Someone just asked ‘what is the point’ when a monster bites you so soft they don’t leave a mark.
The point is that you’ve got this huge, monstrous creature, so strong that they could rip you in half, so dangerous that they’ve done it to others without even thinking, and yet here they are, being gentle with you. Teeth that are used to biting through bone merely brush lightly over your skin, claws that could pierce through solid metal drag across your back, and it’s so soft that it tickles. The point is that this thing could kill you in seconds, that’s what it’s always done to people in the past, but it prefers to treat you like the most fragile, precious thing in existence.
“Illegal immigration” is really a minor misdemeanor offense and thus does not require a goddamn militarized deportation Gestapo terrorizing poor people in their homes and businesses! #AbolishICE
There’s a lot of misinformation going around about the kids that ICE has supposedly lost. I bought it too, but Arri has pointed out to me that there’s serious misunderstandings being passed around social media.
– The 1,500 ‘missing kids’ number does not come from families separated at the border. Rather, it comes from children released back from custody to their families, who are not obliged to then tell ICE their whereabouts. This is good. ICE shouldn’t know their whereabouts
– Families that have actually kept ICE updated about their whereabouts have often been mass deported. ICE is intentionally trying to trick these families into getting themselves deported
– The Office of Refugee Resettlement is currently run by a fascist religious psychopath who’s trying to use this narrative to gain more power over refugees
– There has been an escalating policy of separating kids from families by ICE over the past decade, and Jeff Sessions wants to increase the frequency with which this happens. The information being published about this, especially from the ACLU, is legit.

Hello, friend, this list is super great and I am also digging a nihilistic
rom-com. You didn’t specify a fandom or pairing so I’m going with Rogue One
Baze/Chirrut.
Chirrut was waiting for him at the west gate, and slipped his hand around
Baze’s elbow nearly before Baze had noticed he was there.
“I was beginning to think I’d been stood up,” Chirrut said.
Baze covered Chirrut’s hand with this own. “When have I ever stood you up?”
Chirrut tipped his head to his side. “Well, there was that time when we
were fifteen and you promised to take me to the shore only to cancel that
very day.”
“The city was under lockdown,” Baze answered, guiding them into the line
for the checkpoint to the inner financial district. “You can hardly hold
that against me.”
I mean I SAY I love the ‘Enemies to Lovers’ trope but what I really MEAN is that I love the
‘Enemies to Resentful Allies In A Time Of Crisis to Grudging Mutual Respect to Growing Fondness Concealed By Snark to Hurtful Betrayal to Slow Reconciliation With A Greater Understanding Of Each Other to Strange But Solid Friendship to Unexpected Feelings In A Time Of Crisis to Denying Their Feelings While Growing Closer As Friends to Epiphanies Of Love In The Worst Possible Circumstances to Mutual Pining to Unbearable Sexual Tension to Lovers’
