This needs to be heard so I'm bringing it onto Tumblr.

Kelly Marie Tran is a wonderful actor and person who does not deserve the hate she received and the subsequent minimisation of her role. I loved Rose Tico in TLJ and was extremely upset to see how small of a role she played in ROS.

the ultimate joke is on J.K. Rowilng because while she might be a TERF and deny the very existence of trans people, the very characters she wrote wouldn’t agree with her. you cannot tell me that Harry, a boy abused for most of his childhood and then constantly ostracized for being different, or Luna, someone who found the quiet strength in being herself despite everyone telling her she shouldn’t be, would not be 100% accepting and loving of trans people. there absolutely are trans students at Hogwarts, students who are loved and appreciated and allowed to be themselves. the Sorting Hat believed the most important indication of where you should be sorted is where you WANT to be sorted. gender is your personal expression and identity of it, regardless of what society told you when you were born. to all my trans and nonbinary friends out there, it isn’t up to a sorting hat to pick your house or for J.K. Rowling to determine your gender; it is up to YOU. help will always be given to those who ask for it at Hogwarts.

Is it "Happy Impeachment" or "Merry Impeachment"? I don't wanna offend anyone.

People in their 20s through 40s: I still have nightmares about school sometimes.

School System: This is normal. I see no problem here.

[luidilovins]

Two years. After graduation I would wake up with a panic attack if I heard loud vehicles like garbage trucks outside my window because I thought I overslept and missed the bus.

My younger sister enters high school and one time my mom asked my sister if she had her homework done. And I thought my mom was talking to me and I blurted out "HOLY SHIT I FORGOT." I was shaking for a good 20 minutes from the adrenaline. I hadn't had homework in three years.

Several years out of high school I get anxious going to the bathroom at my job thinking my manager or supervisor is going to stop me and give me shit for slacking off or not asking permission. I hold it for hours on end. I drink less water.

Four years after graduation I show up to work with a 104 degree fever. I'm pulling a pallet and pass out from exasution. It doesn't last long and I'm still okay.

To this day I hear people giggling and assume they're laughing at me. I assume everyone is going to treat me like a highschooler would. Or worse a teacher. When I'm pulled into an office I assume I'm getting into trouble. I'm terrified of people asssuming I'm stupid or lazy or a flake.

I graduated in 2014.

Now lets step back and think about how all of this serves the interests of capital. Our formative years are spent making us deathly terrified of lateness, and fulfilling basic human needs at the expense of productivity. It makes us cowardly and submissive in the face of authority. It drives us into work sick and gives a psyche that always pesters us with "why aren't you doing more"?

Schools are like THAT for a reason

Imagine how much more he would make in those 10 seconds if he pissed in a Gatorade bottle

Amazon also doesn’t pay anything in federal taxes and a lot of their workers are on government assistance. That’s really fucking cool. that’s where government regulations should kick in.
