On March 5th, 1959, 69 African American boys, ages 13 to 17, were padlocked in their dormitory for the night at the Negro Boys Industrial School in Wrightsville. Around 4 a.m., a fire mysteriously ignited, forcing the boys to fight and claw their way out of the burning building. The old, run-down, & low-funded facility, just 15 minutes south of Little Rock, housed 69 teens from ages 13-17. Most were either homeless or incarcerated for petty crimes such as doing pranks. 48 boys managed to escape the fire. The doors were locked from the outside and fire mysteriously ignited on a cold, wet morning, following earlier thunderstorms in the same area of rural Pulaski County. The horrific event brought attention to the deplorable conditions in which the boys lived. The boys all slept in a space barely big enough for them to move around & theyre one foot apart from one another & their bathroom was a bucket at the corner where they had to defecate in. In an ironic twist, the land in which the school stood is now the Arkansas Department of Correction Facility Wrightsville Unit. In 2019 a plaque was finally placed after 60 years.
PURE EVIL!!! MY GOD!!

Last RB for context of posting this
I found more related material now I'm home and going through my records for a new assessment (since I'm super quirky and can't remember my childhood, or personal things like the way I act and feel)
Maybe I'll redo this someday

it’s just a 24/7 game of ‘can i pretend to be sane enough that i’m not totally and completely shut off from society’ and unfortunately it seems that more often than not the answer is no i cannot
#i wish i didn’t have to be stressed about it#i wish i could just exist as i am without danger from society and institutions and neglect#if i had proper supports and no threat of institutionalization or forced treatment i would be in a much better place i think#and if i could just#fit somewhere#or even just be allowed to exist on the fringe#i could be satisfied with that#just a little of a life#idk#i’m just scared all of the time of what happens when i can’t hide it enough and they try to take me again#:(

I think what a lot of people don't understand is that the cultural and societal aspects of religion can still exist in a society that is 100% secular. Most atheists aren't anti-theists, in fact, most of them still take part in many religious customs and celebrations in a secular form. Anti-theism doesn't even mean the eradication of religion, it's typically used to describe the intellectual opposition to belief in a deity,
So, I'm honestly perplexed whenever I see people arguing that the "end goal" of atheism is to eradicate religion, this is something both religious people and ill-informed atheists believe, for some reason. I guess this is what happens when Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris are your go-to atheists and you're measuring atheism against the most extreme religious zealots because that's what most people are reactive towards.
What should be completely removed are almost all forms of institutionalized religion and religious power structures. These are the exactual oppressive structures that have used religion as a tool to justify every form of bigotry and crime against humanity. They are also not essential to the practice of the religion or the survival of the religious culture. Your right to practice your religion ends if you're using said religion to advocate for the oppression of Muslims (assuming you're not practicing Islam), atheists, LGBT+ people, and other minorities. You can be a church-going Catholic without advocating for state-sanctioned religion or the rights of others being removed. This evangelical breed of religious extremism has no place in society and is what actually leads to real genocides happening today.
#non royal#text#also people really do act as if atheists are persecuting religious folks by being annoying and edgy#in my opinion it's like comparing islamophobia to a dislike of Christianity in canada/america#one is a form of dangerous systemic bigotry that kills and the other is at most being rude/ignorant#the religious majority always prosecutes religious minorities including atheists#i'm serious that atheist persecution is an actual problem and the rights of irreligious people are neglected#if you look at how atheists are treated in many religious communities and by evangelical governments there is no comparison#and they have little to no institutional power to fight for their rights as a group#in the US state governments are often times trying to institutionalize religion in ways that harm muslims atheists and all nonevangelicals#the things ron desantis and other republicans have said about atheists would make me feel unsafe living in their states as an atheist

