Using engraved bullets? That fits the MO of the United Health shooter. #hesstilloutthere #ibelieve

Honestly I think they just made that part up. They didn't specify what was actually engraved on it. And no photo evidence of that claim?

How do you even engrave "gender ideology" onto a rifle? Did they give the rifle they/them pronouns?

Ah yes. The transgender arrows.

Harrison Norris For our blacked-out War Boy eyes, we used this really thick MAC eyeliner, and at the end of the day, we got to the point that we stopped trying to get it off the inside of our eyes. It was impossible, so we gave up and lived in guyliner for eight months, and the funniest thing was that as we got toward the last two or three months, we'd start seeing all the locals in town—the guys who had nothing to do with performing or being War Boys—were wearing guyliner as well. We accidentally glam-rocked the shit out of that place.

(about this guy)

a kiln god is a small clay sculptural creature that stays on/in/near a kiln while it’s firing, to watch over the pottery inside and protect it

mine are all vaguely humanoid and holding pottery, but they can be anything

a lot of people leave their kiln gods unglazed, and only ever make one or two. because I work with a shared kiln, my kiln gods have to be inside the kiln so they don’t get bumped or broken, so it makes more sense to glaze them and keep making more

(^this one I kept, she lives on my pottery desk)

people have lots of little traditions around kilns and pottery. there are so many variables to successfully finishing a piece of pottery, and many of the steps are out of our control. it’s nice to have a kiln god watching over our work

if you take a pottery class, your teacher might mention the kiln gods. for some potters/studios they’re more of a concept than anything physical

what can I say, humans just love to make little guys

the japanese “-ne?” particle and the british slang term “innit” serve the same function

ichigo-kuriimu

Standard English: It’s cold, isn’t it?

Japanese: Samui desu ne?

British: It’s fuckin’ freezin’, innit?

ichigo-kuriimu

i have to do everything around here

notahorseindisguise

i hate this cause i did japanese for like a year and this explains the use of the -ne particle WAYYYY better than my teachers ever did. it took me ages to comprehend what this post makes abundantly clear.

my teachers: its like a, a little rise at the end of a sentence, to show that you are seeking a response, while not warranting the -ka particle which would make it a proper question.

me: ok. i guess i get that??

this post: its like saying “innit?”

me: oh. oh no.

wind-on-the-panes-deactivated20

fun fact: afaik, "-ne" was inherited from the Portuguese settlers/priests that stayed in Japan in the 16th century. It comes from "né?", which the contraction of "não é?", "isn't it?".

It's LITERALLY "innit".

never thought i’d be saying this as a nepali person but the rest of the world has a lot to learn from nepal when it comes to revolution lol

seongpinkhwa

young people literally spent two days showing the full force of their wrath against a horrific, corrupt system run by politicians that embezzled away every single cent of citizen money. they protested, and when the cops turned to violence, they did too. many of the biggest and most corrupt politicians (including the prime minister) were forced to resign, had their houses swarmed by crowds of furious people, were beat within an inch of their lives, and had their money thrown out onto the streets.

real, actual change is on the way in a country plagued by exploitation and poverty and corruption for DECADES because the population rallied together behind the sheer force of the young population and their anger - so much so that it’s being called the gen z revolution. THIS is how revolutions come about when every attempt to use peaceful means is met with bullets and suppression and social media bans in an effort to shut people up. and i think the west has a lot to learn about what true revolution and true progression is, because the way that our political discourse is so weak and watered down and pushed to be ‘friendly’ and ‘understanding’ is so pathetic at times. THERE IS NO NEGOTIATING WITH YOUR OPPRESSORS.

GREAT DAY FOR BRAZIL, FELLAS!!!

luwha

ok i might need to elaborate on why this is such a big deal.

So, Brazil had a dictatorship, military coup, that lasted from 64 to 85. On this time period (and i'll be really short) we had like 5 dictators and oh god, so, SO MUCH torturing, censorship and repression.

People that were killed are still missing. And none of the military heads that did it were ever arrested. Much less judged. Much less sentenced.

There was this air of impunity, that Brazil would not move forward because when push came to shove, no one arrested the big guys, the masterminds, the people that caused all of that.

