Stop spending money on war and lies and start spending it on ways to make this planet better.

[flerponius]

I saw someone’s argument against trying to stop global warming and it was literally “What if global warming is fake and we make the world a better place for no reason?”

I saw everyone on twitter tearing Emma Watson apart for saying she’s self - partnered instead of single and decided to watch her interview for British Vogue to know what the hell was she trying to say with that. I was very surprised to find a 30 minute video in which amongst other things she talks about the following:

She felt undeserving when she was appointed as UN Women goodwill ambassador and sought out Gloria Steinem to learn about feminist activism.

She thinks the criticism she received for being a white feminist was useful because it made her educate herself.

She says there’s a desperate need to reform the education system in the UK to change the way they are taught the history of how Britain has been involved in foreign affairs and how they profited from slavery.

She felt anxious about approaching 30 because there’s a lot of pressure to have a husband and a baby by then and she’s still figuring her life out.

She was so young when she was casted in Harry Potter that she doesn’t remember much of her life before it and she went to therapy to deal with her issues with fame. She used to feel very guilty for being unhappy because she thought she should enjoy fame more.

The interviewer is a transgender woman and they discuss transgender issues for a while. Emma is in regular contact with a trans child which makes the topic of trans rights emotional for her because she’s very anxious for this kid’s safety.

She talks about her role as Meg March in the new Little Women movie and defends that unlike what many people say choosing to be a wife and a mother doesn’t make Meg a less feminist character and quotes a line from the movie, “Just because my dreams are different than yours it doesn’t mean they are unimportant.”  

She wishes more people would realize she’s not Hermione Granger but also understands why they want to see that in her because Hermione is a symbol for her too.

She used to think she could never be happy without a partner and now that she has learnt to navigate that better and is genuinely happy single she’s started to think of herself as self - partnered in contrast to the time when she thought of herself as single = lonely.

Every media outlet decided to focus in an out of context quote from the three minutes she talked about her dating life when the actual interview had a lot of depth and way more important things were discussed. I’m sad and angry but not surprised.

me, holding a pizza box and shouting: SUE!

customer walks up

me: sue?

customer opens the box, frowns, and sticks her finger in the pizza: i didn’t order pepperoni

me, with a voice devoid of any emotion: ……. sue?

customer: oh! no i’m (name)!

the actual sue, materializing at my elbow: is that a pizza for sue?

me: would you like some free breadsticks to eat while we remake you pizza? another customer touched it

‘another customer’ sheepishly mumbles sorry

sue, who has clearly worked with the public: you take as long as you need to, honey

[tinyhipsterboy]

me, shouting at the top of my lungs: ICED VENTI VANILLA LATTE FOR JENNIFER

male customer standing right in front of me turns to look

me: jennifer? iced vanilla latte?

customer says nothing, takes the drink, shoves straw in, takes a long sip

customer: i wanted this hot. i ordered a small hot decaf skinny vanilla latte.

me: are you jennifer?

customer: no, i’m daniel

Some people wonder why people fight wars, but I have no trouble imagining reasons for people to just haul off on each other.

[therealraewest]

Hey do y'all fucks remember two years ago when just before the election all these “don’t vote both parties are bad” or “vote independent!” Posts were going around and then Trump won and now two weeks before midterms there’s all these “don’t bother voting, revolution is the only way!” And “your vote isn’t gonna matter and is an ineffective way to protest” posts are going around? Yeah knock that shit right the fuck off, don’t fall for it and get your ass to the polls, we are not doing this again.

