#caren act

Supporters of two Black ranchers who’ve faced racist retaliation from their neighbors in Colorado are calling on the state to pass the CAREN Act, a law that would make racist 911 calls a crime.

On Feb. 17, Courtney and Nicole Mallery of Colorado Springs stood in front of the state Capitol in Denver to demand lawmakers pass the new law.

For months, the Mallerys have faced sabotage on their 640-acre ranch as their White neighbors continually called the police on them for frivolous reasons. They’ve faced death threats and killing of their livestock.

When they tried to confront their neighbors, they were instead investigated by the local sheriff, who initially refused to hear their claims of racist abuse. Instead, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office arrested the Mallerys on Feb. 6 after listening to their White neighbors.

“The act of falsely accusing someone of something because of their color is disgusting to me,” Courtney Mallery told the crowd, according to 9 News. “What me and my wife have been going through, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.”

Living while Black

The couple have since gained the support of the local NAACP and the ACLU as the organizations represent them in their case and their efforts to pass the CAREN Act.

Melanin-deprived Americans were once legally entitled to wield the weapons of White privilege against innocent Black people during the Jim Crow days and earlier. It was a time when a Black person could be imprisoned or lynched simply for smiling at a White woman or for drinking from a water fountain.

No longer having the full backing of the criminal legal system, racists in the 21st Century continue to find creative ways to criminalize Black existence.

The list is long: Walking while Black, jogging while Black, banking while Black, babysitting while Black, barbecuing while Black, and even watering flowers while Black have all become hashtags after innocent Americans faced the threat of police violence for daring to live their lives in the presence of racist Whites.

Studies show the need for the CAREN Act

In 2001, sampling 215 Black folks, a study by Black psychologist Shawn Utsey, PhD, found that race-related stress negatively impacts the physical, psychological and social wellbeing of African Americans.

“Race-related stress was a significantly more powerful risk factor than stressful life events for psychological distress,” the study found.

Racism and the fear of racism also impacts the activities Black Americans choose to engage in.

Conducting a nationwide survey, Black sociologist Rashawn Ray, faculty associate of the Maryland Population Research Center, found that Black men in mostly White neighborhoods are less likely to exercise outdoors because of fears that they will be criminalized.

The CAREN Act stands for Caution Against Racially Exploitative Non-Emergencies. It’s named after the “Karen,” stereotype, which references middle-aged White women who use the police to endanger Black people and other persons of color.

San Francisco, New York and New Jersey have already passed similar versions of the CAREN Act, and the Mallerys, backed by the Rocky Mountain NAACP, are urging Colorado to follow suit.

“We need to pass the CAREN Act in the state of Colorado. I am personally going to be leading the charge with that legislation,” said Portia Prescott, president of the Rocky Mountain NAACP.

“No.”

“What do you mean, ‘no’, Assassin?”

“I mean what I said.”

Kirei should be mad. Should feel ire, should feel slighted at the fact that his Servant, a mass of mana who donned flesh and blood like a costume and was bound to him, was defying him. And yet, he feels nothing. Not even exasperation as the red-haired man before him flipped through a magecraft text sitting on the table before them.

When Kirei summoned Assassin as his Servant, he would be lying if he stated he hadn't been he had been expecting dark cloaks and a masked face, like every other Assassin from the Grail Wars recorded before. Instead, he got something… loud and garish.

Something red.

Assassin was not a typical assassin and refused to give his name.

Red clothes, red hair, red makeup, and Chinese in origin… he couldn’t place them— but he knew he was not one of the many hashashin who had come before him.

Granted, Kirie's… grasp on Chinese Assassins was lacking. He could name a few who were important to history, but there was no way this one was any of them. Too flashy, too comfortable in a modern atmosphere, and he had laughed when Kirei asked if he was the famed Jing Ke or Yan Qing.

And rather loudly at that.

Assassin was something of a mystery, despite his loud appearance and actions. The Servant was much bolder than one would think an Assassin would be, actively moving about the Tohsaka house before Tokiomi summoned the Archer Gilgamesh. So much so that Rin had asked Kirei about the “Redheaded Mister” more than once because he would help Aoi with cooking and she liked his cooking.

Again, another weird point that tied back to that ease of comfort in a more modern world. Assassin easily navigated the kitchen stove and radio— and while he knew that Servants were granted knowledge of the Modern world from the Grail, it was still odd. The familiarity wasn't that of a man who knew in the sense of having been told, but one who moved with the sense of having used one before.

Nonetheless, the fact remained that Assassin was a mystery despite how much he interacted with ease and talked to the Tohsaka family and him. Kirei would've assumed that, because of that, the Servant would have no qualms, however. It wasn't as if the man got attached— had he?

“What you’re asking of me is something that is… distasteful,” Assassin continued, seemingly unaware or perhaps uncaring that Kirei was at a loss. “I may be an Assassin but I am no idiot, though you might be."

Dark eyes met his own, reflecting the candles that adorned the walls. He was deadly serious, Kirei realized. And again, he was startled at the sheer amount of nothing he felt. He should feel annoyed, at least a little bit.

Tokiomi’s plan was already falling apart.

“Are you not my Servant?” He found himself asking and Assassin snorted, closing the book with a snap.

“You might be my Master, Kotomine Kirei, but that’s in name only. I will consider your orders, and ruminate on them, but that is all. If I act or not is my choice and mine alone,” Assassin said simply, not looking at Kirei again as he set the book down. “Feel free to use your command seals, though I can assure you, there’s only so far that will take you in this war."

#also ive never written FZero Kirei before I have no idea how he'd act in this situation but I bet he's baffled #local priest has issues regulating and feeling emotions until Chinese assassin calls him stupid more news at 12 #Li Shuwen said 'actually this is stupid and so are you' #'hey assassin kill him' 'uh nah' 'tf u mean nah' #this is a somewhat canon plot point but Li Shuwen (Lancer) can apparently resist command seals to an extent #we dont get to see how much of an extent that is in Fate/Koha Ace because Caren gets injured and thus izo broke the promise he made to Li #so Li was allowed to attack then #however he resisted Caren's order to attack despite Li Shuwen promising he would not so long as Izo and his Master promised not to harm her #fate #fgo #fate grand order #fate zero #wip #li shuwen #kirei kotomine #fgo li shuwen #fate extra #fate extella #Never Meet Your Heroes AU

AEGON TARGARYEN CUDDLING HEADCANONS - aegon targaryen x f! reader

- Aegon will literally barge into your chambers without a single care in for what you're doing. After all, Targaryens love to be the center of attention. He's caught you to many times changing, and just staying quiet until you finally realize he's there and smack his shoulder lightly with a laugh escaping your mouth which creates a synonymous reaction from the white-haired prince. He'd just walk around your room when he's truly bored, tapping the walls to annoy you, but also signal what he wanted.

- Aegon wasn't one to shy away from his wants, but for acts of affection he mostly did, he felt too dependent, desperate to ask such a representation of feelings. His whole life, he was raised to believe he was a burden, an unwilling stain not ready to move away from the silk cloth representing his untainted family. On normal days, he'd either ask you to come to his chambers or go to yours for a warm embrace. He'd just flop down onto the bed, and would bring yourself with him, feeling the soft blankets engulf you two. He would only bother to actually wear something comfortable now, considering the amount of times he had to heed your complains of him always coming with regal clothing he had not caren about to even think about taking it off.

- On days Aegon was berated by his mother, he'd come to you and would follow you everywhere while not knowing he himself was trying to gather your attention away, and keep it all for himself. He was strangely posessive over you due to the fact that you may be the only person who can truly love him. You would turn your head to see Aegon right behind you with his hands clasped behind his back, and wide eyes at being caught. You weren't stupid though, this wasn't the first time. You simply grabbed his hand, the cold feeling of his rings pressed against your skin. You led him to your chambers, and he'd already just lay under the covers of the bed.

- "What happened?" You muttered as the prince laid in your arms, eyes sleepy with a tight hold on your waist, refusing to let go. "Mother." His voice rang out with a light tremble. You looked down at him and somehow brought him closer to you. At times like this, all you wanted to do was protect him. You grabbed his face delicately and looked at him deep in the eyes, "Do - not - listen - to - her." You kissed his face anywhere with each word, forehead, cheeks, nose. He pressed a soft kiss to your neck and nuzzled his head there with a content smile. You'd never get tired of playing with his hair, so when he laid there, sometimes you'd do little braids. Soon, he'd be snoring and put his legs over yours to prevent you from leaving in his deep state of sleep.

