Some of you think of Cops as kind of a symbolic figure representing “telling you what to do” & you’re Posting things like “acab includes fandom discourse” and I thuink the 80% white website needs to remember the reason why we hate cops is because they kill people
We hate cops because they’re a weapon for enforcing the state’s interests through violence. Like, they kill & imprison people. The antis don’t have a Quite Literal boot on your neck please god log off or talk to a Black person or something

In this case, the way to put a nail or screw into brick is to get a specialized drill bit, meant for drilling into brick. You drill a hole larger than your nail. Then you put in a masonryanchor, which is a plastic sheath with grabby arms that fills up the hole. You can get these as a set:
(I’m not endorsing this; it’s just the first set I found.)
Then you put the nail or screw into the hole filled by the anchor. And it stays.
