Blocking me won’t change the fact that I’m better than you.
When New York’s officers engaged in an announced slowdown in policing in late 2014 and early 2015, civilian complaints of major crime in the city dropped. And despite significant staffing shortages at law enforcement agencies around the country, if trends continue, 2023 will have the largest percentage drop in homicides in U.S. history. It’s true that such a drop would come after a two-year surge, but the fact that it would also occur after a significant reduction in law enforcement personnel suggests the surge may have been due more to the pandemic and its effects than depolicing. At the very least, the steady stream of Justice Department reports depicting rampant police abuse ought to temper the claim that policing shortages are fueling crime. It’s no coincidence that the cities we most associate with violence also have long and documented histories of police abuse. When people don’t trust law enforcement, they stop cooperating and resolve disputes in other ways. Instead of fighting to retain police officers who feel threatened by accountability and perpetuate that distrust, cities might consider just letting them leave.

Hello everyone,
Olivia @writeswrongs and I have been unemployed and looking for work. Our benefits did not come in until the end of month. It wasn’t enough to cover our expenses including rent. Olivia had a few interviews and I have seasonal employment but have been looking for gigs in the meantime.
We are a queer and trans multiracial couple living in Portland, OR with our young dog Karl Barx. We are writers, theorists, organizers and artists struggling to make ends meet.
We really hate to ask the community for help but we can’t meet our rent this month, we tried to make things work but we’re an impasse and would really appreciate any help we receive.
Rent is due by July 4th. Please share even if you can’t contribute. Thank you.

“Colonialism almost never exploits the entire country. It is content with extracting natural resources and exporting them to the metropolitan industries thereby enabling a specific sector to grow relatively wealthy, while the rest of the colony continues, or rather sinks, into underdevelopment and poverty.”
— Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth
something i think is deceptively easy to overlook in theorising biopolitics is that the state has interests both in maintaining a fit and healthy population (simply put, it needs workers, a military force, and so on) and in designating certain populations as threats to be eliminated (eg, through processes of racialisation used to justify war, slavery, and colonialism, or through eugenic policy that seeks to eliminate the ‘unfit’). these two goals—enforcing life, and creating death—are thus not at odds with one another, but occur in tandem and both play critical roles in the state’s overarching endeavour to harness biology and population management in order to ensure political dominance and profit. an explanation of state policy that exclusively invokes one or the other will never be able to capture the full dynamics of imperialism or even internal policy; always there are efforts to produce and reproduce certain bodies alongside the embrace, and subsequent political use of, the deaths of others. the state cannot be said to have interests solely in mass death or solely in health and life. it needs and uses both; the effort to biologically create and strengthen its population is a matter of managing both death and life. this is why it is possible to identify examples of coercive healthist measures (eg, anti-‘obesity’ policy and rhetoric) and examples of exterminatory and eugenic measures (eg, denial of the ongoing nature of the covid pandemic) coming from the same states at the same time. they do not contradict; they are both useful for the state, are both aimed at the same biological end, and both rely on the same set of bio-medico-political discourses determining which bodies and lives are useful and valuable.

I was gonna contact a doctor who prescribes bicaultamide but they don’t accept my insurance. This is the six month I’ve had unstable estrogen levels and I’m getting really irritated about it. The only anti androgen I’m willing to take my main doctors don’t know anything about lolsob
Anonymous asked:
I loved the worldbuilding on your RPG. Have you figured out what the base mechanics of the game are going to be like?
Not yet, I’m still figuring it out as I go. I have a vague idea of how to build a character and I know I want it to be a mixture of dialogue and combat heavy.
I’m currently working on the world map and the different countries as well as the trait and skill system.
Wanna read the setting for the class warfare RPG I’m building? It’s below:
