#because they dont use it for their classes

[ceasarslegion]

Hi, hello, @forwomenbiwomen. You can not be sharing a post about rehabilitation while creating a class of people you refuse to rehabilitate. It doesn't fucking work like that.

You either want rehabilitation for everyone, or you get it for no one. You don't get to pick and choose. That's not what a moral principle is.

Because surprise, the people in this hypothetical program will be everyone in prison. Including rapists, murderers, and pedophiles. Get used to that right now. Because deciding that there is any line at which someone is no longer worthy of being rehabilitated means that you can arbitrarily move that line wherever anybody wants it to be.

You guys know that prisons have legitimately bad people in them right? And that these posts include them? You guys know that not everyone in prison is a non-violent drug offender or falsely accused, right? A lot of prisoners have actually, really done terrible, heinous, unforgivable things to innocent people. If your so-called prison rehabilitation doesn't include them, you don't actually believe in prisoner rehabilitation. You just want to be allowed to kill people. You dont believe in prison abilition, or reform, you just want to be the one who gets to be the prison warden. You just want to be the one who decides the abuse they get today. What you're against is the fact that right-wingers are the ones calling the shots instead of you. Because you want all the exact same shots called, you just want to be the one to do it.

And you should stop acting like you believe in any of this, because you don't. You don't, really. You just want to look good on the internet.

I'm not actually inherently against the idea of prison labour in the sense that I am not against fairly compensated, voluntary jobs for prisoners. If there was a well-regulated program in place to give prisoners jobs with the same paycheque anyone else in that field gets, with training, work experience, job skills, etc when they got out I'd be all for it. That way they'd have a proper resume and demonstrated skills to fall back on and could find work and rejoin society again on their own independence, like how rehabilitation is supposed to work. Actually, add some financial literacy and life skills education on top of that while they're serving their sentence, and you're setting them up for success rather than re-incarceration when they get out again. What I'm against is slave labour forced upon prisoners for pennies on the dollar, if they get anything at all.

⊱✿⊰ summary: headcanons with bakugo and a black cat girl

⊱✿⊰ warnings: swearing, suggestive comments, fighting ig, idrk

⊱✿⊰ notes: i have had this request for like fifteen months lol but im finally doing it for my pookie's bday. Happy birthday ml 🫶 im posting it now so i dont forget lol

❀ he hates you at first sorry not sorry. bakugo just sees you as yet another one of those extras who happen to have an annoying tendency to fight with him. i feel like he might respect your tenacity but barely and he still hates your guts whoops

❀ on the topic of hatred, your other classmates half are jokingly shipping you and the other half are just wishing you two would stop fighting. mina is at the head of the shipping bandwagon especially after she read a book with rivals to lovers. todoroki might say he ships you guys only because he thinks it means he wants you two to get along lol

❀ your arguments would mostly be stupid shit like who rescued who, who did better on the assignment. you guys are rivals who also get into fistfights because why not.

❀ bakugo doesn't think much of your swearing problem because he's used to it by his mom. you're just another annoying person who happens to like using some naughty words all the time (him in girl form)

❀ i feel like the way you two get closer is kinda sad but also drama yay. basically mineta was being an S-class pervert and he was literally harassing you.

❀ and it made you uncomfortable so you started to fight back. bakugo doesn't find you until the aftermath, huddled in the corner of the dorm while trying to hide your tears

❀ he didn't know seeing someone cry could make his heart clench like that. But for some reason, seeing you all teary eyed and sad made him want to punch the living daylights out of whoever made you like that

❀ as awkwardly as he can, he tries to comfort you. His large hand patting your back, not saying anything since words have never been his forte. He was used to using anger to battle his sadness, he didn't know how to help someone succumb to it.

❀ you guys sit there in comfortable silence until you explain to bakugo what happened. he'd always hated the little brat but now he was wishing he had uraraka's powers so he could throw mineta into space. how was the creep still in the hero course?

❀ lets just say the nice day mineta looked more like a cranberry than a grape

❀ you guys aren't particularly close after that but he does tend to notice you more which means his respect for you goes up. you're in combat training and you beat deku? fuck yeah he likes you now. even if you don't hate deku like he does he still thought it was awesome seeing you beat the daylights out of him.

❀ the moment he realized he liked you was when he almost lost you. by now hanging out was pretty regular for the two of you, even if bakugo would rather die than admit that he sees you as a friend. and since you guys spent time together he was around for whenever you got crushes...and told him about it.

❀ most of the time he would shrug it off, especially since half of your crushes were fictional and why would he care? he's not jealous! however you started falling for a boy in class 2b which (for some reason) was a major no go for bakugo. why would you want to date a stupid extra when he was right in front of you

❀ despite what everyone says he isn't the most emotionally constipated. it takes awhile yeah but i imagine he started going to therapy during the course of the show so he started to understand what feelings went where and etc

and one thing was for certain: this feeling was love.

❀ he started being a massive asshole after that. he went right back to always arguing with you or ignoring you completely. he might understand his feelings but that doesn't mean he knows how to handle them

❀ he was so wrapped up in his angry emoness that he didn't know you had stopped talking to the boy from class 2b, forgetting him entirely. he also failed to notice the hurt looks you'd give bakugo before you snapped right back into your harsh comebacks.

❀ the reason you guys even talk it out is during a simulation where the both of you get stuck inside rubble. you were both exhausted, dehydrated, and heartbroken.

❀ you just couldn't help but ask, "why do you hate me?" which basically broke his heart into a million little pieces. he couldn't help the way he admitted to his feelings, the way he handed you his heart in hopes you'd keep it safe...and safe you did.

❀ if you two as rivals were bad you two dating is even worse. you guys are the ultimate power couple, able to tear anybody down with a few well placed sneers and snorts.

❀ everybody either loves or hates you guys. mina obviously loves you guys even if you two are constantly arguing still plus with the added of you two tag teaming one person. she loves when she manifests things.

❀ you guys still have that silly banter and with your tempers. but now you guys made up your arguments with kisses and cuddles

❀ you guys aren't allowed to get paired together for assignments because you are either bickering or making out. and aizawa is too tired to try to stop it.

I keep thinking about it, I think we really dont appreciate how solid BNHAs ending was in the end, especially given the circumstances of Horikoshi being overworked af and probably(?) pressured into continuations, spin-offs, etc... by editors and publishers. Like, lets go through just a handful of things about that ending:

No "Suddenly they are all married" after the time skip. Like, this story had ships and shipping and they VERY EASILY could have pulled a Naruto and marry characters that spoke a grand total of 3 lines to each other. Instead they imply some possible ships but leave everything open, so everyone can easily imagine their own fave ships happening just out of sight.

No "The powers/magic is gone/all problems are solved forever". Also a annoyingly persistent thing in similar stories, but no, Heroes continue to be a thing, they fought a big battle, but it was only ONE battle, not the FINAL one to ever be fought, its a wonderfully open "And the Adventure continues" Ending!

So many main characters are still alive? Like, there were SO many possibilities for extra cheap drama deaths both among the class (Aoyama probably being the most obvious pick) but also among other characters. Heck, All Might is still alive and he's been a walking death-flag since the second chapter of the story ffs!

Theres more but these are some of the things that (positively) surprised me the most, partially because I have gotten to used to the opposite. Not to say that the ending was perfect or gave us everything we ever wanted, but given how big and popular the series has gotten and how often the endings of such scope end up falling apart, I really appreciate how solid this ending was in the end.

I saw someone claim that the MHA ending was worse than the ending of Naruto and I could feel my respect for them draining.

It was a good ending! All the major loose ends were tied up and everything is improving due to the direct actions of the characters in ways consistent with their characterization.

i am just as terrified as the rest of you.

my parents, my best friend and her boyfriend, every single fucking kid in my senior class, they all agree with him. they all voted for him, or would have if they could have.

it hurts being the only one. but i have to. we have to. we cant just let ourselves fade into the background and let this happen. if ive learned anything from reading fahrenheit 451 this year at school, its that giving up and giving in to the government is the worst possible thing for people like us to do.

dont give up. dont stop screaming. dont stop crying. dont stop protesting. dont stop smiling and laughing and loving and being yourself. dont let anyone stop you. it may get people killed. it may cause more ridicule. it may get worse. but it will get better.

