I Cannot Keep Having The Same Conversations--

O H!

i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake

ik its not a curse or swear word but tell me something, as a floridian/east coast inhabitant:

bastard sounds great in an irish accent. if an irish person calls you a 'daft bastard' it just feels right

the welsh have the monopoly on things ending in hell. fuckin hell and bloody hell hit different in a welsh accent. its like music to my ears

the scots have piss and shite for sure. "its pishin it doon out there" "this is a load of shite" absolute poetry

if i may speak for the english i think we do penis related words very well. dickhead, knobhead, twat, etc.

and for all the shit we give them, you gotta admit that no one can deliver a 'goddamn' quite like an american. theres a certain weight to it that you just cant achieve in other accents. when an american says goddamn you know shit just got real

going down a rabbit hole about Another Thing looking for The First Thing, ADHD culture right here

"every possible kind of content can be found on the internet" yeah sure except for the One fucking thing I'm looking for. why does no one want to talk about the One Singular thing I'm looking for. but yeah other than that everything is on here.

People love characters with low / no empathy or are apathetic about everything until they actually meet someone like that. Suddenly the person in question is horrible and abusive.

Apollo: You disgust me.

Hermes: *eating a kitkat sideways* And?

I'm pretty sure that it's perfectly normal to sometimes have an occasional, random, vague little worry that you were molested as a kid and completely blocked out any memory of it, and now have no way to ever find out. Everyone thinks about that sometimes.

there's a lesson that people dont seem to have learned which is insane to me if you've watched game of thrones bc my queen mother Lady Olenna said it herself,

"sometimes we must ally with our rivals to defeat our enemies",

or something to that effect.

the seven kingdoms were fighting a war over the iron throne, while a millions-strong undead army marched towards civilization in an attempt to conquer it. no one focused on the undead army part early enough tho, because they were too busy fighting and killing each other over who got to be in charge.

you may despise conservatives, Cheeto voters or the Republican party itself, you may even hate them. its a valid perspective to have, BUT

those people are, at the baseline, in the same position as you - at one point they may have been misinformed and misguided by the system, their families, their churches, etc. etc. and they are fighting wholeheartedly for what they believe is right. some of those people are now finally deconditioning themselves from those positions because they are seeing, watching, LEARNING that the system does not infact favor them if they are not part of the 1%, and they are seeing, watching, LEARNING that the things they voted for that they thought didn't affect them do infact impact them majorly, because of the fact that

it is NOT left vs. right, it is UP VS. DOWN.

i understand the urge to shame people for participating in the oppression and discrimination that has been happening for centuries in this country, and some of the people im talking about DO deserve it because they REFUSE to change, BUT

refusing to celebrate those people who have only just been truly introduced to our side of things, to our perspectives and experiences is counterproductive. im not saying be nice to bigots, i'm saying be welcoming to ex-bigots and educate them in a way that doesn't make it seem like you're looking down on them for not knowing - thats what the government is doing to immigrants, trans folks and disabled individuals.

we will do more damage as a united front. dont immediately attack; if you see a good fighter on someone else's team, the best way to move is to get them on yours instead.

I think it’s important to note that in the US there’s been a lot of older people, conservatives, people from red states, and Drump voters themselves participating in protests and pushing back in town halls. Conservative judges are ruling against the current administration.

You don’t have to like these people but I want to emphasize that when fighting against authoritarianism it doesn’t help to be picky with your allies. Keep going to protests and if former Drump voters join you in those protests, good.

Hey! 😊

I hope you're doing well.

II’m reaching out with something really close to my heart. A dear friend and his family are going through an incredibly hard time.

They urgently need support, and even the smallest act of kindness — a share or donation — could make a life changing difference.

This is about compassion, about standing by each other when it matters most. 💛

Thank you so much for taking a moment to care 🙏
