DCFS
The system is broken. My DCFS worker visited today because she got another report. She said “Grace I got another report. It’s Saturday but I had to come out because you told the same stuff about your mom that you always tell. Do you keep telling because you want me to visit you? I like you but you don’t have to keep telling the same things your mom does so that I’ll visit.”
WHAT.
I really thought I misheard her. I did not. And to be clear, I had pictures and bruises and texts to backup what I told the doctors yesterday. My mom is bad and getting worse because she KNOWS no one will do anything to her. I immediately dialed CB’s number and she ripped into the social worker as kindly as any angry lawyer could. The social worker tried to spin it as if she just meant she gets a lot of reports. CB knew better. So in true CB fashion, she said (on speaker) definitely directed toward the social worker:
“Well, Grace, ms. ______ gets paid to come out even if it’s on a Saturday and ms. ______ is required by law to make a visit when she gets a report whether she likes it or not and whether it is the first report or the hundredth report because MAYBE if ms._______ does her job, she will eventually get information that can substantiate a removal and a protective order. Right, ms. _____? I sincerely hope you wouldn’t be discouraging Grace from reporting any information whatsoever no matter how many reports have been made and no matter how many times it might require you to come out on a Saturday. Are you aware of exactly how long it has taken Grace to trust people and to come forward with information? I would hope you wouldn’t risk the chance of destroying progress that all of us have worked hard for. And I also want to add that if you spent more than the mandatory 5 minutes with Grace you would notice the deficits. Major deficits. Yes she has a drivers license and yes she can read and write. She’s not in a vegetative state. It is a spectrum. I can spend an hour with her and recognize that my 8 year old has skills and comprehension that Grace doesn’t have. But in some areas she is incredibly bright and gifted. So your mandatory welfare check is for nothing unless you take the time to get to know her rather than glance at the surface.”
The social worker froze. And then TRIED to recover but CB was already way too mad.
So…in case anyone was wondering, the system is broken. And when they get tired of doing their job, they just…stop. No matter how many reports they get. No matter the risk of danger.
The system silences victims and we suffer because of it.
The system is broken.

The prince and his Physician. A role-reversal au based on a dream I had that I wanted to draw something for. More ramblings under the cut
In this au, there is a kingdom of men where the briar valley once stood. Silver, the heir to this kingdom, has been the only member of the royal family for centuries, the result of a curse that causes him to die before he's old enough to ascend to the throne and reincarnate days after his passing. Silver's immortality was once a symbols for the kingdom's permanence, but the repeated death of their monarch every two decades or so has left the citizens with perpetual, generational sorrow with seemingly no solution as no one besides Silver was alive when the curse was placed.
A few centuries after Silver was born and it was believed the last full-blooded fae in briar valley had either abandoned the land or died, a draconian fae child is found in the brambles. This fae, given the name Malleus, was brought to the kingdom at the request if the prince and raised as part of the royal court with the express purpose of becoming the royal physician/chemist. It is believed that Silver's curse, as everlasting as it seems, was placed on him by a fae with extreme magical prowess and if anyone has a chance of breaking it, it's another fae. The kingdom believes that Malleus will be able to break the death curse and allow Silver to become their immortal king.
However, Silver has other plans for his chemist. From an early age, Silver requested that Malleus use his talents to find a different kind of solution to his curse that he can never tell anyone. He wants Malleus to find a way to stop his reincarnations entirely and let him unburden his people with the monarchy. Whether to fulfill the request of the kingdom he calls home, or the prince that took him in is in Malleus' hands.

10 Easy Facts About Unarmed Security Guard: What Is It? and How to Become One? Shown
A leading top priority for anyone operating a company is the protection of both the building and its employees. For everyone various other than specialists, there's no such factor as a safety deposit under the lease. In March 2016, one out of every twenty flats and five out of every six houses in Downtown Las Vegas leased out on-site safety. Of those four establishments, this amount was a plain 20. The large number of the surveillance deposits helped make up much less than $150,000 each on normal.

They may not be certified firearms because they are terrified of private fatalities, but armed surveillance protections possess to be outfitted with military training like that required for military weapons officers, so that the only functional use for them is to get rid of government laborers. Other typical items can be found such as batons or pepper sprays which are non-lethal. When a player takes down a critter that is hostile to gamer, this are going to give them possibility to fire a ranged tool at that critter, but the gamer only has to place themselves at the critter's grace.

This is a typical agreement setting, and it doesn't also certify for your minimum wage. Some of the most popular are: Commercial buildings Residential buildings Hotels Retail business Building and construction websites Institutions & additional. When speaking regarding how to pick a urban area based on what you want, I choose to refer to how these things all match with each other.

You’ll locate armed surveillance at areas where the threat for unlawful act is much higher. This has to be a leading priority for our areas," said Tom Campbell, corporate director of the Community Security Network at United States National Guardsmen National Police Council (USNPOL). The first measure, Campbell pointed out, was to find out if additional people were going to be included in the armed break-in, at that point send safety to guarantee it was the 1st opportunity that armed folks got into an office.

