[chocolate-and-discourse]

Sorry, I could never be a capitalist, I suffer from “wanting humans to have their basic needs met” disorder, where I care about people who aren’t me.

Someone once asked me if, assuming we got universal healthcare, I would be okay with the rise in “healthcare tourism” where people who are sick come to our country to get their medical bills taken care of and life-saving medical treatment cheaper than in their home countries. I was just like, yeah thats fine, I’d actually prefer it if 0 people died from preventable causes kept behind a paywall for no reason.

“even the addicts?” yeah dude did i fucking stutter

Thank you grandma, for gifting me the fattest turnip from your garden

Some individuals with AD/HD, especially without hyperactivity, have an activation problem as described by Thomas Brown, Ph.D. in his article AD/HD without Hyperactivity (1993). Rather than a deficit of attention, this means that individuals can’t deploy attention, direct it, or put it in the right place at the right time. He explains that adults who do not have hyperactivity often have severe difficulty activating enough to start a task and sustaining the energy to complete it. This is especially true for low-interest activities. Often it means that they can’t think of what to do so they might not be able to act at all, or, as Kate Kelly and Peggy Ramundo say in You Mean I’m Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!, they might experience a “paralysis of will” (pg. 65). “The clothes from my trip—a month ago—are just still lying in a heap in the suitcase.” “I spend a lot of time in bed watching TV but my mind isn’t watching TV. I’m thinking about what I should be doing, but I don’t have the energy to do it.”

Seriously, the most useless people in every leftist activist group are the ones who refuse to see progress as, well, progress, and instead are obsessed with the idea of fomenting Revolution on a truly massive scale, because “that’s the only way things will ever truly change.” Not that they’re actually going out and trying to START that revolution ever, mind you. They’ll just keep telling you that that’s the only real solution, and until that happens, until they can get their absolutely perfect outcome, they’ll just sit on their asses and tell the rest of us that what we’re doing is useless. Which is bullshit, of course.

[argyle4eva]

This is closely tied to the, “I won’t vote until the perfect unicorn candidate appears on the ballot, which means in practice that I just never vote” mindset, which is equally pointless and even more damaging.

[eruphadriel]

I was once told, “Don’t throw out the good in favour of the perfect” and I think that can apply here. Like, I can reduce my own carbon footprint for whatever that may be worth while also fighting to hold massive corporations accountable for destroying the earth’s many ecosystems in order to earn more money than I’ll ever see in my lifetime.

[unapologeticexistence]

Spot on. Like Coretta Scott King said, I must remind you that starving a child is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her family is violence. Discrimination against a working man is violence. Ghetto housing is violence. Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence.

Idk who needs to hear this but non-Native people who want to build a communist or socialist state to replace Canada & the US are just as colonialist as their capitalist counterparts.

If the movement doesn’t prioritize returning governance to Indigenous people it’s just colonizing but a little to the left

[archae-heart-deactivated2021012]

Ok, so let’s talk a little more about the Land Back movement. I saw a ton of white nonsense in the notes comparing the call to return indigenous land to indigenous people to—I shit you not—Nazi Germany and ethnonationalism. We’re not even going to give those clowns a debate platform. We’re just here to laugh at them. That said, I also saw legitimately good points asking where this movement would leave Black people who, while not Native, are certainly not colonizers. Land Back is inherently a movement for Indigenous people and descendants of slaves. It should and does include reparations for the land loss and theft experienced by slaves post-emancipation (the effects of which are still seen and felt today).

All this said, Land Back means different things to different indigenous people and their tribes.

Some really do literally mean the return of U.S. land to tribal nations and ADOS is something that SHOULD happen, but we’re not a bunch of idiots. We understand that’s not a pragmatic or achievable solution (currently) and return of land =/= forcibly removing or committing mass genocide of people that don’t look like us. That’s something only savages do, and we have never been savages.

Other times it means protecting Turtle Island, all of us who live here, as a collective. Love the land and the land will love us back. Land back = the key to restoring ecosystems. Listen to indigenous people. We have always known these lands better than y’all.

It is also an empowering political statement from indigenous leaders to their people, to keep fighting for our treaties, for the right to self-govern, to continue the long process of de-colonizing ourselves, to harness our own power, to restore our cultures.

As far as literal repatriation of land goes, it’s not a far fetched or impossible idea. It has been done and is being done. It’s far from simple, but land stewardships, land trusts, and land transfers are all legal mechanisms to achieve this. And it doesn’t mean you (the donor) must leave the land. Oftentimes it means paying taxes to the tribe itself but still being able to live on/use the land; it just makes it so that the land has been returned to the tribe. In theory this would be the solution for indigenous people getting our land back without this big dramatic forced exodus of white people that racists pretend to be so worried about. It’s too complicated to really delve into here but this is a good link for a brief overview of the idea behind it.

And remember, today is a good day to stop being a low life piece of fucking garbage in the ✨ notes ✨

Honestly as a blind person I’m so tired of seeing fictional blind characters who don’t use white canes or other guides. “They have special powers so they know what’s around them” or “they’re confident enough to not need a guide” are common tropes, and I’m tired.

Are people scared that using a white cane will make their blind character seem weak? They can’t use a cane because they’re so special that they already know what’s around them, and other blind people who use guides are inferior because they’re not special?

I’m tired. Give your blind characters white canes and other guides. Let them hold onto their friends, let them have guide dogs. Don’t make white cane users feel ostracized for not being “strong enough” to go without.

Another thing that pisses me off is when a sighted character comes up with the fantasy equivalent of braille and teaches it to the blind character. Braille was invented by Louis Braille, a blind man, in 1824. The blind character should be the one coming up with it.

Tldr I’m blind and tired of sighted people lol

🔪 Sighted People MUST Reblog This 🔪

As a blind person- fucking YES!!!

Kill the idea too that us over 35 aren’t able to have fun. Many women have more fun after 40. It’s silly to think fun stops at 25 considering that your brain is fully developed at 25 and you probably have better coping skills.

reblogging because I think there needs to be more notes and more people comfortable with the idea that adulthood is a lie.

1.7% of people are intersex, 2% have green eyes, and 1.5 percent are redheads, but yeah red is a natural hair color, green is a natural eye color, and being intersex is a 'deformity'. Keep pretending gender isn't a social construct
