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.

What the a actual fuck.

For reference, Scotland has a legal obligation to provide emergency temporary accommodation for someone homeless, typically hotel rooms. They're being denied this accomodation and shipped off to as far as Newcastle to make room for FUCKING TOURISTS THERE TO SEE SWIFT.

I say this as someone who works at a nonprofit: the attitude “someone who has nothing will be grateful for anything” is harmful and dehumanizing when it’s used to justify donating something ripped, stained, or expired to someone less fortunate.

Homeless people deserve clothing with good structural integrity. Victims of house fires deserve linens that are free of stains. No one should have to eat expired food. It’s disrespectful to give people scraps when they’re already hurting.

Please, out of respect for your fellow humans, check the dates on your food donations before you drop them off.

i have one month left before i am kicked out of my house, and i need help to avoid homelessness

hey yall! its me again. if you havent seen these posts before (unlikely, theyve been circulating pretty well) im delilah, and im a queer autistic plural tgirl currently living in an abusive household in texas. on june 1st 2024, i will be kicked out, and i need to be able to get a place before that so that i can avoid homelessness. my previous goal was 2000, and we hit that! but after applying for. a lot of apartments. we have been rejected from a good few of the cheap options and im going to need a bit more money to make sure i can survive the moving out process. i know youve probably seen these posts a lot, but we're reaching the final stretch, and hopefully soon i wont have to worry about this anymore.

we're going to try to get around 3000, but maybe, hopefully, we can make around 3500 to absolutely make sure moving out is possible. thank you to everyone that has donated (ESPECIALLY PUNKITT AND THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONATED LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY, I GENUINELY LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH YOU ARE THE KINDEST PEOPLE ON THIS WORLD)

2106/3500

C*SH*PP - @delilahswagga

MY PAYPAL IS NO LONGER WORKING, DM IF YOU WANT TO HELP AND CANT USE CASHAPP

IF YOU SEE THIS POST AFTER JUNE 2024, DO NOT REBLOG IT. I DONT WANT PEOPLE SENDING ME UNDESERVED MONEY AFTER THIS IS ALL OVER

One thing I don't think I've ever seen talked about is how post-apocalypse ideation is largely about homelessness.

Homelessness looms large in the American consciousness. Like, not that it's irrelevant elsewhere, but it's got a particular cultural place in the US that's reflected in Hollywood, and therefore relevant because what makes it into film and TV sets the terms of so many conversations.

We don't acknowledge it if we can help it, but I think most people know they're never more than a few very bad months from winding up there.

Even people who are sure it only happens to people who deserve it, who fuck up and put one foot in the morass of their own foolish volition. Even they know the quicksand is there, waiting to be walked into, and that the odds are stacked against ever climbing out on your own once you have. And that they, too, are capable of fucking up. Of trusting the wrong person. Of getting cancer incorrectly.

And those of us who know damn well we can't be sure we're safe even if we do everything right, we know it even better.

And in that sense it doesn't matter what the world would realistically look like after X kind of apocalypse, what people would do, how society would adapt. Because the anxiety that's being processed is about the reality that's in existence now.

About what if my world ends. And I lose access to the fruits of developed society, to clean clothes and new glasses and running water, to a safe place to sleep where I don't expect to be killed or robbed, or driven out by men with guns and dogs. To my home and work and family and everything I usually use to tell me who I am.

What if every man's hand is against me, and every meal is a small victory, and there's only my own dwindling strength between me and the long night?

Will I make it? Will I hold up under the strain? Will I retain my dignity? Will I be lucky? Will I be able to protect the people I love, in that world, the world where no one is protecting us anymore?

Is there a way to continue to live as a human person, when you're denied the prerogatives of one, and don't know if you'll ever get them back?

Putting this anxiety into the context of a massive apocalypse divorces this scenario from the burden of shame tied up in the idea of winding up in that sort of situation in the normal course of events, by having society vanish rather than expel you, personally, as a washout, and continue on around you.

It also allows you to rule out a priori the question of what resources might be offered but can't in an anticipatory context be counted on; shelters and programs and housed friends and family who may or may not help. And narrow the narrative to only the question of what you can survive, and often a fairy tale about surviving all of it and starting over.

Rehearsing for a loss in a mythologized format is a very normal anxiety processing behavior, and I think a lot of apocalypse scenario building is attached to the buried dread of that personal apocalypse. But I haven't seen that one make the list.
