you’re tough.

[collapsedsquid]

[argumate]

it’s kind of established that there is no “get out of a beatdown” role you can take other than being a cop yourself, right? media, medics, lawyers, all fair game.

[quasi-normalcy]

Turns out that cops are just dudes who really like beating the shit out of defenceless people. There’s really no other qualification.

[sonneillonv-deactivated20220218]

For those who hate lawyers I do want to point out that legal observers are sent by the National Lawyer’s Guild, which is the primary organization providing pro-bono legal defense to protesters and black community leaders who have been jailed to try to derail the movement.  So, these are not the lawyers you hate.

[lesbiansandpuns]

Just to reiterate: the entire point of NLG legal observers is to deter unlawful or improper behavior on the part of the police / law enforcement personnel–and to document such behavior, if they aren’t successful in deterring it. In the U.S., they have to be trained and certified. Their job is to help you protest to the full extent of your constitutional rights and with minimal interaction with the criminal justice system. I cannot stress the extent to which they are on your side.

[bemusedlybespectacled]

The National Lawyer’s Guild’s motto is “human rights over property interests” and was created as a direct fuck you to conservative and exclusionary bar associations. Their dues are way cheaper than other bar associations and you can join even as a jailhouse lawyer (a prisoner who teaches themselves the law to advocate for others). 

And just because this is literally my job: your negative perception of lawyers is literally propaganda. The portrayal of defense attorneys as evil for defending criminals, the idea that suing people is something only rich or very greedy people do, the complete erasure of legal aid as a thing that exists, are all designed to make you afraid to advocate for your legal rights.

Who was it that taught us that the defense attorney - a person whose job is to ensure justice is done - is immoral and untrustworthy? Who taught us to hate lawyers - the people who know the law? Why do we believe that justice begins and ends with unregulated enforcers who are not required to know the law?

[what-alchemy]

Everyone—everyone!—is entitled to legal representation if they are detained or arrested. This thing where people act like getting a lawyer makes you guilty—that’s propaganda. That’s what we’re talking about when we say cop shows are propaganda designed to brainwash people into thinking cops are always good people looking for justice and lawyers are always immoral douchebags who get murderers off the hook for money. Yes, even BK99 does this.

If you are detained, DO NOT SAY ANYTHING. Never, ever speak to a cop. Demand a lawyer, say nothing.

“Whenever an actor tells me how I should feel about acting it takes me out of the equation as an audience member. What I remind myself of as an actor is that I’m here but it’s not really about me or my feelings about it, it’s about telling the director’s story…so it’s not my job to feel it, it’s the audience’s to feel it.” — ADAM DRIVER

What was going on with Billy’s hair in season 3?

Besides Dacre telling them he wanted Billy’s hair to be longer and probably a bigger wig budget – glorious fluff.

Billy grew out his hair and definitely took Steve’s advice on the Farrah Fawcett spray because that is a serious jump in volume.

S3 is much more consistent compared to S2 and while S2 does have the best in-show Billy hair:

neither season can possibly ever compare to H&M’s take on Billy and his mullet:

H&M knows what beach blond curls are and served it to us as our last meal before s3 came for our lives.

Like.

Dayum.

What was the question again? I get so distracted whenever Billy’s hair gets mentioned alsjhsfkjghdsfshda

Someone: do you like to read books?

Me: * thinks about all the gay fanfic I read at all times *

Me: yes.

[ughbyss]

I majored in English lit in college and I absolutely believe all the fanfics I’ve read have more literary merit than most of the published fiction I’ve gotten through. Fanfic writers are brave and ballsy and laughing and weeping. And they hold your hand. There’s so much contact between writer and reader, it’s visceral. And I think fanfiction is in part a reaction against the shame of an outdated community of people who attach all these rules and regulations and bullshit to the act of writing that they actually just limit their own ability to tell stories. So conclusively--fuck them and keep scrolling through all the cherik you can handle on a Tuesday.
