one of the funniest news things in canada that always tickles me is the ongoing war between magic mushroom shops and the police.

this is the absolute height of humour to me right now

#tw drugs #lovingly cracking open a news paper just for the articles about dispensaries trolling the police #making drugs illegal has literally never ONCE in history worked #decriminalize it so we can stop overpaying useless cops to go on raids #offer SAFE AND CLEAN GOVERNMENT INSPECTED drugs like how we do with weed #stop the street drug deaths. tax them towards healthcare and social services and fucking UBI already #have the harder drugs harder to access along with on site support. no one WANTS to be stuck on meth #but ruining their lives in prison has helped approximately no one #jj stuff

it is funny though how kids' shows are so so so careful about death, no one's ever killed except MAYYYYBE the big bad, all those random side characters are fine, here have a quick shot of them before we leave just so you know they really did survive that 50-foot drop into a stormy sea,

and meanwhile kids' books nearly all agree that it's not an adventure until it has a body count.

#to be clear I don't mean the heroes killing people #that's frankly a separate question #but bad guys come with collateral damage #even if they're nameless extras who are never described as more than a body in the street #and quite often the friends the hero meets along the way #will not all make it to the end #edit: actually I do also mean the heroes killing people #atla being so so so careful to show random mooks surviving and having the fire nation take prisoners all the time #vs animorphs going 'yeah we kill people. yeah we've got ptsd. what of it'#vs that one vivian vande velde book I read where the protagonist is really really stressed #about creeping up on a mook with a rock to bash him on the head #bc *what if she kills him?* she's just a teenager she doesn't know how brain trauma works she doesn't want to be a killer #to be clear animorphs and this book are on the same page

i think the thing for me about edizzy is the potential of it all- we know they have history together, but we don't know what it is, how long it went on for, what it meant for them. there's endless possibilities there to explore, and any of them could be real! or not! but theres so much to explore with them and its so fun to imagine all the what-if's and could-have-beens of their relationship

#like yes!!! i love stizzy and steddyhands and rizzy and ouizzy and ALL the izzy ships!#but it always comes back to edizzy for me simply because of the ties that bind them #we see all the other relationships grow in canon and build off of that #but we KNOW theres more to edizzy that we simply dont know about and imagining all their possible pasts is so interesting to me #how did we get to where we are now? where can we go in the future? what underlies their relationship that we simply dont know?#were they married? unrequited love? mutual pining? never considered it until it was too late? divorced a dozen times over?#have they known each other since they were kids? did they meet on Hornigold's ship? did they meet after ed became blackbeard?#does izzy have a navy past? is that how they met? a brothel? the streets? a prison? a bar?#they could literally be anything!#maybe theyve only known each other two years! maybe its twenty!#we literally do not know and the possibilities are there and it CONSUMES me #i cant settle on one favourite reality for them because i just have so much fun messing around with all the different options #what will they be this week?#nyxtalks #ofmd #our flag means death #izzy hands #israel hands #edward teach #edizzy #blackhands #and im so sad canon didn't take any opportunities to explore it in s2 #like we got a few hints that they are Something; but not even a passing comment about who they really were to each other #nothing!!#im not a writer so i couldn't tell u how to do it well but. a passing comment! anything!#a moment explaining izzys loyalty to ed after everything; talking to lucius about complicated relationship and moving on; to ed face when #hes confessing or after his leg; to Ned or to Zheng or Ricky or Hornigold or anyone! anything! Ed to Fang in the boat!!#im just surprised that wasnt a path they at least tried to explore; given how much of s2 was focused around them to some degree

from the album Christopher Lee sings Devils, Rogues & other Villains: from Broadway to Bayreuth and beyond (1996)

Christopher Lee - Epiphany from Sweeney Todd

I had him! His throat was there beneath my hand. No, I had him! His throat was there and now he'll never come again.

