#stop school shootings

[streetlightsthatguideyouhome]

I am beyond offended and disgusted by the fact that Deja Taylor is blaming her son’s ADHD for the shooting at Richneck Elementary / using it as an excuse.

So much for her “taking responsibility”. 😒

A six year old should never have had access to a gun.

Period.

And victim-blaming Abby Zwerner (the teacher he tried to kill - yes, he reportedly said at the time, “I did it… I shot the b*tch dead”) because “he felt ignored” is bullsh*t.

Even Special Education teachers (of whom, Zwerner is not by any account I read) cannot prioritize one student’s needs over the needs of the other 18+ kids in the class.

His IEP (preliminary IEP? Nobody actually referred to it as an IEP but that’s what it should be if the accommodations were formalized) at the time specified that he would be accompanied by one of his parents at school. The school reportedly decided that he was making enough progress that was no longer necessary.

Obviously, it was (or some other arrangement - like phasing out or tapering - needed to be made). Because a child who is used to having an adult’s constant, full attention is going to feel ignored when he starts receiving only the same amount of adult attention as the other students (or even somewhat more!) if it’s still less than what he’s used to.

Oh. And a big F*%K YOU to the school district, Newport News Public Schools, that wants Zwerner’s lawsuit to be dismissed because it’s a “worker’s comp” situation.

I didn’t realize that we’re so desensitized to school shootings that a teacher getting shot by a student is now a worker’s comp claim. 🤬

The US ban a media platform so quickly, but when it comes to humanitarian issue, they had to debate whether it's worth their time to debate it or not.

5 ask game: au where Aizawa gets shot with a quirk erasing bullet during the Overhaul arc

Ok so the main obstacle here of course is I don't want Izuku to die, like, five minutes later. Perhaps my special little guy can stop this.

1- Lets say when Chisaki grabbed Nemoto to pull a fusion, Nemoto's gun was caught up in all this too. This doesn't matter until after he's been beaten and thrown to the side, and watches Eri and Izuku struggle in the middle of the crater. Asui brings Aizawa up, and Chisaki knows that if Eraser stops them, they're all taken for good. So he shoots at Eraser- and its a hit.

2- A moment later, a swordfish pierces his shoulder, but the damage is done. Asui shouts. Izuku screams. Eri wails. Amajiki "Do i have to do everything around here myself" Tamaki "the only big three who actually takes out a third of the expendables and the top brass on his own" Suneater picks up the gun to crush it. Then he looks at the sobbing Eri, and thinks about how Mirio wanted her to smile. "I'm sorry," he whispers to no one, and fires- the first one's a miss, he's not as good a mark as Chisaki. But he is one of Snipe's students, and the second one hits.

3- Since the bullets are made from her own quirk, Eri reacts.... differently to them. It doesn't rewind her as much as it gives her a reset. her horn shrinks but doesn't vanish, and the effort catches up to her as she passes out on top of Izuku.

4- Suneater crushes the gun, then starts trying to find the cure bullets in Chisaki's jacket, but frankly his second wind cast by Mirio's distress is running out so he ends up dragged to an ambulance while the police bag evidence. In a true stroke of genius, they do not transport Chisaki with all of his weapons and bullets, so Tomura doesn't grab them when he takes the man's arms.

5- In the hospital, they don't exactly want to just take Chisaki's word for the cure bullets and jab who-knows-what into Aizawa and Mirio, so they very carefully start studying one first. Unfortunately, Ujiko hears about this and nabs the other cure bullets. (much easier than trying to nab Eri.) Tomura and AfO won't be able to use the eraser bullets in any plans (no baby-afo fight) but they will try to ransom the cure at least. Tamaki attempts to give back his hero license and withdraw from the school, but Nedzu stalls him then guilts him into staying because for reasons beyond the teen's comprehension, Eri actually really likes him and with no erasure to stop her quirk if it goes out of control, they need anything they can get to help. Aizawa continues teaching because if being in full body cast didn't stop him, losing his quirk won't either, and Mirio is like 'well hold on a minute. if he's not stopping, why should i?' and continues training at school while quirkless, even if his actual work outside of school isn't happening anymore.

There is already misinformation being spread about the school shooting today at Covenant school in Nashville, TN. 

There is a photo of a “Samantha Hyde” being circulated, saying that the trans woman is the shooter. THIS IS FALSE. 

At this time, 3:45pm central US time, there is no identification of the 28 year old female shooter.

Editing to add: yes, this is a joke, and it’s still harmful as fuck to the trans community to the insane republicans who will continue to believe it was a trans woman who killed those kids and say  “it’s a media cover up to protect trans ppl”

[thedreadpiratejames]

it happened again

[samyelbanette]

I can’t count the amount of times Republicans have looked at me with a straight face and said: “well, if we changed the gun control laws, it wouldn’t prevent mass shootings. Criminals would just buy their guns illegally.”

And I look at them and I say. Finland. Finland changed their gun control laws. And there were no mass shootings, from 2010 (when they changed the law) until today. None. Not one.

Feel like I haven't appreciated Sonny Carasi enough lately. We have so few fiercely gentle heterosexual men on television. He lets the women in his life take the lead without feeling threatened by them, actively combats toxic masculinity when he sees it and never takes away his partner's agency or decision making authority. He protects and provides without ever feeling aggressive. He can cook. He's a great dad to his wife's children (and should get to adopt them honestly) and his former boss is so fond of him she treats him the way she would have treated her little brother had circumstances not been what they were.

How can you not love him? He literally grew into a good man right in front of us. In a world of media with so many examples of toxic masculinity, Sonny Carasi is an example of positive masculinity.
