you're not potentially mature content to me you are my friend

[eldritchbauble]

COVID has killed more people in the US in 5 years than HIV has killed since 1981, and you still can't get queer people to wear a goddamn mask at community events.

[eldritchbauble]

I refuse to believe that it's because you don't care.

I think it's because you're afraid to care.

You'd have to acknowledge that it is that bad, that you and everyone you love could wind up permanently disabled or dead at any time, and that all of our lives have been permanently changed by going through a(nother) mass traumatizing event.

[covid-safer-hotties]

Covid caution is intersectional praxis in action. Acting like covid is over just serves the status quo. Make the right choice. Stand by your politics instead of for nothing.

[cliothemuse]

Ok but Ania would be such a good doctor and more importantly GINGER

[cottoncandylesbo]

the excitable hog

[lifeafterpsychiatry]

A lot of people genuinely believe that permanent disability isn't a thing that happens to good people who work hard and make responsible choices. A lot of people genuinely think that we get the life we work for and deserve. And this is definitely part of the explanation for why ableism is so prevalent

some royal jewels were stolen from the louvre which is unfortunate for historical reasons but you gotta appreciate a classic crime. so many crimes are online these days it’s nice to see heist culture is still alive

October 3, 1992:  Sinead O’Connor appeared on Saturday Night Live singing an  acapella cover of Bob Marley’s song “War”, changing some of the lyrics to include references to child abuse, and ending the performance by tearing up a photo of Pope John Paull II and saying “fight the real enemy”.

This ruined her career and she was telling the truth, as we all came to find out years later.

[ambulancevsambulance]

Please remember she didn’t consider it as a career ruiner. 

To speak on how it “ruined” her career ignores her own feelings on it. Please acknowledge how she felt about it, instead of how you see it.

Reading up on some Jane Goodall lore.

also "ough life-saving essential medical equipment uses so much plastic" in this country you can purchase an artificial ballsack for your pickup truck

[headspace-hotel]

"ough watching a show uses so much electricity" on road sides there are giant electrified billboards that do nothing but show you ads

[lilacblossoms]

Thank you for the perspective check

It's scary to be transgender in the world right now but if you're transgender I love you and we have to stick together and keep fighting and keep living and keep loving

Why do we say that capitalism must be “dismantled”?

You’ll hear phrases like “Smash the state!” “Eat the rich!” and “Smash capitalism!”

And, yes, of course, but… :)

However relevant those sayings are, our work must be careful, highly organized and above all planned.

Because capitalism and all of its associated systems are not discrete, abstracted entities we can attack independently.

It is a structure, like a complicated machine with many thousands of working parts…

And right now it is connected to absolutely everything.

If we do this… [picks up huge hammer and smashes the machine]

Then a lot of vulnerable people will die.

The machine was built and improved and redesigned and patched over the course of generations. It is very good at its intended purpose, which is ultimately to generate profit.

Every human being alive today relies on the byproducts of the machine to survive, without exception.

The machine’s engineers want it to keep working like it does. In fact, they want to optimise it.

That will kill all remaining life on Earth.

So, we must destroy the machine, quickly and carefully

We must examine its deadly programs and mechanics and replace them with alternatives we built together.

The engineers don’t want us tampering with the machine.

However, we make it run…

So we can make it STOP. Together.

How will YOU help us to safely dismantle the machine?

here is Gil Scott-Heron performing his poem "Whitey on the Moon"

[goodgrammaritan]

A rat done bit my sister Nell.

(with Whitey on the moon)

Her face and arms began to swell.

(and Whitey's on the moon)

I can't pay no doctor bills.

(but Whitey's on the moon)

Ten years from now I'll be payin' still

While Whitey's on the moon.

You know, the man jus' upped my rent las' night,

'cause Whitey's on the moon.

No hot water, no toilets, no lights,

but Whitey's on the moon.

I wonder why he's uppi' me?

'cause Whitey's on the moon?

Well I wuz already givin' 'im fifty a week

And now Whitey's on the moon.

Taxes takin' my whole damn check,

The junkies make me a nervous wreck,

The price of food is goin' up,

An' as if all that crap wuzn't enough,

A rat done bit my sister Nell.

(with Whitey on the moon)

Her face an' arms began to swell

And Whitey's on the moon.

Was all that money I made las' year

For Whitey on the moon?

How come I ain't got no money here?

Hmm! Whitey's on the moon.

Y'know I jus' about had my fill

Of Whitey on the moon.

I think I'll sen' these doctor bills,

Airmail special

To Whitey on the moon
