It sucks that that happened again, Cash. It doesn't make any sense. Wouldn't he be a better prisoner on his meds?

Yes! We need to let Vortex call someone! Those of us playing along at home need the vicarious gratification.

you rang? Also, one of my best friend is the liaision with the DC Courts and the DC correction system, so she can probably give me regulations and whatnot to argue with.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Sorry if this has passed through here before, but have you seen this article?
Recently, a blogger named Simon Owens ran a social experiment on Craigslist. He wandered into the "Casual Encounters" section of the personal ads where countless men and women were soliticing for no-strings-attached sex and wondered, Is it really that easy? As a test, he composed several ads with different permutations of assumed identity and sexual orientation: straight/bi men/women looking for the opposite/same sex. He then posted it to New York, Chicago, and Houston, and tallied the results.
The links aren't always safe for work but I believe the post I'm linking to is. It's pretty damn horrific, on a couple of different counts.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Sorry they're being asshats, Cashmere.
Meanwhile, I'm at home waiting for the side of my face to stop being numb. I got a cavity filled this afternoon. Oh, joy...

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Man. There goes my weekend plans.

Now tagless for your comfort.

My twin sister is a lawyer--so we're covered on the legal end. We called the doctor's office and they're typing up some doctor's orders for my parents to take to the sherriff at the jail. Hopefully, that will work--and convince them to call in the nurse on the weekend to give him his injection. If not, I'll have to pursue other options.
It sucks that that happened again, Cash. It doesn't make any sense. Wouldn't he be a better prisoner on his meds?
Yup. Which is why it pisses me off. WE do ALL the legwork to make their jobs easier. We deliver his medication, we monitor his behavior and tell someone if he seems even slightly off, BEFORE he goes psychotic and could hurt himself, another inmate, or god forbid, a jailer or deputy (NOT GOOD). We're trying to keep him and them safe and we always have a fight. We always get shit for it.
Oh, well. I'm sitting tight until my Mom calls me and tells me that they've been successful in getting him medicated. I'm going to worry about it all weekend, though.

Letter to the editor, Cashmere, saying just that. Draft something up and send it off, cc'd to everyone who could possibly be affecting this shit.