we can make it through these four years. we can survive. we can prevail. weve been surviving for thousands of years. we can do four more.

just dont give up. dont let yourself detransition because thats what people are telling you to do. dont let your hair grow out even though you like it short. dont stop taking your meds. drink some water. eats some crackers. breathe. we can do this. we can get through this. together.

were all in this together, as cheesy as that is. but we are. and we can do this together.

i know this is so much easier said than done. trust me, i know. i stood by idly, letting my friends and classmates talk and talk and said nothing. but not anymore. im going to speak my mind when the opportunity presents itself. and you should too. fight the fear. fight the anxiety. try.

maybe, just maybe, we can do this together.

Break from ww2 vets to my home countries own wars, gotta love goya

Some context, spanish people rebelled against the french rule in a series of battles called las guerras de independencia, they were brutal, because most of the army was french so they used a series of guerrilla tactics.

I dont remember much about history class but if its something interesting feel free to ask!

Goya's the Third of May 1808 can be called the beginning of modern anti-war art.

There’s so much going on in this painting: the anonymous soldiers whose expressions we can’t see, the bloody deaths of the already-executed men, the pleading expression on the face of the man in the white shirt, the man with his head in his hands, unable to bear the awfulness of it all. It adds up to one of the most iconic anti-war statements in art history. As Jackson Arn writes,

The Spanish government officials who hired Goya must have thought they were commissioning a memorialization and, by the same token, a celebration of Spain and Spain alone. What they got instead celebrated nothing and condemned war, no matter who waged it or why. As the Napoleonic Wars faded into history, the painting’s universality became clearer. To 21st-century eyes, the figures in The Third of May don’t seem particularly French or Spanish. It is simple enough to imagine this shadowy, pared-down scene playing out in Germany in 1942, in Chile in 1973, or in Iraq in 2006. Small wonder, then, that artists from around the world continue to turn to Goya when realizing their own anti-war visions.

the finnish food tasting segment finally dropped and there is quite literally nothing funnier than maffhew who desires the approval and opinion of his great beloved captain in what he considers him an expert in aka finland so honestly does his opinion really matter in the grand scheme of things if sasha doesnt like said food?

match made in terrible eating manner heaven, amen

[lilwolfgirrl]

No. This election might seem bad now, but we've survived a trump presidency before and we can again. We'll be okay.

All of the news, and the posters talking about how bad things are going to be, they're not fortune-tellers. They dont know. They're just being scary, because thats how they get engagement, and because they're scared and dont know how to handle it.

Don't give in to despair. But you don't have to be angry, either, if thats not something you can do. For every person fighting out of anger, we need two or three fighting out of care.

Care for the people around you, your friends, family, and neighbors. Care for the homeless in your area, the minorities, the immigrants, the drug users. Care for the queer people in your community.

Support each other, build networks of care and support so that if and when the government fails you, no one is left falling, because your net is there to catch them.

And care for the people overseas. The ones who are being directly targeted by usamerican fascism. Support the palestinians targeted by genocide, in whatever ways you're able.

You dont have to be angry. But you do have to care. And we cant let any of us give in to despair. The results of this election are really irrelevant in the larger scheme of things. It was never going to end the world, or save it.

If you want the world to be better, you can make it happen. You have to make it happen. Because the ruling class never will, and we cannot rely on them to do the work that has been given to us

hey, now that orange man is back can we get angry about the kids in cages in concentration camps like 20 miles away from me? like. you know, the concentration camps that were started by obama and have continued running unmentioned and unhindered during biden/harris' term?

can we be angry about the genocide biden/harris have been directly funding?

can we be angry about the multiple transphobic and transmisogynistic bills that passed during biden/harris' term, which they did nothing to stop?

can we be angry about the loss of roe v. wade which also happened during biden/harris' term?

can we be angry about the continued funding and militarisation of police, and the exponential rise of police brutality and myrders that have happened during biden/harris' term?

now that there's someone unlikeable coming into office, can we be angry again about all the stuff you've been ignoring because the oval office is blue?

