It’s The 21st Day Of The 21st Year Of The 21st Century.

Hey, so, this might be an unpopular opinion, but no matter how bad the police are, anyway: Reform, not abolish.

A lot of people on Tumblr are talking about how awful the police are right now, and I'm not saying that no change needs to happen, but I recently saw a post outright calling to abolish the police force, and, well... That'd be a disaster. Guess who investigates when somebody's house is broken into? When somebody's pet is stolen, or somebody is kidnapped, or hell, in most cases, when somebody is hurt or killed? The police.

There definitely needs to be change. We need to change the way that police are trained all over the world, we need to fire all current police officers. But that's just to make way for a new era. And to prove it, I have a little ancedote for you all.

About a year ago, I (A 15 year old girl) was sexually abused and exploited by an older man online. I was 14 when I was coerced into sending nudes and doing sexual roleplay with this man for three months, and I had been groomed for two years prior. This man had a feeder/feedee kink, and my health still suffers for my unhealthy attitude towards food. I am hypersexual. June 22, 2020 is my one-year anniversary of getting out. Why am I telling you this?

Because the police helped.

They did what they could to find this pervert. They couldn't manage it, since he was in the USA and I live in the UK, but not for lack of trying. If there had been no police force to do that, I would be much further back in my recovery.

Granted, I might not fully understand. I am white. I'm not rich, but I'm not poor either (Well, my family is, anyway). I fully support the people protesting for their rights. I acknowledge that the police force needs to change. I acknowledge that police brutality exists. That the minorities that the police are abusing deserve better. But the way that people talk about the police, the military, and 'Bootlickers' really makes me nervous sometimes. We need a police force, in some capacity. Not the one we currently have, but something. So please: Call for reform, not abolishment.

Thanks.

Hey guys. EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE who reblogs this post BY MAY 5TH 2019 will be getting a small monster design based on your blog theme, name, or profile picture. Let’s go.

So, I want to watch the first two Alien movies with some friends who aren’t as used to horror as I am, and I’m looking for some ways to make it less scary. Do the faceless internet strangers of Tumblr have any suggestions?

This thread omg

You guys are so screwed now!

THE POWERPUFF GIRLS IS BEING TURNED INTO WHAT

The Shadowhunter Chronicles: Characters ↳ Magnus Bane (The Mortal Instruments): “To them, as to Magnus, time was like rain, glittering as it fell, changing the world, but something that could also be taken for granted. Until you loved a mortal. Then time became gold in a miser’s hands, every bright year counted out carefully, infinitely precious, and each one slipping through your fingers.”

A little something for a near and dear friend, @halfthorn. <3
