no being single doesnt kill you, but it can lead to a lowered self worth wich may result in suicidal thoughts or actions. but the right relationship will show you your worth, and in a sense heal you.

of course relationships should be looked at on a case-by-case basis. no one should expect a relationship to heal them. 

but no one should miss out on a happy/healthy relationship with someone they love simply because its better to be single

do what makes you the best you. if you feel happiest single, then be single. if you jump from relationship to relationship, try staying with someone for a bit longer than usual. if youre in a toxic relationship, do what you can to get out of it.

as humans we tend to get ourselves stuck in situations that can be harmful to us. it doesnt have to be that way

stop worrying about others, do what makes you happy.

you can see them here, to the right of the suit’s built-in boots.

photos of armstrong on the moon prominently feature the boots!

although i couldn’t find any official nasa photos of the bottoms of the boots, i could find something even more interesting! an x-ray of the boots “taken as a last minute check to see if there were any foreign objects that could compromise the integrity of the spacesuit during the mission, such as broken off tips of needles that were used in the stitching process”

the thick vertical lines are the treads at the bottoms of the boots

“If we don’t have police, how do we stop crimes?”

A lack of police does not mean that crime runs rampant. A majority of police duties are actually surrounding things that we would not consider worthy of jail time such as homelessness. For actual crimes, law enforcement is still something that exists in a world with defunded police. It means that law enforcement is no longer responsible for all of public safety. The “police” would instead consist of a variety of teams including our classic conception of police, but primarily including other types of response teams such as mental health workers. 

“What is a social worker going to do in a robbery?”

Once again, it’s about responding appropriately. The robbery wouldn’t happen in the first place, because a friend or family member of the future robber would notice that the individual is severely down on their luck or acting in ways that would indicate a robbery (such as leaving late at night), and would be able to call a social worker. The social worker would connect the individual with services that would now have the funding to provide the things the individual needed.

“What will police do without equipment?”

The truth is, officers never needed to be this heavily armed. Most police stations are so heavily militarized that citizens can expect a military-type force at situations that only require a small intervention. If a situation literally requires the strength of the military behind it, it’s clearly not a local law enforcement situation.

“Politicians would never vote for that!”

But citizens would. Clearly there are people who firmly believe in this idea, and it’s inevitable that some of them will run for office. Vote for them.

“White people get killed by cops too.”

Point B- You cannot prevent everything with psychotherapy, because some seriously heinous bastards would figure out how to game the system so that they could get a clean bill of mental health from the social workers you mention and then become a serial rapist or murderer with no one to stop them.

Point C- Anyone whose job it is to determine guilt and punishment over human lives, or the very values of good and evil, will inevitably become corrupt eventually. So in two or three decades, if we overthrow the cops, the people who came in to replace them will become just like them.

ok i am a panromantic demisexual transmasc enby; polyamerous questioning. i was raised as a christian but left the church to practice pagonistic witchraft. im a 100% leftist/ anarchist. i once got crossed at a party, and was sexually asulted. ive been sexually abused far more times than i can count without the cops even caring. the system pushes it off as ‘boys will be boys’.  when i first came out (as bi) i was forced to stop talking to half of my family because i was ‘sick’, and my church forced me into a conversion therapy camp because i shouldnt exist. my brother has a differnt mom than i do, shes African American. he got her darker skin although our dad is caucasion. every time i hangout with him he flinches when he hears a cop car, even on the tv. most of my friends are Mexican. last year the parents of 2 of them got deported because they look different. a girl in my 7th grade class died during childbirth because she got raped and her parents wouldnt allow her to get an abortion. ive been to so many funerals that im completely numb, unable to produce a single tear. most of those funerals were for the suicides of people i was close with, like my best friend and my cousin. ive seen all this pain and horrer in the world and..

im only 15.

im always being told that im too young to know whats going on, and thats correct. i dont know what the fuck is going on in my brain. im still figuring out who i am. thats a complete mystery to me.

but i am NOT too young to know whats going on in the world around me. in my short 15 years of life i have witnessed so much abuse and oppression that it has caused me to attempt to take my life twice. i know how this world treats minorities and it needs to change.
