Sooooo few people are actually willing to defend the basic human rights of people who have committed crimes. Like I know it's not fun but if you genuinely believe in human rights as a concept you can't be okay with the state violating them in prisons I'm sorrrrry. Having moral principles is not always a fun time.

Everyday i'm reminded that no one could ever even come close to serve as much cunt as this gay ass demon.

She absolutely thought that was gonna be some kind of sick fucking burn but it was not

[doubleca5t]

If I had a nickel for every time a prominent right-wing media figure tried to pull a sick burn on twitter and in doing so, inadvertently implied that they want to have sex with one of their biological parents I would have two nickels

I had a tattoo client ask if I ever used AI to design tattoos for me. Man I spent the better part of a decade doing shitty bit work as a graphic designer and now that I have the space to do whatever I want, I'm gonna let the computer generate random garbage for me? What next should I have a computer that eats my dinner and fucks my wife?

I feel like people get so hung up on the results of a thing that they don't appreciate that the process of making it is, actually, enjoyable.

It's like if you have a friend who likes to bake, asking if they'd like to just buy cupcakes from the store instead of making them. The end result of the cupcake is secondary to the joy you get from having made cupcakes.

Art isn't a slog or a chore or something I want to avoid. Art is fun. It's rewarding. It feels good to do it. You may as well be asking me if I want the AI to watch television for me, it doesn't make any sense, I'm not participating and would gain nothing from it.

"photograph of a young palestinian girl flying her kite on al-waha beach, gaza, 2011. on this day, 6,200 palestinian children filled the gaza sky with kites, achieving the guinness world record for most kites flown simultaneously. the culture of kite flying amongst gaza youth remains a symbol of resilience, creativity, and joy. over the past 7 weeks, the amount of children killed by the israeli state has nearly surpassed this number, continuing to rise each day. we must continue calling for a permanent ceasefire now. the devastation must end" — via @azeemamag on instagram

Someone posted something about this to Pinterest and all the comments are women going “no that’s not what love languages were made for it’s supposed to tell you how your partner shows love even if it isn’t the same as you!” And only one person on there was saying “this was the original purpose and they reprinted the book with different text because the first one was so blatantly misogynistic propaganda”

[sandersgrey]

Unpopular opinion but literally not one person in the world should have their human rights violated

[sandersgrey]

If one person's rights can be waved away, so can yours

[cumaeansibyl]

yes, even those people.

Fuck it, adding on: This is why it's frustrating to see criminal defense lawyers getting a bad rep.

The right to a fair trial is a human right. In practice, a fair trial necessitates a lawyer. This means that even if somebody committed the worst crimes you could possibly imagine, they still deserve a lawyer.

Somebody has to defend them as a matter of human rights. As one of my professors said, way back in my first semester at uni: "Everybody deserves to have somebody in their corner."

[assassinregrets]

nb the source of criminal defense attorneys getting a bad rep is always, always copaganda. same with the incredibly bullshit narrative of “if you didn’t do anything wrong then why do you need a lawyer?” the purpose of both these terrible stupid pro-cop arguments are to deny you your legal rights.

Someone else said it very well here on this website:

A government whose people lose their rights once they become criminals has a very vested interest in making their critics criminals.

everyone's being really embarrassing about the barbie oscars thing im gonna be totally real

[ankle-beez]

a native-american actress got into the best actress category for the first time in the history of the oscars and instead of celebrating that we gotta hear thinkpieces about how the movie that's up for 8 oscars (including best picture) missing out on 2 additional oscar noms is an affront against feminism or whatever
