I want to say something more about this.

Way back in 2007, the clerks were in fact counseled on confidentiality and ethical canons. Roberts gave us a little speech and was like "you are bound to not speak about this by all legal ethical canons."

Yeah the conclusion I came to was that neither of us was happier as a result of our interactions, so it was better for everyone concerned to prevent them. I felt bad and guilty about it, but then decided that it was the last time I'd feel bad and guilty as a result of them so that was fine.

โ€œHavenโ€™t we all met terrible peopleโ€ yeah sure but we havenโ€™t associated with them for years after finding out how terrible they were and then lied about it until the DOJ releases a stack of PDFs.

Took my nosy ass to clearsky and went "ah".

I think they mean well but every interaction we had left me feeling really bad.

Yes. She resorted to simply sitting on me all cozy and sweet, and then beating the hell out of my nightshirt.

there are many giveaways in this image that indicate it's not genuine, but my favorite one is the lady wearing a santa hat in february

A more detailed explanation cuz I feel the need to:

I need about 150 before midnight tomorrow (the 3rd) or I'll be late on rent, the rest is for groceries and gas. As much as i would love to not need financial help, I physically can't handle working more than one job. I'm sorry, and thank you.

Filming ICE
TIPS FOR FILMING ICE
Because footage is only useful if it's usable.
1.    START RECORDING IMMEDIATELYโ€จDon't wait for the "right" moment.โ€จLivestream especially when encounters are tense, chaotic, or abusive. Live footage is harder to seize, edit, or dispute.
2.    HOLD YOUR PHONE HORIZONTALLYโ€จLandscape captures more of the scene
- vehicles, agents, bystanders. Better for later review by attorneys, journalists, and investigators. Recording > perfect framing.
1.    USE THE HIGHEST RESOLUTION AVAILABLEโ€จHigh resolution helps with: Badge numbers, vehicle markings, facial recognition. If storage is limited, prioritize short, clear clips over long blurry ones.
2.    FILM ACTIONS, NOT VULNERABLE PEOPLE Focus on:Agents' behavior, use of force, vehicles, license plates, agency markings

* 5. NARRATE BASIC FACTS CALMLY
* Say out loud: Date and time, location, what you are witnessing. Calm narration strengthens credibility.
* 6. KEEP A SAFE, LEGAL DISTANCE
* Do not interfere physically. Do not cross police lines. Film from public spaces where you're lawfully allowed to be. You have the right to record ICE in public.
* 7. STABILIZE THE SHOT
* Two hands if possible. Brace against a wall, car, or pole. Avoid rapid zooming or whipping the camera around. Clear footage beats dramatic footage.
* 8. BACK UP AND SHARE AFTER
* Save the video to your device. Upload copies to more than one platform. Share with trusted community groups, journalists, and legal orgs.
If ICE is present: record immediately, landscape if possible, high resolution, narrate calmly, don't expose detainees.

Yep when i found a better pic i was able to determine that, tho it's a recreation of a Thierry Mugler that used actual piercings.

But yeah DEFINITELY glue and power mesh. I've gound better pics since I first saw it.

Interestingly, hers is not the most bonkers look i've seen tonight.

Acts more like a liquid than a solid and I thought this evoked the neoclassical vibe of that quite well. Like I wasn't envisioning her on a horse but above a lintel, you know?

I actually don't think that was the intention. Nude dresses have been popular for a long time and tho they evolve, the commonality is to look less clothed than you actually are. I read something earlier that she likes Mugler.

And then there's the goddess drapery effect wherein fabric...

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

The past day or so has been putting in great effort to let me know that we're through the hard parts.

Practically speaking I know that February in Iowa is some bullshit.

Spiritually, I accept this.

I don't usually notice Imbolc happening the way i do the other pagan holidays to be honest but this one is happening quite loudly. The world around me is much more awake than it was. The chickadees have been yelling. There's an owl. The sun came out. The moon came out.

I'm sure they're purposefully putting sick kids in there and giving them no access to medical attention to kill them. This is the eugenics nazi shit no one is willing to fathom. Can't keep paying for this. Sorry man you gotta put the brakes on everything. We can't allow our tax money to go to this

Two plumbers have now refused. I can't face more rejection by strangers so just in case there is any chance in hell it's the clutter, I'm decluttering.

Acorn does not understand why i won't run the tub for her.

Two cats on a drafting table where they should not be. The torbie is asleep and the tux is caught mid scratch and looks quite silly.
