In honor of infamous opponent to human rights Anita Bryant finally croaking, let’s remember that time Vincent Price told her to fuck off with that homophobic bullshit in an immaculately cultured, polite way. 🫡
It is insane to me that timestamps are optional on this webbed site. A major context clue is just opt in so I’ll reblog something from four years ago and people think it’s happening right just now like babe. Enable your timestamps. Why are you stumbling through the world with one eye closed?
Genuinely timestamps unlock some of the best experiences on this website. You get to see majestically ancient shitposts still circulating, still funny, and appreciate that this shit was funny in 2014 and is funny now. And you get to see people flip their lids over nonsense that got resolved five years ago.
To anyone wondering if it’s worth it to tear down fascist posters or whatever. I spent a few months last year engaged in silent battle with another student at my school who was putting anti trans stickers up everywhere. I had it down to a system where every night I would walk the five block radius they went up in, and tear down all the ones I could reach, and use a stick to put duct tape over the others. Like, within hours of the stickers going up, I would have already purged the whole zone. I knew the basic schedule of whoever put them up based on when and where the stickers appeared. I probably could have found them in person if I’d wanted to. And I told all my classmates and friends what the stickers looked like and got them to rip them down too. And after a few months of this, the stickers slowed, and then stopped forever.
My point is, a lot of this fashy or right wing stuff is one local weirdo. And if you pay attention, and do a little light organizing with your friends, you can basically make their efforts into a giant sisyphisean exercise in misery. You control your streets!
Remember: It costs money to keep printing those stickers, but ripping them down is free.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed into law on Thursday changes to the state’s public records statute that allow law enforcement agencies to charge hundreds of dollars for body camera footage. Though such videos are central to watchdog reporting and police oversight, Ohio opted to join a handful of states that have made it easier for cops to put a steep price tag on transparency.
“Public bodies should be in the business of making it easier — not harder — for the public and the press to access important government records like body worn camera footage,” said Gunita Singh, an attorney at the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. “There’s no need to impose vast sums of money onto requesters doing their part to foster transparency and accountability.”
The service industry is like living in a parallel world, you’re busy when everyone else is free on the weekends or night time, you’re working the hardest when everyone else is resting or playing on the holidays
You see your family after everyone else is back at work, there is is no Christmas for service workers, there are no weekends, it’s time formed in the shadow of “real” life, life lived in the invert
“I’m stuck in a time loop” “I entered a parallel dimension” “body snatchers have changed everyone else’s behavior toward me” yes, understandable, we’ve all worked in retail
