Crep’s Creature Corner

"I know it's stupid," she said, "but I can't stop thinking about it."

"Call me if that happens, " I said, because we lived 15 minutes away from each other. "I'll run over and watch her until her grandparents get there."

Remember if they have read you your rights. If they have not, you have been illegally detained and can tell your lawyer this when they arrive. Tell them ‘They have not yet read me my rights’, or if they delayed until the precinct to read your rights, tell them this too. Anything you say before your rights are read to, but after you were detained, becomes inadmissible to a court of law. If they have read you your rights and you asked for a lawyer however, things you say before the lawyer arrives ARE admissible, so say NOTHING AT ALL.  

You are also entitled to more than one phone call. Hollywood has taught you that you get ‘one phone call’ and if you didn’t call a lawyer then you no longer get the lawyer. YOU DO. You get more than one phone call, and if you ask for a lawyer they legally cannot continue trying to question you. 

IF YOU ARE A MINOR: They are also required to have a social worker present.

INVOKE SILENCE. INVOKE A LAWYER. 

These are not things ‘guilty’ people do, these are things that protect you. You have rights.  Remember: 

Today was unlike any other.

We received a few donations and with them, we had our first real meal in over a month. For the first time in so long, we didn’t go to sleep hungry. We cried, not from pain this time, but from overwhelming joy and gratitude.

To everyone who donated, shared, or simply kept us in their thoughts thank you. You didn’t just feed us. You reminded us that we’re not alone. You gave us back a piece of our dignity and hope.

But the struggle isn’t over. We’re still in need of food, support, and a little more light in these hard times.

Please, if you can, continue to help. Every share, every dollar, every act of kindness makes a real difference.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. And please, stay with us on this journey.

i get the majority of my news from online news articles. sometimes, though, it’s hard to know what’s going on without word from the ground — for instance, the suffering of individual gazans isn’t reported on often.

one such gazan is my friend ibrahim @wolf-aid. you wouldn’t know it if you only looked at popular news sources, because they aren’t reporting on individual tragedies — but just recently he was only 500 meters from a house being bombed. on top of that, his father has bladder cancer and his condition is deteriorating rapidly.

ibrahim has the opportunity to evacuate his father and possibly even go with him — but he needs money to do so, and money to support the rest of his family in the meantime. you’ve all helped so much — please keep that help up. ibrahim needs you.

BIG year for Walter Groggins—errr, Walton Goggins!
