Can I Kick It? (yes you can!)

The recruiter is not your friend. The military employs child psychologists to learn how to make you think the recruiter is your friend.

The recruiter is allowed to lie to you and makes more money if they do.

The recruiter is paid a commission to groom children into cannon fodder.

The recruiter will tell you you're special and will go into special smart soldier programs instead of combat. They're lying.

The recruiter may tell you they can tell if someone can get PTSD or not and only recruit people like you, who won't. They're lying.

The recruiter may tell you you'll be too busy attending free college (!!) to go overseas. They're lying.

The recruiter may ask what countries you want to travel to and promise you bougie placements on military bases in those countries. They're lying.

Even "It's just four years!" is a lie - the government is allowed to hold you past your enlistment period with a stop-loss order.

The recruiter actually has zero power to decide anything that happens to you after you enlist and they more importantly don't care what happens to you.

If you enlist, you will be brainwashed to make you willing to do things to other humans that you would never be willing to do today.

You will be ordered to do things that will kill children. And you'll do them.

The military is not the only way or even the best way for you to go to college or start a career.

Military brainwashing will actually make you into a terrible university student because it degrades your ability to think critically and question your sources.

Having PTSD and/or a TBI will make it harder to be a student and keep a job.

Veterans' benefits suck these days.

Being a veteran drastically increases your risk of homelessness, suicide, alcohol and drug dependence, prison time, and becoming an abuser to your loved ones.

The military will expose you to chemicals that will drastically increase your chances of developing cancer.

The military will withhold information about your rights to conscientiously object after enlisting.

If you want an organization who WILL tell you the truth about your rights to conscientiously object, how to legally get out of the DEP (Delayed Entry Program) or about any of your other rights in the military (whether you’re enlisted, thinking about enlisting, or a family member or friend of someone enlisted (or thinking about enlisting)), who will do it confidentially & for free, you want the

GI Rights Hotline

run by NGOs & non-profits, which has been counseling folks for DECADES now:

Or by phone:

Minimum wage in California just went up to $16.90. You need to be rank E4 or be E3 with at least 3 years of service before you're making more than the CA minimum wage in the military.

You will literally get better pay and benefits working at a costco. (And that's not even accounting for the fact that the military isn't a 40 hour work week, your entire life is on the clock)

So twitter is going to the shitter even more so I'm gonna upload some older posts, making this the first one as a gijinka thread. original caption: "Know what, fuck you un-bones your brothers"

People liked papyrus a lot...sans failed at staying awake

Alphys and Sans over the Doctor Megalo lense

wig snatched cause a lot of people kept saying he should be bald

unrelated but people found it funny how I went about designing the two

and, of course, the absolute insanity that was sans' shirt

the fact that Michael Robinson being brutally assaulted by 8 white teens to the point he was begging for them to stop so he wouldn’t die? is in the same place where fucking RODNEY KING happened & was one of the things that jump started the LA “riots”.

his peers came together to voice their ire with the Simi Valley city council and baby… the recording of one of the perpetrators literally saying he will kill niggas in front of his COP FATHER is… yeah we gotta start whooping ass on all sides, no hesitation. the kids can get it too, idgaf.

that’s why i must reiterate, white & nonblack ppl’s “ edgy racist phases” may have been temporary for them, but had lifetime consequences for Black kids & teens.

Lately I've come to the conclusion that I am apparently a fan of the "person from the future goes back in time to prevent the apocalypse" trope lmao. I'm pretty sure I already compared CJ to Silver at some point, and TSAU!Leo being a fan of the Sonic franchise would definitely make that comparison. Aside from that I think Donnie would be a Terminator fan because of the whole "evil AI and robots rule the world" thing, and Casey would be a fan of Dragon Ball because it's about a bunch of buff characters fighting and yelling a lot.

Then that got me thinking about how Raph would probably also like Dragon Ball, and that it would be cute if it was specifially Casey that introduced him to the series in the first place. It would also be fucking hilarious if the plan of sending CJ back in time at least partially was inspired by DBZ of all things so that's canon to the AU now hell yeah

Inas is already suffering from malnutrition, which is also very dangerous for the baby in her womb. Given that Israel has violated the ceasefire deal and has once again blocked all aid into Gaza, things in Gaza are getting even worse and prices are soaring. Inas is terrified she will not be able to carry her baby to term!

A regular pregnancy is already a difficult ordeal for many women, let alone having a difficult pregnancy during a genocide! Inas does not want to lose her baby! Please donate if you are able to!
