#times they're crystal clear so don't come for me lmfao

Sometimes I can’t let people stay at the shelter because they are violent or pose a threat to children not because they are not well liked or unpleasant. As a public servant I do not deny help to those who are unpleasant i deny help to people who are actively putting me or others at risk.

Then the post wasn't about you, One Of The Good Ones. stay in ur lane

#my mom worked at a womens shelter for a long time I've witnessed a lot of fucked up shit #hurrah for you being a good one but I do have to say when the power rests with people able to make those calls they're going to make calls #that kill people. maybe you dont happen to live in a deadly climate but denying someone shelter in a place like alaska is essentially #a death sentence #obviously someone posing a threat to others means you can't just lump them in with someone else but guess what there needs to be an option #peoples opinion of you should not determine wether you live or die #especially when that opinion can be filtered through lenses like 'this is a black man and therefore dangerous' so like #I watched one of my moms coworkers turn native women away because 'oh we're full tonight' and then gladly accept white women. the problem is #also a racial one. don't even get me started on vets being turned away for ptsd symptoms that ppl didn't understand and weren't dangerous #it's almost like the marginalized are marginalized further when a marginality is comorbid with others or something wow #this isn't meant to be aggressive at the anon btw I'm glad we have A Good One Put There I'm just tired of people using that as an excuse to #*out not put #dismiss systemic issues that I've witnessed personally #I mean yeah my memory's fucked up because of the system thing so sometimes my memories of being at that shelter are super fuzzy but other #times they're crystal clear so don't come for me lmfao
