family lore is the best drama in the world. soap opera level stories and your parents, aunties, uncles and grandparents are just so blunt about it cause they thought you knew

#just off the top of my head: my great grandfather left his family to run to london with my great grandma's best friend #my grandma and great aunt once had a fight so bad they didn't talk for 5yrs even though they lived across the street from each other #my mom was in a student riot #apparently cousins on my grandmas side got caugt smuggling weed to the us and did time for trafficking in the 70s #my grandfather spent 2 years working in germany during which he started a workers riot and 'accidentally' went to a gay club several times #when castro came to the island cops raided and searched every house on our street bc it overlooked a hospital he was visiting #and they were concerned about assassination attempts #trash posts

is it fair to say miles and chapa would attend protests together

they'd definitely go in costume because they have a louder voice as superheroes, although it makes people nervous at first because the public initially believes they would side with the government knowing they used to work with Captain Man who was famously a very patriotic american

although it's clear the opposite is true when they get in arguments with conservatives and [while staying as peaceful as possible] [which is astonishingly difficult for chapa] they use they're abilities and voices as heroes to protect the protesters themselves, instead of attempting to shut it down with the cops like people initially believed they would

[despite the earlier point captain man is 100% on their side after they educate him] [it takes him a minute but he understands and probably uses his platform to speak up as well]

#miles doing his everloving best to keep chapa from accidentally starting a riot #its amazing because he's got a sign hes trying to hold up at the same time #he lets her fight a cop tho after they witness an unfair arrest #they'd wear flags as capes depending on the protest #danger force #dangerverse #chapa de silva #miles macklin

every season andy gets one character moment and then its never addressed ever again

#and they never do anything with it lol he's just that cop that talks to torchwood sometimes and occasionally has a Moment #s1 its the talk w gwen in end of days s2 its gwen leaving him behind in adrift s3 is taking off his police uniform and joining a riot #and in s4 its shooting someone for the first time #lb tag #character non-development. he's not allowed to change #like until i started miracle day i was dead convinced he quit the police force cos of the riot but apparently not

[reginaofdoctorwho]

watching a show from the 80s/90s and SOOOO fucki ng mad this would be controversial now. this shit sucks we went backwards

#it's quantum leap btw #for anyone who doesn't know it it's about this guy named sam beckett who ''leaps'' through time into people's bodies and changes their life #and he HAS to change it to get to the next leap #like there's one where he becomes a wimpy teenage boy whose sister is engaged to an asshole #and his buddy al (who is w him holographically) tells him she ends up murdered by him or something #and she's already being abused but the show was like 'victims DO get stuck and think they have no choice but to stay' #and basically he gets the fiancé to almost kill him in front of her (and other witnesses) so that she gets the courage to break it off #and there's one where he becomes a beauty pageant contestant whose friend (another contestant) is tricked #by the pageant photographer into taking nude photos he would later sell and she'd leave home and go missing #this dude (as a like. 5'6" woman) dangles the guy out a fucking window and threatens to drop him until he gives them the film #he's also wearing makeup and dresses and heels during the episode and at one point hair extensions #and there IS a new series now and they JUST had an episode w their leaper (named ben song) leaping as a woman #and like he was wearing the dress and heels but no makeup! where's the stewardess required lipstick?? #but also the new one is great and has a canon nonbinary character who is so fucking cool #but ALSO the original was like. actually popular and the new one is so fucking underknown #and the original had an episode about an interracial couple during race riots and was very on the side of acab #and had a line about how it didn't actually start that day #that it started with the refusals to hire because of race and when the first baby went hungry because of it and #the cops targeting people for their race and you fucking KNOW that people would be going fucking insane now about it

Hey pride month is coming up and i wanted to say that no matter what TERFs/FARTs/"Gender Critical" people say, We as trans people deserve to be able to live, and go to pride events, and speak out for our experiences. You're not erasing anyone's experience by existing as yourself.

Some other reminders: Put your and other LGBT/Queer people's safety first! Only come out/be open When/if you're ready. Some LGBT/queer people are straight some use microlabels Transgender people don't have to pass to still be trans. Pride was started by a Riot. Against Cops. You cannot be pro-cop, and celebrate pride. You can't be a Cop, and support your community.