- This is not to say, on some days Aegon is usually the one who's holding you. It gives him some type of reassurance that you love him. Why would you even want to leave his embrace? He'd reject anything about you leaving his hold. Behind his public persona, Aegon had a softer side that he only showed to you. When he was not with you, all of the expectations from his family come down on him. So instead of worrying about those thoughts, he focused on your soft, soothing touch, the gentle rumble of your voice, and the warmth of your body. It was a fleeting moment of solace in an otherwise chaotic life, but it was a moment that Aegon would always treasure. For your arms, he found the one thing he had always desired - acceptance, love, and unconditional support.

- His fingers trace the contour of your face, the tips brushing lightly against your cheeks before moving down to the tip of her nose, tapping it. He chuckles when you sneeze, the sound of it setting off a flurry of giggles between the two of you. His arms would be warm and sturdy, and he would wrap them tightly around you, lending an air of protection. You could feel breath on the back of your neck, the light touch of his fingers on your skin, the weight of his head on your chest. He pulled you closer, wrapping you in his embrace as he pressed your head against his, Together, the both of you stayed like that for what seemed like an eternity, your gentle caresses a welcome distraction from the harsh realities of Aegon's life.

Capsule Servant is a tower defense game originally released in 2014 as a minigame on the Vita port of Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. Later in 2019 it got its own release as a mobile app game. Caren turning into a baby and shilling it in the Valentine’s event is because she was a baby in CapSaba too.

Servants are contained in very Pokeball-esque gacha capsules (though I don’t think there’s any actual real money gacha mechanic, since it was originally a Vita game), and you throw them out in large numbers to play a tower defense game between two Masters. Servants will walk left/right across the screen and automatically fight when they run into each other, and the goal is to destroy the other Master’s tower.

Fun fact! This was the very first time we heard Maaya Sakamoto play Jeanne, as she appears in Rin and Shirou’s story modes. Servants in the battles don’t have voices, voice acting is only in the story scenes, so Okita, Nobu, and the non-Jeanne Apocrypha cast would need to wait until FGO to have voices.

Tired of Guda getting the bitches. It's time for Mash to get some too. Chaldea Best Girl deserves to get some pussy and/or dick and the dating scene should be rather plentiful. Bonus points if Guda is there like "You fucking go Mash, get some. Woo woo!" and they high five.

The historical Mata Hari wrote in letters that she hated sex because of her husband, and while I don't think that is canon to Fate, nor do I want it to be, I think some fluff about her and a lover respectful of that would fuck. Metaphorically, of course.

Guda having extremely sad thoughts about how he just let Olga die a second time, how nothing ever changes, there always is a new challenge, and he always loses people he loves. Romani, Da Vinci, Olga, everyone leaves and in the end they will be the last one standing, for that is the fate of Humanity's Last Master

Nobukatsu should vent about what happened between him and his sister and how even though he knows he did the right thing, it still hurts him. Preferably to a servant like kagetora. And then I want Kagetora to fuck him so hard he's absolutely rui-

BB finally pushes the Chaldea Master too far and he decides to tame that brat.

guda getting stabbed by a chaldean servant (or from a randomly summoned one, your choice) repeatedly to the point of death (they could live, i just want them to get hurt <33) or maybe them eating pussy <333

Smut: Any member of the gudako dream guard heroically stops another goddamn eldritch being from entering their dreams by fucking the horrorterror themself

What are the noble guardians of masters subconscious doing while the master is sleeping. Fending off psychic attacks constantly? Getting front row seats to the dreams guda is having? Poking around in the darkest parts of their mind? Are Dantes, Kama, Oberon and whoever else I can't think of just forced to hang out in there when nothing's happening? I want to know...

Crossover:

Fujino/Akiha of some kind (preferably not smut)

Hisui/Sakura

Kohaku/Rin

Richard the Lionheart, Saladin and Hassan of the Hundred personas vs Nrvnqsr Chaos during one of the crusades.

Heaven's Failure:

Anything with Shirouko please Heaven’s Failure has given me so much brainrot

Any fandom:

Smut: any glory hole content

Smut: Either one of the married couples getting absolutely destroyed by their wives but mostly either Ryoma and Oryou or Rama and (someday) Sita

Smut: Could we get some vore going? Perhaps Barghest swallowing down Gudako and or Mash after some passionate lovemaking?

