How and why I ended up in jail on November 13, 2023, during the Stop Cop City mass day of action protest

Summary: Dylan's life has always been a routine with very little deviation; it's tried and truly perfect. The perfect routine for the perfect town. The kids he went to kindergarten with are the exact same kids he'll graduate with next year. Nothing ever changes, until Emma moves in across the street. She is different from all of the other girls, with bright pink hair, total confidence and the tendency to speak up for herself, even when she should just stay quiet. Everyone shuns her, calling her names, pushing her in the hall. Everyone except Dylan. After being trapped in detention with Emma, he begins to learn more and more about her. He finds himself leaving the crowd more, something unusual for him. Can Emma help him to stand out for once, even when he's spent his entire life just blending in? Excerpt: We don't say anything else about it, and everyone continues as though the last few minutes never happened. Nothing like that happens in Oakland, at least it never gets seen, and it always gets ignored. You only see the perfect parts. How we all get really great grades because our school system is one of the best in the country. No one commits suicide, no one gets busted for doing drugs. Those things never get recognized, always hidden from the public eye. In the public's view everyone always looks the same, acts the same, thinks the same. Always.

"You've got to cool down on all this black lives matter stuff baby. You're fighting so hard yet these officers out here are still going to do what they wanna do. I'm not going to lose you at one of these not so peaceful protests. I know you care, but they'll get what comes to them in due time." "Tell me this, Meech, if it were you laying in a casket, six feet under, would you still want me to "cool down" on it? Or would you want me and all the other black lives matter advocates to get you the justice that you so graciously deserve?" He sighed, raking his fingers in his low cut hair in defeat as he plopped down on the edge of my bed. Though he knew I was right, he would never admit it, his ego would never allow him to. I stood between his legs and hugged his head as his cheek pressed against my stomach and his arms wrapped around me. My left cheek rested on the top of his head as his grip on me tightened and I kissed his crown of his head and released my grip on him. I headed to my night stand and grabbed my gallon of milk, took one last look a my discombobulated boyfriend, before blowing him a sweet kiss, and headed to the protest that was taking place near campus. It's not as if Demetrius didn't know what he was getting himself into, after all, we did meet at a black lives matter protest.

╰┈➤ What Are Protest Poems? Protest poems are poems that speak out against things the writer feels are unfair or wrong. They express strong feelings about problems in the world or in personal life. These poems give a voice to frustration, hope, or anger, and invite readers to think differently or pay attention to important issues. They don't have to follow strict rules-they just need to be honest and passionate. જ⁀➴ ♡

When some people decide to ruin Mark and Ethan's rather awesome day, little do they know how far they will go to make sure they regret it. (Based on this series of glorious gifs which honestly, I could see both Mark and Ethan doing if Ethan was slightly braver: https://hardychick89.co.vu/post/190092160709 )

Since the annual and averaged Stardust checks in every individual on Earth on 2015, Thomas Thomson has had to deal with his body being probed since he was 5. At 15, his mother left for a job opportunity, never coming back. A job about Stardust. Eventually, he got into college, learned space science, eventually got his degree and lived a life in England. A brother who picked on him, a friend who supported him and his anger issues taking control. All this time, he thought nothing of the Stardust checks. Until the day it happened. A poll, an announcement stating that the Earth would soon be nothing but ashes. Everyone with Stardust counts over 50% would be able to survive into space, able to go to the planet Proxima Centauri. Thomas didn't know how to feel. His whole life he has been probed for this? Why? Why so sudden? But, when he gets his name polled as some of the many to go on the mother ship into space called PEGASUS, most accept this new reality. A utopia, a deemed life for those picked to live. But Thomas knew, under all of the lies and the strange reappearance of his long lost mother, there was something more than this dark, utopian society that was suddenly thrusted upon him. ------- Cover done by @wackypineapple