Don't forget to look up LGBT/Queer history!

#lgbt #queer #pride #pride month #anti terf #fuck terfs #anti exclus #fuck cops #acab #no cops at pride #pride started as a riot #idk im half asleep #will repost l8er if i forgot anything

[hmds]

being autistic is kind of really funny. i can tell you all the nitty gritty of misunderstood animals, the history of certain events and holidays that are celebrated, and take up extremely difficult and precision based hobbies but if i'm in a loud or disorganized environment my brain turns off

#▿ #i'm planning on taking up bug raising and pinning :-))) #i want to start by raising a tarantula or orchid mantis since they're pretty easy but i also plan on raising goliath beetles and atlas moths #i have to start gardening as well but i know i'm gonna have difficulties with remembering what needs how much water when #plus pests!! i hate to use insecticides but i don't want my plants to be eaten #i know there are certain plants you can grow to keep pests away but then you a plant for that plant and then it snowballs #also recently i had to explain the history of stonewall to my younger sheltered friend #because she was saying things like 'it's too hot during pride' i don't see why cops shouldn't be there' stuff like that #she gets it now tho #some context for the cop part; i was reading an article where a pride event said police officers could go to pride but not in uniform #and they were upset over it because blah blah blah whatever #and she didn't understand why because she thought police had to be there to 'protect' the event goer's #so i explained the first 'pride event' being a 3 day long riot between the community and cops #and she was like 'ohhh yeah fucks cops' #anyway sorry. i'm rambling. except i'm not sorry + your mom

Fun history facts: One of the 31 people arrested at Stonewall on June 28th 1969 was American folk singer Dave Van Ronk, who was not at the Stonewall Inn at the time and was cis & straight as far as I'm aware. He'd been eating dinner at a nearby restaurant when he noticed a riot happening, said "Well I suppose I should go see what the fuss is about," stepped outside, and immediately started throwing bricks at the cops.

[taviokapudding]

Not again, damnit- my head hurts

I really hope that dream I just had during my nap wasn't a warning, prediction, or foresight again

I just spent like 15min googling to make sure so I know it hasn't happened yet, so a precaution, if you're from a native american tribe that's planning to go to DC or invited to travel by plane to DC this year

D O N T G O

I just had a horrifically graphic nightmare of a group of young adults & several older members going for an event? Dinner about climate change was the specifics I did get. The plane crashes as they're leaving due to engine failure and all 15, no, maybe 12, die.

Based off the formal wear it has to be later this year in November/December? I did keep seeing some Christmas Trees but I've never seen the decor and arrangement before - Jill has a specific style. Maybe not the White House? Maybe the crash happens over a pine like forest but I'm mixing it up. I know for sure it's winter because there is snow.

Anyways- that's all I got for specifics and unlike last time where I saw BLM protests happen a few days before they occurred and nobody got hurt, this one ends horribly. Don't trust the DC chartered private military plane.

#mun post #i need water #i woke up suddenly as the plane hit the ground and all I can hear in my head is their screams #i feel like vomiting- excuse me #i remember the last time i had to delete my tweets asking about the police attempted riot because everyone was like??? the protests happen #in a few days from now- and I was like 'oh' and then an attempted riot was started by the cops but the majority left early #the worst part is the deja vu i get when the news does cover what i dream- i thought this shit of foreaight would be gone by now #after someone tweeted through me on juneteenth and then oceangate happened- i figured Death would stick to that form of communication but #she spoke clearly 'tell them for it's not their time yet' so #migraine is gone as I hit post- fuck it's a foresight dream- why not tell me which tribe??? why?!?!

[retro-rezz-the-est]

Nah cause how tf the Kai Cenat giveaway/meet up turn into a whole ass riot before the mfer even gets there like 😭😭😭

#I’m literally coming back from it now as the cops started to clear everyone out with riot gear #Like it was on the news and everythingggg #four news choppers with the news crew on the ground with the drone in the air too like #it was a mess 😭

[insomniac-arrest]

one of my favorite anecdotes from the Stonewall riots is when the commotion first started rumbling and distracting the cops, one set of arrested people escaped the police wagon handcuffed together. The pair then walked around Greenwich village until they found someone in the S/M community for a handcuff key.

