sorry himejoshi tumblr but this person using their yuri manga to spell out the kanji for yuri is living like one hundred years in the future

People sad about missing yuri day: depending on your time zone, you may not have! Yuri Day is June 25. Be sure to celebrate by (! main quest) reading yuri and (! side quest) kissing a girl

And who enforces this? Is it just a few bad apples, or is it all cops?

How hard is it for them to find cops willing to enforce this? Do they have to sift through hundreds of heroic cops who refuse until they find the one cop who's monstrous enough to enforce this, or do they easily find cops willing to enforce this because monstrous cops are everywhere and being a monster is part of the job?

"All cops are bad" is not a stereotype. It's literally a requirement for the job that every single one knew about.

Long before acab trended I was told “there’s no such thing as a good cop” by a farmer in my hometown. He explained that a cop has to either enforce bad laws or selectively apply the law according to their own judgment. They could either be bad at their job or a bad person, but it had to be at least one.

Pre-law school I worked for a courthouse and was still of the (head up your own ass) opinion that individual bad cops could be replaced by cops who wanted to do good and if enough good cops joined they could outnumber the bad while we work to fix a “broken” system.

Two experiences that forever shifted my outlook are this:

1. I had the opportunity to go on ride-alongs with the sheriffs department. Those deputies turned on sirens to scare people walking down the street. One catcalled a woman crossing the street holding what I assume was her boyfriend’s hand. These cops were assholes, and it dramatically lessened my opinion of them as people but I still chalked it up to these individuals and not their jobs, until we went with writ services to serve an eviction notice.

I was terrified about what escalation could occur with such assholes handling it, and was relieved the person wasn’t home and the notice was taped to the door. But I knew even then that it wasn’t just escalation I was afraid of, it was having to look that person in the eye while the cops taped a probably life-destroying piece of paper on their door.

2. A trans woman had been attacked in the county jail and a picket protest was planned for outside the front doors of the jail. I knew the risks of attending while working at the courthouse down the street but obviously drawing attention to heinous abuse was more important than maintaining good relationships at work, and surely the decent cops and court officials would respect my choice to side with justice.

And then I saw them. While a group of us stood in work clothes with little paper signs chanting about injustice, the cops were decked out in riot gear, waiting to beat our asses. We hadn’t blocked a road. We didn’t have bricks. No one was in bloc—most of us had our faces out as recognizable colleagues—and still they were prepared to beat us senseless for demanding an end to mistreatment in a “justice” building. I met eyes with people I knew and liked yet they, in that moment, were indistinguishable from the ones I hated.

Yes of course the cops who “abuse” their power and harass people are vile, but at the end of the day, the friendly cop I ate lunch with showed up to kick my head in. The cops who have ice cream with the neighborhood drag people crying from their homes. The cops who do community charity work fall in line behind the “bad” cops. They beat protesters, they attack homeless camps, they destroy donated food and water, and they will do it all to you even while calling you a friend because they were ordered to, because it’s their job.

If every bad cop was replaced by my lunch buddy, absolutely nothing about the role of police would change.

ACAB means all.

Hi it’s spaceboytoy/spxceboytoy/spaceboitoi/space whatever other bullshit, for pride @staff and tumblr CEO Matt Mullenweg @photomatt (who is too much of a pussy to allow himself to be @‘ed) decided they should delete me twice on made up reports of sexual harassment because I’m an outspoken trans woman and you can’t have that on this website. You can have Nazis and Zionists and terfs and racists but a trans woman is a step too far. If you could reblog this so I could find my mutuals and also because I’m petty and if I said what I really think should happen to the moderation team and photomatt they’d call the fbi on me so this will have to suffice, that would be much appreciated. Happy pride to the queerest place on the internet!

i sit in a room blindfolded. scientists hold up cards with various characters without telling me what the character is or indicating that the card exists, and i respond with "smash" or "pass". my answers are used to write a program in pure binary which ends up compiling into a perfect copy of team fortress 2

Alright, I think I like tumblr now.

A pun post crossed my dash, and I reblogged it with an equally bad pun in return. A couple of my followers find it funny, it's a good day for everyone.

That was on July 7th.

Virality on Reddit was entirely algorithmic. You could garner a couple crossposts, but the success of a post was entirely dependent on whether or not it hit r/all--the main page of Reddit. If your post does that, it's immediately exposed to 10x the number of people and immediately gets upvoted.

On my pun post, I get a couple reblogs. And those reblogs get a couple reblogs--nobody really adds any content to the post, it just gets a couple reblogs here and there.

There's a specific chain of reblogs that I'd like to focus on. The most popular post on this chain has about 25 reblogs on it. Half the posts have three reblogs or fewer. Five posts in this chain have just one reblog total.

But the reblog chain keeps going. And going. It breaches containment many times over. And finally, after a chain THIRTY SIX posts long, at 9:30 AM, July 22nd this morning, it hits a popular account.

99% percent of the people who have seen the post--virtually unchanged from how it left my dash--have seen it because it was curated by 36 different people. That's insane to me.

None of those 36 people know that they're part of this chain. They saw a post, reblogged it, and moved on. If any one of these people had not reblogged, the post would have a fraction of the impact it has.

And yet, after two weeks, the post has effectively hit the main page of tumblr. It was picked up, only because people liked it enough to show it to their followers. There were no algorithms necessary.

You really, truly, cannot get this on any other website.
