It’s wild but, it’s no coincidence that life gets harder for you when you’re doing the right thing. Keep going.

minority culture is being labelled too political because you dont want to be friends with people who literally dont think you should have the same rights as them

still can’t get over how in birdbox the main characters casually speculate how north korea or iran is behind all the scary bullshit like wow america’s imperialist propaganda never stops 

[racialized]

the shameless nerve of american media to smear countries that have no evidence of using biochem weapons when america is the biggest perpetrator of bio-warfare on the globe

Plus one of the main characters being an army vet and sharing his lovely stories of how sweet and lovely US soldiers are.

“The documents reveal for the first time the vast scale of US government control in Hollywood, including the ability to manipulate scripts or even prevent films too critical of the Pentagon from being made — not to mention influencing some of the most popular film franchises in recent years.

This raises new questions not only about the way censorship works in the modern entertainment industry, but also about Hollywood’s little known role as a propaganda machine for the US national security apparatus.”

My little sister is 11 and she likes to come into my room a lot and hang out with me, but sometimes when she comes in I’m in an introverted or depressed mood and don’t want to talk to anyone. Tonight she came in and said that my room was too quiet, so I told her to go listen to music or something because I didn’t really feel like talking. She sat there quietly for a couple of seconds and then she said, “I’m gonna tell you what happened in gym class today because it was really annoying, but you don’t have to talk back.” And she just started talking about her day to me and I don’t think enough people understand how helpful that is to someone who’s depressed. To be there with them and talk to them without expecting them to engage in conversation. It’s a way to be alone without feeling completely lonely and I think everyone who deals with depression or any other mental illness needs someone like my sister to understand that, and to interact with the people they care about based on their state of mind.
