I was asked to add the "have YOU dronk enough water today" dinosaur to Redbubble, so it is there now, but I re-drew it because the original is 3 years old and also a very grainy jpg. And I see now I that the original is different by one word and I didn't remember that when re-doing it, oops.

Hoohoohoo, excellent!

Old Library of the Second Chamber of the Estates General, The Hague, The Netherlands. Built at the end of the 19th century and to reduce the use of candles or gas lamps due to the danger of fire, a huge skylight was opened to let in as much light as possible.

capitalists will literally be like "it's cheaper to address homelessness by installing hostile architecture and hoping they all die rather than giving them a place to live" and bootlickers will be like "sounds good to me"

[ruinedrainbowpooka]

and studies will be like “No, it literally IS cheaper to give them a place to live” than do other shit” and bootlickers will be like “SOUNDS FAKE!”

[smitethestate]

More often they'll be like "BUT YOU CAN'T JUST GIVE THEM SOMETHING FOR FREE, THEY NEED TO DIE OF EXPOSURE LIKE RESPONSIBLE ADULTS"

[bogleech]

The last one is it. You can show them the research demonstrating that it will be cheaper and they’ll say, literally HAVE said, that giving them something “before they earned it” is in some way immoral, that it’s somehow unfair or hurtful to people who have jobs, and that it will make people “lazier.” They genuinely think the threat of starvation and death is where work ethic comes from and that this is the glue holding civilization together. They also tend to convince themselves that people who are homeless often did something to deserve it, and therefore we must keep them punished until they fix their situation by themselves.

These are murderous, sadistic, obscene views to hold and the people who choose to hold them barely have any humanity.

The threat of starvation and death literally IS the glue that holds civilization together. It's the whole point.

[void-milf]

By which I mean: it is impossible to establish hegemonic domination of one life-way across the planet if people are free to walk away and abandon the project at any time. Abdication being punished is a feature, not a bug of the civilized project.

I already reblogged a post with links to abortion funds. But I would like to specifically mention the Yellowhammer Fund.

They serve the deep south, aka one of the regions that will be greatly fucked over by the Supreme Court’s ruling. Please consider donating to them if you have the means to do so.

Because what America really needs right now is less ability to hold cops personally accountable for their actions

[lesbianchai]

So this means that you do still have the right to remain silent.

You just now cannot sue if you are not told your rights.

Unfortunately, this will mostly harm those unaware of their rights. So will deeply, and mostly, effect uneducated people and those unfamiliar with U.S. laws (such as new immigrants).

They (cops) are not only further protected, but now are allowed to not tell you when you have that right. Which honestly can just be confusing for anyone.

It’s fucked up and definitely targets marginalized individuals, in addition to protecting cops. Double lose.

The Supreme Court does not care about us.

[bumblebeerror]

Now more than ever: DO NOT TALK TO COPS.

If you are taken into custody for Anything, you invoke your right to a lawyer (“I am invoking my right to a lawyer. Here is my lawyer’s number/Please assign me a public defender.”)

Then you shut the fuck up. “I am invoking my right to remain silent.” Do not make small talk. Do not answer ANY questions. If at any point you do (like to ask for the bathroom, a drink, etc) immediately repeat that you are invoking your right to silence. They will try to get you to talk. They’re allowed to try to get you to break your silence, and they will do so. They’ll make you wait for the lawyer.

Every cop show ever has taught you that getting a lawyer looks guilty, and I’m telling you that’s propaganda. Get the fucking lawyer. Even if they just want a statement out of you, even if you called them. Get the lawyer. Shut up.
