There’s something Cronenberg-esque about these bottled bath water, jarred farts, aerosolized breath as expressions of (or perhaps pus-filled lesions due to) the flesh’s commodification. Truly, as women are stripped of bodily autonomy, they are simultaneously stripped for sellable parts

This isn’t care.
This isn’t abolition.
This is enabling violent cops.
Eunisses Hernandez sold out her unhoused constituents.
Her team ordered a sweep, knowing it would bring known sexual predator cops to harass the encampment…just like their last sweep.
No housing.
No replacement tents.
No apology.

Hernandez staffer says he ordered the CARE+ sweep
During the interaction with Ares last Thursday, Kris Rehl, an organizer with mutual aid group LA Street Care, questioned Ares about who scheduled the sweep. Ares confirmed he was the one responsible for scheduling CARE+ operations in Hernandez's office. Upon hearing that, several of the residents responded with surprise, with one seeking confirmation from Ares, asking, "You ordered this Eric?" and another person asking him, "Why?"
Even though residents are usually allowed back after a CARE+ operation, which requires that people leave the area while a cleaning operation takes place, one resident, Claire (pseudonym), told The LA Reporter she did not believe that city officials are going to let them set back up where they had been.
Members of the encampment at that location had submitted a letter to Hernandez's council office in May seeking trash pick-up, port-a-potties, brooms and cleaning supplies and needle disposal. They also demanded permanent housing and said CARE+ sweeps don't clean, but rather destroy their belongings.
As of Sunday, residents had relocated across the street to Hugo Soto-Martinez's 13th District, Rehl told The LA Reporter.

Ruba’s account was apparently suspended (typical of bluesky unfortunately) but you can still help. Donate if you can or at the very least share this chuffed link

Ruba is friends with @itsmeio.bsky.social whom I’ve shared, has social media in Gaza that predates the war and sent me a photo of her Palestinian ID.

Ruba has been volunteering at medical clinics while also trying to complete her studies. She wants to continue studying and help her family.

All ICE agents piss their pants every day. This is true. They piss so much and can’t figure out how to hold in their piss. Their mattresses have to be replaced every five weeks due to piss. They don’t shit themselves, that’s a common misconception. It’s the cops that shit themselves.

watched #otgw for the first time since it aired so I drew a bunch of fanart, here's Wirt but I'll post everyone else eventually too 🍂

#artpost

illustrations of Wirt, the main character of Over the Garden Wall. He's a lanky white teenager with brown hair and a thin face, wearing a halloween costume of a cape, suspenders and a gnome hat. Various points in the animated miniseries are reinterpreted here, including making a mixtape for his crush Sara, being annoyed by Beatrice the bluebird, and some of his expressions from dialogue that may be a bit spoilery

I might disappear for a while I’m suffering from severe, crushing depression.
I’am so so so sorry but my family is still lying in the street, in the freezing October cold.
Don’t forget them in your donations they have no one but you. Good bye

Ah yes, horror fans -- y'know, the people who famously ask "Are the FX Practical?!" about literally every movie -- definitely won't care that you're feeding them prompt-generated slop. Good call there.

Amazon's Ring is adding facial recognition to its home doorbells and security cameras for the first time.

To identify people you know, it needs to run everyone's face in sight through facial recognition.
