Notice how they target teenage girls because they are afraid of grown women.
but it’s feminazi paranoia to be wary of being around men… it’s generalizing men unfairly… #notallincels…
how fucking sadistic
“harmless psychological fun” – this is chilling. He’s recommending that other men terrorize girls for fun, and calling it harmless. What is this world.
“Harmless”.
This is why YesAllMen, guys. A girl or woman can never be sure which man is gonna pull this kind of shit.
She had “no reason to be frightened”? A strange man asked her name and then started stalking her. Fuck you she had no reason to be afraid you narcissistic sociopath.
Calida, 35, is a Chicago-based sex worker who has depended on
websites that host classified ads, such as Craigslist and Backpage.com,
to meet and screen clients. But the US government’s recent crackdown
on those platforms has abruptly eliminated many workers’ primary source
of income, forcing some to turn to the streets or to rely on abusive
pimps, greatly increasing the risk of violence.
“Girls are going back to the streets and they are going to die in the
streets, and nobody cares,” said Calida, a mother of two, who said she
used to do street work and fears she will have to start again to make
ends meet. “Everybody is terrified.”
Congress recently passed legislation with bipartisan support that purports to combat online sex trafficking
by making websites criminally liable for users’ content. But some say
the Online Sex Trafficking Act (Fosta) and Stop Enabling Sex Trafficking
Act (Sesta) will have the opposite effect. Critics argue that the
legislation broadly censors
online speech, takes income away from people who engage in consensual
sex work, and helps traffickers get away with crimes by pushing the
industry underground.
Sex worker rights groups have long argued that initiatives targeting
child trafficking end up hurting the most marginalized workers by
broadly criminalizing the industry. That includes queer and transgender
people, the homeless and others who have been excluded from traditional
employment. Defenders of Backpage and Craigslist say those sites gave
workers control over their jobs and allowed people to detect and report
traffickers.
Kristen DiAngelo, executive director of the Sex Workers Outreach
Project of Sacramento, said her phone had been ringing off the hook
since the seizure of Backpage: “The fear is astronomical.”
One
woman told her she was forced to return to an abusive client due to the
lost income, she said. Others have resorted to taking on “managers” who
have leverage over the women and their income and could exploit them,
she added. “Very easily, you can lose control of your own life.”
“This bill is creating an actual market for pimps,” Calida said,
adding: “People don’t know if they are going to be able to pay rent …
how they are going to afford food.”
For seven decades, “never forget” has been a rallying cry of the Holocaust remembrance movement.
But a survey released Thursday,
on Holocaust Remembrance Day, found that many adults lack basic
knowledge of what happened — and this lack of knowledge is more
pronounced among millennials, whom the survey defined as people ages 18
to 34.
Thirty-one percent of Americans, and 41 percent of millenials, believe that 2 million or fewer Jews were killed in the Holocaust; the actual number is around six million. 41% of Americans, and 66% of millenials, cannot say what Auschwitz was. And 52% of Americans wrongly think that Hitler came to power through force.
Really look at that last part. The majority of Americans think Hitler came to power through force…because they don’t want to recognize how close our current political climate is to what happened then. They don’t want to believe they’ve elected anyone dangerous.
So y’all need a reminder on what the word “agenda” is?
Putting even more police officers in schools will only feed the school-to-prison pipeline. And needlessly endanger, arrest and criminalize innocent black and brown students, destroy their futures in the process, and in essence, help to maintain a permanent underclass.
“Today it is perfectly legal to discriminate against criminals in nearly all the ways in which it was once legal to discriminate against African Americans. Once you’re labeled a felon, the old forms of discrimination – employment discrimination, housing discrimination, denial of the right to vote, exclusion from jury service – are suddenly legal.“ – Michelle Alexander
Make no mistake: The true agenda here is not “school safety.” The real goals are to, 1. Keep the for-profit, prison industrial complex supplied with cheap prison laborers, and, 2. Disenfranchise the next generation of black and non-white voters, who will face additional hurdles to finding employment, rental housing, home loans, student loans, public food assistance, and most importantly, voting — all because they will now have a ~criminal~ record for minor school infractions.
“The officer who fired the fatal shots at the 16-year-old, however, was cleared of all charges by a grand jury.”

There is absolutely no justice in this. First of all why is he being tried as an adult?
basically the reasoning behind this bs is that he was an accessory to murder because he was involved in the robbery, which “caused” the officer to have to fire his gun. laiketh was offered 25 years if he plead guilty, 65 if he took it to trial. (long sentences like this are basically used to scare people into pleading guilty.) he decided to fight (because, you know, he didn’t actually shoot anyone) but he lost. it’s so sad and stupid.
Fun fact: the guys at our college’s geology department prop out the doors with their samples. I totally understand why but as someone whose work with samples is necessarily super delicate and sterile it fucks me up so bad
lol idk if you watch nautilus live at all but watching them process bio & geo samples side by side evokes exactly this Thing (the descriptions are gold too… “here are the 30 steps we use to preserve bio samples, and as for rocks, well, we let them dry, bag them, & put them in the Rock Box)
Good to know there’s enough Biologist Salt™ to go around
Paleontologists occupy a weird and highly uncomfortable slice of this Venn Diagram
in my own experience with geology most precautions with samples are to preserve the life and safety of the geologist, most of the rocks are fine.
i am continually reminded of one of my colleagues, who wanted to collect a sample of gypsum on a field excursion but was too lazy to take off his backpack and get his rock hammer. so he said “eh, it’s soft enough” just fucking punched the rock until a piece fell off like it was fucking minecraft
