Before you say yes, get him angry. See him scared, see him wanting, see him sick. Stress changes a person. Find out if he drinks and if he does, get him drunk — you’ll learn more about his sober thoughts. Discover his addictions. See if he puts you in front of them. You can’t change people, baby girl. If they are made one way, it doesn’t just wear off. If you hate how he acts when he’s out of it now, you’re going to hate it much worse eight years down the road. You might love him to bits but it doesn’t change that some people just don’t fit.

“Industrial/extractive expansion is causing global, terminal ecological crisis. We already have radioactive rain, methane plumes, runaway wildfires, superstorms, rising seas, shrimp without eyes, and tap water that can be lit on fire. If unchecked, pollution, water shortages, nuclear radiation, soil depletion, global warming and geo-engineering could wipe out all life on Earth. But the internal structural economic crises are, for capitalists, even more urgent than the ecological crisis. The ecological crisis is simply collateral damage, an effect or consequence of their main pursuit. The capitalist growth imperative cannot be denied.”

“Capitalism will ultimately destroy itself, but only when it’s destroyed all life on the planet, which is too late to matter. Until then, capitalism is all about breaking through limitations. That’s what it always does.”

-art and text by Stephanie McMillan, “Capitalism Must Die!”

At DGR we recognize the links between the ecocidal, parasitic economic system called industrial capitalism, and the ongoing war on indigenous peoples, people of color, and women. We are organizing to resist! http://ift.tt/1qkweoA

Your favorite Nobel Peace prize winning president. The same guy who is a ‘lesser evil’ to you but not to the thousands of Pakistanis who were never offered a fair trial before or after being bombed to pieces. Yay, Democrats. Yay, liberals.

We live in an age where we feel guilt whenever we have to cut someone off but the reality is that some relationships do need to die, some people do need to be unfollowed and defriended. We aren’t meant to be this tethered to the people in our past. The Internet mandates that we don’t burn bridges and keep everyone around like relics but those expectations are unrealistic and unhealthy. Simply put, we don’t need to know what everyone else is up to. We’re allowed to be choosy about who we surround ourselves with online and in real life, even if it might hurt people’s feelings.
