@Totalanimefan: Thanks for the offer.
I might take you up on it sometime, but right now I don't really need anything.
I just bought a few commons earlier and am still sitting on 16k that idk what to do with.

Hopefully your trip to the mall is safe and simple!
I tried going to our mall a few weeks ago, but it was packed and nobody was following social distancing or wearing a mask so I just left.
Luckily I didn't really need anything, I just wanted to try and find some new clothes, but I can do that online or just wait.

Right now I am just listening to music and trying to get a few more chores done before my boyfriend wakes up.
I was up all night since I woke up at 5pm (my sleep schedule is always a mess lol) so I could have done it sooner, but I procrastinated everything.
I can't help that I'm lazy. xD

@Lina: Thank you!
I love my post art too, it was such a cute avatar while I had it.





@Totalanimefan: Hi. I am in your charity thread now, because it's also a hangout.
At least that's what I heard lol.

Sup?

@Totalanimefan:
Thank you both for the offers.
I'm always open for chatting, I've just forgotten how to even socialize online internet at this point lol.
I keep thinking I should make a hangout thread to make it easier, but I always worry it'll just end up dying.

I am here too! I just don't post a lot because... I just don't?
I don't really have an excuse lol.

Mostly I just trip over nothing.
I'm not very coordinated on my feet.

My boyfriend fell down hard while playing with the dogs the other day.
I kinda felt bad because my initial reaction was to laugh, but he wasn't hurt so it's all good.

Posted in Riots? Posted 4 years ago
Someone was just shot and killed in my city in the past few hours.
No confirmation on whether they were shot by an officer or civilian so far.
They're using tear gas and pepper bullets at multiple locations.
I'm listening to the police scanner and it's freaking me out.

I live in Iowa, not in a major city, stuff like this doesn't normally happen here and large-scale protests aren't really a thing.
All of the protests before now that have happened in the past week have been larger than usual (in the hundreds), but peaceful.
I don't even know what happened tonight, but we're in a state of emergency and no one can leave home.
People started looting at some point, but I'm not sure if it was before or after the shooting.

According to the scanner, police are questioning and detaining anyone they see out whether they're involved or not.
Earlier they expressed that they would arrest first and ask questions later if they have to, releasing anyone who wasn't involved once it's calmed down.
The closest riot location is about half a mile from my house.
Plus they are investigating a group that has gathered at a nearby gas station.

Sorry if my thoughts are coming out scattered, a lot is happening here right now.

~Edits are under the spoiler.~
They're updates of the situation going on here that others may not be interested in, so I've hidden them.


edit;; National Guard may have been called in and given permission to use force.
It's an unconfirmed rumor, but we already have police force from all of the surrounding cities called in for backup and they still need more, so I could see it being true.
I really hate all of this and I hope that everyone is able to stay safe through the night.

another edit;; Confirmation on the scanner that they're "bringing in humvees".
I don't know whether that means they're National Guard though.
I'm unsure if the police force in the area has those type of vehicles or not.

yet another edit;; Apparently there were two separate shootings earlier and I missed one of them.
The second person who was shot is recovering in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Unsure as to whether they were shot by police or a civilian either, but they were at a different location where looting had been attempted.

The police also shot at a suspect just before 3 AM CST and are pursuing them now.
I'm unsure what they are suspected of, the audio has been very hectic.
They're in pursuit of another person in relation to the rioting who is armed in my aunt's neighborhood and was last spotted a couple blocks from there, so I'm following that closely.
A few people (unrelated to suspects they're in pursuit of) were just taken into custody for "filming and running their mouth".
The area near my own home has been cleared for now, but police are still on high alert.

I can't stop editing;; It's about 4:30 AM now and since my last update an officer has been shot and pursuits have moved back into my area, but overall the situation has calmed down.
I'm unsure of the officer's condition, but no death has been reported, so I'm assuming they're alive.
There's a lot less happening on the scanner now.
News outlets haven't been able to keep up with everything, so I can't find any official reports about most of the things that happened, even though I heard them in real time on the scanner.
They've said they will have official reports in the morning and that people should continue to shelter in place until further notice.
There was never any update on the National Guard coming in, so unless circumstances change I'll assume it was just a rumor.

So much has happened overnight, I can't even really wrap my head around it.
This post isn't even everything that happened and just the highlights of what I caught on the scanner.
I'll be interested to read an article with some sort of timeline of events when I get the chance because none of this makes sense.

Stay safe out there, everyone! ✌

final edit;; Confirmation that they're considering calling in the National Guard and we're getting a curfew.
They also confirmed some of the events of the night, but not much.

I lied, this is the final edit;; Here's a timeline for the major events of the night.
There were apparently 40+ major crimes reported last night, but these were the ones that escalated the furthest.

It's now around midnight the next night and we've been under curfew since 9 PM.
Nothing outside of the ordinary has happened as far as I'm aware.
There were some protesters breaking curfew, but from what I've heard, they dispersed quickly without incident.

Sometimes I come up with a story or connection between myself and my avatar, but not always.
My last avatar was just a cute thing that I came up with and liked, but there wasn't much else behind it.
I made the one I have now because I just wanted to sit in the sun barefooted and garden or something, and that's the vibe this avatar gave me.

I tend to throw things away unless they're memorable or useful,
so I don't think I have many "painful" things still lying around.

I used to keep more, but that stopped after I moved a few times and couldn't take everything with me.
It gets easier to let things go with practice.
