hello thee

Gonna break down this response as clearly as possible. 

The origins of the police are evil. 

It has been shown repeatedly that the police were formed to oppress the working class and (1, 2) and enforce white supremacy (1, 2, 3). In fact, the early U.S. police grew directly out of slavery.

The police aren’t the people you think they are.

The police don’t care about you – they don’t even have a constitutional duty to protect you. They’re allowed to take your property without your consent (the NYPD seizes so much property they can’t even log it in their computers). In fact, cops are more likely to steal your property than burglars are. They commit hundreds of crimes and human rights violations against people like you & me and get away with it because they cover for each other.

Cops tend to be unusually aggressive, authoritarian, and secretive (Greene & Heilbrun, 2011). They are more than twice as likely to commit domestic violence than the rest of the population, and (once again) they cover for each other when doing so. The police are on the side of neo-Nazis (1, 2). In fact, many times the police themselves are the neo-Nazis/klansmen (1, 2, 3). And even besides all this, cops do all kinds of other shady shit – for instance, undercover police are used to instigate fights during protests and rallies.

The police terrorize those of us who are marginalized.

The police disproportionately arrest Black people for drugs even though white people use drugs more often. They disproportionately pull Black people over for traffic stops. The police terrorize people with disabilities.They are viciously anti-indigenous – and always have been. Police terrorize sex workers. There are countless examples of police brutalizing homeless people (1, 2, 3). The police have a lengthy history of brutality against the LGBT community (1, 2). They terrorize women of color and get away with it (1, 2, 3). They kill massive numbers of people each year – and a disproportionate number of their victims are Black and native. On top of that, recent data suggests cops may kill up to twice as many people as we even thought they did. And while police love to defend themselves by saying they have the most dangerous job, that’s not even close to being true.

The police’s best kept secret: We don’t need them! 

A world without the police is completely possible (1, 2, 3, 4). We have resources for resolving violence as communities without the need for state intervention (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 – as some examples). We as communities are better capable of resolving violence than the police are, because we don’t have the vested interest in the status quo that they have. Even if a few cops are well-intentioned here or there, it doesn’t change that the role of the police is to work against the vast majority of us in the interests of the (white) elite few. 

Moon sugar

The most beloved of foods by all Khajiit, moon sugar is a sacred treat that is held in high esteem and can be used in just about any recipe calling for regular sugar! For those of us not blessed with the original thing from the heart of Elsweyr, I present this delicious and intoxicating alternative! Just a pinch in place of regular sugar will have you dancing with Jone and Jode.

Please note: This recipe is strictly for those 18 and over! It utilises certain drugs that may be illicit where you live- please check your state and country laws. Tastes of Tamriel does NOT take any legal responsibility for what you do with this recipe and does not in any way condone irresponsible drug use. Do not exceed the recommended dose in the recipe below when consuming!

You will need:

3 grams decarbed cannabis

1/4 cup Everclear, or other high-proof spirit (moonshine)

2 dried psilocybin mushrooms, ground finely

1 vanilla bean pod, scraped

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 cup demerara (coarse brown) sugar

1 sugar cube

1 drop LSD

Cheesecloth for straining

Method:

Place the decarbed cannabis into a jar and use just enough Everclear to cover the surface. Leave to sit for 5-10 minutes, then shake well to mix. Repeat the process 3 times to infuse.

In the meantime, preheat oven to 90C/194 F and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Strain the liquid through the cheesecloth into a bowl and squeeze it well, making sure no solids are filtered through.

Add the demarara sugar and mix well, until completely coated. Spread the sugar evenly across the surface of the baking paper, and bake for 2 minutes. Turn the mixture and repeat the process until the sugar is dry and the alcohol has completely evaporated.

Place the sugar cube on a clean, non-porous surface like a plate or piece of aluminium foil, and drop the LSD on. Leave undisturbed for 10-15 minutes to soak through and infuse through the sugar cube. It may melt and crumble a little- if it does, just leave it alone to set as stirring will contaminate the LSD.

Transfer the infused demarara sugar into a big bowl (a mortar and pestle work well here if you have one) and add the ground mushrooms, LSD sugar cube, vanilla bean, and cinnamon. Grind together well until the sugar gains a finer, sand-like consistency, and all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly.

Store your moon sugar in an airtight jar, and keep in a cool, dry place. Best used within 3 months of production for maximum potency.
