The Long Nineteenth Century

somnilogical:

I… honestly think that the human categories I care about most are the most neurotype loaded ones.

As opposed to those involving shared past experiences which come in second and those involving shared body configurations which come in third and the “being on the same randomly selected soccer team” kind of groupings which come in last.

“If a federal law enforcement officer takes action, with or without awaiting guidance from Johns Hopkins legal and/or public safety personnel, it is important that you do not intervene, as obstructing or otherwise interfering with certain government activity can be a crime,” the memo reads.

hmm I wonder what that “certain government activity might be”? seems kind of important

“It instructs employees not to obstruct the officers’ activities or block their movement in any facility. Additionally, employees are instructed not to notify the person who is being sought by federal law enforcement officials.

Employees were also told not to ‘engage in any behavior in an effort to enable them to leave the premises or hide.’”

Johns Hopkins tells faculty not to “intervene” in ICE detainments

A memo sent by the Office of General Counsel at Johns Hopkins instructs faculty and staff not to intervene if federal law enforcement detain

The Baltimore Banner

correct. do not cooperate with fascists

the university general counsel is trying to minimize the school’s liability by minimizing faculty’s liability. they are giving legal advice designed protect the faculty from trouble so that the school isn’t inconvenienced. they probably have a duty to provide that advice but they also have a duty to continue with “…this is how to protect yourself and the school legally. should you choose not to cooperate we will also have your back in federal court,” because the school has a duty to provide that, because the faculty have a duty not to cooperate

and i’m disappointed but not surprised that they are failing utterly to uphold that duty even after one of their students was blackbagged for writing an op-ed

shovels will always be the GOAT

I like the immediacy of a hammer but you really can’t go wrong with any heavy blunt object that can be easily held

Being beaten to death with a hammer implies premeditation and a hint of real malice…the shovel, on the other hand, gives major desperation vibes. It’s inherently a little sassy. Nothing else really competes in the blunt instrument space.

If I beat someone to death with a shovel it’d be because I was also planning to bury their body in the desert and decided to Marie Kondo simplify the whole murder process

thinking about, what if you’re beating someone to death with a shovel, and the spade part falls off. do you try to keep going with just the handle? do you try to repair it? look for another implement? no matter what you do it’s going to be a little lame, unless there’s a backup shovel right there

I feel like that’s something that would happen on Breaking Bad. Maybe Barry
