in the contemporary world, the most fundamental human right - and, it often seems, the least protected one - is "being both Allowed and Able to go Somewhere Else." the rest is commentary.

the torments of prison are predicated on Not Letting You Leave. the most terrifying and degrading aspects of childhood are predicated on Not Letting You Leave. misogynists wail and moan and fearmonger about divorce and equal opportunity employment because they Allow Wife To Leave. borders and immigration restrictions exist, in no small part, to Prevent People From Leaving countries where they will be exploited and/or oppressed. fuck you for trying to leave. fuck you for exerting any control over your life whatsoever. that makes you the one at fault, actually.

We are so grateful to everyone who supported us while my sister was in the hospital. Thanks to your prayers and kindness, she is finally home and slowly getting better.🙏💗

But now, we are facing a desperate situation. Our landlord has given us only two weeks to pay the rent of $1,500 or we will have nowhere to go. The weather is bitterly cold, my elderly parents cannot withstand it, and my sister is still too weak to face any stress.😔💔

We don't know what else to do, and we are turning to you with hope in our hearts. Every single donation, no matter how small, will help us keep a roof over our heads and give my family safety and warmth. Please, help us today , your support can save us from the streets and give us hope in this very difficult time.🙏😔💔

i still do not understand what possessed so many well-respected actors to do the spy kids movies like

did they pay really well? did you want these beautiful, terrible movies to be a blemish on your career forever?? why

 antonio banderas did so many high-profile movies then in spy kids he looked like this

tony shalhoub has won multiple emmys but he did spy kids and

even fucking george clooney wtf

steve buscemi is pretty goofy but still

salma hayek’s pigtails in this wow 

elijah wood was the lead in a movie that’s tied for the largest number of oscars of all time and he played a character creatively named “THE GUY”

sylvester stallone is like a cultural icon and he played not one but FOUR ridiculously dressed weirdos

alan cumming is the only one i can understand 

The films were made by Robert Rodriguez who’s mostly known for gritty dramas like Sin City. His film From Dusk Til Dawn is credited with kick starting George Clooney and Salma Hayek’s movies careers. Almost all of the big names in the movies are people he’d become friends with while working on previous projects. He built a studio in his home so these films could be made quickly and cheaply, which meant the cast was basically signing up to hang out at a friend’s house for a few weeks and do some fun acting

Kids don’t care about production value, you can make big bucks off a cheaply made kids movie as long as the story appeals to the kids and there’s something to draw in adults. The big name actors drew in parents so they’d spend money on the movies and let their kids watch them on repeat, and kids loved the stories. Each movie was made for $40 million or less and the franchise earned over half a billion dollars. The actors got big paydays for a small amount of work with a director they love

It’s also, every decision in the entire first 3 movies was made on the premice of “is it fun? Is it funny? Does it bring joy?” And it shows.

reblog to bap prev with your paw

Looking at what national news outlets are up to right now, one might not realize a whole major US metropolitan area is, you know, sort of under attack by paramilitary forces. Wild.

im sorry the What is being What now???

While it's not going unreported entirely, what's been happening in Minnesota and in Minneapolis–Saint Paul in particular since Renee Good was murdered is not getting the attention it should be.

There are already 2000 gangsters from DHS deployed, and "hundreds" or "1000" more are on the way, depending on which Trumpland person you ask. As a point of reference, the Twin Cities' actual police total just under 1200 (600 in Minneapolis and 590 in Saint Paul according to the depts' sites).

The feds there are more or less attacking people at random. They've gone door-to-door for "citizenship checks" (completely illegal). They've knocked doors down when residents haven't complied (obviously also completely illegal). In addition to abducting and brutalizing the immigrants they come across during their rampages, they've done the same to US citizens of color and are also harassing, stalking and physically attacking observers.

Here are some local sources:

ICE intensifies Twin Cities operation after killing of Renee Good, protests (MPR News—link won't embed)

Privacy advocates: ICE using private data to intimidate observers and activists (MPR News—link won't embed)

Below are some videos from observers. I'm linking to Bluesky because that's where I saw them, though many are originally from/also available elsewhere. I apologize for the rancid formatting below but it was the best I could do quickly-ish. The images are previews; click the links in the timestamps to watch.

News2Share has more on YouTube:

I also recommend checking out this guy's work:

Schools had to cancel classes due to threats from ICE, and the city districts are offering virtual learning for children who are scared to leave the house.

High schoolers had classes canceled all last week because hours after Good was murdered, Border Patrol gents attacked them as school was getting out, tackled, beat and handcuffed staff, and tear gassed students.

Just a note of the scale/how it’s affecting people at every level and in every context.

Mix of agencies too: CPB, DHS, ICE.

Beth McCarthy gives trans fan new name

Queer joy detected!

sometimes I like to check in on the original "I can imagine anything" thread on r/notinteresting

my harassers are really good entertainment hehe look at them all goooooo

theres just something so amusing about like. the casual fascism and cop-esque behavior of it all. and how quickly they shut up and block my friend lily when she accurately calls them on their fascist, clout-chasing BS

whats not funny is how badly they all want to kill trans women.

ehehehe ragebait successful . yesss you are my playthiiiiings

btw if youre young and scared of doing adult things without your parents ive learned that like 90% of the time you can just tell the doctors office or the dmv "haha sorry ive never done this without help before... can you show me how to do this?" the employee will not care. if that means anything to you

The man bursts into tears. “But doctor,” he cries, “I am Pagliacci.” It is then that I stand from my seat. “No, doctor- I am Pagliacci.” Another follows suit. “No, I am Pagliacci!” Another. “I am Pagliacci!” Soon all of the patients stand, tall and defiant. “I am Pagliacci! I am Pagliacci!” The doctor cannot take us all
