therapyspeak jigsaw: are you in the right headspace to play a game that could possibly hurt you?

therapyspeak jigsaw: i’m not your therapist, it’s not my job to explain to you why you’re being lowered into the acid vat

therapyspeak jigsaw: well now you’re guilt tripping me by screaming for help

I keep seeing posts claiming that x y or z action you can do to build a better world won’t matter. That capitalism doesn’t care, and your own actions dont amount to much.

It’s so painfully individualistic. Of course me doing that thing isn’t going to save anybody or anything.

Im not trying to be a superhero who personally saves the say.

I am one leaf making oxygen in a massive forest of other trees making oxygen. I am doing my best and having faith that millions of others will do their best as well.

Because that can and has made big changes over time. Like. That is just how change happens. Thats cultural shifts. Thats political shifts. Thats how lasting changes happen.

I don’t plant milkweed because I’m personally gonna save monarch butterflies. I plant milkweed because I know thousands of us are gonna plant milkweed and send money to the people fighting horrible pesticides in court.

The standard for change isn’t “is my doing this going to change the world?” The standard is “is my doing this part of the shift I want to see my community make?” And if the answer is yes, I do my best.

humans should be able to do a special Ultra Sleep after major life accomplishments where you're just out for like 32 hours or something and then you wake up fully refreshed in every way

was watching idk watch the video by philosynoir about the racialization of pit bulls and saw this discussion happening in the comments

this is such a perfect example of something I am often trying to articulate to people--the more blunt and violent expressions of people's beliefs in eugenics and race science are often revealed in how they discuss domesticated animals.

you will hear people talk about "pure breeding" or about personality being genetic or openly and uncritically advocating for "mercy killing" as the solution to disability, etc.

these beliefs do not stay contained to conversations on other animals. if you believe this is how life works & buy into these forms of bioessentialist genetic valuation, and you understand humans are also living beings, then you will apply these things to humans too.

one cannot believe in eugenics in one area and have it stay there. it always becomes the "common sense" applied to all sorts of areas of life, from the interpersonal to the international.

ppl who trash on vegans r always soooo funnyyyy bc they genuinely seem to believe they're, like, punching up against this oppressive regime, challenging the mainstream in beautiful defiance, whole time they're just upholding and reinforcing widely accepted social norms

“Drake and Pollan are also wrong to suggest that animals are not telling us what they want. Roy's phrase "the preferably unheard" is far more apt. Animals consistently voice preferences and ask for freedom. They speak to us every day when they cry out in pain or try to move away from our prods, electrodes, knives, and stun guns. Animals tell us constantly that they want out of their cages, that they want to be reunited with their families, or that they don't want to walk down the kill chute. Animals express themselves all the time, and many of us know it. If we didn't, factory farms and slaughterhouses would not be designed to constrain any choices an animal might have. We deliberately have to choose not to hear when the lobster bangs on the walls from inside a pot of boiling water or when the hen who is past her egg-laying prime struggles against the human hands that enclose her legs and neck. We have to choose not to recognize the preference expressed when the fish spasms and gasps for oxygen in her last few minutes alive. Considering animals voiceless betrays an ableist assumption of what counts as having a voice—an assumption that many disabled and nondisabled people alike often make about animals.”
