[kira 🍉 | nikki freeman’s lawyer @wickshorror]

obsession taught me lots of men think rape is only when a man forces himself on a woman, they aren't educated enough or don't care enough to admit there are many ways men commit rape, taking away someone's autonomy for your own pleasure is rape, bear raped nikki, no ifs or buts

This is Ronaldo Salgado & his beloved father was shot & killed by ICE in Houston after a traffic stop. His father Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was 52 year old Construction Worker who picking up his coworkers. He lived in the U.S for 30 years & was getting his work permit.

[raf @zoeyduatch]

seeing this and thinking (again) about the fact that bear killed himself not to rid nikki off being under the control of his wish, but to rid HIMSELF of the consequences of his own actions… and now SHE pays the price? he’s a coward from the start of the movie until the very end.

Jury duty letter came addressed to my cat.

Not a mistake. "Felix Martinez" - that's his full name according to his vet records.

My last name. His first name. Somehow he's a registered voter now.

Called the county clerk.

Me: My cat got summoned for jury duty.

Clerk: Is the name correct on the summons?

Me: Yes, but he's a cat.

Clerk: Is Felix Martinez a legal resident of this county?

Me: He's a legal cat.

Clerk: Sir, if the name matches our records, he needs to appear or file an exemption.

Me: He can't file anything. He has paws.

Clerk: You can file on his behalf.

Me: Under what exemption? There's no box for "is a cat."

Clerk: (pause) Check "unable to serve due to medical reasons."

Me: What's the medical reason?

Clerk: He's a cat.

Me: That's not a medical condition.

Clerk: It is if it prevents him from serving.

Sent in the form. Got rejected two weeks later.

"Insufficient documentation. Please provide medical professional's statement."

Took the letter to my vet.

Me: I need you to write that my cat can't do jury duty.

Vet: Why is your cat summoned for jury duty?

Me: Excellent question. No good answer.

Vet: This is the weirdest request I've gotten.

Me: Can you just write that he's medically unfit to serve?

Vet: On what grounds?

Me: He's a cat.

Vet: (started typing) "Patient is unable to serve due to species-related limitations including inability to speak, read, or comprehend legal proceedings."

Me: Perfect.

Sent it in. Got another rejection.

"Summons is mandatory. Failure to appear will result in contempt of court."

My roommate thought this was hilarious.

Roommate: Felix is going to jail.

Me: This is serious.

Roommate: Bring him to court. See what happens.

Decided that was actually the only option left.

Day of jury duty, put Felix in his carrier. Brought the entire paper trail of rejection letters.

Checked in at the courthouse.

Clerk: Name?

Me: Felix Martinez.

Clerk: (looked at the cat carrier) Is that Felix?

Me: Yes.

Clerk: (long stare) He's a cat.

Me: I've been saying that for six weeks.

Clerk: Why didn't you file an exemption?

Me: I filed three. All rejected.

Showed her the letters. She read through them, expression shifting from confusion to disbelief.

Clerk: Someone rejected the veterinary documentation?

Me: Twice.

Clerk: (called her supervisor over) You need to see this.

Supervisor read everything. Looked at Felix. Looked at me.

Supervisor: How did a cat get registered to vote?

Me: You tell me.

Supervisor: This is a data error.

Me: Took you six weeks to figure that out.

They dismissed Felix immediately. Apologized for the inconvenience.

Supervisor: We'll remove him from the voter registry.

Me: Appreciate it.

Supervisor: (pause) Out of curiosity, how would he have voted?

Me: Probably whatever party supports universal treats.

Got a formal apology letter a week later and a voter registration card.

For me this time. Apparently I wasn't registered, but my cat was.

Roommate: Felix committed voter fraud.

Me: Felix committed nothing. He's innocent.

Roommate: That's what they all say.

Felix is sleeping on the jury summons now.

Fitting end to his legal career.

She was a 25 year old lawyer in Ayacucho, Peru when her boyfriend attacked her in a hotel in July 2015. The security cameras captured everything. Him chasing her. Dragging her by the hair. Her screaming for help while hotel staff tried to intervene. The court watched the footage.
Then sentenced him to one year suspended for minor injuries. The more serious charges - dropped. She refused to accept it. She went public. Put her name and her face to everything. Took the fight to the media, to the courts, to the streets. On August 13 2016 half a million Peruvians marched through Lima. The largest demonstration in the history of Peru. Led by her.
The appeals court threw out the original verdict. He was retried. Convicted of attempted f3micide. Sentenced to 11 years in prison. She went on to become a member of Congress. Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Her name is Arlette Contreras. And she was just getting started.

Just a reminder for Disability Pride Month:

You aren’t inclusive of all disabled people if you don’t include severely mentally ill people. This includes people with “ugly disorders” like BPD, NPD, DID, ASPD, schizophrenia, bipolar 1, severe OCD, etc.
