some people seriously lose all empathy when it comes to the people in red states like it's either "just move! you have to move!" when shit hits the fan or "well this is what you get for voting these republicans in" like 1) i did not vote for these demons (also side note: funny how you think dems have our backs 💀), 2) marginalized communities are in danger and writing entire states off because they're supposedly majority conservative does nothing for your cause & only empowers the one's inflicting harm so don't be surprised when they come for you next once they're done with us, 3) why do you expect everyone to have the means to just pack up and leave their homes, jobs, families, etc. like where do you expect them to fucking go. i am once again asking if you guys know how the world works

#people being like 'leave indiana! it's getting bad!' like. ok let me get the car i dont own and my dwindling savings and leave everything #without even a thought of secure housing or the security of friends and family in other states #ive straight up told people this already but if i were to be on my own in an entire different state or country or w/e #i would kill myself like i am so serious i am so disordered i would not be able to handle it i would be dead either way babes #suicide

AI Generated McMansions: Indiana!

I asked the @mcmansionhell Discord chat where in these great United States our next property should be from, and the result was...

Indiana 🥳

Modernist jewel surrounded by iconic Indiana floating-trees. Dubbed The House of Seven Foyers by the local architectural community, this home is a gaping cavern of openness and midwestern hospitality. 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 7 foyer, and the rest of the 7500 sq ft…eh, that’s up to you.

Guests are greeted by a modern yet charmingly traditional foyer. A space so open and welcoming they can glimpse the entirety of the first floor, as well as some of the second!

[s p a c e s]

Kitchens on either end of the house!

The second floor foyer is bedecked in stately railings.

The House of Seven Foyers is the first home in the United States to be both a church conversion and a new construction.

Additional bedrooms:

Each full bath has a foyer of its own!

Okay so I took swimming lessons as a kid. so. not exactly an athelete, but from what I understand, the breaststroke is the one where you move with like little froggy kicks and and your head bobs out of the water with each stroke, which imo makes it also look dolphin-like. so it's the frog dolphin one

hi anon! thanks for taking the time to explain that i appreciate it <3 I did look up a video cause of your message and Yeah it really does look like a frog dolphin. honestly i can't see how it's very effective? it seems like a lot of energy and extra movement taken up for a move that isn't very speedy? but what do i know

this is in reference to this post and yeah now that I see it and based off of everyone else's vote gotta go with butterfly. alas. boobie joke you will be missed

also to mostly get off topic seeing the strokes made me really think of that disney movie the 13th year? The one were he's secretly a merman and he starts discovering it on his birthday, and goes to live with his mermaid mom in the summer or something? Very classic late 90s early 2000s dcom and actually really good, but yeah basically that but with swimmer steve suddenly discovering he's a mermaid and having a s1 byers house freakout over it, having lovely little thoughts~

#ask #anon ask #thanks again anon this was cool! <3 #also having vibey thoughts about swimmer/mermaid steve oh my gooooood #also something something indiana being a landlocked state #is steve trapped in his house/ in his pool / in a state he cant escape #does he lay awake at night / restless because in the echo of his room he hears the waves crashing on the rocks / wakes with salt on his lip #or is the lake enough? freshwater fish and man made pebbles not small / not lacking / but just right #my work

Good question:

In the United States, many jails and prisons can and will charge you money for every single night that you spend imprisoned, for the entire duration of your incarceration, as if you were being billed for staying at a hotel. Even if you are incarcerated for years. Adding up to tens of thousands of dollars. What happens when you’re released?

In response to this:

---

So.

You’re getting charged, like, ten dollars every time you even submit a request form to possibly be seen by a doctor or dentist.

You’re getting charged maybe five dollars for ten minutes on the phone.

Any time a friend or family tries to send you like five dollars so that you can buy some toothpaste or lotion, or maybe a snack from the commissary since you’re diabetic and the “meals” have left you malnourished, maybe half of that money gets taken as a “service fee” by the corporate contractor that the prison uses to manage your pre-paid debit card. So you’re already losing money every day just by being there.

