I also have this idea for a super hero who is all about the rescue and could not give a rats ass about fighting villains.

Like so much so that villains will clue them into their plans early so that the hero can figure out how to protect all the civilians.

“I’m going to use my Earthquake machine to rob every bank in the city.”
“Cool what’s the radius on that?”
“It’ll be restricted to just the financial sector.”
“Awesome any chance you could do this robbery at 3am so their will be fewer ppl”

I keep seeing this criticism of “No Kill” Superheroes and the “If you kill you are no better than a criminal” and I some of the criticism is valid because ethics in comic books are super simple but now I really want a super hero who’s reason for being No Kill is that he doesn’t want to be like a cop.

Like no one in Gotham is afraid of the cops but all the criminals shit their pants at the sign of the Bat. I want the opposite. I want a hero who is all about Restorative Justice and De-escalation

Today I learned that the NJ Turnpike is considered Private Property and that if you call AAA Roadside Assistance while stuck out there with a flat, they can’t help you.

And you have to call the Turnpike for help and pay them whatever they charge you. This was an object lesson in why Private Property is bad

The Janet’s have Unionized!

Our teacher: “Rules are made to incarcerate. Either physically or mentally.”

We’re learning about restorative justice in my Alternate Route Teaching class.

The topic last night was about how teachers, particularly white teachers, are more willing to use restorative justice with white students.

White students get asked why they did it black students get sent to the principal.

Our teacher is a black man teaching a lot of white teachers to confront our own racism and to keep it out of our teaching.

Also I am pretty sure that Jeralt set fire to the monastery so he could escape and raise me without connection to the church for a reason. And then the second they know he’s alive they conscript us both into service? Sketchy as fuck!

Nemesis the last person the wield the Sword of the Creator also rebelled against the Church and he was called the King of Liberation how is he the bad guy

Wait so I’m not supposed to rebel against the church? I’m on my first play through and chose Black Eagles and the Church is super creepy. But I looked ahead and it says the route where you rebel against the church is a secret route. Was there not going to be a reveal that the Church is evil?

I realize I’m working with the Empire and Empires are bad. But the Church just summarily executed people. And they are super authoritative. How are they not the baddies.

Shout out to my class mate who not only gave my a jump start tonight but also, after hearing that I was an hour from home with very little gas and my wallet had been stolen, drove with me to a gas station and put $25 worth of gas in my car. Today was the first time we ever met.

Playing Infamous: Second Son and the DUP (fascists military police) show up with their sirens going and my little brothers Guinea pigs start singing in a way that sounds just like the siren.

Bro I think your Pigs are Cops

Saw these while taking a walk today. #florespondence

DEA Agent on a BiCountry assignment in Mexico looking for the police station: How do you say Police in Mexican?
Shopkeeper: No such thing man.
DEA Agent:*stares*
Shopkeeper: As that language.
DEA Agent: *stares*
Shopkeeper: Fine the word you’re looking for is Cerdo. That’s how you say Police in “Mexican,” Cerdo.

Made the Union Rep’s day today when he asked if he had given me his “Join the Union spiel” and I told him I was already planning to sign up.

Then he helped me write an email to HR to ask when they were gonna have me in to sign my contract and get my health insurance.

Today I said to myself that my emotions were “out of wack” but then corrected as they are pretty “in wack” considering my recent stressors they just aren’t where I would like them to be.

It’s like my emotional state is a kitchen and I am usually very good at keeping it tidy but then I just had an accident making tomato sauce from scratch and now the kitchen is all dirty and I’ve been slowly cleaning it but I’m worried if I don’t get it all clean soon it’ll start to smell bad.