ibara; origin,
[yes, I'm entirely overhauling her backstory. don't look at me]
Ibara Shiozaki was born to Maria and Kanabo Shiozaki on September 8th, 2198. Her father was a retired hero, and her mother was a doctor who specialized in mitigating negative quirk impacts on the body of their users. This was born from her own quirk-- Manchineel, which, similar to Ibara's, replaced her hair with foliage-- but this foliage excreted a painful sap she had no natural defense to and required constant medical care and dosages of an herbicide that rendered the plant underdeveloped.
At the point in the pregnancy when they realized Ibara was going to share a similar mutation, Maria made the decision to stop taking the medication in order to avoid it spreading to the developing fetus. Ibara was born with a healthy seed coat, but Maria would die about six months later due to health complications from both her quirk and the lingering impact of a difficult pregnancy and birth.
Kanabo came out of retirement to support his new child. However, the reason for his early retirement (age 30) had been damage to his heart and lungs, which would lead to a more severe cardiac failure when Ibara was around five years old, rendering him unable to work and, as time would reveal, unable to take care of a young child, due to long-lasting neurological and functional issues. He would be placed in long-term hospital care, and Ibara would be placed with another relative-- her mother's sister, Mei Fujita, a quirk specialist doctor similar to her sister, although with a focus on clinical practice. They would live together for about three years before Mei realized she was in no position to take care of a child, emotionally or career-wise, often resulting in Ibara being left alone for long periods of time, a schedule too inconsistent to keep up with school, and undue stress on both of them.
At age 8, Ibara would be placed in a religious child care institution, in line with the wishes of her father, who wanted her to grow up with the faith. Her aunt, from then on, would remain as a frequent visitor (as frequent as she could be, anyways) and as a personal physician for Ibara, due to the nature of her quirk and worry that it may develop into something similar to Manchineel. Her father writes often, but the two rarely get to visit, due to the strict rules around leaving institution grounds for the both of them. That being said, Ibara loves them both very much.
The institution itself housed around 40 children at any given time, of varying ages, maintained by a convent of nuns and other clergy, and with an associated school. Staffing was stretched thin most of the time, and physical discipline was actively utilized in response to what was seen as poor behavior. Ibara threw herself into the faith intensely, which only made her the target of her peers.
Ibara loves her father and aunt very much. She knows, too, that they love her, and that she is very lucky to still have contact with them. But for most of her life, she has wondered if things would be different if she were a less difficult child, and if one day, she would be able to reunite with them if she just behaved well enough. Even her work to get into U.A. and become a hero is, in part, motivated by wanting to make them proud, and to prove that she is, in fact, a good person, to both them and herself.

god i have never been more aligned with edgeworth than i am right now. the man has fucking tested my patience at times, but he’s Correct here.
#ace attorney#seriously phoenix#get a fucking grip#you’re a lawyer#you play a very specific role in a very specific system#and if you try to make that role something it’s not#you undermine the foundations of that system#and in doing so ultimately undermine the very goal you went into this profession with#you chose to carry out your desire to help people in this specific institutional context#and the role you have chosen within this institutional context is not one of judgment#it is one of counsel and defence#whether your client is ‘innocent’ or not your concern or decision#what matter is that you navigate them through that system with their best interests as your compass#if you think this is an imperfect and unfair system that punishes the innocent and fails to mete out proper justice#you’re gonna want to put your energy into reforming the system#neglecting the obligations of your chosen role within that system will do nothing but ensure#that the very people you want to help lose what protections the system currently affords them

societal structures don't rlly make space for abuse to be addressed, it's like they uphold this false version of reality where abuse doesn't happen or doesn't matter and where people who are openly abusive are largely treated as edgy jokers who need to be humoured and people who talk about being abused are largely treated as making a big deal out of something that never happened. there people who would care and who do help sure. but structurally? can u count on a cop to protect u when something heinous happens to u? can u count on the legal system to protect u? can u count on HR? on family? on institutions? on ur religious communities/authorities? u'd be lucky if u could. u'd be lucky. this world is full of traps and full of people who fall into them because they have no safety nets and guess what they become. they become the social other class who fulfill the societal role of keeping everyone else in line through fear. the designated losers who are there to make everyone else think "i can't be/become that" so they maintain the status quo thinking they can be winners in it. the designated people to be thrown under the bus. society as we know it is a butcher's shop where every part is commodified, where being seen as the prime cut is a point of pride but even the less desirable meat serves a purpose and can be sold, can be used.
#i used to think society was the beautiful one and i was ugly and cursed for not fitting in and not getting to play a part#parts of me probably still do#but it is so so ugly#my own family provides certain functions and resources for me while also enabling abuse and poisoning me#and they use the former to excuse the latter#it feels like a lot of structures and institutions do the same#the hospital fixed my broken leg but then they gaslit me when other pains and health problems emerged from my neglect#and i was broken and left with a low quality of life all the same#academia was meant to give me training and prospects but burnt me out so much i still didn't become successful

This goes for mental institutions as well because G-d knows those fuck people up (myself included)
Actually lol I think disabled people who’ve been abused/neglected by doctors/nurses should be allowed to be as pissed as they want about it and people who berate them for not understanding how hard being a doctor/nurse is or some such should literally shut the hell up. There is nothing immoral about being angry, especially about shit like this and if you think disabled people don’t understand how hard capitalist systems can wear you down, well, you’re not just mistaken but ignorant as fuck.

Past is Prologue
Chapter vii, the final chapter but also part of whumptober 2024.
The whole story deals with guilt and survivor's guilt, so I thought it was perfect time to finish it.
Story Summary:
Most students had moved on, but many still held resentment towards the Queen Bee, for the torment she had caused. They weren’t quick to forgive, and if anyone asked Regina, she didn’t care for their forgiveness. The people who did matter forgave her, and that's what mattered.
Everyone else would learn to move on.
She didn’t know how wrong she was.