“No kink at pride.” Babe, who’s gonna unlock the handcuffs? 

#last day of pride post #a bit of a fun story #on a more cheesy note I do think it demonstrates how we all need each other

Dark sbi where Tommy accidentally kidnaps Philza, not knowing he’s a crime lord. And he swears it was an accident! He just, you know, panicked. Tommy and Tubbo were just minding their own business slapping graffiti on a building (practicing their art skills, you see) when a cop started screeching at them, apparently not an appreciator of the fine arts. And since Mrs. Innit would KILL him if he got arrested, Tommy panics and takes a hostage, shouting at the cop not to take a step further or he’ll kill the random civilian he’s ducked behind so he can’t get shot.

Meanwhile Philza isn’t entirely paying attention, and realizes there’s suddenly a small child sheltering behind him from a cop. He gives the cop the nastiest look imaginable, which causes them to back off enough that Tommy thinks his plan is working. Once the negotiations start Philza is baffled by who would have the gall to kidnap him, and so poorly at that. Frankly it’s an umbrage to face the work of an amateur.

Well, till the abductor asks his name. “…do you not know who I am.?”

Tommy squints at the guy. His suit looks kinda fancy? Is it better or worse for him if he managed to randomly capture some Wall Street schmuck? “Hell no,” he hisses. “And I don’t care. I’m a dangerous guy alright? You don’t know what I’ll do to you.”

Philza’s laugh causes the cop to advance, wagering the situation isn’t intense. But because Tubbo’s ‘Yes And’ game is a force to be reckoned with, he casually pulls out a nerf gun (painted to look real for a prank on Ranboo) and trains it on the cop. Philza is positively delighted as he realizes just how amateur his abductors are. Oh this will be a riot to watch.

With more bluffing than Tommy knew he had in him, promising the hostage 20 bucks if he pretended to go along with it, the pure manic chaos bleeding from Tubbo’s eyes and ample gun waving, and creative use of spray paint in the eyes of the chasing cops, Tommy and Tubbo somehow manage to book it. For some reason the hostage keeps up with them instead of escaping. Huh. Can you develop Stockholm syndrome that fast? Tommy would ask, but he’s panting from sprinting. And as they live in an unjust world, hostage guy isn’t even breaking a sweat despite the three piece suit.

“You’re not going to get far on foot,” Philza murmurs. As corrupt and useless as the cops are for most things in this city, he doesn’t imagine there’d actually be that much fuss over a random man being kidnapped, but he wonders what they’ll do if spooked a little more. It’s been amusing thus far. The boys bicker, then elect to force him to drive as neither have licenses. They don’t ask him to drive to their homes, instead some secondary location. Smart, albeit Philza will definitely know both addresses within the hour.

While Tommy is busy ‘threatening’ Philza about the consequences of not getting them there, Tubbo just leans over from a bag of chips he’s munching on and offers them to Phil. Tommy rounds on him, less for showing exploitable kindness to the hostage and more for eating the Doritos that were meant to be his. Philza almost chides them for revealing each other’s names, but decides it might just be easier to hand them notes at the end of this. So far they aren’t getting a passing grade in abduction. But he has to admit it’s far more entertaining than the ‘business’ meeting he was planning to attend.

(Techno, meanwhile, hasn’t heard from Philza and is going BALLISTIC trying to figure out who kidnapped him. From the police report Phil just kinda went along with it, and looked terrified after a private exchange with the abductor, which has to mean the threat is ungodly to convince the Angel of Death to submit. Techno’s about to have a panic attack imagining the unthinkable horrors happening to his best friend, and is only holding it off by doing atrocities about it. This is the THIRD secret criminal organization he’s ripped apart in the last two hours and PHILZA ISNT HERE EITHER!?)

Philza has decided he likes his kidnappers. They’re not experienced in the slightest, but they make up for it with bravado, determination, and a certain lack of rationality that is necessary in the line of business Philza is in. Yes. They’ll do nicely if given a little guidance.

It’s half an hour before either of them notice Philza is driving aimlessly and they don’t recognize the city around them at all. “Hm? Next time I don’t recommend you give the hostage control of the vehicle. I could have immediately driven to the police station.”

Tommy frowns, almost more nervous at the implication the obvious blackmail would go unused. “…why didn’t you?”

