Anyway if nothing else matters then I hope people remember that Pope Francis used his last public address to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and call Israel a terrorist state:

"I continue to receive very serious and painful news from Gaza. Unarmed civilians are subjected to bombings and shootings. It is terrorism."

Some women are conditioned to be fragile and weak, and to believe that it's a sin to outperform a man. Her feminism would involve allowing women to be strong.

Some women are expected to be strong at times when they can't. Her feminism would involve reassuring her that it's okay to not be strong.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're too stupid to ever amount to anything. Their disability activism would involve reassuring them that they're capable.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're smart and gifted, and are expected to live up to impossible standards. Their disability activism would involve allowing them to fail, make mistakes, be stupid, etc.

Some children are constantly reminded "you're the child, I'm the adult" in order to deny their autonomy. Their youth rights activism would involve treating them like an adult at times when they feel ready for it.

Some children are treated like adults in order to justify increased expectations or to downplay abuse against them. Their youth rights activism would involve allowing them to be a child.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to oppression. Each individual person's experience is different. Whatever trauma is caused by their oppression, the activism should focus on undoing it.

one of the hardest but most necessary things ever is realizing when ur being a dick or being really reactive to smth you shouldnt or being kinda toxic/guilt trippy/passive aggressive and youve gotta be able to take a step back and recognize that ur feeling that and why and then try to counter it intentionally by remembering that your behavior probably isn't helping the situation & the other people around you dont deserve that. this is hard but it is something u can do, please practice it

[decompose1]

it helps a lot to learn as a habit bc now when i feel myself getting bitter and rude i kinda go "ok. i don't like the way i'm acting. why am i acting like that." and usually the answer is to politely excuse myself from the situation and let people involved know that i need some space and i will talk to them again when i'm feeling less reactive. taking some space to think about it is super helpful because if you engage with things that upset you while you're in the heat of that bad emotion, you'll say things you regret. make less situations where you can do something regrettable if you can help it. you're not bad for feeling that way but it's your responsibility to recognize that your feelings cannot be taken out on others and you need to go deal with that yourself
