Imagine a world where medical diagnostics specialists and disability services assessors were advocates instead of gatekeepers. Imagine their target being to make sure nobody who needs help slips through the cracks and doesn’t get it, rather than to make sure nobody who’s trying to “scam the system” slips through the cracks and does.
Adam Ant | c. 1981

Ant designed of all his own costumes, indebted to historical, military and tribal dress, working with stylists and costumiers. In this instance he worked with David Charles Whiteing and Yvonne Swinden. This costume is perhaps the most widely known of all, having been used for the publicity photographs and promotional video for the single, Prince Charming, and later on tour. There are two shirts, two pairs of breeches, two wigs and two scarves, not identical but in similar styles, all worn in different combinations on tour. The gold and black striped shirt and the dark silver leather breeches were worn for the publicity photographs and in the video.

So the feds caught that guy who was mailing nail bombs to Democrats. To nobody’s surprise, dude is an old white MAGA chud. Who woulda thought.
Our prediction is that, pretty soon, outlets like InfoWars and other right-populist media are gonna “”“uncover”“” some “”“proof”“” that this guy is some kinda secret liberal somehow, and Trump et al will start toasting marshmallows over that smoldering Reichstag
Here’s your boy’s panel van. These aren’t collages of individual stickers, they’re custom-printed vinyl sheets. I *think* he *might* be, uh, emotionally invested.
Local news channels here in Jacksonville have been covering this on Facebook. All the Trumpflakes all over our fair state are calling it fake. It’s fun to read. Their biggest claim is that it’s obviously fake because the stickers are too fresh.
Even better, in its coverage Fox news is censoring the stickers
“The stickers are too new for this to be real.” Dude’s only been politically relevant for two years. Do you think Trumpsters are time travelers or something?
Ben Shapiro is trying to do damage control in a typical fashion of these fucks:
So, all of that “““proof”“““ has been surfacing all day, and some of the right-opportunist rags’ more fun and zany claims include:
1. The stickers on the van are brand new, they’re not even covered in dirt 2.
He only attacked Democrats; any Republican would have been smart enough
to throw in a few conservative targets to throw off the trail 3.
He was a lifelong registered Democrat, they have a screenshot that says
so, but minutes after he was arrested, the Democrats hacked into the
voter registration and changed his records to falsely say he’s been
registered as a Republican since he was 18
He’s not white he’s Native American.
All of the coverage I’ve heard said he has a weird obsession with claiming Seminole heritage but everyone who knows him says he’s making it up for attention and Seminole leaders have even chimed in to say they have no record of the dude on their books.
hey so i have no idea how money works and im already out from the donations i received (because i spent it on frivolous things like eating) and i’m not doing well considering the news cycle’s brutal slamming of trans people in every fucking direction so if you wouldn’t mind donating to my venmo this trans lesbian would really appreciate it. im not setting a goal this time just because i’ll still need the money until i get paid regardless so. just whatever you can give i don’t care. i have other things to worry about and i’d appreciate not having to consider overdrafting for a 4 for $4 from wendy’s.
It’s sad that toxic game culture is so prevalent cuz like. As someone who has ended up in random matches with kids before, I can attest to how fucking easy it is to reverse and un-teach shitty attitudes in kids.
Example: I downloaded Friday the 13th because it’s free on psn. I dunno how to play, so I just enter quick play and I’m matched with 3-4 kids on mic. Immediately on mic they’re shitty and disparaging to each other. They laugh at each others deaths, they actively work against team mates and self sabotage, they call each other “fags”, etc. From the sounds of the voices they cannot be older than 13-14.
I put on my mic and just decide I ain’t havin it. I am nice. I thank them for barricading doors or leaving me items. When they break free from Jason’s grasp I say “good job!” or I try to help them. One kid survived for most of the match by himself. When he dies, I tell him he did a fantastic job.
The mood shift is practically INSTANT. These kids almost immediately stop being dick heads. They start encouraging each other and being kind. After the match all of them try to friend request me. Which should tell you a couple of things:
A) kids want to be kind, and they want to have a nice time playing games. But encounters with adults like me or so rare that they’ve trained themselves to instantly put on a toxic, shitty, defensive veneer when encountering any new person online. It’s literally just THAT EASY to not groom a horrible gaming community, it’s just that NO ONE does it.
B) the speed of which they all tried to friend me was cute, but paints for me such a sad picture? Like these kids are SO desperate to find people to play with who aren’t crappy jerks. They played with me for 10 minutes TOPS and all instantly tried to reach out to me.
tl;dr: The kids are alright. Adults are shit heads.
I cant agree with this post more
The thing. The thing about kids. The thing about kids is that they learn a) very quickly and b) CONSTANTLY. Their brains are super flexible and they don’t have decades of experience – the latter meaning they have both fewer preconceptions and less perspective. It makes them both extremely vulnerable and extremely adaptable, and if you, An Adult, deliberately or carelessly use this to encourage them to think the world is a nasty, cynical place…well, then, that’s a self ful-fuckin’-filling prophecy, innit?
Because that kid, in the short term, is gonna feel bad, and they’re a person, and making people feel bad cos you can’t be bothered not to is Evil. And that kid, in the long term, has that much more likelihood of being nasty and cynical, and passing that on to other people, and so on and so forth.
Be good to kids, whether you like them or not, both because it is the right thing to do, and because it will cut down on the number of assholes you have to put up with when you’re old.
