  6. This documentary is about how elderly poor people in Japan are stealing for survival. These elderly people stated they are fed & that unlike in public - they are not judged as lesser than but treated more like equals, in prison.

    Unreported World is from Japan where prisons are becoming retirement homes for a growing number of elderly convicts. Krishnan Guru-Murthy investigates why a geriatric crime wave is gripping the country.

    As traditional multi-generational families break down, millions of elderly Japanese people are being left in isolation and poverty. With pensions failing to cover the rising cost of living, many are turning to petty theft to survive. As a result, Japan has seen a surge in elderly crime - one in four people arrested here are over 60.

    Guru-Murthy spends a day on the front line of this social crisis, joining Yu Itoh, a self-styled "G-man”, specialising in catching shoplifters. At a supermarket in Tokyo the store detective explains that up to 70 percent of those he catches are over 65, usually stealing everyday essentials.

    For some, like 94-year-old Fukuda, the desperation is so great they’ve committed serious crimes just to return to the warmth and security of a cell. But some elderly people are making novel uses of their age, selling their experience to young clients wanting an “instant grandma” to guide them in a modern Japan, where all generations are increasingly living alone.

    The government is now introducing rehabilitation programmes to give prisoners skills that will help them cope with life on the outside.

  7. \裁判傍聴に行こう!/
    7.13 エリザベスさんの難民不認定処分取消しを求める裁判

    昨年10月1日、エリザベスさんの2回目の難民申請は不認定とされました。

    しかし、祖国に帰れば身の危険があるエリザベスさんにとって、この結果は到底受け入れられるものではありません。この不認定処分の取消しを求め、今年3月13日に東京地方裁判所に提訴しました。

    もし仮にエリザベスさんが母国に強制送還されれば生命や迫害の恐れがあります。この裁判は絶対に勝ち取らなければなりません。

    あなたの傍聴が大きな力になります。是非、法廷へお越しください。

    また、裁判終了後に裁判報告集会を行います。ぜひご参加ください。

  9. CW: Big Merla, once again, this time it's all about Dong Song Sing Alongs. A condensed version of what women experience on social media from random dudes.

    Like, Big Merla using the power of song to convey so much and I am here for it. Disgust, horror, misgivings...Lewd dudes are fucking rude harassing random women on the web. Like sadly, it's sometimes part of the thrill for them to send their weens to ladies that never asked to see them.

    Which is why public naming and shaming is so fucking powerful, it curbs that kind of shit (except for those that have a kink for being humiliated). In 2026 there are still plenty of stories that women can tell of getting harassed by dudes with unsolicited dong pics.

    This is why teaching consent in age appropriate ways at all grades is so crucial. It helps define normal and regular boundaries between people, giving people words and tactics to defend their boundaries with.

    As a man, I rarely get unsolicited dick pics (often by mutual request, won't go too deeply into that to spare you and it's not relevant to the post).
