                       !!!!!!!!! BREAKING NEWS !!!!!!!!!!

The Tennessee Supreme Court ruled former sex slave Cyntoia Brown MUST serve 51 years in prison before she is eligible for parole.

According to them:

“In today’s unanimous decision, the Tennessee Supreme Court explained that, under state law, a life sentence is a determinate sentence of 60 years,” the court wrote. “However, the sixty-year sentence can be reduced by up to 15 percent, or 9 years, by earning various sentence credits (good behavior. & getting involved in prison based education programs while incarcerated) Therefore, the Supreme Court concluded that a defendant serving a life sentence for a first-degree murder committed on or after July 1, 1995, may be eligible for release after serving at least 51 years of the sentence.“

For those of you who haven’t yet caught up to this story:

Cyntoia Brown was a 16 yr old girl, who at the time of the incident was living in a room at a Nashville InTown Suites with Allen (the man who propositioned her for sex) because her pimp and boyfriend Garion McGlothen, nick-named “Kut Throat,” insisted that she needed to earn money.

Kut Throat abused her physically and sexually throughout the approximately three week period in which she lived with him.

After Allen took her to his house, he showed Cyntoia multiple guns, including shotguns and rifles. Later in bed, as she described in court, he grabbed her violently by the genitals, his demeanor became threatening and, fearing for her life, she took a gun out of her purse and shot him.

Talking up a storm about Adora and Catra (link to Mastodon thread) only confirms my initial impression that Catradora is Finn/Slip if they had been a lot closer and Slip had lived (there’s also a lot of Nines and Zeroes in Catra, too). Despite what some random anti-anti yelled at me before blocking me (wtf?), Catradora isn’t about one of them abusing the other but rather about two victims who were torn apart by favoritism, fell into an unhealthy but stable dynamic as a result, and are still dealing with the fallout.

Filed under: things I thought I’d already uploaded but hadn’t – Galaxy Pronoun Pins!

I thought I’d uploaded these ages ago but then an astronomy prof on Twitter brought up our galaxy pins and, uh, I realized I hadn’t – so I did! Today is the last day to order printed items for domestic US Xmas delivery – all of our items are custom made so we can’t guarantee anything ordered after the 9th will get to you by the 24th. 

So! Snag yourself some starry, starry pride. ❤ 

what fake leaks? all i’ve heard is the one with rey’s lightsaber and kylo’s mask, which also has those two as the central plot and movie climax with finn and poe off doing whatever for the whole movie

themandalorianwolf:

Yeah, those leaks about Finn and Poe going off on an unrelated subplot are bloody bs. It’s A. too early for leaks with the filming timeline and B. John and Daisy already confirmed they’d be shooting together, and that will talks that John and Adam were sword training together and that Gleeson said he had been filming with Adam so far, I think it’s safe to say that any leaks of separation are Reylow propaganda. 

I ceartainly hope you’re right.
