I know I’ve been begging a lot lately. But I’m seriously in need still.
Let me begin by introducing myself. I’m allyson Marie, I’m 24 years old and I live alone in subsidized housing. I suffer from many mental and physical illnesses (Ehlers-Danlos, systemic lupus, chronic pulmonary embolisms/ pulmonary fibrosis/ asthma, epilepsy, narcolepsy, POTS/ dysotnomiaNOS, chronic pain from many sources, anorexia purging subtype, ADHD, autism seminonverbal, BPD, OCD/ OCPD, and schizoaffective disorder)
Because of these illnesses I cannot work or leave my house much, I am on disability and make very little every month. Simmalarly to last month I am very far overdrawn in my bank account (-$270) and I have no food and can’t refil my medications. Rent always come first so that I won’t be sick and homeless. But now I have no money and no sustanence.
If you are able and willing to help, I would really apriciate it
Ways you can help:
• send me food by ordering me take out somewhere local to me, and have it delivered to my house.
• donate money to me to help get me out of the negative.
• have a grocery service deliver me groceries.
If you cannot help, I completely understand, but just sharing this post gets me out to people who may be able to.
Also, I’m in Europe and ngl, had no idea this was even an article up for debate let alone it being fucking passed.
Don’t panic! This was expected at this stage and it is only the beginning. If you are a European and feel passionate about this, please keep on reading and help!
So what has happened so far … the Commission has drafted up a long overdue copyright reform. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/procedure/EN/2016_280 It contains a lot of good, and some bad: mainly Article 11 and 13.
This was put forward as a whole to the European Parlament, where it was voted down on the 5th of July 2018
This meant, this will not go through the fast way, and will be subject to scrutiny and change.
The Commission made some alterations https://eur-lex.europa.eu/procedure/EN/2016_280 and put it forward again. If Parlament would have voted it down again, it probably would have meant back to the drawing board, but most people (including me) agree that Europe does need copyright reform, so on the second vote it passed the first step:
So what happens now?
This will now go into what is called the Trilogue, where Commission, Parlament and representatives of all national governments will sit together to make alterations until everybody is happy implementing the regulation.
This means we can now influence this via our MEPs and our National Government!
In countries that are red your government is likely to support Article 13.
What to do now?
There are a lot of organisations that organise actions against article 13. Check out their websites and get in touch with your MEP or local government and let them know you are unhappy about this.
… and many many more, just google to find one in your country.
Also, as @asthesea-breezehitsmylungs pointed out, a lot of people are not aware of this going on. So make them aware! Share the memes and point them to the petitions. And don’t just complain how shit this is, get in touch with your politicians!
“A white off-duty police officer who lived in Unit 1378 — directly below Mr. Jean — claimed that she mistakenly entered the wrong apartment after returning home from her 14-hour shift and believed Mr. Jean, who is black, was an intruder. Officer Amber R. Guyger, 30, fired her service weapon twice, striking him once in the torso.”
“The officer told investigators the door was slightly ajar and then fully opened when she inserted her computerized chip key; lawyers for Mr. Jean’s family said the door was closed. Officer Guyger said in court documents that when she opened the door, the apartment was dark and she saw a silhouette of someone she thought was a burglar. She said she shouted commands that were ignored. Neighbors, however, have told lawyers for Mr. Jean’s relatives that they heard someone banging on the door and shouting, “Let me in!” and “Open up!” before gunshots rang out. They said they then heard a man, presumably Mr. Jean, say, “Oh my God, why did you do that?””
“Mr. Jean’s relatives, lawyers and supporters all say it would have been difficult for the officer to have mistaken Mr. Jean’s door: It had a large, bright-red, semicircular doormat, lying on a bare concrete floor. Officer Guyger had none. Would she not have noticed?”
“Officials said she had with her a police vest, duty bag and lunchbox — items she might be expected to carry to her own front door, not someone else’s.”
“charging the officer not with murder but with the lesser charge of manslaughter. They also want to know why she was not immediately arrested at the scene, but was allowed to go free until she was officially charged three days later. They are demanding that Officer Guyger, who remains on paid administrative leave, be fired.”
(in my limited law knowledge: texas stand your ground/self defense laws do not protect guyger here because she did not ‘have the right to be present’ and was in fact intruding on personal property (there should be a breaking and entering charge (does not require use of force to be charged)), even if she allegedly did not intend to. in general similar protection are unlikely to apply since she was the aggressor in either allegded version of events. in general, in the officers version there is still on or the other or both (1) intent to seriously injure or kill (2) extreme and reckless disregard for life, making it second degree murder. in the witnesses version of its premeditated first degree murder)
“… State Senator Royce West, a Democrat who is African-American and whose district includes the South Side Flats. “The question is whether or not she saw a black man and then decided to shoot. Regardless of whether or not he was in the right place or not, her first impulse appeared to be that she was going to fire her weapon.””
sat through a lecture on paleolithic and neolithic culture and society and all i can think abt is how from as early as there have been anatomically modern humans (and even before in some cases) there is archaelogical evidence of gender and sexual variance, caring for the elderly and disabled, a drive to make art and music, a powerful affection for animals and each other, and a desire to learn as much as possible about the world as we can and yet people will still insist these things are not human nature and therefore unnatural, that the things we consider to be essentially human in nature are very recent in the span of our history or felt by only a rare few and not something integral to our humanity and success as a collective whole.
the more we study and analyse history the more we learn what it means to be human, all the good and all the bad, the closer we come to understanding that many things people have considered to be weaknesses of character, illnesses of the person, or meaningless in the face of our mortality are functionally necessary to our humanity and cannot be erased or ignored
Oh, that’s lovely! It’s what a baby would see riding on its mother’s back!
I’m curious about how this was taken, and how it was that the next photograph in the series wasn’t “Pastel Darklord Beats the Shit Out of Photographer”.
