My constant struggle when writing PWP

some people will really disappear from your life with no warning and you have no way of knowing why or if you'll ever know them again and you just have to be okay with that

can you believe when south africa was a settler-colonialist apartheid state backed by western imperialists living conditions were better for settlers

I have been screaming and shouting and yelling and screeching that we need to talk about the fact that Elon Musk grew up in apartheid South Africa, attending boarding school for rich white boys. The fact that this point is not constantly brought up whenever we talk about Musk's politics is fucking wild to me.

Can people who were raised in places like apartheid South Africa change or reject those values? Yes, but Musk clearly has not. His upbringing has quite clearly created the worldview that has created his politics.

"Uhhhhhhhhh dont romanticize china" nobody is, stupid. People are learning that Chinese citizens are regular people like themselves. They have big problems with their government too, just like us. They do not, however, appear to struggle as much as Americans do just to survive. A bunch of them have expressed shock and horror at how easy it is to become homeless in America and how hard it is to get back out of homelessness. Literally that one thing alone would make China a safer place for many Americans to live. That and the cheap health care, cheap housing, and lack of property taxes. Literally the country our own government paints as a suffering hellhole is still easier to be poor in than this one.

[bogleech]

They are aghast to hear that in America you have to keep giving the government money or your house will be taken away. They keep asking why we wouldn't rise up and kill our leaders for that alone. It sounds like unthinkable oppression to them that you can't just buy a house and land and have eternal automatic right to keep it.

To the person reading this...

May Allah grant you better—better taqwa, better character, better health, and better than what you had and lost in all aspects of life.

And above all, may He grant you the best of the Hereafter.

Allahumma Ameen.

Cannot FUCKING stand when my loose leaf tea says to add tea in tablespoons instead of teaspoons. I'm sorry, bitch. Am I making tea or am I making a table. Let me double fucking check.

people who don’t wear glasses will never understand the absolute humiliation of dropping your glasses under your bed or in a dark area and feeling around on all fours muttering “my glasses…. where are my glasses” like fucking Velma Dinkley and thinking to yourself BOY WOULD THIS BE A LOT EASIER IF I COUKD FUCKING SEE

[theshinysnivy1]

suggestion by my friend that I've been using: use your phone camera!

[evilwriter37]

I’m not sure how that works. Like, take video or pics of under the bed to locate the glasses? (Sorry, just trying to figure it out.)

[ashleybenlove]

My gut is telling me: using the flashlight on the phone and that's what that person meant?

[askyea-poesy]

The literal meaning of life is whatever you’re doing that prevents you from killing yourself.

People who think any criticism whatsoever is an attack are unprepared for any serious discussions about bigotry

[cutecipher]

You have done something bigoted. Quite literally doesnt matter who you are, you have, and you need to be able to handle when someone brings that up to you. Fragile allies make for easily propagandized enemies
