Struggling To Be Heard

Sociology student, mother of 5 cats, music lover, food enthusiast, mixed Black girl, natural hair lover, genderfluid, queer, anti-capitalist and prison abolitionist. Ask if you want to know more.

Here is some info about my pronouns.

I'm here to rant, rave, repost pictures and info, dissect little and big things, bitch, moan, laugh, cry. Stuff. I love getting questions. You'll find things on black history, race in America, dissecting white supremacy, the prison industrial complex, some American politics stuff, gender and feminist issues. Pictures of all kinds of beautiful people, food, cats, and you will definitely get randomly bombarded with anime shots. I also post personal posts about my life, my emotions, and relationships, which can include lots of emotions so forewarning.

Occupy Wall Street? Egyptian riots? London looting?
NOPE.
Penn State student rioting over the firing of Joe Paterno. More photos from last night’s riots here. 

People.

I know.

look at all those white men willing to fight tooth & nail for the right to maintain power without any accountability and consequence. LOOK. and you know what? i bet none of those kids had to worry about their asses getting sent to jail.

Fact: if you want to annonymously report suspected child abuse, you can. Depending on the state, DCF investigates child abuse allegations when the suspected abuser is from outside the home. If you don’t feel like they’ve made a quick enough response, call again.
Also, are the university employees not mandated reporters? I feel like they should be mandated reporters, even at the university level because not all college students are legal adults.

At my university we’re mandated reporters BUT of course the university wants us to report to university services not to the cops. “For the good of the students” Riiiight.
I was an undergrad at the university I work at. I had situation where I had a restraining order out against a fellow student. My university was pissy at me for going to the cops, actively discouraged me from enforcing the restraining order or getting it renewed, and I was lectured by one university official for not agreeing to talk to my attacker even though the restraining order forbids contact.
ANYWAY. Fuck keeping it within the university system. Go to the god damn cops.
This is sickening. At least we know what some assholes are willing to mobilize over others.
