Where did you think Top Cop Harris come from

Hey, I'm not the most knowledgeable on this subject, but yes, I have heard that Kamala called herself Top Cop while she was District Attorney.

The only two posts on my blog that address this have imo pretty nuanced takes on this, which boil down to:

Kamala is not perfect, but we can't wait for a perfect candidate to magically appear

Therefore, you can absolutely criticize her for things she did, things she contributed to, things that happened on her watch

But you should criticize her for what really happened. People may not know that she wasn't a uniformed officer who physically arrested people. She got into law to protect women and children from abuse

Yes, she was upholding a corrupt and racist system. But criticize her for that. Not for lies

We can talk about the nuances of what she WAS, but we first have to correct the mistaken impression of what she WASNT

.

Additionally, I think it should be allowed to feel hope for a candidate that isn't as bad as you thought. It's allowed to correct some misinformation around you

I'm not looking at this election like she's some savior who will fix the world just bc she's not really a cop. I'm hoping that ppl won't write her off based on inaccurate information, only accurate information. Bc the only other alternative is That Guy

.

Again, I'm not an expert on this. But the takes that I elevate aren't only the ones that I like or agree with; they're the takes that I think make a good point or are worth chewing on.

Some greatest hits from this post:

Be careful what you read, always be critical of how facts are presented to you, and don't be afraid to admit when you're wrong.

There's no such thing as a good cop, but there do exist naive cops with good intentions who think they can change the system from within

The real nuance is that the position of "top cop" or whatever can't be left empty. When you're filling out the ballot and get to sheriffs and prosecutors, every candidate is an acab. There are no right choices simply by what the nature of the job is. But there are candidates who will attempt that incremental change, and ones who can make things much worse.

She gets my vote at least, she's definitely better than trump or biden, but I'm still hesitant to give my absolute full support.

And from this post:

It didn’t hit me until recently that people genuinely think Kamala Harris was a police officer because of all the people who call her a cop online.

We can discuss how related that is to police work and how tied she is to the carceral system etc etc (but for fairness would have to include her record of pushing for lowering incarceration rates through programs helping former prisoners + her office refusing to jail folks for low level weed offense). But she was never a police officer. 

I think it’s important to note she learned and grew over time, as well.

What drives me crazy about the prosecutor/district attorney = cop common line of leftist thinking is that. People always talk about when a progressive DA is appointed, and how important that is, because the DA literally can just decide not to prosecute certain offenses.

I’d also like to add that if you look at her record in a timeline she has gotten progressively more liberal!

#some ppl will call it pandering but uhhhh we literally want our politicians to listen to our concerns and change their policies based on it

We vote for the weakest adversary. The weakest adversary is always the politician who mostly agrees with you but got where they are by compromising with an unjust system. Elect that person and mush their face in the compromises they’ve made and we can undo the fucked up laws and practices !!!! Or you can let someone who can never be convinced because they hold opposite views on criminalization, incarceration, police brutality and immunity, etc. If you don’t understand or care that voting works this way, where’s your pipe bombs and guerilla fighter cells? Cause that or complacency with fascist takeover is all you’re eating 

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

#youre not gonna budge trump #but if youre not happy with kamala #nudge her left! #dont let perfect be the enemy of good #or progress #we're still on the wrong side of the line #but how are we going to get to the right side without taking a single step?

PHOTOGRAPHY [/fəˈtɑːɡrəfi/]

———————————————————— ၄၃

"I wonder if you have noticed the subtle presence of the flash by now, the best photos are the ones when you don't have to put on a mask on for someone else's sake"

"It happened when we finally connected with something we have in common; the admiration of capturing the beauty of the moment. Making time stop and framing it in the most expensive frame I own for an eternity...making space in my heart for more than one frame, one more memory, one more conversation...one more photo of you"

today marks another birthday for this sweet, wonderful, kind, and amazing creature that goes by the name Żmija. nearly popping out in the fall, but with her heart as hot and impatient as the sun of july morning, she rushed for the last days of summer where she truly belongs - so of course, a summertime portrait it is :-)

wishing you the happiest and most love-filled of celebrations, @slavicafire -from yours truly and yours forever :-)

Still relistening to wolf 359 its sooooo good .... Eiffels writing is hitting me this time .. like it's not super in ur face but there's such a horribly consistent throughline in his self perception and treatment of himself... How early on he seems to find it depressing and then infuriating that his being on the Hephaestus has no purpose, that he was given a nonsense task to occupy him while himself being the subject of someone else's (supposedly) actually meaningful task. And ofc his backstory (extended version) feeds into this wrt to him feeling like he needs to be punished, but what breaks my heart is the "first day" mini ep because you can tell he really cares about doing a good job and wants to be useful and that is not only denied to him but then twisted horribly when he is "given" the "chance" to "contribute to something greater than himself" via the decima project. I honestly thought he might be persuaded eventually to allow hilbert to continue his experiments because it would make him feel like he had a purpose again. Like, I don't think it's bad writing or anything to have him not take hilbert up on that offer, but i do think it makes sense for his character to assume he did think about it. Anyway this post is prompted by his stunt in the hiccups method because it's so tragically fitting that his solution to the problem would be to put himself in danger, because Eiffel operates under the assumption that he lacks competence and that he could never help out by using his skills or knowledge or unique perspective, so when pressed for a way to be useful he goes to the only option he sees - to make use of his body, his simply being there, his ability to feel pain and be put in danger - his disposability, you could even say, although in this specific situation it's kind of his indispensability that makes the plan work. Ough now that i think about it this stunt is a WORD FOR WORD COPY AND PASTE of what minkowski did when she put a gun to Eiffel's head to get intel out of hilbert!!!!! Oughhhhhhh I'm unwell this podcast is so well written

can someone make a qsmp yuri or generally just qsmp women fan community group. if i could i would. a qsmp group in general for the whole fandom would be funny as hell because of the size of the fandom. it would be massive. there would be so much drama. but i think this could exist without drama. imagine.... a big group chat of bagina soldiers. bagi chatters. tinaheads. baghera lovers. jaiden mourners. niki devotees. ironmouse army. rivers warriors. YD champions!!! lenay... are there any lenayheads out there. you as well 🫡 she was fun when she logged on. there is a distinct enough group of us. i think we should have a community. obviously we arent all on the 24/7 women grind all the time unless we are. but i think the more the fandom loses steam, the harder it is to find some people willing to appreciate rbing the same post appreciating baghera killing people with a chainsaw 27266161 times in a row and then 30 minutes later posting screaming crying throwing up about a bagina date from months ago. i think we need a place for this. qsmp women fans. we have survived this far. it has not been easy. lets get on this. this is my speech and proposal to all of you
