Angry, yelly, soccer fan and socialist living in Downtown PDX. My apartment looks like a frat house that is very into fiber arts. She/her/dude, gender: queer, old enough to be your parent. Views are mine and not those of my employer, parent, or cat.

'Cringe' is "embarrassment".

Embarrassment is "Feeling self-conscious due to some event or circumstance"

Y'all. If you feel cringe, get you some self confidence! You are too awesome to be embarrassed!

If you call someone cringe, quit being a douche and go hype someone you love!

Please enjoy this dramatic queen.

I did not the blanket thusly, she arranged it herself.
A sealpoint cat has tucked herself into a blue blanket so it falls elegantly around her shoulders. She is looking pensive.

It's $15 and showing up to a meeting in Gresham to get a membership (bad news is if you went to the next meeting the and signed up the membership is still $15 but you'd owe another $15 in January)

Although the showing up to a meeting in Gresham is what's stopping me right now.....

Anyway, reminder that it was the NYC police—yes, THE COPS THEMSELVES—who distributed over a million copies of this fear mongering propaganda pamphlet in 1975 when budget cuts threatened police salaries and pensions.

They need you afraid to maintain power.

This will be the hill I die on, “porn addiction” is not real, that phrase specifically is used as a dog whistle and is backed only by pseudoscience which has been created by right wing fascist organisations with the intention to demonise minorities. It is not real, actual science proves it isn’t.

We'll give you a bit to get settled in by highlighting this year's trophy artwork by @nilahmagruder.com
Artwork by Nilah Magruder featuring a young Black knight in profile in a round, kneeling with gloved hands on the hilt of a sword surrounded by orange flames. An eclipsing sun is in the background, giving the character a purple halo.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.
FORM A CROWD STAY LOUD PROTECT EACH OTHER CODE I: ICE NEARBY BLOW QUICKLY IN A BROKEN RHYTHM: PRE-PRE-PRE! → ALERTS THE COMMUNITY THAT ICE AGENTS ARE IN THE AREA. ROGERS PARK WHISTLE PROTOCOLS WHY A WHISTLE? ON THE STREETS • A SIMPLE TOOL FOR FAST ALERTS. • LOUD. RECOGNIZABLE. IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE. • OUR VOICES ARE STRONGER TOGETHER. WHISTLES GUIDE PEOPLE TO: • FOLLOW ICE CARAVANS • CATCH UP WITH THE CROWD • ALERT NEIGHBORS TO JOIN IN NOISE = VISIBILITY. CODE 2: CODE RED BLOW THREE LONG BLASTS: PREEEE-PREEEE-PREEEE! → ICE IS DETAINING SOMEONE. FORM A CROWD, STAY LOUD. DON'T STAY SILENT. STAY NONVIOLENT. WHY IT WORKS • INSTANT ALERT SYSTEM • FASTER THAN SOCIAL MEDIA • TURNS SILENCE INTO COMMUNITY ACTION ORIGINAL FLYER CREATED BY: WHAT YOU CAN DO • WEAR YOUR WHISTLE AROUND YOUR NECK TEACH FAMILY EIGHBORS TH CODES • USE IT WHEN ICE IS SPOTTED • PROTECT EACH OTHER, ALWAYS TOGETHER, WE KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE.