“There’s no love lost between the cops and I. And even more importantly, you amuse me. I like your…potential.” He grins at the soft click of Tommy covertly trying the handle and finding the car doors locked. “Getting out at this speed is almost always fatal, Tommy.”

Tubbo lifts the muzzle of the fake gun towards him. “Let us go right. now.”

Philza leans over, ruffling Tubbo’s hair. The teen gulps at the glimpse of the holster Philza’s jacket was hiding, sharing a wide eyed look with Tommy. “I’m not exactly scared of foam bullets, mate.” He chuckles lowly at the tension freezing both of them. “Relax. You’ll be home by dinner. After you went through all the effort of kidnapping me to avoid trouble with your parents, I don’t intend to ruin it. I like you two; you have spunk I don’t see often. After all, it takes a lot of guts to kidnap the leader of the Syndicate.”

Kind of scared about going to pride the day after roe is overturned

Still thinking about that person that had a problem with the 'Hobie would be Pro-Palestine' post because it's 'tasteless to inject functional characters into real life politics'

Cause it's like my buddy. my guy.

I don't know how to tell you this but Hobie would fucking hate Zionists. He'd fucking hate them.

We visibly see Hobie throwing glass bottles at riot police he'd obviously back Palestinian children throwing rocks at the gun-wielding tank-covered militant arm of their oppressors DUH

ALSO he'd back the dissolution of the UK for a Free Scotland and a United Ireland. He'd fucking hate monarch loyalists. Also also he thinks Margaret Thatchers grave is a toilet

Also also also he's murdered a cop by choice because they were a cop like come on man

I get it, you want to keep the conversation grounded and serious because it's based in real world traumas and atrocities.

If this was Barney or something maybe it'd be a different conversation

but it's Hobie Brown. Let's think about this please.

We're all like 'Weeeeee I'm so happy we have a real punk character now!!'

And then we start talking about real punk stuff and it's 'what nooo don't do that that's disrespectful'

Changed your mind real quick, huh? Changed lanes no blinker on. PLEASE STOP.

Are you surprised that punks are a fan of a punk character and are using him for punk agendas? That caught you off guard? THAT threw you off your game?? Come on now.

We as fans of Hobie have a RIGHT to appropriate him for leftist punk causes cause he's made in our image. We can use him however we what so long as it adheres the moral foundations of punk.

Hobies for the people.

Also if this post makes you angry

Update on May 1st protests and how the french goverment handled them?

^ The May 1st protests were pretty violent esp. in Paris; two cops were set on fire (they're ok, one has 2nd degree burns), lots of destruction in city streets, and hundreds of injured protesters. The French gov is sticking to its M.O. of denying any police violence against protesters, emphasising protesters' violence and portraying it as mindless anti-democratic savagery rather than the result of their own anti-democratic policies.

There were more people protesting in the streets on Monday than at any other May Day protest in the past 20 years (by a large margin—7 to 10x more people than usual.) And the numbers are still impressive in terms of this current social movement—there were about 1.2 million people at the first protest against the pension reform in January, 900K at one of the February protests, around 1.1M on March 7 and I think 1.2M on March 23rd... We're in May and there were 800K people in the streets on Monday (using the police's probably low estimate). The first marches earlier this year were peaceful; people started destroying shit in March after the 49.3 (=the gov not letting elected representatives vote on the reform); in the following weeks we saw a brutal escalation of police violence + suppression of just about any means of non-violent protest, which results in more violence.

The vast majority of protesters are still peaceful, but in terms of providing context for the increased violence, well—people protested peacefully, peaceful protests got banned. People banged pots and pans, pots and pans got banned and confiscated. People started a petition on the National Assembly website which got a record number of signatures, the petition was closed before its deadline and ignored. MPs asked (twice!) for a national referendum on the reform to be held, their requests were denied. Electricity unionists cut power in buildings Macron was visiting, now he travels around with a portable generator. Unions tried to distribute whistles and red cards (penalty cards) to football supporters before the French Cup finale last week, so the ones who wanted could use them if Macron showed up (he ended up hiding and greeting the footballers indoors rather than publicly on the stadium lawn); the police prefecture tried banning union members from gathering outside the stadium to distribute these items (although the ban was struck down by the judiciary as it was illegal, like most bans these days...)

