Humans quickly get a reputation among the interplanetry alliance and the reputation is this: when going somewhere dangerous, take a human.
Humans are tough. Humans can last days without food. Humans heal so fast they pierce holes in themselves or inject ink for fun. Humans will walk for days on broken bones in order to make it to safety. Humans will literally cut off bits of themselves if trapped by a disaster.
You would be amazed what humans will do to survive. Or to ensure the survival of others they feel responsible for.
That’s the other thing. Humans pack-bond, and they spill their pack-bonding instincts everywhere. Sure it’s weird when they talk sympathetically to broken spaceships or try to pet every lifeform that scans as non-toxic. It’s even a little weird that just existing in the same place as them for long enough seems to make them care about you. But if you’re hurt, if you’re trapped, if you need someone to fetch help?
So-called “shoplifting” is a manufactured crime, designed by reactionaries to distract proletarians from the kleptocratic actuality of bourgeois late capitalist society.
Fam you can slap as many big shiny words as you want on it shoplifting is a crime that hurts retail workers, like me
WE get in trouble because selfish, middle class teenagers who want a chuckle nab hundreds of dollars worth of stuff without paying- then we, the staff, either get blamed for STEALING IT or get blamed for letting someone steal it. We get in trouble because Suzy just HAD to have those designer jeans, or that bronzer, or that bottle of jack. I don’t judge people who steel food too heavily because I get it, you need to eat, I don’t like it but you do what you gotta. But defending theft as some ‘radical’ stick it to the man movement is bullshit.
You’re not hurting the man/the bourgeoisie/the 1%, you’re hurting the people on the ground who are trying to make an honest living and NEED their jobs.
Fuck off with your false sense of entitlement and fuck you for making this post to try and ease your guilty conscience.
It always gets me when MRAs bring up the draft as an example of discrimination against men. Yes, it’s true that no woman in America has ever been subject to conscription in times of war; however, being that the most recent draft was in 1973, most likely neither have you. If you get to drag up stuff that happened before you were born, so does everybody else – and I’m pretty sure the ladies are going to win that particular game of misery poker.
BAM.
Also, considering the draft was voted into law by Congress in 1940 but the first woman was elected to Congress in 1973, men only have themselves to blame. We didn’t decide the rules of the draft. They did.
welp
Actually, the first woman was elected to Congress in 1916 and was in office in 1940. Her name was Jeanette Rankin.
She was also a lifelong pacifist. She opposed every declaration of war bll that crossed her desk, and her vote was the only one against the proposal to go to war with Japan, because “As a woman I can’t go to war, and I refuse to send anyone else.”
The men in Congress demanded she changed her vote and she refused. She was attacked by an angry mob and maligned in the press.
In 1889, Herman W. Mudgett built a hotel in Chicago in anticipation of the huge tourist boom that was expected with the upcoming 1893 World’s Fair. Except this wasn’t a normal hotel at all, it was a weird mystery fun house, with trapdoors, hidden stairways and surprise chutes to the basement.
Herman W. Mudgett was the real name of H.H. Holmes, America’s first ‘famous’ serial killer, who used the upper floors of his hotel to torture and kill hundreds of people – most of whom were women.
Holmes built sound-proof rooms in which his victims would die of starvation and thirst. He had built rooms with gas pipes that let him asphyxiate his victims. Some of his victims were
dissected, stripped of flesh, crafted into skeleton models and then sold to medical schools. He would also require some of his workers (who were also to become his victims) to take out life insurance which he was the beneficiary to.
Holmes was eventually caught and confessed to the crimes. The Murder Castle burned down shortly after Holmes’ capture and a post office was built on the site in 1938. It still stands today and is almost certainly haunted.
Here is a drawing of the Murder Castle by Holly Corden. It gives you a good idea of what the inside looked like.
