Cead Mile Failt!

@angeldust-and-fandommusings

He/they 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ My name's Mich, I'm 27, and I come from Canada (which is sometimes cool, but then it snows). I reblog basically anything that tickles my fancy that I think other people would enjoy as well. I don't own any of the stuff I post on here, unless I say I do specifically in the comment. Feel free to ask me anything, and I hope you enjoy! P.s; Cead Mile Failt is a Gaelic for a hundred thousand welcomes! Also my header looks way better on mobile.

but no yeah lets have the conversation:

"the CEO doesnt want to run that kind of website" Excuse, shouldnt have bought the 'go nuts show nuts whatever' website if thats the case. APPEAL DENIED

"we have to follow the TOS of the appstores we're hosted on" Excuse item one, no you dont, item two, you have since those days implimented infrastructure that would allow pornography and sex work on this platform Without violating TOS of any applicable app store. APPEAL DENIED

"we own the site we get to make the rules" Incorrect, this site has only ever made profit when the users willed it. we collectively own the site as a hive mind and no legal change in ownership will change that. APPEAL DENIED

"we have to keep this website safe for the children who use it" Argument based on fallacy banning pornography and sex workers does not prevent pornography and sex work from occuring on the site, it only forces aforementioned users to hide and avoid labling their content appropriately, which REDUCES the safety for children and sex workers alike instead of increasing it, this has been shown to the point that making this argument at all is tantamount to admiting fascist intent APPEAL DENIED

Reblog it. I want this to be on Tumblr radar by end of the week, i want my notes to be useless from the discourse, i want every single person on Tumblr to have seen this post at some point

Been over a week since OP posted this but I can certainly do my part to continue to render their notes useless.

I would also like to add to the last argument that "safe for children" is a nonsense argument on a site that is still rife with violent racism, transphobia, Antisemitism and general white supremacy. Idk about you, but personally I think kids are far more likely to become traumatized by reading or seeing graphic depictions of how adults in the world want them dead simply for existing, than by stumbling over an uncensored cock or cunt.

We are all, at any given moment, about 5 seconds away from permanent disability.

I was driving my car to work. I am a good driver. I have no at-fault accidents in my history. I was hit by a drowsy driver that was later charged with DWI and I still ended up with permanent disability from this.

I stood up from a chair. I was sitting at a table in my work’s break room eating my lunch and stood to throw away my trash and clock in and my knee buckled underneath me and I spent three months completely non-weight-bearing on that leg and even still today there are things I can’t do anymore due to this.

It doesn’t matter if you eat right, sleep right, drive right, work right, only have sex with the right people, only purchase the right things.

Anything can happen to you. You are always 5 seconds away from becoming disabled for the rest of your life.

I have always been disabled. I haven’t always been this disabled.

I think it is the funniest thing they always eat the edge first and the middle after that. All of my guinea pigs do this or did this. And I seriously mean all of them. How funny is that? 😂

I wonder if it is something they copy from each other. Or do your guinea pigs (or other pets) do this as well? 🫢👇

A real thing that happened is me as a teenager.

I had what turned out to be a dangerous walking pneumonia, for a week, but the manager at Burger King wouldn’t let me off.  My breathing was very loud and ragged.  I was coughing on and breathing on the food.

I wasn’t allowed to leave.  I was told if i called out, I was fired.

So Im shuffling around wheezing loudly swaying with my high fever as I work drive thru by myself, and a paramedic walked in to order dinner.

He goes ballistic, My friends.  He demands to see the Manager.  he chews him out at the top of his lungs so the whole restaurant can here.  Guys working the back came up to watch.  Customers staring and thinking hard about the infectious food they were eating.  Dude losing his shit about how infectious I was and all the people management had been endangering for days judging from my breathing and I needed to be home on antibiotics RIGHT NOW and the health Department was going to hear about this.

I went home.  i got the week off.  Didn’t even need a doctor’s note.

Getting friends management doesn’t know to do this WOULD WORK.

Same manager not letting me take my influenza home a year later  despite repeated vomiting?  Threw up in front of customers.  Customers demanded money back and started threatening the manager with lawsuits.

I got to go home and got time off until I stopped vomitting.

GO AHEAD and THROW UP in front of Customers.  THEY will Complain.

Don’t be shy.  

They are supposed to let you stay home when you are sick.  Stop protecting management. (Hiding how sick you are protects management).  They are abusing you.  Let them reap what they sow.

(Rogue and Druid are back from a cliffdiving session and have met back up with the rest of the party)

Rogue: Fighter, have you ever been cliffdiving?

Fighter: No, but it sounds fun. It sounds pretty scary too, actually.

Druid: I almost died. Twice.

Fighter: …

Druid: I also met a turtle!

The Indian Child Welfare Act.

Youve hopefully been hearing about how the supreme court will hear the case of Brackeen v Haaland where the validity of ICWA will be decided on November 9th.

Here is a helpful breakdown on why it's so important.

(this includes food, healthcare, and our sovereign rights)

.

As a native who didn't qualify for tribal protections because of tribal blood quantum laws, when I was separated from my family I wasnt placed with natives. I was placed with homophobic white christians. I'm nearly 30 now and still trying to reconnect with the culture and family I was cut off from.

ICWA fucking matters. We need to protect it. Kids need their family, they need their people. And right now they need you too.

Hi y'all.

Update.

House Bill 317, which has received strong public support in its committee hearings, comes as the federal ICWA is under threat.
The federal Supreme Court in July will issue a ruling on a case that challenges ICWA’s constitutionality.
At least 10 other states have codified ICWA into state law, including, most recently, Wyoming. Every tribe in Montana also passed a resolution that supports codifying ICWA into state law.
Brought by Rep. Jonathan Windy Boy, D-Box Elder, HB 317 commits the state to prevent, when possible, out-of-home placements for Native children that are inconsistent with the rights of their parents and the interest of tribes. It prioritizes placements that preserve and honor a child’s tribal culture and connections.

What we need, like with LGBT rights and autonomy laws, is for ICWA to be codified on a federal level.

What natives need right now is for Everyone to loudly support ICWA, natives, and native sovereignty. Post about it, share cute graphics saying you stand with us, make posters, whatever.

Let us and more importantly, our colonizer politicians, know that you support us and will Not stand for this to be struck down.

Please don't let this end like Roe v Wade, please
