'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

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?

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.

Whoever at GW decided that Leontus’ orders no longer have an effect on superheavies should be pelted with spanners

it’s so telling that the ultra-wealthy are suddenly so worried about violence when it’s against a ceo but couldn’t be bothered by the hundreds of school shootings that have happened over the years

Hi, I'm an artist. I love studying faces and the subtle things about them that makes them different. I draw my friends because it's easy to stare at them and memorize the different things about their faces that makes them themselves. It's fair to say I know a thing two about face structure.

I have been absolutely bombarded with posts about the UHC shooter and Luigi Mangione, and as a result I've read a lot of articles about the two. I've also read a fair amount of conspiracy theories, and I hate to join, but here I am.

These are not the same people.

Look at the noses. They are different, the shooter's is sloped upwards and Mangione's juts out before sloping down.

Look at the smile. The shooter's smile is different, his smile is turned down while the photos I found of Mangione show the opposite.

This comes along with various clues from the case itself, what with the manifesto being off, the entire situation of being in a McDonald's. with my firearms, bullshit manifesto, and illegal papers, and the jacket.

I genuinely think the Mangione didn't do it and that he is simply a scapegoat. I genuinely think that it is 100% possible that the police planted that evidence.

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.

Listen know the year just started like a day ago and I said that I would try to not rant as much this year but I hope everyone who even remotely uses the terms "Fandom police/Fanpol/Fancop" and "Acab includes fandom police" unironically in 2025 and beyond that please fuck off and block this account one time because I have a lot to say to you bitches and I would personally rather not embrace rage this year

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.
