July 28 - Follow up to this post. Stickers / Nikki, a trans teen and organizer, has been released by the NYPD. This is another view of her abduction by the police. She’s skateboarding by the white van in the bottom when they grab her. This is abduction. Video link.
NYPD abducted her because she allegedly damaged cop cameras at the city hall occupation literally over a month ago. this means that NYPD has been keeping track of visible activists and people at the occupation and at the protests in general, and are now identifying them and taking them on the street without even asking for formal identification. be careful, cover your face, dont let your identity be connected to any actions you take. btw this is her gofundme
If you’re an adult, do the stuff you couldn’t as a kid.
Like, me and my sister went to a museum, and they had an extra exhibit of butterflies. But it cost £3. So we sighed, walked past, then stopped. We each had £3. We could see the butterflies. And we did it was great. We followed it up with an ice-cream as well because Mum and Dad weren’t there to say no.
I was driving back from a work trip with 2 other people in their early 20s, and we drove past a MacDonalds. One of the others went “Aww man, I’d love a McFlurry.” And the guy driving pulled in to the drive through. It was wild. But it was great.
I went to a park over the weekend and I was thinking “Man, I’d love to hire one of those bikes and cycle round the park.” It took me a few minutes to go “Wait, I can hire one of those bikes!”
I guess what I’m saying is, those impulsive things you wanted to do as a kid - see the dinosaur exhibit, play in the fountains with the other kids, lie in the shade for 2 hours - you can do when you’re an adult. You have to deal with a whole lot of other bull, but at least you can indulge your inner 8 year-old.