When? Why did I wait? You told me to wait — Now he'll never come again. There's a hole in the world like a great black pit And it's filled with people who are filled with shit And the vermin of the world inhabit it. But not for long…

They all deserve to die. Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why. Because in all of the whole human race Mrs. Lovett, there are two kinds of men and only two There's the one staying put in his proper place And the one with his foot in the other one's face Look at me, Mrs Lovett, look at you.

No, we all deserve to die Even you, Mrs. Lovett, even I. Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief For the rest of us death will be a relief We all deserve to die.

And I'll never see Johanna No I'll never hug my girl to me — finished! Alright! You sir, how about a shave? Come and visit your good friend Sweeney. You sir, too sir? Welcome to the grave.

I will have vengeance. I will have salvation. Who sir, you sir? No ones in the chair, Come on! Come on! Sweeney's. waiting. I want you bleeders. You sir! Anybody! Gentlemen now don't be shy!

Not one man, no, nor ten men. Nor a hundred can assuage me. I will have you! And I will get him back even as he gloats In the meantime I'll practice on less honorable throats. And my Lucy lies in ashes And I'll never see my girl again.

But the work waits! I'm alive at last! And I'm full of joy!

#I'll be honest this isn't the best performance of the song #but that's a hilarious album with a hilarious cover #Christopher Lee #Epiphany #Sweeney Todd #prison ballads #theatre #rogues in fiction #Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

the number of female sex offenders in British jails is 6%. The number of transwoman sex offenders is 47%. Why do you think that female prisoners safety is worth less then gender affirmation of a rapist?

PAHAHAHA THIS IS THE MOST FALSE STATISTIC I’VE EVER SEEN ARE YOU 9 YEARS OLD

I feel like I don’t even need to disprove this since anyone with half a brain cell would read that and point and laugh but fine. I’ll humour you.

According to the UK government, as of March 2022 (as this is the most recent reliable study I can find on the subject) there are only 230 transgender people in prison in the UK, with 168 of those identifying as trans women. This is compared to, according to the 2021 Census for England and Wales, around 262,000 transgender people in the total English and Welsh population of 59.6 million. (I could not find a reliable statistic for Scotland since they don’t have a Census, but the estimated transgender population is thought to be 0.5%, which would add up as around 24,000 Scottish people. Finding a reliable statistic for Northern Ireland is even more impossible but the estimated amount is 0.1%, which would add up to only 1885 people as of 2019.) Of those 168 trans women, only 6 were placed in female prisons — female prisons hold around 4% of the total UK prison population, adding up to around 3150 women. So 6 out of 3150 adds up to around 0.19% of the total female prison population in the UK.

According to the same study, as well as one done the year before in September 2021 (since the statistics did not increase significantly during those 6 months), there are estimated to be around 65,000 sentenced prisoners (if you include remand the number is around 79,800) in the UK, about 14,000 of which are sentenced sex offenders. Immediate custodial sentenced sex offenders make up around 11,900 of that.

So. We don’t know exactly how many trans people, particularly trans women, are in prison specifically for sexual offences. However, even so, neither 230 nor 168 are anywhere near 47% of 11,900, 14,000, 65,000 or 79,800. In fact, just to recap and tie this all up, the maths shows that transgender people make up a measly 0.29% of the total prison population, with trans women specifically adding up to 0.21% — and only 6 of those being placed into female prisons, meaning trans women make up a microscopic 0.19% of the total female prison population in the UK. All of this adds up to an even smaller amount than the 4% of total female prisoners and even that 6% statistic you just gave me of (cis) female sex offenders in prison, anon. Funny, that. Reckon your maths needs some work, eh?

Bro thought they could just dump a completely made up statistic in my ask box and I’d just take it 💀 Clown

#Trans people are actually significantly more likely to be raped than cis people both in prison and on the streets but okay #ask #anon #long post #transmisogyny #transphobia #tw rape #prison #statistics #census #uk politics #british politics #trans rights #trans #transgender #actual feminism #feminism #intersectional feminism

Jefferson Market with the hulking Women’s House of Detention behind (now demolished for a park), 1938. From the barred, open windows, the inmates would hurl obscenities at passersby.