number #1 tactic that people use to not sound as racist as they are when they talk to black people: 'uhh so you AMERICANS need to stop pretending everything is about YOU. why should i know this im not from the us :/' (= is talking about like. a phenomenally internationally well-known black artist)

[pansyfemme]

i have been a ball of depression lately as well as my physical health worsening pretty severly this past week due to stress and so my friends have been. trying so hard to get me to get out and do things and its very sweet but i feel bad because the whole time i’m just a total mess

[dykedvonte]

Honestly I see Jimmy's refusal to put Curly out of his misery less about his weird feelings of envy or his delusions but the fact Curly is all but stated to be a shield to Jimmy from his actions and people seeing the worst in him.

The only characters that Jimmy really interacts with one on one before the crash are Curly and Anya, two individuals he has wildly different relationships with. It's likely that Curly really did most of the talking between them as the pilots and the rest of the crew as staff. They didn't know of Jimmy's more reprehensible behaviors cause they never really had the chance to and Jimmy is subconsciously aware. If they had disliked him more than Anya would have told Swansea earlier or even Daisuke when things got really bad.

It's why he takes the immediate opportunity to blame Curly; He's the shield. He's saved Jimmy's ass more times than he can count and more times than Jimmy would ever admit. Even when he can't really do it anymore, he mentally shields himself from his own faults by putting Curly between them. Letting Curly die puts too much on him because he doesn't know how to function without a safety net.

In the end Curly only lives because Jimmy needs the idea that Curly will inevitably make things better to stay alive, meaning Curly has to live, no matter how much it pains him to do so.

mnemonic (slight flash warning)

[tiktowafel]

do you ever think about how all you used to draw when you were 10 was ponies and that you should still know how to do that, then get an idea and proceed to draw something like these in nearly one sitting and it turns out better than any drawing you've done in the entire past month

sooo anyway does anyone have cutie mark or pony name ideas for them?? lol

[watcherwingedcat]

first of all, no, non-alterhumans hating on us isnt anyones fault, and especially not the kid's

I can see why I was in the wrong there, you're right (that's why I said I didn't want to blame, I don't like to blame). I accept that I was wrong there, and I'll change my views from now on.

I don't think I mentioned the kids at any point tho? I was talking about some specific cases I saw on tiktok, when they were literally spreading misinformation for hate-bate. I don't have screenshots, and obviously I don't remember who, but it was very very wrong take clearly just for views.

people were always going to hate us, no matter what. no matter how slow we were, how careful, how gentle, how watered down we made our experiences. that would never have worked, for a very simple reason: people fear what they dont understand.

Yeah, that's what... I said in the post. People are afraid of change, of acknowledging that minorities exist and that are unusual and have "weird" culture values. One thing that I disagree on your take is the phrase "that would never have worked". It could. It should. I believe that people can change their minds, and that they can be accepting. It's literally my line of work: I think that, no matter what minority, we can be accepted by everyone eventually. It may be a foolish approach, but I have hope that someday humans (everyone, really) will leave those ways behind.

That's because, well, look how much progress the human kind has done in the past two decades! Look at how much acceptance, how much love, how much information we have everywhere to educate people! Of minorities that in the past were mocked for their way of life! Yeah, it will take years, lots of lots of years, and some people can't change or be reasoned with, but as a whole society is progressing (slowly) towards a more kind world.

you study social education so you have probably heard about it in class: the process by which privileged members of marginalized groups comply with dominant social norms to advance their groups condition.

That's true. That's completely true. Can you blame them, tho? Everyone wishes for acceptance. I was not blaming people on tiktok for expressing themselves. I'm just pointing out that they are spreading misinformation, and that's something it should be changed. Again, the power of education.

I'm not blaming them for posting, we all have freedom of speech, and all of that. I was specifically talking about ragebating there, where people just post really wild takes in order to receive traction and views.

we dont need to water down our experiences so people can accept us more easily. people just need to be more accepting of experiences they dont understand.

Completely agree with you there. We don't owe anyone anything. But people sometimes can't change. And yeah, they should be kinder with one another, regardless if they understand what their identities are or not. But sometimes, people can't change. And we shouldn't have to be used to constant attacks, threats and hate. I've received a few death threats myself by haters, and yeah yeah, block and report, but it gets so tiring eventually. We are literally just existing and posting about our identities, it shouldn't be that hard for people to just don't interact if they don't like what they said.

