Karen Ward covers the beat of drug policy reform on Bsky.

the homeless urge to go home (there is nowhere to go)

I forgot illegal things are actually impossible .

I forgot illegal and gross things are impossible.

So my axiom of "illegal does not mean impossible" applies to attorney ethics rules and court pleadings too. Lying in court isn't allowed. It also happens every day. And because sanctions are discretionary on the part of a judge, they often go entirely unpunished.

When I tell people violent crimes are almost always between people who know each other they don't even know how to process that, it's not how they've ever thought about crime.

If I see one more person say that if people aren't breaking the law, they won't be arrested at protests, I think I may actually dissolve into a puddle of goo.

I’m thrilled to be filming with other pro femdoms this weekend. Subscribe and tribute, you won’t want to miss it.

Yourself, but as a cartoon.

Straight men HATE when you call them straight. "I've dated two gender fluid people" THAT YOU ONLY SAW AS WOMEN. SHUT. UP.

Making art that steals from Indigenous people and selling it is bad, even if you're the son of a Democrat politician. Deflecting with "orange man bad" bullshit won't change this.

Please help Lilith!!!

I didnt see anyone stealing food and I never will.. I never saw anyone doing something to feed and house themselves and minded it.

#homelesssky Help the Lumpenpoledancer!

If friends care if black trans dies please helps me

We've been having these conversations for decades.

I mean we havr the term whorearchy

Just thinking too.. migrants & people without proper work permits... wouldn't have ability to take these "official" routes. Homeless ppl. Anyways use some street smarts..

Instead of saying "how do we get trafficked survivors out of this situation" Ppl just stuck in shock and awe feedback loops "That's insane!" Like a broken record. But no action to divest. Motivation ends to do anything cuz that word "insane" provides some kind of mental catharsis.

I've resented for a while how social media primers parasocial shock and awe. That just intermittently reinforces various info gaps for lateral purgatories.

Also always seems to be ppl that are spectators of a phenomena rather than a survivor/victim that describe oppressive situations as "insane"

But to others who are untouched by certain oppressions, it would seem absurd to be so cruel. Thats what makes the harm even that much more cruel and psychologically hazing;

Survivors and other social undesirables who had to actually navigate situations irl rather than just rhetorical discourse can't really just go "this is insane!" And that makes it go away. Most ppl going thru it don't even get an out.

Got to work today and almost passed out from heat already… yay for Zoloft + Seroquel!!

I just yelled at my mom for texting me that long covid Wired article. Somehow the retrain your brain article is EVERYWHERE and the "long covid is transmissible by blood in mice" article is not. WONDER WHY.

I think if squirrels were people, they’d be the kind of people who start fights in gas station parking lots. For no real reason. Just because.

Those agendas and biases can be anything! Case in point: you think the fruit in the garden of eden was an apple because a guy translating the story into Latin wanted to make a pun.

The text just says "fruit." Apple is mālum. Evil is malum, or malus. Different roots, but similar enough to make a point, so the translator made a choice.

This is fucking diabolical.

Please support Freda Epum, if able, as she is a brilliant Black writer whose PhD studies & book tour for her memoir, Gloomy Girl Variety Show, were interrupted by a brain tumor, given how they contribute to excruciating headaches, in addition to the kidney disease, fibromyalgia, etc. she navigates!🙏🏾

“If you want to be sure you never contribute to war, genocide, or oppression, the first step is to stop following orders.”

Marginalized voices are often the ones that get less visibility, and it can make it harder for people to feel heard or supported.

Listen reality is reality and if you want to keep yourself safe use discretion but the fact is people who are homeless and under age do engage with survival sex work. If something seems suspect you pull out.. but saying "youre under 18 you cant do sw" isnt going to stop needs

"Common sense isnt so common" Has been told to me.

Anyways it is a bit redundant to be like "I'm and old whore, ive been around since the dawn of time and in the thick of it, even before that." If ppl care or notice thats their business ppl wanna do " hmmmm what if" thats also fair. They have their lack of exposure to things.

Actual footage of us

Ppl know what they dont know ...and also dont know what they dont know.

Homeless, disabled, 2SLGBTQAI+, BBIMP sw are my home and family. I'm not an outsider.. Im also veryold and there are old bitches who have been saying a lot of stuff for years.. But a lot of it was erased. It was muddled on purpose. Misinformation peddled.. Truth hidden. Voices silenced.

Im not going too much into certain topics and certain things are for our community exclusively. But ive been homeless and had homeless sw community which obviously was intersectional in a deliberate way ... because of the way racial capitalism and cisheteropatriachy works, you know?
