"Violence only leads to more violence" TRUE! The thing is tho, a lot of people in power seem to think the start of the violence was the CEO getting shot, but they're wrong. The start of the violence was that very CEO running a company that turns immense, endless human suffering into money.

Violence did lead to more violence, decades of needless death and suffering willfully enacted by millionaires so they can make just a little bit more money, that was the start of the violence. If they didn't want it to escalate eventually, they should have maybe not made killing people the core functionality their entire company hinges on.

The people being tortured and killed by the health insurance industry are not the ones who started the violence, and tbh I don't really think it's on them to end the violence, either.

I just think maybe the people who's entire job is sitting in an office and pressing a button labeled "get 10 million dollars but 100 random people you don't know die" as many times as they physically can are the ones who should be examining their behavior here, not the people who think they shouldn't be allowed to get away with that.

for real shoutout to jars of minced garlic. i would straight up never cook if i didnt have pre-minced garlic

[moveslikekeithrichards]

some people bitch about stuff like that & say its for people who cant cook or its not as good but honestly. i dont have a lot of energy at the end of the day. i am not very skilled in the kitchen. & i get overwhelmed by things that have lots of steps. things like pre-minced garlic allow me to make Real Food for my family bc it cuts out extra prep work & washing that would otherwise scare me away from a recipe. & the end result tastes good. dont worry about pretentious peoples opinions. take shortcuts. use jarred garlic

hey so it’s march now aka the beginning of endometriosis awareness month and i feel obligated to remind you that debilitatingly painful periods are not normal. if you or someone you know is ending up sick or bedridden every month, you are not crazy and deserve medical attention from someone who will take you seriously

hey it’s march again let’s get this post circulating again

Fun fact: Victor Gruen, the “inventor” of the modern shopping mall, wanted his malls to be full of apartments, schools, medical facilities, and indoor parks in addition to the stores, so people could live, work, and shop under one roof. This never happened and instead all the space was used for stores, something that he hated. 

It’s not just a case of ‘hey it would be easy to repurpose all this space’, malls were originally designed to be living centers and it wouldn’t take that much tweaking to bring them back to it.

Yeah seeing the trailer for Multiverse of Madness at the end of No Way Home was nice, but the post credits scene should have, instead, been a solid 30 seconds of Foggy scolding Matt for catching the fucking brick

i hate to make another post but they keep dying. my family and i are in a rough spot financially, as my dad is the sole provider and now has legal fees to pay on top of everything else because of what he's doing to protect my brothers and i from our abusive mother and her side of the family. even a little bit of money to help provide for my brothers and i would go a long way.

i’m obsessed with this painting called tomato king and i’m even more obsessed with the man who drew it. his name is stuart dunkel and he is a classical oboeist and he also paints tiny little oil paintings of mice living their best lives. he looks like this.

Rosa, we came up together. We went to the academy together. We had the exact same career. All we ever wanted is to be detectives. And yes, we had always known there were problems, but we would solve them together. From the inside. So when you quit, yeah, it made me feel like you thought I was wrong for staying.

pulling stunts that strengthen the public’s perception of gay people as satanic perverts is a shitty thing to do. the end

[goldenaltar]

counterpoint: it’s really funny.

[genderificationbeam]

lil nas x: i was demonized from a young age because of the unique intersection of my blackness and queerness within the church and now im reclaiming that for myself and showing young queer people that they always have a place where they’ll be accepted, even if they have to carve it out of the hell they were promised

random shitforbrains tumblr users: actually portraying queer people, including yourself, as sexually empowered or subversive in any way makes the homophobes mad :/// maybe just act normal??? idk pulling that “”stunt”” is kinda homophobic

[elfwreck]

OP’s statement implies that there is a way of acting that will convince the bigots that gay people are not satanic perverts.

There isn’t. Every single method has been tried: Being quiet. Blending in. Acting like middle class suburban straight couples. Being closeted and only finding partners who will keep the secret. Having one partner publicly take the role of another gender. (And then acting like a suburban straight couple.) Being ALONE, and just pining quietly for years.

None of it works. When the straights figure out who the gay people are, even if they are abstinent and solitary, there’s a swarm of bigots ready to denounce all queer people as evil, as corrupting children, as causing the downfall of society. A swarm of bigots ready to physically attack them to drive them off. 

There is no polite enough, no ordinary enough, no invisible enough to keep us safe.

So fuck that.

Queer people should act like they want to act. If part of that is going all in for the “I am your worst hellscape nightmare” tropes, that’s part of reclaiming the right to be full members of society. 

And queer people of color have at least twice as much right to ignore all the stupid “don’t do that because you’ll offend people!!!” rules.

What offends those people is queer people of color existing, not whatever they did that got them noticed. The bigots just like to pretend that the issue is “I don’t want to see it” instead of “I don’t want the person who did that, to exist.” 

Because if the issue is “I don’t want to see it” - just don’t watch the video.

Specially, LIL NAS X tried that. Y’all remember his first his? Old Town Road? With the lyrics:

Cheated on my baby

You can go and ask her

My life is a movie

Bull riding and boobies

Cowboy hat from Gucci

Boy was STEALTH. AND WHAT DID THEY DO TO HIM????? They OUTED HIM. OUT OF REVENGE FOR BEING BETTER AT THE GAME THAN THEY WERE. FOR BEING A BLACK QUEER MAN WITH A HIT. THEY. OUTED. HIM.

Y’all DO NOT get to tell him to sit down and shut up about his gayness when he LITERALLY DID THAT AND WAS OUTED. what happened to the quiet polite gays, you ask?

Y’all killed, bullied and outed them so you’re stuck with us. Deal with it.

Performative Purity has never kept any person of color, queer folks, and ESPECIALLY queer persons of color safe in the eyes of a society that WANTS to hate us for existing as is. NEVER.
