vegas is a horror, i wandered the strip and a couple resorts with 😩 on my face the whole time, surrounded by cig smoke and clanging and some sort of luxury axe body spray that they are trying to tell me is a very expensive hotel diffuser. but this room has the biggest tub i've been in in years so

he was begging for help for hours, saying he was going to commit suicide, but instead of following protocol to get him mental health support, "an officer eventually closed the metal slide over [his] cell door window so he could no longer see out" and all the other COs let him die.

if you are an abolitionist, you should be against the sex offender registry. this is not a pro-rapist position, it is an abolitionist position. this is not "defending rapists," it is a clear-eyed understanding of our carceral system.

They're also almost always about women and queer people in left-leaning spaces, which says whom we reflexively think of as toxic or annoying. I guarantee some fantasy football league is falling apart over some petty asshole, but he doesn't become a symbol for the annoying left. He can just be Jeff.

Even if having comfort dogs in schools is a good idea, why are these programs being run by police instead of actual mental-health professionals? Every idea for improving mental health is turned into a scam to funnel money into police departments.
