oh I see. it was the crime of wanting. that's why I deserve it.

does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver

Worlds of Ursula K. Le Guin (2018), dir. Arwen Curry

i need everyone to know that community is what will save us all in every single way imaginable. you forming a bond with your neighbour or coworker might help them move house or feel less alone or have the courage to leave an unhealthy living environment. you helping a stranger might provide them with hope. in turn, being able to lean on your community in times of need will save you. your broader bonds with your community are the revolution we need. our society seeks to divide and separate us in so many ways but we are all so much more united in our struggles and joys than you are made to believe. we need to hold onto each other very tightly.

Context: This is a grocery store in the town of Black Mountain, NC, which was devastated by Hurricane Helene. The police will not let anyone in to get food or clean water or even baby formula and diapers, not even if they have cash to pay. This is being framed as "stopping looters". This is apparently the best thing the cops have to do with their time, during a widespread emergency.

The store has no power - the food will rot anyway.

Looting is an EXTREMELY decisive issue in Emergency Management. Mostly because no one can actually agree on what looting IS, as evidenced above.

I'll be very interested in what the long term opinions on "looting" in Helene end up being.

Y'all I wanna clarify something here, since I haven't seen anyone pointing fingers.

This wasn't just a nameless grocery store. This was an Ingles. And reportedly, Walmart did the same.

Meanwhile, Publix opened its doors to the community on the honor system. Take what you need. Pay for what you can. And remember us in the future.

I haven't seen any news outlets mention these stores by name. Stop protecting companies that won't protect people. Say their names. Spread the word. And don't forget.

prime example of the true purpose of cops, to protect capital and not people

dating apps are slim pickings. these people will never be my tumblr mutuals.

i fear i will be ripped open and found unsightly.

you are not a wasteland you just need ibuprofen and a hot bath and a shower and a nutritious meal and some water and some fresh air and to do something productive and to do something creative and to do something that takes physical exertion and to do something social

Tumblr is a fate driven website. You can't find posts through the search function, you see them when you're meant to.
