I literally do not care what the Bible says about any political issue. I am not Christian. Christian scripture should have zero effect on my life or my personal freedoms.

“Today’s shopper has very little idea about how their clothes are made or what they’re made of. Our relationship with clothes and fabric has changed dramatically over the course of the last two centuries. We’ve gone from knowing how to make fabric, how to sew and repair clothes, to not knowing how to sew on a button. Usually this is painted as a story of decline: we don’t value the things we have and greedily buy more and more of what we don’t need. This might be the case, but it misses out the history of production from the side of the workers. Plus, we shouldn’t assume that our consumer needs are natural or fixed any more than capitalism itself is. This doesn’t mean we can easily abandon them though, but rather that marketing, social pressure, the expectation that our identity be expressed through consumption (and the evisceration of other avenues for its expression) conspire to make these ‘needs’ feel urgent and deep. The creation of new needs is part of capitalism’s hunger for growth, creating more and more commodities and felt-needs, expanding across more and more of the globe.”

the fact that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism is not an excuse to choose the least ethical option

"In a consumer society, contentment is a radical proposition. Recognizing abundance rather than scarcity undermines an economy that thrives by creating unmet desires. Gratitude cultivates an ethic of fullness, but the economy needs emptiness."

I just want to cup their faces and say lovingly "there are no sluts, there are no bimbos, there are no nags. they don't exist."

As we enter a new year, take a moment and consider the many reasons it’s good to be a thinking, feeling human being living on such a special planet.

Bats can hear shapes. Plants can eat light. Bees can dance maps. We can hold all these ideas at once and feel both heavy and weightless with the absurd beauty of it all.

Your body is not a house, it is not a vehicle, it is not a machine with interchangeable parts. There is no separation of you and your body; without your body, there is no you. Your experience of the world is a full-body event: here are your sense organs to collect the stimuli, here are the nerves to convey them, here is the brain to interpret and create impulses, here are the chemicals that cause your stomach to flutter, your eyes to tear up, your heart to race and slow. You are a collection of blood and muscle and fat and nerves and bone that is uniquely aware of itself and able to impact the world around it. You are the product not of divine creation, but of a series of cosmic coincidences and ancestors who shaped the evolution of a species by seeing patterns, by making tools, by creating language, by helping each other. Here are your hands to hold someone else's. Here is your throat to laugh and sing. Here you are.

i like when people go “why would you harass someone for nudes lol there’s so much free porn 🤪🤪” as if giving every small male child instant access to an infinite library of internet pornography is not the reason they feel entitled to having access to the bodies of all their female peers, too

It is good for the soul to microdose being a hater....so long as one remembers to always macrodose minding ones own business....

“Women have another option. They can aspire to be wise, not merely nice; to be competent, not merely helpful; to be strong, not merely graceful; to be ambitious for themselves, not merely for themselves in relation to men and children. They can let themselves age naturally and without embarrassment, actively protesting and disobeying the conventions that stem from this society’s double standard about aging. Instead of being girls, girls as long as possible, who then age humiliatingly into middle-aged women, they can become women much earlier – and remain active adults, enjoying the long, erotic career of which women are capable, far longer. Women should allow their faces to show the lives they have lived. Women should tell the truth.” Susan Sontag - The Double Standard of Aging (1972)

“THE WORLD IS increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn’t very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? How do you sell an anti-ageing moisturiser? You make someone worry about ageing. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind. To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not be good for business.”

All five of the nation's largest producers of jet fuel are on that list of 100 corporations. This is the single most abused statistic on the internet, like do people really think companies are just running Pollution Machines that have nothing to do with anyone's consumption patterns?
