Nelson Mandela was in USA's terror watchlist until 2018. The guy who fought against apartheid state of South Africa, won a Nobel peace prize, became a president, a beloved character across the globe was in the terror watchlist of USA. So I wouldn't actually take murica's opinion about labeling a person or group of people as terrorists. Chances are they're actually fighting for the freedom of their country.

That's why they call Hamas terrorists instead of freedom fighters. In their eyes The Nelson Mandela was a terrorist.

Anyways as Nelson Mandela said

Free Palestine 🇵🇸🍉

I'm not saying that I dislike that weed has been legalized in more and more states (imo all drugs should be legalized but that's not the point of this post)- I *am* saying that every time I pass a dispensary that looks like an apple store and I see white people talking freely about making special cookies and smoking in their spare time, all I can think about are the thousands and thousands of black people who experienced huge amounts of state-sponsered violence for even the suspicion of having weed on them and those who are STILL IN PRISON for possession charges.

And it. Just kinda makes me grit my teeth, you know? My father was illegally searched and brutalized in front of me when I was a little kid because the cop "thought he smelled weed" (he didn't, my dad doesn't touch the stuff) and in the mean time Becky in accounting takes a "special gummy" every night that she gets from a store next to the Starbucks.

Legalize it and expunge the criminal records of everybody convicted for weed-related charges. Set them free. Prison is for politicians and violent psychopaths, not dudes who got busted with a dime bag.

It’s almost as if the entire economic and political system is rigged to transfer wealth from the people to the military-industrial complex and the politicians they own.

Computers are very simple you see we take the hearts of dead stars and we flatten them into crystal chips and then we etch tiny pathways using concentrated light into the dead star crystal chips and if we etch the pathways just so we can trick the crystals into doing our thinking for us hope this clears things up.

People always gloss over how mentally damaging it can be to work in retail. I fucking hate that whenever I say “I could never work in retail again” someone has to reply “You snowflake millennials can’t take a starter job because you have to INTERACT with other people” No. Fuck you. I’ve worked as a planetarium host. I’ve worked as a public speaker. I’ve worked as a tutor and as a student teacher. I can work with people. I can work with crowds. Retail was fucking different. Retail was being treated as a subhuman. Retail was being treated so poorly that you have anxiety attacks before work. Having to work retail was a factor in my last suicide attempt. If I hear you say one fucking word about retail workers playing the victim I will personally break every bone in your body. Fuck You.

The holidays are coming up. Retail workers are going to be spiraling into a nightmare beyond human comprehension. If you’ve worked retail, you know this. If you haven’t, be aware of it. Please be kind to every retail worker you come across. Please be patient and understanding. It is misery out there.

Retail and food workers have my unending compassion. I would not survive in either of those environments.

“I was soooooo disappointed to find out I was having a daughter 🥺” I’m so disappointed in your lack of decorum and choice to publicize your misogyny but you don’t see me making videos about it

byjove

“I love my daughter just as much as my sons except I was disappointed in her before she was even born. This is very healthy and normal and good parenting.”

byjove

“We need to normalize gender disappointment.” is such a crazy sentiment to express? Like, it’s been a thing since the dawn of time, so much of history has been spent handholding men who are disappointed they don’t have a son. Let’s do the opposite. Let’s start embarrassing these people into shutting the fuck up about how disappointed they are in their fetus’s biological sex. Idk. I’m so tired of gender reveal culture, boymom culture, new takes on things as old as time itself.

humble-mushroom

Daughters are great. I can’t imagine being disappointed in my baby for having the wrong gender. What a bunch of assclowns.

You recently moved to the countryside. Your child was playing in the woods, and came back with a large green egg you thought was plastic, so you agreed they could keep it if no one claimed it. Your kid said it was a gift. You thought nothing of it. Then the egg hatched.

This is it. The perfect writing prompt response. We can all go home.

I would love to add a cassowary to my chicken collection. It is not technically a chicken but it’s close enough for my purposes. I love the idea of having a giant murder chicken roaming my neighborhood.

There was a McDonald’s commercial where the camera slowly panned to follow footprints in the sand to then show Jesus Christ walking on the beach eating a McRib. Words on the screen said, “It’s back.”

Question answered, the McRib is the rib of Adam.

Every single time I post about drugs being morally neutral, people crawl out of the woodwork to make statements along the lines of, "yeah, drugs are okay as long as users aren't forcing other people to do them!"

Why do you automatically assume drug users are more disposed to violate bodily autonomy and consent? Unpack that. Think about it for ten minutes and tell me it isn't just DARE propaganda and the lingering poison of Ronald Reagan, you dense motherfucker.

renthony

I have never in my life offered to share my shit with people I didn't know were interested. When I have been offered drugs I didn't want, the person offering them was immediately like, "cool, no worries, you want me to save it for when you aren't here?" and that was the end of it.

Yes, there are monsters who use drugs. But there are monsters who are straight-edge, too.

It’s because institutions have taken on a life and a consciousness of their own and act in their best interest, not humanity’s best interest.

The institution that makes and enforces the rules depends on the money from the institutions that tear humanity apart to function. Therefore, the institutions of evil persist in the world because they prop up the institution of power. Until we fundamentally change the way things work, we’re fucked.
