WIP that is draining my life essence

[circuitsoldier]

the backrooms is a movie about the complexity of the human mind and mental illness and how recovering from trauma can feel like you’re running around a maze with no hope of escape, until one day you either make it out by the skin of your teeth or you fully collapse and are devoured by the worst parts of yourself that then go on to try and destroy others. it’s also a cautionary tale about not fucking with the circuit breaker when you don’t know what you’re doing. i loved it and no i’m not being sarcastic.

I think people would be less suicidal if they were allowed to talk about being suicidal without risk of being sent to the Torture Dungeon

just found out that there is a sudanfunds website! like gazafunds, it is a compilation of funds for people facing genocide

edit: i've added the correct link to this version of the post. if at all possible, please try to reblog this version or direct back to it. for some reason, the original sudanfunds link i put is now defunct. the correct site is still called sudanfunds and is now back up, and that's what is now on this version of the post. hope this makes sense

my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government

[what-even-is-thiss]

I just had an argument with someone who was like “why would we settle for food stamps when we could have universal basic income?”

And it’s just like. People need food right now you know.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Hippie church moms donating quinoa chips to my local food bank have done more for me materially than any internet idealist ever has.

[what-even-is-thiss]

People get pissed at me for being a pragmatist in my political ideals but I’ve been in the position where I was out of food right now.

And who helped me with that? Not people calling for some nebulous revolution. Not people telling me that the system was useless. Not people preaching at me to grow my own food. It was a church food bank partially funded by the state of Texas that some southern hippies donated a bunch of Whole Foods nonsense to.

And you know what? I’m sick and tired of defeatism. What can we get done right now, huh? Are you gonna accept something a bit better to help people right now or are you waiting for your perfect utopia to come to you?

Yeah, UBI is better than the quinoa chips. Sure. But right now the quinoa chips are stopping people from going hungry and if all we can do is get the food bank quinoa chips to more people, then I say so be it. That’s something. I’ll almost always take baby steps over nothing.

#participating in these is a great way to build to bigger stuff#organizing starts with finding people open to change#and you bet someone suffering under poverty wants to see change (via @amorphousbloblin)

Also, fun fact: You can advocate for UBI and also donate to food banks! It does not invalidate your ideals to participate in a flawed system, I promise.
