Please reblog if you know anyone who might take party drugs.
this is so important
Also important information: A cop cannot arrest you for something you already took. You can tell a cop to his face that you just injected black tar heroin in your veins and as long as you don’t currently have any on you (including things like syringes or residue in a pipe), there’s fuck all he can do about it.
I take police reports for a living. The number of people who will happily tell someone “Well officer, this fight started because I smoked crack cocaine earlier,” is astounding and also not at all illegal. The criminal charge is for Possession of a Controlled Substance. If you don’t possess any at the time, there’s no crime. The only thing you can get dinged for is if you’re actively on a drug and driving, in which case - DUI.
Please, please, please tell EMTs what you took. They’re not going to rat you out to the cops and even if they did, you will still be okay.
Spreading the word, being honest with paramedics and doctors can save your life
like! people always reference pride & prejudice as the archetypal “normal girl falls for mysterious brooding antihero” story but they overlook the part where lizzy drags darcy so fucking hard he leaves town and then apologizes for talking to her the next time they meet even though they’re at his literal house
ok look, I’m loving the whole Page, Nelson and Murdock dynamic a lot but also… does this mean Karen’s no longer going to be a journalist? Karen’s discovery of journalism and her independence and her growing familial vibe with Ellison and following in Ben’s footsteps is one of the most satisfying things about the entire MCU. are they really just going to get rid of that, or??
seriously, Kala ending up with Wolfgang and Rajan was so ridiculous and forced and completely invalidated Kala’s entire storyline
the amount of screen time Rajan got compared to Capheus and Sun
the fact that Wolfgang was apparently unable to handle a gunshot wound after taking care of Felix who was injured even worse (and yes, I understand he was in pain, both physical and otherwise, but still)
the whole ‘no carbohydrates in the house’ thing because Lito may be dramatic but he’s not one to be worried about carbs when Wolfgang was in danger
the fact that Capheus was so excited to see Rajan, y'know the guy who sold expired medication to poor countries like Kenya
the lack of screen time for Capheus and Sun
how long Nomi and Amanita’s wedding was (don’t get me wrong, I loved the wedding but it was way too long)
Kala’s family wasn’t at the wedding (aside from Rajan, which again, makes no sense)
Nomi’s mother suddenly being chill after eating a pot brownie
the fact that Nomi’s parents were invited to the wedding at all (her sister makes sense but not her transphobic parents even though her dad finally referred to her as his daughter)
the result of Capheus’ election is never revealed
Sun’s storyline with her brother is never resolved
neither is Lito’s story about his acting and Iberian Dreams
the ending orgy included non-Senate Daniela (which implies she had actual sex with two homosexual men which is just so gross)
the unresolved issues that never even got mentioned
THE SLAUGHTER OF KALA’S CHARACTER AND STORYLINE JUST TO INCLUDE A POLY RELATIONSHIP THAT MADE NO SENSE AND ADDED NOTHING TO THE ENDING
i feel like this is greatly simplifying what has actually happened. james gunn made those tweets long before the first guardians movie came out and has since apologized for them and pledged to do better. disney was aware of these tweets when they hired him. james gunn has also been outspoken about his views against trump, earning him hate from the far right.
but this right wing guy named mike cernovich, who is known for creating fake outrages like pizzagate, and has made disgusting rape tweets of his own, dredged up the tweets recently to create new conservative outrage (and there was plenty of outrage when gunn was first hired for gotg because of those tweets, which iirc is when he apologized for them) with the sole purpose of hurting gunn’s career.
please can we take a step back from the knee-jerk for a second. yeah the tweets were garbage. we know it. he knows it. and he apologized for it ten years ago. like bonzai-bunny said, disney was AWARE when they hired him for it. he’d already publicly apologized for them. i could care less what happens to gunn. the issue here is that he tweeted extremely anti-trump stuff, and then vile alt-right accounts dug up old, and already addressed, garbage with the sole intent of getting him fired. they didn’t want him fired for the 10 year old tweets. they wanted him fired for being anti-trump. that’s why this is such a big issue, and that’s why the cast is speaking out.
whats the point in letting people grow if we burn them to the ground over decade old stuff that theyve apologized for? i guarantee not one single person reblogging this post has never said something vile, gross, or disrespectful. would you expect everyone to immediately delete their blog forever? i’m not defending what he did: it was gross. but he already got his punishment for it 10 years ago and he apologized. there is a bigger picture here, and its not about the 10 year old tweets.
yeah you don’t have to forgive Gunn and accept his apology but realize this entire thing was orchestrated by the online far right specifically in response to Gunn opposing trump and they specifically went looking to frame him and cause a controversy
You know those movies about those little nerd boys who get with really hot girls, and those girls eventually learn to settle for a little nerd boy because he’s kinda nice sometimes? Propaganda.
You know those movies and shows where the little nerd girl has to change absolutely every aspect that makes her, her, starting by her appearance, so she can get the really hot boy, while when it’s the other way around the girl just settles with the nerd boy? Propaganda.