UNTIL NOW

Bolsonaro is a fucked up right winger, backed by Trump. When this spineless coward lost it's election, he, just like Trump, incited a riot (ours was January's 8, 2023) that tried to silence the opposition and change the election results.

The people on the said riot went through trial and many paid fines or got arrested.

But the military core and Bolsonaro still walked free. We we fought for this not to repeat.

So for the VERY FIRST TIME IN THE STORY OF THIS COUNTRY, we finally, FINALLY, got justice against those who attempted against the democracy. And for that he was found guilty of:

Armed militia.

Attempt of violent dissolution of the democratic state.

Coup d'etat

Qualified damages for violence and serious threat (they had a plan to kill the actual president, Luís Inácio, and the supreme court head, Alexandre.)

Deterioration of historic heritage

And for those crimes, he's sentenced for 27 seven years and 3 months of jail time.

Not only this, the rest of the heads went with him. 26 years for the ex-minister of defense Walter Braga Netto, 24 years for the ex-minister of justice and secretary of defense Anderson Torres, ex-commander of the marine Almir Garnier got 24 years. Augusto Heleno, ex-minister of security affairs got 21, another ex-minister of defense got 19, and lastly, Alexandre Ramagem, who was the director of Brazil's intelligence agency got 16 years.

I can't explain, without telling the whole story of the last 100 years of this country how big this is.

This is a landmark. This change tides. This gave us hope.

When people say rape is about power and not sex it would help to specify that this means rape is facilitated by (including but not limited to) the power men have over women, the power adults have over children etc and not that it means sexual desire is never a motivator for perpetrators

kusali

"Rape is about power, not sex" is meant to orient our thinking away from sexual desire as a cause - because sexual desire is completely fine and value neutral - and towards looking at how sexual assault is possible in the first place, but a lot of people literally think "people never perpetrate sexual assault because they want sex, they only do it because they want to have control over and inflict harm on someone" which is simply not true at all

What to do if you find yourself homless- written by someone who has actually been homeless

Most important: Spend the money you have on a motel. Churches probably will not actually help and shelters can be dangerous or turn you away. At a motel you have free breakfast, access to running water, and a lockable place to sleep. Do not waste money on a gym membership like the popular version of this post says to do, YMCA memberships are like $40.

2. Contact family and friends. Now is not the time to worry about being a burden. Your survival and safety comes first and that is all that matters, anyone worth having in your life will agree.

3. Start a gofundme. Even if someone can’t offer you a place to stay, they might be willing to toss out $5 so you can eat today.

4. Libraries have free wifi. Apply to any and all jobs you can think of if you aren’t already working.

5. Any home is a good home. Even if it’s a dingy apartment in a bad neighborhood. If its cheap and you can afford it, snatch it up.

6. Pancake mix and peanut butter are filling, cheap, and last a long time.

PLEASE SHARE THE FUCK OUT OF THIS

Addendums:

1) Long stay hotels are NOT cheap when you add it up, but they can work for a week or so.

2) It is imperative you find someone willing to let you use their address for local job applications and security screenings. It needs to be someone willing to let you check the mail/give your mail to you who lives in the area you’re trying to find work in.

3) You have a higher chance of accessing emergency social services if you’re actually sleeping outside in an area where they can reach you. It’s fucked up, but if you’re going that route your situation needs to look as dire as possible.

a tip i got from a woman who works with the homeless: if you have to pick between spending money on food or on shelter, pick shelter and go to the food bank. it’s easier to get food from the food bank than to get free shelter, and shelter gives you more opportunities.

also, check out any clothing depots in your area. we have one connected to our food bank. they can help you with clothes for a job interview, work boots, etc.

libraries also have so much to offer! like op mentioned they have free wifi (and won’t kick you out like businesses), but you can also ask librarians about services they offer such as seminars or any technology you can borrow. they’re also a good safe place to hang out during the day to get out of the heat/cold.

find out about cool off/warm up places in your area. you can usually find these by looking up local harm reduction agencies. harm reduction agencies do a lot of essential work, and the people there will be able to help you. harm reduction encompasses more than just drug use, and those organizations have experience working with the homeless.