What happens if you can’t pay?

In some places, after serving just a couple of years for drugs charges, almost 20 years after being released, the state can still hunt you down for over $80,000 that you “owe” as if it were a per-night room-and-board accommodations charge, like this recent highly-publicized case in Connecticut:

Excerpt:

Two decades after her release from prison, [TB] feels she is still being punished. When her mother died two years ago, the state of Connecticut put a lien on the Stamford home she and her siblings inherited. It said she owed $83,762 to cover the cost of her 2 1/2 year imprisonment for drug crimes. [...] “I’m about to be homeless,” said [TB], 58, who in March [2022] became the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging the state law that charges prisoners $249 a day for the cost of their incarceration. [...] All but two states have so-called “pay-to-stay” laws that make prisoners pay for their time behind bars [...]. Critics say it’s an unfair second penalty that hinders rehabilitation by putting former inmates in debt for life. Efforts have been underway in some places to scale back or eliminate such policies. Two states — Illinois and New Hampshire — have repealed their laws since 2019. [...] Pay-to-stay laws were put into place in many areas during the tough-on-crime era of the 1980s and ’90s, said Brittany Friedman, an assistant professor of sociology at University of Southern California who is leading a study of the practice. [...] Connecticut used to collect prison debt by attaching an automatic lien to every inmate, claiming half of any financial windfall they might receive for up to 20 years after they are released from prison [...].

Look at this:

To help her son, Cindy started depositing between $50 to $100 a week into Matthew’s account, money he could use to buy food from the prison commissary, such as packaged ramen noodles, cookies, or peanut butter and jelly to make sandwiches. Cindy said sending that money wasn’t necessarily an expense she could afford. “No one can,” she said. So far in the past month, she estimates she sent Matthew close to $300. But in reality, he only received half of that amount. The balance goes straight to the prison to pay off the $1,000 in “rent” that the prison charged Matthew for his prior incarceration. [...] A PA Post examination of six county budgets (Crawford, Dauphin, Lebanon, Lehigh, Venango and Indiana) showed that those counties’ prisons have collected more than $15 million from inmates — almost half is for daily room and board fees that are meant to cover at least a portion of the costs with housing and food. Prisoners who don’t work are still expected to pay. If they don’t, their bills are sent to collections agencies, which can report the debts to credit bureaus. [...] Between 2014 and 2017, the Indiana County Prison — which has an average inmate population of 87 people — collected nearly $3 million from its prisoners. In the past five years, Lebanon’s jail collected just over $2 million in housing and processing fees.

Pay-to-stay, the practice of charging people to pay for their own jail or prison confinement, is being enforced unfairly by using criminal, civil and administrative law, according to a new Rutgers University-New Brunswick led study. The study [...] finds that charging pay-to-stay fees is triggered by criminal justice contact but possible due to the co-opting of civil and administrative institutions, like social service agencies and state treasuries that oversee benefits, which are outside the realm of criminal justice. “A person can be charged $20 to $80 a day for their incarceration,” said author Brittany Friedman, an assistant professor of sociology and a faculty affiliate of Rutgers' criminal justice program. “That per diem rate can lead to hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees when a person gets out of prison. To recoup fees, states use civil means such as lawsuits and wage garnishment against currently and formerly incarcerated people, and regularly use administrative means such as seizing employment pensions, tax refunds and public benefits to satisfy the debt.” [...] Civil penalties are enacted on family members if the defendant cannot pay and in states such as Florida, Nevada and Idaho can occur even after the original defendant is deceased. [...]

So, to pay for your own imprisonment, states can:

-- hunt you down for decades (track you down 20 years later, charge you tens of thousands of dollars, and take your house away)

-- put a lien on your vehicle, house

-- garnish your paycheck/wages

-- seize your tax refund

-- send collections agencies after you

-- take your public assistance benefits

-- sue you in civil court

-- take money from your family even after you’re dead
