#abolish them? fucking no

[chiaracqueen]

anytime y'all scream about "abolishing the juries" in the name of "original, creative songs" i can't help but think about the fact that the public placed spain last and poland eight.

i know y'all like to think you would reward originality. but you wouldn't

the whole "doflamingo has always been evil" thing doesn't sit right with me. idk. maybe it's because i think the environment during childhood is what shapes someone's personality, especially if there's a traumatic experience. and call me crazy, but perhaps being raised in a world full of supremacists and classists with an extreme god complex can affect your views on the world and yourself at a very early age. and perhaps i'm being a bit insane here, but, like, idk. maybe being fucking tied up and tortured and seeing everything you love burnt down to ashes while a whole town tells you you're evil for your mere existence could make you develop a hatred towards them. and, wow! maybe i'm saying something wild, but if you're taking care of your little brother and an older man tells you you're the chosen one to create a fucking mafia and he boosts your god complex to an insane, unhealthy, and almost grooming-like extent, of fucking course you're gonna end up like doflamingo.

but idk, call me crazy.

It should be a criminal offense if an insurance company is responsible for a delay in a policyholder's necessary health care.

Withholding prescribed treatments, even for just a day, can be anywhere from inconvenient to catastrophic for the victim. Medical providers may not withhold necessary treatment from any patient on any grounds, as it is their duty to provide it-- it should be justly illegal for any "middle man" to interfere with a medical provider's legal and ethical obligation to treat a patient.

Severity of the charge and its legal consequences should depend upon the scope of the offense (length of delay) and its consequences to the victim (impact on the person).

The testimonies of the victim, the pharmacy, and the medical provider who prescribed the treatment should be key considerations for the determination. Additional important testimony should come from the victim's other medical providers, housemates, family, educators/mentors, colleagues/coworkers, or employers.

The charge should become criminal record for the company. The company (perhaps the agent's office) should be fined per day delayed.

Some taxation can be applied; just to pay off the folks who do the filing, advocacy, testimony, processing. A hefty majority of the fine should be compensation owed to the victim.

If delays became a criminal charge on companies' records, then companies would have a strong motive to terminate agents who aren't performing with punctuality. It would become their best financial interest to invest only in timely agents who would, in turn, gain a best interest to invest only in timely subordinates.

I posit that insurance delays would wane significantly, resulting in more timely delivery of treatments to policyholders, and many people's qualities of life would improve drastically for it.

Honestly, attachment to sex rather than gender as a social construction won't create a utopia without the subjugation of one's presentation, background, or experience from existing. Recognizing that sex and gender are both socially constructed and while they sometimes inform one another, they won't always, and that trans people absolutely can attest to this and are integral to making change for a better world are insurmountably important. If your desire for a "better world" coincidentally doesn't include us, what you desire isn't a better world where people are free - it is subjugation by a different name.

a lot of people in this fandom need to stop using the word media literacy the moment people have a different opinion that you btw

[cavity-collector]

i think everyone should at some point meet a few really horrible people and have in depth conversations with them. it really broadens your perspective. u cant dehumanize them anymore when you know them so well, even if they truly have no motive behind their actions other than “i dont care about other people and i want them to be in pain” thats still. a person saying that. you can ask them about their day or things they’re interested in. you can ask them about their philosophy and their upbringing. they arent just a boogeyman that we should keep the death penalty reserved for, you only feel that way because youve reduced them down to their immorality and stopped seeing them as a person.

​getting the info of the total number of money donated to Kamala Harris (so far $81 million), the demographics of those on the zoom that donated (many black women), and then seeing the bodycam footage of Sonya Massey’s murder all at the same time this morning has darkened my heart

i honestly feel like the cis vs. trans debate depends on how we’re defining the terms. “trans” as in “no association with your agab whatsoever”? probably excludes a good sum of trans people. “cis” as in “only expresses their gender through stereotypical presentation and/or never experiments with the concept of gender”? probably excludes a good chunk of cis people. but this doesn’t necessarily conflict with or negate the cultural significance of being cisgender or transgender and labeling those experiences as such. cis and trans people obviously receive very different treatments and privileges, so it’s less about strictly defining what it means to be cis or trans and more about how these terms (as broad groupings) help us understand and identify where we stand. they’re communication devices first and foremost, not diagnoses. i hope that makes sense

My biggest take is that police are under no protection of anonymity in the police force specifically. Citizens, by nature of being a citizen, have the right to anonymity in any capacity that is not a direct threat to the law or other people. So many cops operate as though they deserve to be completely anonymous in the same way that an individual citizen can, and that's where corruption will be exasperated.

i haven’t had to come out since like. 2017/2018 somewhere in there idr and back then i was a literal child so i kind of don’t remember how this all works. coming out as trans is one of the stupidest things ever like hey person i never really talk about deep things with heres an incredibly personal facet of my identity that frankly you have no business knowing but we live in a society so here we are. but then simultaneously i have such a huge sense of relief like oh right hiding a relatively important part of myself for nearly half my life from my dearest family member is in fact weighing on me a bit okay 👍
