âCrazy Dionâ Diamond at one of his sit-ins as a teenager in Arlington, VA. June 10, 1960
via reddit
All of those people around him are demons
hey guys! hereâs some fun things i learned from this article about Dion Diamond:
he did these sit-ins by himself. like idk about you, but i always thought of sit-ins as organized by groups, what kind of bravery does it take, man
he didnât tell anyone about it, like he was no glory-seeker about this. his parents didnât even know until reporters started calling them up like âhey, did you know your son is in jail?
when someone called the cops heâd skedaddle out the back door although he was sent to prison multiple times
the last time he got arrested was in Baton Rouge, and the cops were so sick of him that they told inmates theyâd put in a good word for anyone who gave Diamond a hard time. (the inmates didnât take the bait.)
heâs still alive!
hark, a hero of our times!
That is unbelievable courage!
adulthood is spending 20 minutes debating the phrasing of an email that essentially says âthanksâ
The scene in Bad Girls where Buffy and Faith are dancing at the bronze after killing the nest of vampires always makes me lose my fucking mind. Like these random frat boy types showed up for what is apparently hard electronica night at sunnydaleâs premier all ages coffee house and theyâre like set upon by these two highschool aged girls who have VERY CLEARLY been fighting, going fucking apeshit on a dance floor full of like eight people while their small town peers are probably standing at the edges of the room with their non alcoholic beverages and muffins like
I mean LOOK at this giant open wound on buffyâs arm like what do these guys think is fucking happening??Â
she broke away from dancing on them to go exchange a medieval looking amulet with two older men one of which she literally leapt onto like a spider monkey
The idea of this going on like ten feet away from people trying to play pool and sip lattes is so insane i would give anything to hear how this translates into schoolyard gossip the next day. because itâs also A SCHOOL NIGHT
like dude i think that buffy chick is in some kind of bisexual fight club and is also maybe a jewel thief? with that girl who is here all the time but doesnât even go here and that older british guy who also does not work here but hangs around them and the librarian all the time how is any of this legal and why does no one talk about it
"Hey so it turns out that the people of earth accidentally did a global experiment to see if every individual could course correct climate change through mass personal change of habits, and it turns out, no! We can't! It was massive corporate activity all along!"
Hey, you. I... I couldn't help but notice you are having a rough day... May I offer you some snuggie rats in consolation?
stupid leftists and their belief in *checks notes* the intrinsic value of human life
Reblog if you would burn down the statue of liberty to save a life
Hereâs the thing, though. If you asked a conservative âWould you let the statue of liberty burn to save one life?â theyâd probably scoff and say no, itâs a national landmark, a treasure, a piece of too much historical importance to let it be destroyed for the sake of one measly life.Â
But if you asked, âWould you let the statue of liberty burn in order to save your child? your spouse? someone you loved a great deal?â the tune abruptly changes. At the very least, thereâs a hesitation. Even if they deny it, Iâm willing to bet that gun to their head, the answer would be âyes.â Â
The basic problem here is that people have a hard time seeing outside their own sphere of influence, and empathizing beyond the few people who are right in front of them. Youâve got your immediate family, whom you love; your friends, your acquaintances, maybe to a certain degree the people who share a status with you (your religion, your race, etc.)âbut beyond that? People arenât real. Theyâre theoretical.Â
But a national monument? Thatâs real. It stands for something. The value of a non-realized anonymous life that exists completely outside your sphere of influence is clearly worth less than something that represents freedom and prosperity to a whole nation, right?
People who think like this lack the compassion to realize that everyone is in someoneâs immediate sphere of influenceâthat everyone is someoneâs lover, or brother, or parent. Everyone means the world to someone. And itâs the absolute height of selfishness to assume that their lives donât have value just because they donât mean the world to you.Â
P.S. I would let the statue of liberty burn to save a pigeon.Â
also, there is an extreme difference between what things or principles *i* personally am willing to die for, and what i would hazard others to die for. and this is a distinction i donât think the conservative hard-right likes to face.
an example: so, as the nazis began war against france, the staff of the louvre began crating up and shipping out the artworks. it was vital to them (for many reasons) that the nazis not get their hands on the collections, and hitlerâs desire for them was known, so they dispersed the objects to the four winds; one of the curators personally traveled with la gioconda, mona lisa herself, in an unmarked crate, moving at least five times from location to location to avoid detection.
they even removed and hid the nike of samothrace, âwinged victory,â which is both delicate, having been pieced back together from fragments, and incredibly heavy, weighing over three metric tons.
the curators who hid these artworks risked death to ensure that they wouldnât fall into nazi hands. and yes, they are just paintings, just statues. but when i think about the idea of hitler capturing and standing smugly beside the nike of samothrace, a statue widely beloved as a symbol of liberty, i completely understand why someone would risk their life to prevent that. if my life was all that stood between a fascist dictator and a masterpiece that inspired millions, i would be willing to risk it. my belief in the power and necessity of art would demand i do so.
if, however, a nazi held a gun to some kidâs head (any kid!) and asked me which crate the mona lisa was in, they could have it in a heartbeat. no problem! i wouldnât even have to think about it. being willing to risk my own life on principle doesnât mean iâm willing to see others endangered for those same principles.
and that is exactly where the conservative hard-right falls right the fuck down. they are, typically, entirely willing to watch others suffer for their own principles. they are perfectly okay with seeing children in cages because of their supposed belief in law and order. they are perfectly willing to let women die from pregnancy complications because of their anti-abortion beliefs. they are alright with poverty and disease on general principle because they hold the free-market sacrosanct. and i guess from their own example they would save the statue of liberty and let human beings burn instead.
but speaking as a leftist (iâm more comfortable with socialist tbh), my principles are not abstract things that i hold aside from life, apart or above my place as a human being in a society. my beliefs arise from being a person amidst people. i donât love art for artâs sake alone, actually! i donât love objects because they are objects: i love them because they are artifacts of our humanity, because they communicate and connect us, because they embody love and curiosity and fear and feeling. i love art because i love people. i want universal health care because i want to see people universally cared for. i want universal basic income because peopleâs safety and dignity should not be determined by their economic productivity to an employer. i am anti-war and pro-choice for the same reason: i value peopleâs lives but also their autonomy and right to self-determination. my beliefs are not abstractions. i could never value a type of economic system that i saw hurting people, no matter how much âgrowthâ it produced. i could never love âlaw and orderâ more than i love a child, any child, i saw trapped in a cage.
would i be willing to risk death, trying to save the statue of liberty? probably, yes. but there is no culture without people, and therefore i also believe there are no cultural treasures worth more than other peopleâs lives. and as far as iâm concerned the same goes for laws, or markets, or borders.

Whose kitten is this? Why is it so charming?
I saw this one post ages ago where someone said that video games canât have plus-size characters, because âhow could they do cool action?â I canât find the post, but it inspired me to show you guys some gifs of real people.
All this and also like videogames dont have to have realistic actions.
Videogame characters regularly do things that real life people cannot do.
If youre someone who can accept link turning into a wolf but cant accept someone fat doing flips and parkour and shit maybe youre just fatphobic and you dont actually care whether or not plus sized people can do those things.
