A Life Worth Living

Hello, it is nice to meet you! My name is Ady Denn, and I'm 20 years old, just starting my life out of high school. I'm in a culinary college right now, trying to learn as much as I can before I start up my own restaurant! If you feel like talking,...

reblog to give your headache to elon musk instead

[coelii]

I’d just like to point out the growth in this post has mostly coincided with elon’s public spiral downward and I’d like to think we’re all a small part of that

bro can’t think because he’s just got a rager of a migraine 24/7

I do actually care marginally about the guy in that reddit screenshot who voted for Trump and is now worried that he might lose his medicaid funding because I did not fucking stutter when I said healthcare is a human right but the people losing their internships and job offers to the hiring freeze are straight up hilarious.

My mom was telling me about this YouTube video she watched (I can't remember the name, sorry) where the person shared a screenshot of some MAGA voter from Florida asking for help, because his wife had been hired for a nursing job with the VA in Texas, so they sold their house and were preparing to move. But they rescinded her job offer after Trump's executive order. The post from the guy was basically like "I already contacted Senator Ted Cruz's office, and they said they couldn't do anything about this. Please help me get this story to President Trump, we love him! We voted for him 3 times! And we know this was just a mistake and he'd help us!"

Just.................a part of me laughs, and another part of me thinks about how cult followers genuinely believe that the cult leader cares about them

This is the part about believing in universal human rights that can be a bit difficult: they're universal, and should never be denied anyone, no matter who they are or what they have done.

You can be – you should be – furious with people who voted for Trump, for wilfully trying to sabotage those rights and make them conditional, a privilege for the "deserving", a privilege they can deny the "wrong" kind of people.

And when the MAGA crowd are hit by the consequences of their actions, and denied basic human rights because it turns out their Great Leader doesn't actually include his followers among the privileged, it's tempting to say that they deserve to be denied those rights, because that's what they wanted to do to others.

But if you do that, you don't truly believe that those rights should be universal; you just have a different idea than the MAGA crowd about who should be included among the privileged.

You can still tell the MAGA who's crying that the leopards ate their face that you're angry with them for letting the face-eating leopards loose. But you shouldn't be fine with their face being eaten.

The key here, IMO, is the distinction between your emotional reaction to hearing about it and how you consciously believe people should be treated.

Having a positive emotional reaction, enjoying the schadenfreude or whatever, doesn’t mean you’re bad and isn’t something you need to suppress. You just need to also be able to say, “but that shouldn’t happen, not to them, not to anyone.”

This is a good articulation! I'm going to reblog this addition because I think it might be helpful for some people who are sorting out their feelings to see this stated so plainly!

reblog if you need a hug

[northerlygale-deactivated202307]

Reblog to give the person you reblogged this from a much needed hug

[darkwood-sleddog]

if you're waking up like me thinking "where do we even go from here?"

you:

build community & involve yourself locally

learn self sustainability skills

choose kindness

protect others & yourself

join or build a mutual aid group and/or network

find time for small joys (the arts, cooking a meal you love, spending time with loved ones, etc.)

In 2016, the day after the election, I didn't want to go to work. Probably a lot of people felt that way. But you went to work anyway. There was little else to do.

I came in to the bookstore, shared grimaces with everyone at the cash register and customer service desk, tried to smile through the children's section, and let myself into the staff room.

On the table-- nearly covering the table-- were these hearts. Some cut more irregular than others but each one held a message. A sign next to them said "take what you need". Later I would learn which co worker made these hearts and be forever grateful.

I picked up this heart. I kept it in my work lanyard until 2021, when I left the bookstore for greener pastures. This heart has been in my room, on my mirror, ever since.

I wish I could give this heart to each and every one of you. I wish I could cut out and write on thousands of paper heart and lay them out for you to take. Sharing a picture is the next best thing.

Please know that I mean it. I mean it with my whole chest. No matter the coming darkness, no matter what happens -- You are important. You are loved. Take what you need.

I see some people in the notes thinking that this is the Death card, but it's not. It's much funnier. It's the Five of Cups, upright, which symbolizes like. Loss. Disappointment. Emotional Suffering. You thought you were going to get something and then you didn't. Even more hilarious than Fox News bringing in a tarot card reader for Trump in 2024 is that same tarot reader immediately flipping over a card that says LOSER.

Like to charge, vote to cast, god I'm tired

Maybe I DO believe in tarot...

If you haven't heard a National March on Washington in solidarity with Palestine is being planned for Nov. 4. If you can't make it (like me) consider donating to ANSWER Coalition to cover transportation costs for buses to help get as many people to the march as possible.

Donate to Build the Movement in Solidarity with Palestine
