André Derain, La Naissance de Vénus, d’après Botticelli, 1905

No you don't get it, I'm a Good Person. You don't understand. I'm a Good Person which makes it okay for me to think violently about the Enemy, who is Bad Person. I'm commenting "you should be violently murdered" because I'm Good Person and you're Bad Person. You think saying that to someone is fucked up?? You should be violently murdered, you're probably Bad Person anyway

just wanna say as someone who's Aboriginal that I think First Nations peoples have every right to be a little angry at white leftists (NOT Palestinians, people blaming Palestinians stfu) who ignored our anti-colonial movements for years but are now supporting the Free Palestine movement. If you, someone living in the US, Canada or Australia or Aotearoa, are serious about the liberation of Palestine then you NEED to be just as serious about justice and liberation for the First Nations peoples' who's stolen and colonised land YOU live on. If you're not serious about where YOU fit in the paradigm of anti-colonial work, fix it. Here's a good place to start: if you're a person living on occupied Indigenous lands, learn who's land it really is, and how you can help them as an ally.

Also? If you claim you're supporting the Free Palestine movement because you care about indigenous people's rights, that means you need to care about the rights of Jews to live in THEIR native land, too. You don't need to support Israel or ignore the oppressive actions of its government, but if you go around claiming Jews aren't REALLY indigenous to Judea or that they've somehow forfeited or aged out of their tie to the land, or let others in your movement do so unopposed, that's not upholding the principles of anti-colonialism either.

heat intolerance for disabled people causes difficulty every summer but honestly my heart goes out to every disabled person in the parts of the world most affected by global warming. it's not just confined to summer. the heat levels reached are seriously dangerous to abled people in these areas, nevermind disabled people who are more vulnerable

[omegaverse]

I hate how people can openly complain about "overpopulation" in the global south and "low birthrates" in europe and japan

[omegaverse]

If you're white and you have 8 kids you have a big happy family and you could even get a tv show from it

If you're black and have 8 kids you're contributing to the downfall of the west

[sentient-carrot]

It's so blatantly racist, when talk of low birth rates come up here (In Norway, but I assume same in other european countries) the solution is never immigration or adoption. Immigration (from global south, not from white countries) is a problem that needs to be solved/stopped apparently, but we also need... More people to be born??? It is so transparently racist and based in white supremacy, I can scarcely fathom that it's still even said outright, aloud with 0 consequences.

Not to undermine the message, because yes, especially locally, votes count - but the only reason they were able to avoid the veto-override was that a couple more Republicans changed their votes from when they originally passed the legislation.

So, actually this is more "vote and" adding to the message rather than undermining, because at least one of those Repubs said her changed vote was due to people in her district contacting her and urging her not to support the override. So vote AND contact your reps.

Saying "voting doesn't matter" might reach your younger peers online but it certainly hasn't reached Clangus Hargbarg who was part of the kkk in 1951 and still sends in his ballot. He hasn't missed a one.

over 40.000 people have been buried in the old jewish cemetery in žižkov, prague, which was established in 1680.

however under the communist regime large parts of the cemetery were destroyed to build a park and a tv-tower in its place.

nowadays the cemetery hosts the monument ‘return of the stones' , which displays jewish gravestones which were cut up and used as paving stones during the communist rule.

ive found that partially treated mental illness can sometimes look to uninvolved onlookers like faked mental illness.

"someone who really has pOCD would be disgusted and horrified at their intrusive thoughts" or maybe i'm in therapy & am going by the books, being radically ambivalent to my intrusive thoughts instead of wasting energy mentally washing my paws of sin. i'm not going to perform my rock bottom for you for the sake of being believed.

[patricia-taxxon]

also like... something something, being afraid of healing because you're afraid of letting go of the stability of misery, letting go of the narrative you made up to feel worthy of attention, letting go of your "sympathy cred," this narrative has probably killed a few ppl.

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

Generally if you find yourself demanding to know why strangers aren't living more miserable lives, you're probably in the wrong.

no piece of teen media has ever accurately depicted the quiet psychological warfare of bullying. bullies on TV are always dumb brutes and not the evil geniuses of emotional manipulation that they are in real life. being given a wedgie and having your lunch money stolen is nothing in comparison to a classmate quietly creating a taboo against speaking to you that they intend to enforce against all the other kids. it’s nothing like continuous cutting comments from people you thought were being nice to you. that way that the work of one kid can make you feel like every person on earth silently hates you and that you are dirty, disgusting, worthless, creepy and useless. that you can have friends but many of them will not speak to you at school for fear of the social consequences on their end. how that damage lasts in any social setting for the rest of your life

you can’t even “tell a trusted adult” because you cannot begin to articulate the thousands of small transgressions you’ve experienced building to the horror of knowing your peers would like you dead. they don’t have to say it or hurt you physically. they have other ways of letting you know they’d prefer if you were worm food
