it’s literally insane to me that if you steal enough televisions you can go to prison forever. like we effectively go “okay your life is less important to me than a panasonic TV”. we literally value property more than human life

ok so this post is insane right? like the concept of imprisoning someone forever because they’ve stolen TVs is really crazy right. ok now replace “televisions” and “panasonic TV” with FOOD. you can go to prison forever if you steal food to survive. if you literally are like “i’m going to starve to death if i don’t steal this food” and then get caught enough you can go to prison forever.

Prisons are inherently and ideologically unethical. Prisons exist to house society’s undesirables and create a slave labor force that is legal. The “violent offender that needs to be housed away from society” is a myth used to proliferate this concept. Criminality is a symptom of social inequity and can be solved with better social and economic infrastructure. Abolish prisons.

For those asking what the alternative would be, it would be rehabilitation centers. And for people who cannot be released, they would stay there permanently. Here’s an article about Norway’s system, which also discusses the challenges of trying such a system in the U.S. We must imagine better systems and should take inspiration from alternatives that are already working.

FOOD HUBRIS BY COUNTRY
america: believes their shitty local burger chain is a once-in-a-lifetime culinary experience because their mayo includes onion paste
canada: if your poutine tastes better than the styrofoam plate it comes on you will discover the cold rage that lies under the canadian’s polite exterior
united kingdom: despite thriving and unique fusion cuisines spreading from the UK to the rest of the world in recent decades, when asked to think of ‘british food’ the average UK citizen will start a fight over whether cold beans with a modest side of white bread is haute cuisine
france: McDo Ortolan Bunting
italy: extremely mad about american versions of italian food. blissfully ignorant of what happens in brazil
brazil: if the scientific genius applied to making cronenbergian pizzas were applied to anything else, brazilians would all be commuting to jobs on the moon. They have pizza that can feel pain
russia: obviously mayonnaise is the perfect topping for all foodstuffs, this is solved. The question is what to put on top of mayonnaise, and it might never be answered
germany: less a joke than a fact: the single most produced numbered Volkswagen part is a standardized currywurst

VOLKSWAGEN CURRYWURST IS REAL IM FLIPPING OUT

When I was a kid, my dad hated when I hung up anything on my walls. My art, band posters, movie posters, anything. Not with taxks, not with tape (it “ripped the paint off”) not with anything. At one point in 5th or 6th grade he came in my room and found me hanging up a Diary of a Wimpy Kid poster with tacos and he was like “EVERY HOLE YOU PUT IN THE WALL TAKES $10 OFF THE VALUE OF THE HOUSE.” so when I was mad at him, I’d insert tacks into the wall in places he couldn’t easily see just out of spite. Whoever owns the house now is probably wondering about it.

bro didn’t even know you could just fill holes with toothpaste 💀

I know this is about an owned house (that you should be touching up and repainting the walls of before reselling anyway???) but for ppl who are paranoid about putting holes in rental walls: don’t be.
Put up posters. Shelving if you need it. Have hanging plants. Invest in a studfinder. Spackle kits are cheap and everywhere now, or you can use white toothpaste, glue, or even soft air-dry clay to fill holes.
Scuffs and rub marks are considered normal wear and tear and landlords can’t charge you for them. Most places will have you fill holes but will have to repaint between tenants anyway, so even if the spackle doesn’t match the walls, it’s not a big deal. Check your state laws about what is considered normal wear and tear. Most states have laws covering everything from paint to flooring. For instance, in my state, carpet that is 3+ years old is considered past its normal life cycle and therefore any damage to it cannot be charged for because the landlord/management is expected to put in new carpeting.

Before any move-out, check local laws considering paint, flooring, light fixtures, appliances, etc. Landlords and management companies make BANK on people not knowing that they’re paying for paint rubs that they’re painting over anyway and carpet that has been paid for 6 times over.

Reminder: they’re never ever ever ever going to give you your security deposit back no matter what you do. have fun with life.

y'all not to doxx myself too hard but irl i have spent some time in my life in mental health recovery, and i am here to tell anyone who needs to hear it that people with multiples & schizophrenia & psychosis & BPD are fun and interesting and lovable people and my friends

i knew somebody in recovery who had a system of 12 personalities that he drew out in a nested chart for me. they did not remember each other’s experiences. and it was cool! i could talk with one alter and then catch up another alter later about what we talked about! it was fun!

i knew a girl with psychosis who heard voices in static and running water but didn’t want to get rid of them cause they never said anything distressing and they were familiar and comfortable. that’s awesome! how cool is the variance of human experience??

bringing this back for disabled pride month. invisible disabilities count too. if you don’t fuck with the mad community i don’t fuck with you

I genuinely hope American media sucks for a while! I hope the big companies keep trying to churn out shit and that it’s all embarrassing garbage! I want it to be extremely apparent to everyone how important the writers and actors are to create good media and that they deserve to be compensated appropriately!!!

I’m going to need y'all to preemptively chill out because the actor’s strike is going to mean a lot of things including shows and movies we’ve been anticipating being pushed way back, and absolutely minimal press tours for the next however long this lasts.

The effects of the writer’s strike are months down the road which made it a whole lot easier to support because as third parties we weren’t really being affected (yet), the effect of the actor’s strike is going to be immediate and we’re going to get a lot more propaganda of “these people are overpaid to begin with.”

Remember our desire for content does not supersede these people’s rights to live.

Support unions, support the strikes.