Confiscating saucepans was already so absurd it felt like a gratuitous fuck you, but now they're trying to prevent the distribution of pieces of red paper. Cancelling petitions that would have had no real impact anyway. Prosecuting people for insulting Macron. Arbitrarily arresting hundreds of nonviolent protesters to intimidate them out of protesting (guess who's left then?). The French gov is systematically repressing democratic or nonviolent means of making your opinion heard, and when people get more violent they're like "This is unacceptable, don't these terrorists know there are other means of expressing dissent??" Where? This week a 77-year-old man was summoned to the police station and will be forced to take a "citizenship course" for having a banner outside his house that read "Macron fuck you" (Macron on t'emmerde). Note that he would have been arrested (like the woman who was arrested at her home and spent a night in police custody for calling Macron "garbage" on Facebook) but they decided not to only because of his age.

So that's where we're at; on Monday two cops caught on fire (well, their fireproof suit did) after protesters threw a Molotov cocktail at them. (The street medic who tried to help them with their burns ended up getting shot by a cop's riot gun a few seconds later—with French police no good deed goes unpunished!) The media talked a lot more about this incident than about the fact that the cop who got most severely injured on that day (broken vertebrae) was injured by an explosive grenade that a colleague of his meant to throw at protesters (you can see it at the end of the video below). If police with all their protective gear get so badly injured by their own weapons, no wonder the worst injuries have been on the protesters' side. (nearly 600 injured protesters on May 1st, 120 severely, according to street medics.) I'm not including images of these incidents in the video but on May 1st a protester had his hand mutilated by a police grenade + a 17 year old girl was hit in the eye by a grenade fragment, may end up losing it (during the Yellow Vests protests, Macron's first attempt at repressing a social movement, 38 protesters lost an eye or a hand).

What you see in the video: cops charging the front of a march to tear a banner off people's hands then retreating and drowning the street in tear gas when protesters throw paint bombs at them (protesters have umbrellas because of police drones); at 0:30, a journalist saying "They're not even arresting him, just kicking him when he's down—they kicked him right in the face!" then police spraying with tear gas protesters who try to fend them off; at 0:46 when a protester being arrested asks a journalist if he's filming and starts reading out loud a cop's ID number, another cop shoves the journalist and throws him to the ground; at 0:54, an Irish journalist runs away from the police tear gas grenades that you hear going off, at 01:08, the incident mentioned above when a cop drops a grenade he tried to throw, which explodes in his group, breaking another cop's vertebrae. There's a lot more I'm not including, like how CNN said "there's so much tear gas in Paris, our foreign correspondent can barely breathe", how another journalist was hit by a sting-ball grenade (he was also bludgeoned on the head so hard it broke his helmet—even though cops know the people wearing helmets are journalists...), and yet another journalist who was calling out a cop for aiming at people's heads with his riot gun (which is illegal) ended up having the guy aim the riot gun at his head from 2 metres away (getting shot with this "less lethal weapon" from that distance would be lethal.)

All of these videos are from May 1st (most of them from this account monitoring police violence.)

So yeah, nonviolent protests followed by violent police repression and bans of nonviolent means of protesting result in more violent protests. The French government responds by a) pikachu surpris, b) condemning violent protesters and praising violent police to the skies, c) continuing to ban everything they can think of. Confiscating saucepans didn't work but confiscating pieces of red paper will do the trick! Let's prosecute people for bashing or burning an effigy of Macron, because banning symbolic violence always works to prevent actual violence! And this week after the May 1st protests we learnt that the gov is thinking of making street barricades illegal, because that'll definitely solve everything. It's going to be interesting for history teachers to teach students about the 1789 revolution that allowed us to take down an absolutist regime and become a republic, under a government that banned barricades because they see them as terrorist anti-republican structures.

#ask #frpol #left-wing MPs this week asked to hold a debate in the Assembly about the repression of this social movement #the Minister of the Interior (in charge of police) didn't come but sent his delegate instead #the delegate refused to admit to any problem with law enforcement and at some point walked out as a MP was asking a question #this happened 1 day after the UN Human Rights Council condemned the French gov's violent & racist law enforcement #god there's so much infuriating shit happening every single day