Making a character into a doll (interpret that however you want)

Smut: Futa

Smut: Absolutely imperative I receive old man hole in some form. I'm not picky you can do li shuwen, yagyu, moriarty or whoever but I must get decrepit bussy. Pairing doesn't matter either I just need old men to he dicked down by someone anyone

Im reading Caren Gilligan's book: Ina a Different Voice. Talking about a poc mother that rather killed her daughter than to let her live in slavery. There is a great tension inside a person living in oppresive society, and the need for separation and personal power that the systemic opression is built on. So by commiting the most horrible crime of killing or rape, this person drasticaly severes themselves from the relationship with the other/loved one. The most painful part is the level of dissociation from self that takes place in order to be able to do this act. Anyways this post is about Sasuke and his wish to severe his last standing connection to Naruto by killing him, in order to seperate and gain power in society. And it's also about the level of dissociation from self that would be necessary in order to do this, and the level of emotional release, authenticity and vulnerability that comes from accepting his bond with Naruto in the end. By choosing relationship and connection over the pain and destruction of dissociation, he chose love and true morality and himself.

“The CAREN Act” KAREN é um termo pejorativo que se refere a memes que retratam um tipo específico de mulher branca, de classe média, com comportamentos racistas de quem está acostumado a privilégios e se sente superior a outras pessoas . CAREN (sigla de Caution Against Racially Exploitative Non-Emergencies) é uma lei em São Francisco para penalizar ligações à emergência (nos EUA, o “911”) feitas sem suspeita razoável de crime e com motivação racial. Karens vão além dos memes, são um fenômeno linguístico da cultura pop e da história dos EUA, e podem representar verdadeiros riscos para a vida de não-brancos. #karen #caren #thecarenact #racism #racistcouple #plasticsociety #plasticlives #humanrights ⚖️ (em American Museum of Natural History) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cestk0WOxtk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MK Ultra Grow InfoIf you plan on growing MK Ultra, it's important to know that it is a strain that can adapt to different environments, making it relatively easy to grow. One of its most notable characteristics is its resistance to common molds and fungi, making it less susceptible to diseases that could damage the crop.If you plan to grow it outdoors, it's best to choose a temperate Mediterranean climate, where it can enjoy plenty of sun and warmth. This will help it grow strong and healthy, which in turn will increase your yield. However, it is important to keep the plant protected from extreme weather conditions, such as strong winds or heavy rain.On the other hand, if you prefer to grow it indoors, you need to make sure it has enough lighting and ventilation. Correct lighting is essential because it helps the plant carry out photosynthesis, which is necessary for its growth. You can use grow lights or LED lights to provide the necessary light spectrum and intensity.MK Ultra can thrive in both soil and hydroponic environments but may require some pruning and training to keep its height under control. This is especially important if you grow it indoors, as you don't want it to get too tall and become unmanageable.By using pruning techniques, you can help the plant develop a stronger structure and direct its energy towards producing more shoots.Overall, with proper care and attention, MK Ultra can be a rewarding strain to grow.MK Ultra Strain Flowering TimeThis hybrid strain typically flowers within 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest in late September to early October when grown outdoors.MK Ultra YieldMK Ultra is not the most generous strain when it comes to yield, but it makes up for it with its quality and potency. You can expect to get around 14 ounces per square meter indoors, or 19 ounces per plant outdoors. The buds of MK Ultra are dense and sticky, with a dark green color and orange hairs. They are covered with a thick layer of resinous trichomes, which give them a frosty appearance.

MK Ultra OriginMK Ultra is a cross between OG Kush and G-13, two legendary strains that have their own stories to tell.O.G. Kush is a hybrid strain that originated from the Hindu Kush mountains and is known for its earthy, piney, and citrusy flavors.

Empire of light

Summary: back in the 80s we see the trials and tribulations of the employees of a film theatre, but especially those of a couple of marginalised people, as a mirror of wider societal issues. Nicely done but some things feel implausible.

Musings without plot spoilers:

The film takes us to a coastal resort at a time when going to the cinema mattered, the characters are all misfits or marginalised for a variety of reasons and even within that small group there is one character even more marginalised and even abused.

The topics are far ranging: mental illness, racism and xenophobia, parent-children relationships, sexual abuse and some others only glimpsed. The cast, lead by Olivia Colman, Toby Jones and Colin Firth is a who is who of British acting and they deliver their characters with the credibility and professionalism we have got used to expect, this is complemented by the powerful dignified presence of Micheal (no mistake, it is Micheal) Ward who is somebody to watch in the future, hopefully this well delivered role will open new doors for him.

