saw a woman comforting her sobbing child saying “i already told you, you have to keep looking forward, looking back just gets you hurt” and i thought she was sharing a beautiful life lesson about the importance of letting go of regret and resentment. but it turns out the kid just wasn’t looking where he was going and ran into a wall

Y'all need to get a lot less comfortable telling disabled people what they can and can't say/feel about their disability.

"My disability does not make me unworthy of life, love, or happiness."

and

"I don't like being disabled and would like to no longer be disabled."

Are two statements that can coexist. Fuck you if you want to try and police people's perspective of their own bodies.

Quick reminder that it's always morally correct to punch nazis.

[ferrousferrule]

Its also morally correct to support Jewish people against antisemitism

Nine rings were made for men. Seven for the dwarves, three for the elves, and one for the big guy himself. One, three, seven, nine. There is but a set of five missing to complete the sequence of odd numbers. I propose that this missing set of rings of power was gifted to a mysterious someone by their true love, along with a partridge in a pear tree (among other things). In this essay I will-

Many lgbt teenagers and young adults growing up on the internet today have socially conservative beliefs that they voice at all times that they got from their conservative parents which they’ve never challenged because they think the life experience of being gay or trans makes them politically progressive

This is why I hate it when people say something homophobic and then go “so you’re really accusing me, a whole ass lesbian, of being homophobic 🙄” like yeah

[athingofvikings]

There's a model of culture that I like to cite for this idea, called the Iceberg Model:

The LGBT youth (and young atheists, too) will cut off the stuff "above the water" but not really examine the stuff down below that line that they have as part of their upbringing.

So you get young LGBT people making comments like OP cited, or young atheists acting with an Evangelical persecution complex, and going, "Don't call me Culturally Christian!"

This is the sort of thing I keep talking about when I’m saying identity is not the same as ideology.

Who you identify as (who you are) says absolutely nothing about what you believe (your ideology).

Delighted to announce this bird is real and is a corvid.

Truly the family that just keeps giving.

I haven’t seen it in the notes yet, so afaik, here’s the source of that video! So now you can see the funny poison bird much more clearly.

It was taken by a biologist that studies birds so it seems like he knows what he’s doing. For the most part. Here’s his caption:

Reminder: do not sign up for rallys/protests, do not hit "interested" or "going" on Facebook events for protests or rally, leave your phone at home and buy a burner for emergencies, cover your face and any identifying marks. You do not want the police to be able to place you there in any capacity. The police are not your friend. At this point, they're your enemy.

They no longer have to read you your Miranda rights. If you are stopped or arrested by police, the most important thing you can do is ask for an attorney and stay quiet. You can memories your rights down below, but staying silent is also an option. Do not answer any questions, do not respond to them at all.

If you are going to a riskier event (i.e. more potential for police intervention) bring lots of water, and heat resistant gloves. There is a high chance they will throw tear gas at you. You can douse it with water or throw it away from the crowd with the gloves.

Do not engage any pro lifers you come across. The police are looking for any sign to engage. Do not yell at them, do not touch them, stay a good distance away.

Make sure at least one good friend/family member knows where you are and has the numbers for local jails and hospitals. Keep emergency contacts on you (but not visible).

i knew a surgeon and he once told me “nobodys insides look like how the textbooks say they will. you never know what you’re going to find in there once you open them up” and that was easily the most ominous thing anyone’s ever said to me
