't seen it yet, the FDA's ban of a device called the graduated electronic decelerator has been overturned.

Use of the GED has been called torture by the United Nations, and it is used at the Judge Rotenberg Center in Massachusetts to shock autistic students into compliance. Along with mental trauma, use of the GED has caused third degree burns, with one student receiving as many as 350 shocks in one day. The GED is used alongside other revolting practices at JRC, including restraints, food deprivation, and social isolation for minor infractions, such as slouching, stopping work for 10 seconds, and not taking off a coat.

How You Can Help

1. sign the petition started by @autisticadvocacy

Sign the Petition

FDA: Ban Torture of People with Disabilities and #StopTheShock

2. Use this script to email organizations asking for them to condemn the use of GED

Help Ban GED —

3. You can use the same script and contact your US representatives and ask them to speak out

Find Your Representatives - Common Cause

If you are abroad, you can also ask your representatives to speak out and condemn GED!!

4. Share this! Reblog this post, share the news with your friends and family, get as many people involved as possible

Please. I shouldn't have to be reading about tortured disabled children during Disability Pride Month. The JRC is the only place in America that uses the GED. Banning the GED would be a massive step forward for disability rights.

turns out when they say “don’t accept food from strangers” and “don’t get in a stranger’s car”, it’s actually about government vehicles

'Kid influencers' classed as child labour under new law

YES GOD FINALLY.

this is in france, but hopefully this’ll slowly mean fewer creepy abusive parents making their kids childhoods into Content:tm:. 

[owlmylove]

another important thing mentioned in this article:

This is an essential part of emerging tech rights, esp for young influencers and media users. Kate Eichhorn recently wrote a fantastic book abt this called The End of Forgetting: Growing Up with Social Media that explores the ways permanent records of childhood — particularly representations the children themselves may not be in control of, such as the children of mommy-bloggers or influencers used for clout — can have lasting influences on how we mature in a digital society

Most people over 20 or so have grown up on an internet with natural growth cycles; certain forums and MMORPGs die over time, and our Yahoo sites and Club Penguin accounts die with them. But the centralization of social media platforms, data monopolies compiling detailed profiles on both creators and their audiences, and the incentivizing industry of younger and younger influencers (this article mentions a 6 year old girl making $18M), will make it harder for younger generations to control their digital selves. Hopefully other countries will also realize that virtual autonomy is an important civil right, and a necessary protection for our children

What a funny way to say “cops blew up neighborhood”

[smitethestate]

It’s been really hilarious to watch the LAPD try to dodge any responsibility for this while the media tries desperately to help them by publishing the most confusing fucking headlines but what really happened is that the cops found and confiscated thousands of pounds of “illegal” fireworks in LA and then decided to take 10 pounds of that, call the press, and make a show of using their new expensive toy, the “total containment” truck that is supposed to be able to take explosions of up to 15 pounds.

So they took the 10 pounds of explosives and their toy truck to a poor Black neighborhood, got reporters there, stuck the explosives inside, and set them off intentionally instead of just defusing them like they did with the other 4,990 pounds of fireworks.

For some reason, likely because something went wrong with their truck which I bet cost the city a shit ton of money, the containment completely failed and the explosion destroyed cars, homes, and injured 17-19 people (I’ve seen different reports with different numbers), a couple of whom were in critical condition but it sounds like everyone survived.

The LAPD then had the audacity to tweet that they didn’t know what caused the explosion when it was them who caused the explosion, intentionally, and we know because they called the media so that everybody could see them do it.

In summary, the LAPD wanted to show off/justify their ridiculous budget but their expensive toy was a dud and so they ended up bombing a poor Black neighborhood (because they would never risk this in a white neighborhood) and don’t want to admit it.

so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what

I notice alot of my followers on here skipping these posts just to mess with my lgbt ones, suspiciously the white popular ones.

Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

They were murdered in cold blood.

[ID: A tweet by @ IBJIYONGI that reads: Holy words: “We were children.”

Attached is a news article by CBC Canadian News titled “Saskatoon Canadian cathedral covered with paint after discovery of 751 unmarked graves.” An attached image shows red hand prints on the walls and door of the building, along with the words “we were children.”

@ CurlyCheddar replied in a tweet that reads: I guess I understand the message but I’m not sure why the artist went with Halloween spook-o-rama walking dead hand prints. Really bad. Could be made a little better if the prints were child-sized and didn’t go above the height of a child but whatever not the point I guess.

@ IguanodoneComics replied: sorry us natives grieving the loss of almost a thousand of our own isn’t artistically satisfying enough for you. /end ID]

[ID: The full image of the graffitied cathedral shows red paint dripping down the front steps and two pairs of children’s shoes and stuffed animals.

Another image shows the same cathedral after the red paint had been washed off. There is a paper sign on the doors put there by those from the Catholic cathedral that reads “we are sorry”. Someone has written on the sign “sorry does not cut it.” There are other signs left on the steps with red handprints. Some of the signs say “thou shalt not steal”, “thou shalt not kill”, “truth before reconciliation”, and “you can’t wash us away”. Another pair of children’s shoes and a stuffed animal have been left on the steps. End ID]
