the cats have barricaded themselves under the bed and idk how we're going to get them out tbh - ready for this shit to be over but i'm sure there will be fireworks happening randomly for at least another week

tbh i’m afraid the dog’s gonna make himself sick. he’s getting old and he’s looking all frantic and worn right now bc he cannot handle this shit. and the fact that this is already the third night of this and he’s got a couple more to go before all the douchebags are done? it ain’t good

a moment of silence for all the poor pets stressed out of their minds by assholes setting of fireworks

tbh i can't believe your parents went to see that - like how could they not see the blatantly clear parallels??! they blow my mind

my dad is actually marginally more chill than i thought he was a couple of years ago. i mean that’s not really saying a whole lot, but i was never particularly worried about how he would react to the show. mom though. mom is hot mess. 

so the conversation started with my mom saying that she’d like to believe that something like that would never happen again and that stuff like the muslim registry wouldn’t happen and then i went off about how the only that’s not gonna happen is if we actively fight against and use our safer position as upper-middle class white women to help boost the conversation rather than ignore issues because they don’t affect us and things kind of went downhill from there. she mentioned how there are some crazy muslims that are bad and i said that there are way more christians that are scary bad than there are muslims and no tries to make every christian responsible for what one bad christian did and it just was a huge mess. but i might have addressed the “you only see things one way” claim better than i did previously so go me? i don’t know. i’m just so sick of the brick wall that is talking racism or sexism or islamophobia or what the fuck ever with my mom.

yes good, there have been a lot of conversations about what books we should have in the library in the wake of the confederate flag bs and where the censorship line is and just yes good

i don’t know if you’ve read the library bill of rights or ala’s freedom to read and freedom to view statements but they can be so frustrating. like in practice yes good make sure everyone has access to information but in practice it often means you’re giving just as much weight or more to bigots as you are to the people they’re attacking, especially when you’re feeding off of a western canon. plus this is on top of the racism and white christian focus of the library of congress and dewey decimal classification systems (which is the subject of the essay i’m writing for my organization of knowledge class because it fucking pisses me the hell off) which makes it easier to find racist shit than it is to find diverse material. libraries still have a LOT of systematic inequalities that need to be addressed and like half of the assignments i’ve been doing have been me complaining about that.
