Yup. Trying to invalidate justified anger over the rich trying to get richer.

White people act a damn fool all loud and wrong all the time, but let a brotha lay it out and all of sudden our “tone” “attitude” “demeanor” is threatening. Fuck them.

thinking about “you haven’t met all the people who will love you” and like!!! you also haven’t found all the things that will make you happy!!!! there will always be new authors and musicians and artists whose work you will one day discover and love!!!! there will always be new hobbies and skills for you to learn and feel fulfilled by!!! there will always be new things around the corner that will bring sudden and unexpected happiness!!!!!!!!!!!

trump finalized auctioning off land in the arctic national wildlife refuge to oil and gas companies which would not only damage the ecosystem, negatively impact wildlife, and pollute one of the last environmental regions untouched by human greed but it would also disproportionately affect the Gwich’in who rely on the migration of caribou in that region.

reblog or maybe consider donating to the natural resources defense council on this?

[bauhauz]

btw it is not too late to reverse this. the nrdc has filed a lawsuit against drilling in the refuge. either contact your elected officials or donate to them so they can continue with the litigation and hopefully come out on top. biden has also said that he plans to permanently ban oil and gas companies from using public land and waters for resource extraction but he won’t be successful unless people actually fight for this.

if you are in high school and you follow me idc if you learn nothing else from me, but learn this: do not join the fucking military. they will promise you all sorts of things in exchange for joining their muder-system for a few years. do not listen to them. you won’t find a sense of purpose, you won’t find an adventure, you might not even get the money they promise you for college. if you survive, you’ll come back with blood on your hands, feeling just as aimless as before except knowing you’re a killer. the government will drop you like hot potatoes the second you are not useful to them, and you will be on your own with nothing but some ptsd and a more intimate understanding of the phrase “blood for oil.”

They also have a way of targeting POC as well as those who are in a family that isn’t doing well financially. Be wary of any and all recruiters.

They didn't do nothing.

They knocked on his door, he didn't answer so they determined she needed psychiatric evaluation and had her forcibly committed.

reminder that palestinians have once again been subjected to violence during the olive harvest, leaving many trees damaged and/or completely destroyed. b’tselem report here.

if you’re able, please join me in donating an olive tree sapling to attempt to repair some of the damage done over the last 70 years.

Oh they’re going to need salvation.

[socialistexan]

Not just making it illegal, but making being gay punishable with death.

[unified-multiversal-theory]

This is one of the many reasons why I walk by every single red bucket in the run-up to Christmas. They’re not getting my money, I don’t care how nice the people ringing bells are.

[auntiewanda]

Ever since the time they threatened to close all their soup kitchens in NYC if a law that did something as simple as allow companies to extend spousal benefits to their employee’s same-sex domestic partners I have refused to buy from them or donate to them. 

[willowofthehearth]

It’s that time of year again! In case people don’t know… the Salvation Army is shitty peoples.

Also, the married women are not paid (and therefore can’t qualify for assistance if they should ever divorce, etc). And worth “of course” less than a man.

“ In the Army’s case, the agreement for compensation is that the officer allowance be paid jointly to the husband—the check is written in his name. Officially, the wife is a “worker without expectation of remuneration,” and her husband receives 40 percent more of an allowance as a married man than he would as a single man. “

hey since that season is coming up again!

[fluffy-raccoon-artist]

To my American followers. Don’t support Salvation Army. Not only are they homophobic as shit, but I’ve also heard that they abuse a lot f homeless people. They only care about money, please don’t donate to them and give your money to charities that actually help people

[ourmissallison]

Never don’t reblog.

[whitmerule]

To be clear: this is specific to America. It is not necessarily going to be true for all countries. Please don’t boycott your own salvos without proper investigation: in many countries they do good work.

[colorsofsocialjustice]

Sorry but no, the Salvation Army was founded in the UK and even there still are homophobic as hell, to the point that they still refuse to let out gay people hold positions of power in the organisation. This is a callout for the whole group, not just the US. - Purple

[loverrrbearrr-deactivated202204]

AND Canadian salvation army is just as bad! the whole organization is rotten from the core! Canadians are not immune to bad organizations!

[strangest-hour]

My brother stayed in one of their shelters in the US. He’s gay, but he had nowhere else to go and had fallen on hard times. He did his duties and helped with cooking and cleaning like he was supposed to. One of the people at the shelter found out he had a boyfriend and kicked his ass out, giving him a FUCKING 24 HOUR NOTICE AND THATS IT. They kicked him out, knowing he had nowhere else to go literally bc he likes to kiss boys. Although they told him and my family that he was kicked out for “being disruptive”.

Fuck salvation army.
