....really Fucking Fed Up With The Amount Of People Ive Seen Imply Or Outright State That Anyone Advocating

....really fucking fed up with the amount of people ive seen imply or outright state that anyone advocating for police abolition has never experienced violent crime.

guess what, some of us have and for many of us a huge part of the reason we support it is because of how absolutely horrible our experiences were.

things police have done for me when ive come in contact with them

tell me that a person strangling a coworker wasn't a reason to call and then refuse help

get pissed when i called back because someone was being fucking choked and they were forced to send someone out

get pissed and accuse the staff of purposely attracting problems after we installed a sharps container to reduce the used needles we'd been dealing with for months when they saw them after we reported another assault....

which took them an hour to arrive at and then they got pissed the victim had gone with paramedics to the hospital and we hadn't somehow held the person who did it for them

harass two witnesses to an assault because the were homeless

harass me because i carry narcan and they overheard me say i used it to paramedics at an overdose

see the shelter van in a parking lot and come in to harass the shelter workers as they helped someone

and so much more

there has never been a situation where police have helped me when i experienced violence and there are a ton where they have made shit much worse.

if the police disappeared and none of the money was redirected i would be much safer, let alone if the money went to organizations and groups who actually gave a shit about people beyond using them as punching bags

who would i call if i needed help? definitely not the people who've repeatedly harassed me, refused to help when needed, and take a fucking hour to show up when someone is being beaten.

probably one of the community groups that's managed to do a significant amount more with a fraction of the budget without guns or harassing victims.

[ID: The aroace flag with black text on it that reads in all caps, "Aphobes get the fuck off my blog", with a picture of Marinette Dupain-Cheng from the show Miraculous Ladybug standing next to it, posing cutely.

The aroace flag has five stripes of orange, yellow, white, light blue, and navy blue.

Marinette has dark blue hair in pigtails, light skin, and is wearing pink capris, a white shirt with a flower on it, and a dark grey jacket with the sleeves rolled up.

End ID.]

Aphobes get blocked and reported on sight. This is your only warning.

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

Missing Pet!!!

My dog has been missing since mid-November! He was last seen in Bellbrook, Ohio. We’re not sure how he’s been gone for so long, but we’re guessing someone took him in. He’s really friendly and he loves people. He didn’t have his collar on, but he has a chip (edit: actually, I’m not sure about this one). 

Here is a picture taken shortly before he went missing:

Him after a proper hair cut:

What he looks like otherwise:
