"I (Hamas is bad) support (Hamas is bad) Palestinian (Hamas is bad) rights (Hamas is bad) to (Hamas is bad) freedom (Hamas is bad) from (Hamas is bad) genocide (Hamas is bad) & (Hamas is bad) to self-determination (Hamas is very bad, I denounce Hamas, don't hurt me!)"
Like that?
The Democratic party continually demands that people turn out and vote to fight an extreme right they themselves are never willing to fight. This is becoming obvious to people

People who understand community understand that whether or not you have a child, children are a communal obligation.
What you teach them matters to me. Whether they eat matters to me. I'm not a disinterested party & *crucially*, neither are they.
We all form a society together.
let me clarify a point. i want my tax dollars to feed every single kid in school from preschool through 12th grade. two meals a day. regardless of need. REGARDLESS OF NEED.
Deadnaming is exactly as Muhammad Ali described it — you know the difference between somebody making a mistake & somebody coming at you with disrespect.
The latter *always* pretends to be the former & gets frustrated by the simple fact that it's just not that difficult to tell.
Cis people: "You MUST disclose if you're trans — it's downright dishonest not to."
Trans people: "I'm trans."
Cis people: "What I don't really get is why they gotta ANNOUNCE it everywhere?!"
Trans people: "Ok, I won't tell you."
Cis people: "No, now I can't tell who's trans!"
J.K. Rowling: I will use every single dollar I receive to harm trans people
me: then I shall not give you dollars

I voted for Obama, Clinton, & Biden. I phonebanked for Bernie. I've protested, I've educated, I've donated to candidates, been to rallies, I've planted campaign signs, I've voted locally for judges & councilmen, & answered every call to "save democracy" while losing all my rights
Dems: We're the only ones who can stop it

Dems: But we're the only ones who can!

You can't release a statement *then* say you going to shut up to be the bigger man, that's not how being the bigger man works 🤣🤣
It's like Trump's, "if I were meaner I would call her ugly" or some nonsense lmao
Yeah I would, & she's not right. I get why she thinks she is, but she's not. It's not ableist in the sense of Funko Pop owners, it's ableist in the sense of restrictive categorization of "maturity" for which "Funko Pop owner" is used as synecdoche for "Adult w/ stunted maturity."
This is a lemon.
I'm familiar with lemons. I know what a lemon looks like. I've seen thousands of lemons over my life. I have no doubt whatsoever it's a lemon.
If you asked me to describe a lemon, I'd say it's a round, yellow fruit, which is true — but this is also a lemon.
Toph is queer or an ally because she did not even flinch attending a play about herself & finding she had been cast as a buff guy who sees using sonic screams, she was like, "That's fuckin' sick"
@ShakthiJ
1st🚩"I have a few Indian-American friends ... so I thought it was the same w/ her." Why? You know she's a separate person, right?
2nd🚩: What exactly do *you* make for *her*?
3rd🚩: Indian food ≠ "regular"
4th🚩: I won't give up anything, just you
Throw the whole man OUT 😂
"Not all white people are racist!!"
I know that because they're over HERE working with me while you're over THERE whining.
They're not in my mentions demanding education, spilling their shame, or sending me black fucking squares — they are doing the hard work to EVOLVE.

I regularly go to a punk bar, & fascists never actually show up there because they know there are baseball bats on the wall dedicated to their heads.
This is not a radical punk position.
@ADHDelaide
It's just shocking that they already know you have ADHD and would make the process of getting the medication something cumbersome for someone with that condition to do regularly.
Like, you KNOW I forget things, that's WHY I TAKE THIS.
"But it's not popula—”
Stop. Abolition wasn't popular, so that's your metric, y'all damn sure wouldn'tna been no abolitionists.
Popular is not how we determine right.
People called Will Smith an abuser cuz he slapped the shit out a dude raggin' on his wife & won't believe it's abusive to demand your girlfriend quit her job & you gotta approve her friends if it's Jonah Hill, it's a l m o s t like there's a d i s c r e p a n c y or something!
"Today, I'm gonna dunk on a sexually abused, drugged child star forced to participate in aggressively racist acts by every adult around her & eventually dying of that same induced addiction at 47 because I think that's the sort of thing my internet friends find funny or virtuous"
I'd like to zoom in on a distinction I make w/ random, frightened Karens & the police (same thing, really, just with authority): I believe them. I believe they have these irrational fears. I believe it literally physiologically affects them.
I also believe that's not my problem.
Imagine, if you will, a man who pulls up to an empty plaza with a small moving van. He meticulously unloads pieces of wood, rope, & metal, one by one, not seeming to be in any great rush. The police greet him yet ask nothing, & when I do, he says that he's building a guillotine.

@laezerbean
She wanted me to fudge the address of the delivery of a refrigerator to a different one, & when I had trouble, my boss explained to me that was bc it was fraud (she was trying to get an energy bill benefit from a nearby municipality that didn't apply to hers.) Yes, she also was.
Journalism class: What's wrong w/ this headline?
Rewrite: "Video shows police waited 22 minutes to take Tyre Nichols to hospital after beating him in Memphis"
Didn't even break a sweat. If 17 words & 98 characters is too far above 14/90, you write like this because you want to.
Reactions to that girl complaining about her commute mirrors reactions to horror on genocide in an important way — it is in hegemony's interest to demonize being unable to cope unflinchingly to the demands of capital & white supremacy as simply being a defective kind of person.

And it foments fears about doing so not based in commodification (like CouchSurfing) by hitting anxieties like safety or quality while not contending with the fact the entire underlying AirBnB market lacks the regulation necessary to make those guarantees, & often offers less.
This is one of those rare opportunities where you can do something good by doing absolutely nothing, continue doing that, you all are doing nothing exceptionally well ✊🏿❤

no, the bully deserves to go down at that point.
ain't no "everybody" ain't no "break it up" there is "talk shit, get hit" and "don't start none, won't be none" Everybody's fine with you tolerating singular abuse for specific reasons, & wanna collectivize when you throw hands
Transphobia's like heart attacks — it presents differently in different people, especially across genders.
Cis men are more likely to murder trans people in cold blood & claim panic in court while cis women will just call trans people r*pists & p*dophiles till the men kill them.
Mr. Rogers both sued the KKK for impersonating him (and won) & invited a gay, Black actor on his show to play a police officer & share a refreshing wade in the pool together on a hot day in 1969, a period of roiling violence & racial tensions.
Revolution isn't always loud.
"Trans people are forcing cis people to sleep with them" is such a vicious lie when you consider the dating market probably sucks so hard a lot of them would not date cis people if they didn't have to & cis people also give them shit for that — they're already forced to date YOU.
When y'all water all -isms down to aggressive & overt acts signifying personal hatred or dislike, this is the result. People who cannot identify bigotry & as such scoff, "How could this POSSIBLY be related?"
I'll give you a hint—it's not because they're all Funko Pop owners.
It's because ableism, like its brothers & sisters racism or transphobia, isn't a static thing emanating from the mind of a bigot, but a parasite burrowed into a host that metastasizes throughout the organism.
So infantilization like, "You can't be a mature adult if X" has roots.
YOU lost my faith in you. Because every year my portion got smaller while the price of sacrifices went up. We remain on the tantalizing cusp of worlds heretofore unseen, but with *just* too little power to ever actually enact them into being without MORE.
It is deeply tempting for Democratic sycophants to paint everyone with an objection to their god king as insincere, weren't going to vote for him anyway, do nothing leftists who don't know how government works, because it insulates them from admitting HE squandered their faith.
Nobody else like their representations because they take themselves so seriously, Toph hears a guy say, "My name's Toph because it sounds like 'tough,' and that's what I am," and thought, "Yes, this is how I see myself, I'm a big tough guy who's the greatest" & she really is😂❤
People tried to defend Morocco in the same way when I was kidnapped, "It wouldn't have happened if we had known he was American, we thought he was an African migrant"
"so this is what you do to African migrants"
"... no."
Nobody said "Don't speak ill of the dead" when Betty White died, cuz maybe when you're not a piece of shit in life, people speaking their mind about you means they'll say nice stuff.
As a neurodivergent person, the need to eat is my least favorite part of being human. I am a brain in a jar ... until I am painfully reminded that is not true.
@conureCC
They will literally drive them to [redacted] and be like, "Oh, so sad, we're crushed, it was probably because he was trans, you know how hard it is ... specifically how hard I intentionally made every single day of his life. That's just how it goes sometimes. You never know."
This lemon grew differently.
I don't really know why, but I know it has to do with the combination of air, the nutrients in the earth, the tree it grew on, the type it is, the way it was cared for, & a little bit of existential randomness, but once again — this is 100% a lemon.
Black boys supposed to get out the hood through initiative alone but we don't even expect white ones to have the fortitude necessary not to pick up Mein Kampf lmao
Actually, Oscar the Grouch teaches children just because somebody seems a certain way (Grouchy) or lives in a certain condition, we're supposed to treat everyone with respect, & sometimes you find out that he's not scary at all.
Pretty good message for children's programming. 💁🏿♂️
"Aww, what's the matter? Baby got a real job?? Wah wah."
Crabs in a bucket clamoring for moral superiority, cookies from the monster, & head pats for killing themselves without ever questioning why they're being worked to death & by whom, finding it easier to shun weak links.
Christians: This is Jesus, read this & pay attention, this is deadly serious
Me: Holy shit, ok

Me: Yes, I am now profoundly convicted it's our obligation to care for the homeless, sick, needy, orphans, & foreigners
Christians: You INTERNALIZED it?!
They're broke, Nani works exploitourism, Lilo finds comfort in Stitch because he's weird & the people colonizing her home feel so entitled to it *she's* weird, not to mention a literal government agent further harming them personally as Hawaii nationally — that's w/o this scene.
yall don’t remember how nani would get laid off of jobs for seemingly random reasons and lilo would get bullied by the white girl in her class and the fact that someone called cps on them in the movie for seemingly no reason — all this happened BEFORE stitch came into the picture
@catestrophey
Also, instead of providing targeted help, it's an obsession w/ finding the totally safe space—which doesn't exist. It's about helping people in need, not viewing the spaces we occupy as places unaffected by outside societal woes (that we can fight better if we acknowledge them).
"I think it's fucking gross that I, as an educator, am often the first person to accept your child and not you." — Me talking about trans kids while drunk
One or two gentle questions usually sorts it out, and you're not as good a liar as you think you are because out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

Lightly interspersed with mind-numbing discourse about whether or not a certain apartheid diamond baron is an "African-American."
if this was gay, they would chant "lock them up," call this part of the attack on traditional Western values, call them groomers & child abusers for doing it in the presence of children, & say their sexuality is fine but they don't have to shove it down our throats all the time
@AidaAlami
I'll add one note: I am not here to correct anyone's impression of me. I am so grateful for those who are reaching out with support and I thank you deeply.

Objective criteria for lemons might be the color, the size, or the sour taste.
Are some lemons sweeter than others? Can they express different colors? Do their sizes vary lemon to lemon?
Then why don't we call them something else? Because there's no other word — that's a lemon.
That root is a taxonomic autocracy based on categories of exclusion, such that someone here was bullied in the 1970s for being autistic, but both they & their bullies lacked the vocabulary for why that was the case, making associations with glasses, model trains, or collections.
I love Allan because he is silently competent. Look, it's not his preference, but if someone NEEDS to throw hands for us to escape Barbieland, he *can*.
Allan's in control in a way Ken *spirals* out of — his soul's properly adjusted & he's got himself (not Barbie) under control.

It's so funny & depressing how effective the Left is & how much the Liberals will sacrifice to keep it from being that way.
There are bars, restaurants, neighborhoods, & sometimes entire cities that make fascists shit their pants & they DON'T come back to visit.
They visit you.
What gives anyone the right to treat people who are not American this way?
No one should be treated like this, and when it happens to you, you're not confused about why.
Think about that before you book that plane ticket.
This lemon, for example, is exhibiting some evolutionary prowess in the shape department, but the rest of its attendant characteristics scream lemon — yellow, has tough skin to peel, & it's sour.
