Acab because the people that made this meme thinks the cops should just kill someone like this

Cops having a chuckle because they’re too cowardly to take a beating in order to save a life. All cops are cowards.

[ ID: meme image of two cops laughing, which reads:

Watching the social workers try to “de-escalate” the “unarmed” 6'3", 280 pound, buck naked psycho who is covered in his own shit and swinging around a metal pole.

next is a screenshot of a reply by Catherine, which reads:

One of my social worker friends posted this response to this meme and I think it’s important to pass it along:

This is what I get paid to do and yes, some days I end up pinned to the wall by my neck, pulled to the ground by my pony tail, threatened with a shiv, or take a rock to the back… but you know who is alive at the end of the day? Everyone. Because we have trauma informed care, safe utilization of psychiatric restraint techniques which prohibits ALL horizontal (or “side lying”) restraint, padded blocking shields to allow someone to work out their energy in a safe way or to get staff close enough to remove the pipe in this case, and when necessary physician/psychiatry ordered and medically supervised use of medication for deescalation, which is also then taken to a review board post use.  All incidents which require ANY form of restraint are reviewed, any video is analyzed and from which we learn, grow and retrain staff as necessary.

This “psycho” probably needs a shower, a snack, and then a nap or maybe someone to talk to about whatever triggered this episode. Possibly a full review of his medication and its efficacy.

Or maybe he was a black kid with autism in Austin, TX, whose group home didn’t pick up his meds and give them to him for a week so he was having a meltdown, going door to door trying to find someone to help him, and he gets shot to death by an armed homeowner. #jaredjames #blm #blackautisticlivesmatter

Fuck whoever made this meme and fuck you if you think it’s funny. Mental health isn’t a fucking joke, asshole. /ID ]

one of the worst irl debuffs is "something in the kitchen smells weird but you cant find it". you have to just do the rituals and hope for the best (taking out the trash, boiling water down the sink, look for lost potatoes etc)

Your parents are not "narcissists". They're typical authoritarian assholes who treat you like their property because society allows them to.

Your ex boyfriend is not a "narcissist". He's a typical misogynistic douchebag who treats women like shit because society allows him to.

Your boss is not a "narcissist". They're a typical classist dipshit who thinks workers' entire purpose in life is to generate profit because society allows them to.

And even if they happen to be a "narcissist", that's not what gave them the power to get away with abuse.

So stop blaming mental illness and start blaming society's normalization of abuse. Stop acting like someone has to have a mental illness in order to do something cruel when ordinary people have been doing atrocious things since forever.

Pathologizing abuse, whether it’s in the home or the workplace, whether it’s physical or emotional or sexual, stops us from being able to recognize the hegemonic structures that make abuse so universal. It is not aberrant, it is completely normal, and that should spur you to action

"you need to let it go" that would be really cool, unfortunately I'll take it with me to the grave

eleventh plague. emails. 

Pharoah, I hope this email finds you letting my people go

being alive is so inherently humiliating i need to get over it. it's like being mad about breathing oxygen girl it's gonna happen anyway

[ID: a painting of outerspace with pink all caps text overlaid reading “‘I just want to go home’ said the astronaut. ‘So come home,’ said ground control. ‘So come home,’ said a voice from the stars.” The font of the dialogue of the voice from the stars is different from the font of the rest.

it's dawned on me that no one can stop me from my childhood dream of having a bed tent

i could at last fulfill my deep-rooted need to be Enclosed

this barbie contracts dysentery on the oregon trail

These appeal to my need for creature comforts

I am a Creature and I want to crawl into a little Cave and Snooze or perhaps Hibernate

Box beds used to be a thing! We need to bring them back.

Like IKEA wouldn't be so ready to flatpack this shit.