Finally found a moment to work on FFPS. Heres a little excerpt
“Fenton.”
Both Dannies turned around. “Which one?” Tucker asked.
“Daniel.”
The Dannies looked at each other. “Which one?” they said in unison.
Damian was clearly getting frustrated. His face scrunched up and his voice tone was clearly annoyed, “How do you usually differentiate yourselves?”
The Dannies started listing off names as they counted on their fingers.
“Danny-with-a-Y,”
“Dani-with-a-I,”
“Boy-Danny,”
“Girl-Danny,”
“Him,”
“Her,”
“The tall one,”
“The shorter one,”
“The older one,”
“The younger one.”
Damian remained frustrated, “I am not calling either of you either of those names.”
“Well, we both respond to ‘Dannie’ or ‘Fenton’.”
“But that does not resolve the issue.”
Dani tilted her head, “Why do you not want to call us ‘Dannie’?”
“‘Dannie’ is a nickname, which would imply we have a closer relationship than we have.”
“What if you called one of them ‘Fenton’ and the other ‘Daniel’?” Steph suggested.
“Fair warning,” Tucker spoke up, “neither of them like to be called ‘Daniel’. Like they really don’t like it.”
“But that is their name, why would I call them anything else?” Damian looked genuinely confused.
“Call me by a name I don’t like and I’ll call you by a name you don’t like.”
“Ditto.”
Damian crossed his arms, “I insist you allow me to call at least one of you ‘Daniel’.”
Danny crossed his arms to mirror Damian, “Alright, Ian.”
Steph tried to smother her laughter. Damian was outraged. Tim had never seen his face that red before. Damian opened and shut his mouth a few times in shock before he found his words, “That is not my name.”
“Sure thing, Dames.” Danny was grinning.
Damian stood up, “I demand you call me by my proper name!”
“Hmmm… maybe we should call him ‘Dami’ instead?” Dani suggests.
“No!”
“How about ‘Day’?”
“No. ‘Amy’?”
“‘Dameron’?”
“You’ve started a war you cannot win,” Tucker sighed and slumped in his seat.
“‘Day-Way’? Because ‘day’ in Damian and the ‘way’ in Wayne.”
“Day-Way, Daway, D-Way- no. Dwight.”
Steph was howling with laughter now.

Companies nowadays are getting SO comfortable asking for our social security numbers.
Like why tf does Optimum need my social to install wifi? They're just an internet provider, they don't need my social. I don't care that the last people living at my location didn't pay their bill, there are a dozen other ways to prove that I'm not them without me handing over my social.
Anyway, hot tip, legally you can refuse to give your social security in unnecessary cases like this. If a company needs to prove that you are who you say you are, they have alternative ways to do so.

I’m gonna need to come up with a name for this AU eventually
But consider: The Creature Power Belt
Aka the precursor to the power suit and original prototype of the vest. It only provides the most prominent creature powers and is wayyy more prone to malfunctions.
Of course Aviva would never give Chris her old unstable technology…. Which is why he took it without asking

yeah, sorry, I can't come in to work today. yeah, I've got to think about how the tv adaptation of the last of us expertly made you comfortable with joel's violence through making you care about ellie enough it all feels justified so that by the time he gets to the hospital, you're genuinely conflicted about the carnage he enacts, some of which may not have been strictly necessary at the level of brutality he carries it out. yeah, it's gonna be all day

so then do we think that the gallifreyan writing on some of the more intricate collars has meaning too? would be very fun if the guards and soldiers’ armour had characters believed to have protective significance, or if scientists and engineers wore their lofty ideals of innovation and ethics

nonbinary helsknight is so funny to me. i think that welsknight was their trans awakening not in a gender envy way but in a “whatever gender this guy is i am Not that one” way
CANON
Helsknight popped into the world and said, "You know what? No, actually." His first decision for himself was gender, his next decision was to fight Wels, the rest is history--

collars of the colony
Tumblr media
members of the colony werent always naked and bare in their prides regard. most of them used to wear reminders of their housekeepers and people, like the common housecat. it was normal to wear these reminders, like a tag, so others knew where you belonged.
not everyone agreed with these reminders, however. cats like jax and zooble felt annoyed by these restraints. jax wore none at all, as even the thought of being confined to such a small place made him seeth with rage. he loved his people, sure, but the idea of a grounding tag like this was too much. zooble on the other hand, tolerated such restraining reminders in the guise of their people, tossing it away when they werent. they knew they were smart. their housekeepers were the type to allow their presence to be outside the boundaries of their home. zooble knew they were lucky for this opportunity, and used it sparingly.
other cats on the other hand held onto their reminders longer than the average cat. cats like kaufmo and queenie felt that without such a reminder, the memory of their people would fade away into nothing. and how could such a cat let this happen? without housekeepers like theirs, theyd truly be nothing but more feed for speeding cars upon the darkpaths. theyd been given food, a home, and love. to throw away such a reminder was like throwing away a piece of themself.
of course, when it due time, queenie was the only one who couldnt seem to bare the burden of finally letting go. kaufmo eventually finally gave in, but he vowed to never let his memories of his people fade away. his vow and queenie's denial however, was not enough to save them from the dangers that demanded change, and dangers that soon lie ahead.

Me: i need to set up chp3!
Me: writes a scene for chp4 instead
------------------------------------------------------
Danny popped the cap on his cup, "We're a tourist hotspot if you can believe it."
Jason took a sip of his drink and leaned back against the counter as they got in line, "Really? Where are you from?"
"Amity Park. Ever heard of us?"
"That place all those paranormal youtubers dream on going?" Jason had heard of it before, usually in the context of 'this place is more cursed than Amity'.
"Yep. Home sweet home."
"Is it actually haunted?" It probably was. If aliens and magic exist, ghosts aren't really a big leap. Hell, Jason's pretty sure he qualified as a zombie.
"Oh yeah. We're also the most radioactive town in North America. Get a geiger counter within ten feet of me and it'll go off," the woman in front of them gave Danny the side eye as she took a big step forward.
Being that radioactive couldn't be healthy. Surely he's not contaminated enough to set off any of the detectors in the bat-designed suits? If he did, Tim would have a field day.
"Your hometown is both haunted and radioactive? How?"
Danny shrugged, "Something about ley lines and a leak. My parents explained it a few times when we first moved there but I didn't really pay attention."
