Every single public communication President Cheeto does is a diversion from the actions his cabinet is doing.

TFW you realize the radical right are better at exploiting the crises of capitalism to further their agenda than the radical left are...

Gone for a day and already homesick. Dead named twice, and misgendered. The view is beautiful and I have legal weed, so it's not all bad

Thousands of people who say they love animals sit down once or twice a day to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been utterly deprived of everything that could make their lives worth living and who endured the awful suffering and the terror of the abattoirs.

There was a three stall women’s restroom (no men’s) in the employee lounge where I work. One of my coworkers complained that I was using it, so HR decided the best way to handle it was to remove the Women’s sign and replace it with a Men’s/Women’s sign and then put a vacant/occupied deadbolt lock on the entrance to the restroom with three stalls. I’m never going to lock it just to fuck with said employee :)

Ok, but really, what if he appoints all of the absolute worst people to his cabinet, then is like “lol bye”, gets himself impeached, then we’re stuck with the worst cabinet in history lead by Mike Pence.

I confront [white guilt] every year, about a month into my course on racism, among [white] students who come to me in tears because they cannot deal with the racism that goes on in their families or their home towns or their student residences. Their tears are the result of genuine anguish, care, and a desire to learn and to change. I confront similar attitudes among my colleagues, and I am similarly gratified by their concern. But those who experience white guilt need to learn three things: 1. People of colour are generally not moved by their tears, and may even see those tears as a self-indulgent expression of white privilege. It is after all a great privilege to be able to express one’s emotion openly and to be confident that one is in a cultural context where one’s feelings will be understood. 2. Guilt is paralysing. It serves no purposes; it does no good. It is not a substitute for activism. 3. White guilt is often patronizing if it leads to pity for those of colour. Pity gets in the way of sincere and meaningful human relationships, and it forestalls the frankness that meaningful relationships demand. White guilt will not change the racialized environment; it will only make the guilty feel better.

Are tanks and guns really the best way we know how to spread our ideas across the world?

Eventually you can’t help but figure out that, while gender is a construct, so is a traffic light, and if you ignore either of them, you get hit by cars. Which, also, are constructs.

Just got this book and read a third of it tonight. If you're a trans woman you need to read this book.

Even the “kindest” of farmers, the rare few who still run family farms, who genuinely do form bonds with the animals they rear, are committing an act of unconscionable cruelty. It doesn’t matter how “nicely” a farmer treats an animal, because at some point that animal is going to suffer the most vile betrayal imaginable. At some point; the human who they believe to be their friend is going to profit from their murder and dismemberment. They will pat them on the head, say their goodbyes and then load them onto a truck to the very same slaughterhouses that all those factory farmed animals end up in. They will knowingly send a young, healthy, sentient being, who they have bonded with, raised and named, to their death. All for money. And these people are the reason you think it’s ok to eat meat?

SNORLAX used SURF

Following the same idea as my Hoot-Hoot drawing, is another Pokemon using an HM that seems a bit unfitting. I'm surprised a Snorlax wouldn't drown from how much it sleeps.