In one of my classes we're talking about respecting minorities, and my teacher listed some. We have lots of types of discrimination: Racial, homophobia and transphobia, against woman, against children, against poor people... Literally whatever you can think of.

It's kind of sad, that with all of the technological advances that we have today, how far we've come in terms of acceptance... People can't respect. It's a matter of literally not being a dick, not insult someone. It's literally just that. You can think whatever you want about anyone, of course, free speech and whatever... But if you know your opinions are going to harm someone, why share them?

For example, I don't like that most parents nowadays just shove a tablet in front of their children and call that parenting. I found that lazy, harmful. But I don't publicly shame those parents, because I don't know their struggles, their point of view on their situation. They may just need a break. Maybe they don't have time to spend time with their children. But at the end of the day is not my business, and is not my place to share MY opinions about THEIR situation. They didn't ask for it, don't need it. And I should learn to shut up about it.

That's kinda what I was able to teach to my roommates about therianthropy, why they accepted me: At the end of the day, it's my identity. I'm not harming anyone, I'm just being myself. They don't have a say in it, I know me better than anyone. It's not their business to shame me, because they are doing it with malicious intent, just to harm me.

I know it sounds difficult, but just ignore them. And most importantly, educate them. I'll say it now, I'll say it again and again: Education is the best tool to end discrimination and violence. Haters are just that, haters. They attack what's different, what they don't understand, because they are just trying to harm and divide us. We need to stick together, and advocate for what's right. That's the way to end it.

Run, howl, bite.

Got my hands on a Ultra Analysis BNHA book from a library

Some points I liked (I focused more on 1B since they don't get a lot of attention)

1B once had a Tetsutetsu BBQ. They heated him up and cooked food on him. He proceeds to ruin it when he declares his sweat is the salt to their food

Yui is canonically the prettiest first-year

Mineta has no sex appeal at all, but he thinks being a hero will make him lucky

Class B does respect Monoma. He's sharp-minded, witty, and has a way with words

Monoma sometimes wanders into 1A's dorm just to throw down a mean speech, and heads back to 1B

Juzo probably isn't helping Monoma's confrontations with 1A, since he just always asks him why he can't say it to their faces whenever Monoma complains about them

Shiozaki tries to be polite even in a fight

Pony hosts anime parties, so 1B knows a lot about anime. Vice-versa, they teach her Japanese, and everything nasty is Monoma's fault

Tokage was a gyaru

Tsuburuaba, Kaibara, and Kuroiro get worked up whenever they talk about girls

Manga likes Kenranzaki

Awase's family runs a small factory. He also restrains Monoma whenever Kendo isn't available

1B likes hearing Rin say "Aiyah", so he does it for them

Kamakiri is obsessed with cutting into things

Class B's play was really successful

Tamaki is scared of Kirishima's energy

1C was planning a send-off party for Shinsou for his upcoming hero transfer. They didn't doubt he would make it, ever since the Sports Festival

Shishikura (meatball Shiketsu boy) might've chosen Shiketsu because he likes the uniform's hat

Nakagame and Yo are dating

Tsuyu's family gets to spend a lot of time together now, since their parents' busy jobs have calmed down

Tsubasa (devil wing kid in Midoriya's memories) suspiciously lost touch with Midoriya and Bakugo in middle school (his Wiki page confirms Garaki - his grandfather - turned him into a Nomu)

Torino likes goofy gags. This rubs off on All Might (ex. when Midoriya thought he died when Torino fell with ketchup. People don't know whether to laugh or be concerned)

Nighteye has yellow streaks in his hair as a homage to All Might

Nezu likes worming into tight, dark places, so he likes Aizawa's scarf. They went into detail, describing why Nezu likes it, such as material to crawling in, etc.

Recovery Girl has to travel around Japan regularly to help people with her Quirk (as in, she uses her Quirk to help them. Healing Quirks are SO rare)

Hojo, Tabe, and Sestuno are kept in the same jail, so at least they're not separated
