Genre media since the 1980s has become so painfully self-conscious.

tbh I think part of the appeal of anime for a lot of people is that it isn't full of this cringing embarrassment of the nature of what it is. It isn't constantly making fun of itself or apologizing for its existence, it's just straightforwardly doing the thing it's doing.

I still remember when in my dbt group when somebody said something negative about cops the therapist interjected "Hey! No political discussion allowed here." and then added on "The police work hard to protect us everyday."

Uh-huh. "No politics"

The audacity to say that when police are such a threat to disabled people, especially disabled people of color! To feel as if the police are protecting you comes from such a place of power/safety, and to act like it’s universal and true for all is ignorant as shit. Sorry that you had to put up with that…

dear fellow autistic people: if you consistently come out of doctor’s appointments feeling emotionally (and sometimes physically) hurt, but you feel bad for feeling hurt because “the doctors were being nice”, the doctors were not being nice.

this is something I had to learn the hard way. doctors often dress up their words all pretty so you can’t sue them. I, for a long time, mistook this as genuine kindness. It’s not. It’s just being professional. even if they didn’t call you a slur or anything that doesn’t mean they weren’t ignoring your needs.

trust what your body and emotions tell you. if you are feeling hurt, there is a reason, and you need to listen to it. please listen to it.

Homelessness is state violence. The state is capable of ensuring universal housing, and actively chooses not to. Any decision made by the state that materially harms its people is violence.

listen to me, this is so so important: you've gotta get used to really giving it your 60% as a default. like don't half-ass it necessarily but try not to go over 70% or so of an ass. you'll feel better and live a happier more fulfilled life, and on the rare occasions where you do need to lock the fuck in you'll be able to pull off bullshit that the sad miserable wretches giving it their 100% can never dream of, because they're busy draining themselves dry and you have energy reserves to spare.

On April 8 we celebrate the death of Margaret Thatcher, and remember all the lives she destroyed.

July 25, 2024 - This week we celebrate the life of Cathy Rutherford, the amazingly fierce lady with the umbrella in the video above. Your hatred for Thatcher and refusal to be nice about it genuinely remains an inspiration 🫡 [link]

On July 13, 2019, Willem Van Spronsen was killed by police while taking action to disable the fleet of buses that serve the Northwest Detention Center, a private immigration detainment facility in Tacoma, Washington.

Willem's courageous action took place in response to Donald Trump announcing a surge in ICE activity. Afterwards, an ICE official reported that it compelled the agency to move more slowly and cautiously, likely protecting many communities.

Everyone should read or re-read Willem's final statement today:

"I stand with comrades around the world who act from the love of life in every permutation. Comrades who understand that freedom means real freedom for all and a life worth living."

ICE says agent shot and killed Houston driver, FBI investigating

The man refused multiple commands and tried running over an ICE officer, according to the agency.

[kropotkindersurprise]

"He tried to run over an ICE agent" or any cop really, is just never ever true. It's always the cop putting themselves in front of a car so they have an excuse to murder someone.
