#police bullshit

'stockholm syndrome' being invented by a police negotiator to explain away why a hostage said police actions were making her and the other hostages feel unsafe is like. yeah

I doubt a whole lot of people will see this but I have to try so:

Basically police in Western Australia are trying to paint protesters as terrorists (surprise surprise; interesting how that word gets flung around so much by the actual perpetrators in situations, isn't it) because they refuse to hand over the information of all the other protesters who have been trying to disrupt Burrup Hub, one of the biggest sources of fossil fuel extraction and pollution in Australia.

They need to keep raising money to fight the ever mounting charges being thrown at climate activists in an attempt to discredit and cow them into standing aside and letting corporations destroy our country, take land from our First Nations People, and make our entire planet increasingly uninhabitable.

Please donate if you can or boost if you can't. We have to increase our pressure because the corporations and their badge-wielding thugs are certainly increasing theirs in an attempt to retain power and the status quo.

Fuck the police; can't even do shit that is their actual job. Go do it yourself. XD

What a wonderful ending.

So my bike was stolen from our garage last night. My beloved, custom, carbon fiber, most-expensive-thing-I-own-aside-from-my-car bike. I just found it listed on FB marketplace. Shit is about to go down.

The professor I TA for asked for things to go in a “pumpkin spice still life”.

Unsure if that meant theme or color but assuming color, I gathered up my plush red panda, a plastic red-brown rock, a toy bison, a leather pouch, some satsumas, and a can of pumpkin.

We set up a fine still life, adding my stuff to his. And one of the students fell in love with my playmobil bison, asking if they could borrow it. I said yes, but only if they could provide collateral. They reached for an earring (after suggesting an organ) and I was like, no no, less valuable collateral!

While they cleaned their brushes I scoped their stuff and asked for their backpack keychain.

For my toy bison I received: a plush toy cheeseburger (the thing I actually asked for), a miniature PS2 copy of Bully, and a tiny vial containing a petrified rat heart that I hadn’t actually seen.

I’m so fucking stoked on the rat heart. If they don’t return my bison I won’t even be too sad.

If you're supposed to stop yourself from enjoying something the moment it turns out somebody in that thing is a bad person at this point let's just never listen to music or watch movies or interact with any sort of media. People exist everywhere and none of them are irreproachable. Torturing yourself wondering if listening to an artist makes you a bad person, feeling guilty and ashamed over something you used to love isn't something you should have to do to acknowledge somebody's wrong-doings holy shit.

When did we find the right to tell others what they're allowed to enjoy?

Loid and Yor going on a couples retreat with Camila and Dominic so they have to pretend the entire time to be in love meanwhile Nightfall is sabotaging monitoring the event for WISE. And back home Anya was left in the care of Sylvia and Yuri which just causes an even bigger mess.

An 18-year-old woman in Regina is facing several charges after she allegedly took off in a stolen police vehicle following officer’s efforts to assist her.

[...]

The officer came to her aid and determined that she was not in distress. As a next step, police transported the woman to a home where she would be allowed to stay with individuals known to her.

As the officer was confirming if the woman was welcome at the home, police say the woman climbed into the driver’s seat and attempted to drive away.

The officer attempted to remove the woman but after a short struggle, she was able to put the vehicle in drive and leave the area.

I don't see the issue in believing that your alters are multiple people or not, but saying that it's "anti recovery" to believe that they are is genuinely one of the most idiotic things i've heard. i don't see why it's a problem? i know so many systems who consider themselves multiple people, who are doing perfectly fine in healing, without needing to see themselves as just "multiple parts of one person". Alters can be so completely complex, they can be so different that you'd genuinely see them as completely different people, because they are different people to that system. This is coming from a plural who sees their parts more as just different parts of themself, by the way. Believing your alters are just multiple parts of one identity is completely fine, but claiming that it's "anti recovery" for others to believe that they're multiple people is one of the shittest things you could do. Just let people do what they want, there isn't anything wrong with that? I definitely see that systems can quite literally have what is basically multiple fully formed identities, fully formed people.

You know how I know that all these bullshit "protests" (hate marches really) are about pure jew hatred and not any legitimate criticism of Israel? Besides of course being a jew and recognizing the old hatred and the fact that these people openly celebrate a massacre and terrorists that have the blood of thousands on their hands? Because nothing this loud and this widespread (worldwide) ever happened to Russians, and I personally know a girl who was kicked out of Prague purely for being Russian.

I wonder if people know that being a BL fangirl was looked down upon in Japan (when BL was basically a thing only in Japan) once upon a time.

I remember I told my Japanese friend in high school after we already were very good friends and I trusted her that I was into yaoi and shonen ai and let me tell you the way her face went -_-

Like I knew I’d made a mistake sharing that with her the moment I said it. And then we did have a good conversation around it where she asked me what I liked about it and then she told me a little bit about how people in Japan view women like me and it boiled down to ‘will never be happy with a man’ and ‘has difficult standards’ like this was not a girl that hated BL or people that watched them but she was like hmm yeah those are generally weird girls and men usually steer clear of them and I was just like I guess yeah I am a weird girl (still in closet).

I don’t know where this misogynistic BL started as for and by straight women idea comes from - that even Jojo is peddling - but that has just NEVER been true. Women have been soft coded as lesbians and/ or otherwise sexual perverts and deviants for loving BL since the genesis of BL AND so many of them were in fact queer (I certainly was).

Making and loving BL has always been a labor of love undertaken despite the risks of being socially ostracized. But the fact that queer men try to edge queer women out of our shared history and ownership of BL is sadly not surprising to me. Just look at the sheer number of sapphics occupying the BL sphere right now and show me evidence that this is new because my lived experience has only ever proved the contrary. And yet it’s such a core part of EVERYONE’S belief in this fandom.

The idea that it is Bad and Terrible and you are a Bad Person when your stories involve real life events or are set during real life events, especially real life events that are most of a century ago, may be one of the weirdest and worst takes I have ever seen in my life.

Also ok I need to sleep but deadloch is such a good satire also. Like I’ve watched some cop shows, and holy shit it flips every aspect over. The obvious one is that it’s women leading and men getting murdered instead of the other way around, but the one I find the most interesting and most important, is that it takes the “few bad apples”, as well as the “ends justify the means” shit, and completely flips it. Like. Ok. B99 is a cop show. It’s a “progressive” cop show, that sort of tries? To have some messaging about bad policing, but it still falls into the issue of the messages being: “most cops are fine it’s just that some cops are racist! But we can just get them fired so it’s ok” and “it’s necessary for cops to break the law and do morally questionable things to solve a case, and they risk getting fired for it so it’s brave”

Meanwhile even with a progressive show like b99, it still fits into the box of what deadloch is parodying. Like the core messages of deadloch are the opposite of what I listed above. Like we have: “the system is rotten, corrupt, and the few good cops are getting pushed out because cops are actively discouraged from being good” and “the bravest thing an officer can do is follow the law and treat people with human decency”

Like idk what else to say it’s just really good. It’s a really good satire. I went in with low expectations (bc I didn’t realize it was going to be a satire) but like. Yeah It’s really really well done.
