I think you can absolutely still have hope while acknowledging we are in multiple forms of collapse. You can be hopeful you’ll get a job. You can be hopeful solutions will arise. You can be hopeful you’ll make friends. You can be hopeful that there are people who care for the world amidst the world being beat and bruised.

You’re allowed to care even though lots of things are going bad. Some things can’t be fixed or saved. But it’s okay to hold onto hope for something good to happen tomorrow. Good things are always going to pop up like flowers in war zones.

“The world is not on fire, there are just lots of fires.” Don’t lose hope that some fires can be put out. So much is still easy. Build a safe zone within the flames, and persist putting them out. Accepting we are in a bad place does not equal rolling over to let it get worse. No matter how bad things will get, you can still put out flames in different spaces.

You can give yourself the freedom of acknowledging life right now is in a state of unrest and we don’t know when the chapter will close, while also being happy we are here with other people and things that make it worth it. Because it is worth it. All hard things are worth it.

Allow yourself gentle mercies that will keep you alive.

One of my favorite things about loving someone or developing a closeness or fondness towards someone is also loving and developing a fondness for the things they care about. When you learn to see the world in a new way, or you learn to appreciate the things you’ve previously overlooked, or they become your excuse to get into an interest you always thought was cool but thought you didn’t have time for. When a connection makes your world bigger and warmer and fuller and more beautiful.

I don't know who my intended audience is here, so whoever needs to hear this, I am begging you to learn to participate in conversations that are about things you aren't interested in.

Part of socializing and having friends is being a good listener even when you don't actually give a shit about the subject.

Your are hurting other people's feelings when you bluntly respond with "Anyway..." and then change the topic.

It can not always be about your preferred topic.

You are being rude. Yes, even if you are neurodivergent. You can be both autistic and rude.

Uhm,, sorry sweatie, but we have no principles and are glad to abandon your human rights for a handful of votes that we're not gonna get anyway bc we don't believe in offering anything to anyone either 😍🥰😘

It seems like if you’re concerned about literal fascism, mass demonization and rollback of the human rights of unpopular subaltern groups is something that should the fucking well concern you.

[regicide1997]

first they came for the trans people, but I did not speak up, because I was too concerned with the abstract concept of opposing fascism to actually do anything

i stopped giving a shit about "legit" purchases of digital products after i spent $80 on the entire Dark Horse collection of Trigun/Trigun Maximum ebook mangas, learning that I only got access to reading them through a proprietary website ereader function, couldn't download them, and couldn't get a refund, and then literally only a year later, getting an e-mail stating that Dark Horse was shutting down that part of their company and I wouldn't even be able to read them anymore. Fuck that

[noelle-ism]

Pirate shit. Don't feel bad for it. It's not "your fault" that artists, independent or otherwise, can't make a living. You downloading an album or ebook for free isn't the cause of the problem. The cause is capitalism, plain and simple, and pirating is a lucky loophole that will companies are still trying to stomp out.

just found out that there is a sudanfunds website! like gazafunds, it is a compilation of funds for people facing genocide

edit: i've added the correct link to this version of the post. if at all possible, please try to reblog this version or direct back to it. for some reason, the original sudanfunds link i put is now defunct. the correct site is still called sudanfunds and is now back up, and that's what is now on this version of the post. hope this makes sense

[chilewithcarnage]

this is the second case ive seen of a black child going missing and then found lynched, what the fuck is going on

[iminyournotis]

Her name was Juliana Nzita. She was 16 years-old and from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and lived in North Carolina. It looks as though it was made to look like a suicide, as there was a plastic chair near her... Police ruled it as such.

This took place in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area. It is obvious that the police want this to go away as quickly as possible with their ruling it suicide and lack of investigation (which makes me believe that bodies in department itself or someone ((one of)) the officers know is involved). Please don't let it.

[guelwaar]

people love the idea of the mean girl nurse pipeline because it problematises medical abuse as a personal perversion rather than understanding it as a product of broadly held ableist values and its like, if this was only about ontologically evil teenage girls choosing to enter a profession because of their unique sadism then you really wouldnt expect to see the exact same forms of abuse pervading all arrangements of paid, unpaid, formal, ad hoc, and familial caretaking as well -- its more comforting to believe the nurse was just a preexisting bad person than that most of the world broadly hates disabled people and will abuse, neglect, and gaslight them if given power over their care

[gazeldhazel]

I haven't had to make a post like this before, but the situation is pretty dire and the landlord management whatever is doing fuck all, so.

I'm currently staying at my sister's place, of which has a mold, ant, and leaking water problem. we've had to deal with ants crawling out of the walls three separate times this week, and it's become too much to deal with. the ants are crawling out of the outlets now. im trying to get money for her to help her move. moving costs plus fees and rent and whatever will probably be a lot so im. on my hands and knees asking for this

when i say autogynephilia isn’t real in any meaningful sense, i don’t mean that trans women don’t get turned on by themselves being hot. i mean that it is perfectly normal to do so and many cis people also do that

[mousidy]

I always think of it in the sense that every sexual fantasy includes both a point of view character and someone you desire. cis people take for granted that the point of view character in their fantasies (generally themselves) is of the sexgender that is comfortable to them. who you find attractive is only half of your sexuality -- the other half is who you feel attractive being. transition unlocks that entire half of your sexuality for those of us who don't get to take it for granted