[alicedrawslesmis]

ugh fine my personal blog is not cutting so I’ll post here 

DO! NOT! DONATE! TO! AMAZON! CONSERVATION! NGOs! DO NOT!

they don’t act on the root of the problem, they don’t mitigate the effects of deforestation, they do have limited action and they don’t help conserve the forest land outside their very small grounds besides doing little to nothing to help the people who actually live in the amazon and conserve it on a daily basis

DONATE TO THE INDIGENOUS MOVEMENTS INSTEAD

they are organized, they can keep woodcutting companies away from their land, they are getting murdered for it, they are the only reason there is any forest left at all

[alicedrawslesmis]

THIS is a a fund for indigenous peoples of the Amazon (Brasil only)

THIS is a link to donate from abroad to the indigenous women’s march, it has already happened but you can still donate to support the cause

THIS is a link to support the free land camp, and you can email them at [email protected] if you really want to find ways to support them, donations will go to APIB (Brazilian Articulation of Indigenous Peoples) and you can keep up with their news here

(APIB is coordinated by, among others, Sonia Guajajara! so if you know her you know this means shit will get done)

The fact that you can’t raise taxes on billionaires even slightly without them pouring money into fascist political movements is, of itself, evidence that billionaires as a class shouldn’t be allowed to exist in the first place.

[property-is-theft-deactivated20]

That and their whole “raise the minimum wage even a little bit and we’ll purposefully go out of our way to vindictively destroy the working class via outsourcing and automation.” I dont know why conservatives bow to this like its something necessary that just happens or even worse good. Its not some natural law. Its an active threat made by the bourgeoisie against the rest of us that reads “back off the wealth we’ve stolen from you or else”. Instead of kowtowing to these threats we should do the sensible thing and facilitate their demise. Because God knows they’re busy trying to facillitate ours

[sirfrogsworth]

Conservatives seem to think we have the same blind loyalty towards the Clintons that they do toward Trump.  

If Bill was involved, lock his ass up too. 

[kamikaze-kumquat]

Seriously. A pedo is a fucking pedo. I don’t care who you are. If my brother turned out to be a pedo, I would personally fucking volunteer to drive his ass to prison. Ain’t no one - celebrity, president, or just some stranger on the street - who I would “forgive” for violating children. NO ONE.

So, all you fucking conservatives can stop throwing that noise around. I liked Clinton somewhat but I would tear the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock down with my bare hands if he was on that list.

[systlin]

I’ve said this to a few conservatives, and it seems to puzzle them.

But seriously, go read “The Authoritarians” by Bob Altenmeyer, which he provides for free download on his website.

It explains this sort of behavior; authoritarian followers literally do follow leaders blindly, and assume everyone else does as well. They develop their opinions by being told them by someone they decide is an authority, rather than making their own mind up about stuff.

Therefore, since their entire worldview and sense of self is wrapped up in the things they were told to believe and therefore do, they take an attack on their leader as a personal attack, and assume everyone else works the same. So in the mind of an authoritarian follower, attacking what they assume to be the leader of a group is an effort to discredit the whole group.

This is also why they keep looking for ‘leaders’ of groups of protesters and ‘leaders’ of loose associations like Antifa; because they assume that all those groups MUST be following a single person, because they cannot wrap their head around the fact that a bunch of people may all just show up and do a thing without someone masterminding it all.

It’s why attacks on people like AOC, who they call a ‘progressive leader’, are so virulent. Because authoritarian followers think that if they manage to discredit ONE person, that would destroy the whole organization.

[terulakimban]

Is that why there’s such a cult following around Trump? And why there’s a conscious, conspicuous, and ongoing attempt to minimize or deny everything he’s done? Because they see accurate reporting of the actual stuff he’s done as a direct attack on them, and either they’d never do that because it is Bad and therefore he can’t have done that because he’s their leader or even if he did it, he is the leader and therefore what he does is inherently right? 

[systlin]

Yup.

Read the book. It really explains a lot about this.

Please?!

[state-issued-boyfriend]

Apparently, confronting the gross sexualized queer media, and therefore saying the unrealistic standards of gay porn and SAID queer media ( which let's be honest its pseudo porn ) is racist, unattainable, and frankly disgusting. And that queer media has the same four guys with different hair color and varying degrees of beard length. Makes me fake, "just bitter" and I'd be "more attractive if I learn to take care of myself". White gays are really like this, tragic