Colman plays a troubled woman doing all kind of odd jobs in the theatre, her character suffers of mental illness and this colours her interactions with everybody else and makes her own life very challenging, Firth plays her boss, trying to make ends meet in the business, who strikes luck when the premiere of "Chariots of Fire" is scheduled on his theater, he plays an anodyne man who has very shameful skeletons on his closet which will eventually lead to trouble, Toby Jones plays the projectionist of the theatre, a lonely man that loves film but has regrets of his own and Ward plays a handsome young man of Black descent who is stuck working in the cinema while hoping to enter university.

All these characters are well developed and their relationships feel meaningful (not necessarily positive) but the relationship at the core of the film seems contrived and highly implausible, and the more implausible thing is that nobody notices that it is going on, although the characters know of other things intended to remain hidden but, shamefully, don't talk about it.

The film is dripping with nostalgia about the 80s: old fashioned grand cinemas, film attendance as a special occasion and a lazy relaxed atmosphere that hides social issues boiling under the pleasant sun.

Spoilerstatisc plot:

The film starts on Christmas Eve, we see an old fashioned cinema where Hilary (Colman) is busy doing a bit bit of everything while it snows outside, the cinema closes, colleagues leave.

Next day Hilary wakes up alone, has breakfast with wine on the side, she seems lonely, later on she gets a doctor visit about matters that will become later in the film and later on we see her dancing alone in a quite sorry lonely fashion.

It seems that work at the cinema is a better place for her to be until this perception is put into question when her boss, Ellis, calls a meeting, they stay alone and she starts to masturbate him, but this isn't a torrid romance, later on during a chance encounter at a restaurant we see Ellis with his wife and HIlary evading them like the plague and going back home in a deep state of depression.

Later on back at the cinema Hilary shows the ropes to a newcomer, Stephen, he is a young black man taking the job while he waits if he is accepted in university, Hilary shows him parts of the cinema that are dilapidated and Stephen shows his caren human side by nursing some pigeon chicks which he hands to Hilary, a gestures that starts their friendship.

There are several incidents that show the difficulties of the crew dealing with clients but how they soldier on regardless and how they bond as a team, specially HIlary, Stephen and Jeannine, a goth girl slaos a bit of an outsider.

Their luck seems to change when it is announced that they will premiere Chariots of FIre and Ellis is hoping such event may help turn the decline of the cinema.

Hilary and Stephen receive the new year in the roof of the cinema amongst optimism and fireworks and she kisses him and runs away, after that and some talking, they start to go out together a but this is abruptly punctuated by a nasty racist attack suffered by Stephen witnessed by Hilary in the distance.

Back in the cinema Ellis asks Hilary on his office but she refuses, everybody knows what is going on and are silently on her side (the situation is worse than the abuse of power as such, this is fully brought to light later).

Stephen notices she is down and suggests to go up to the derelict part of the cinema to free the pigeon they have been nurturing, once there now he kisses her and they make love (I found this part little credible given the age difference and how this contradicts the caring nature of Stephen that surely would have notice that not everything was fine with Hilary).

There are several developments that make their lives a misery, first of all is the premier of Chariots of Fire, it goes according to plan but somehow Hilary ends having to give a speech where she exposes Ennis for his exploitative behaviour, made all the worse because Hillary was placed in the cinema after recovering from severe mental illness, also a mob of skinheads in a motorbike cavalcade notices Stephen inside the cinema and give him a beating that sends him to hospital, while there Hilary visits without knowing that the nurse caring for Stephen is his own mother, who is puzzled by Hilary's visit, also Stephen reconnects with a girlfriend and start to go out together,

After Hilary's speech she stops going to the cinema, Stephen goes looking for her and after much begging he is left out in the flat just to be interrupted by a police backed social services ride since Hilary has relapsed and is forced to go into mental health care, Stephen sees all this while hiding in the flat unable to do anything and unwilling (fearful?) to intervene.

The film jumps to the summer and in a beautiful day Stephen and Hilary meet by chance in the park, he has been accepted in university and is getting ready to leave the area, she is better and back to the cinema (Ellis now gone, transferred somewhere else) and she can work again.

I found the film very interesting but the central relationship is contrived, this somehow distracts from everything else, I found implausible that a woman so severely mentally ill and a black man in such a racist environment would hook up together with the connivance of their colleagues, I don't know how this could have been improved, at the end perhaps there was too much material to go through but the relationship that supports the whole film fails to convince.

Rating: 3.5/5

All things considered it's very cool gameplay/lore wise that Angra Mainyu acts as a support while on the same team as Caren.

#his passive debuff activates off field and it procs Caren's debuff Atk boost

[pryotra]

All right I'm literally just played through the opening acts, and Caren is hilarious.
