The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

FARENHEIT 451 IS ON THE BANNED BOOKS LIST??? IT’S LITERALLY ABOUT THE SOCIETAL DANGERS OF BANNING/OUTLAWING/BURNING BOOKS ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

That’s the reason it’s on the bloody list.

BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT HOW BANNING AND BURNING BOOKS IS WRONG.

How the fuck…

The following banned books were required reading in my high school. X indicates that I didn’t read them but someone in a different class did.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (X)

Catcher in the Rye

Fahrenheit 451

The Great Gatsby

To Kill a Mockingbird (X)

The Scarlet Letter (X)

AND THE REST OF THEM WERE AVAILABLE IN MY SCHOOL’S LIBRARY WTF

You know what else I had to read?

1984. Which has since been placed on the banned books list.

The Outsiders is also on the list now, which I was forced to read in middle school.

My middle school history teacher made us read Uncle Tom’s Cabin too.

You know what, looking back on it, my friends and I survived the Bush Presidency

We would have survived a McCain Presidency

We would have survived a Romney Presidency

I honestly worry that there are some people who would not survive a Trump Presidency

I don’t care how much you love Gary Johnson, or Jill Stein. On November 8, 2016, one of two things will be true: either Hillary Clinton will be elected President, or Donald Trump will be elected President.

Which one, HONESTLY, would be worse?

This isn’t the year to “vote your conscience.”

There’s a fucking dangerous man one election away from being President.

This is the year to vote to survive.

Any other year, this would be an exaggeration. We survived Bush, we could have survived McCain or Romney. This year, Trump’s danger is no exaggeration.

Don’t vote your conscience, vote to survive.

heyitscdubs

We will not, not, NOT SURVIVE Trump.

notsafef0rtwerk

The LGBT community will not survive.

The communities of middle eastern descent will not survive.

Women, especially women who want a right to choose, will not survive.

The black community will not survive.

The latino community will not survive.

The disabled community will not survive.

I guarantee that there are more groups.

We as a country will not survive a Trump-Pence Presidency

goldstar-goldfish-deactivated20

The poor will not survive

rainxcanndy

Please understand that Trump plans to not only do what the US did to Japanese Americans in WWII on a massive level with Mexicans and Muslims but also destroy the economy with it

biglawbear

Somehow this post is going around again and it’s appeared on my own dash and I still think Trump is going to kill us all. Y'all’s protest votes did nothing.

biglawbear

Hey look it’s my post from 2016

Now that it’s almost 2020, can you see that this wasn’t a fucking exaggeration

Do you understand now

This is going around again and now that we’re in the Democratic Primaries and y'all are already saying about how you’ll stay home if you’re favorite doesn’t win I’d just like to remind y'all that people are dying in the Trump administration

People are dying in concentration camps at the border

Trump rolled back Obamacare and now millions more people are without insurance

Trump is rolling back environmental regulations and climate change and pollution will kill us

States are banning abortion which will affect millions of poor women and women of color and SCOTUS night overturn Roe v Wade

Hate crimes against Jews and people of color and LGBT people are going up

There are Nazis in the White House and marching in the streets

And Trump has given tax cuts to billionaires and appointed judges that will take away your constitutional rights

Are you happy with your choice to vote third party? To stay home? Was it worth it? Was all of this worth it?

We’re facing the same choice again. We can’t have four more years of this.

Fight like hell for your candidate in the primaries. Then if and when they lose, get in line behind the winner.

We failed in 2016. The life and death stakes in 2020 are even higher.

Vote. For. Democrats.

The first sentiment in this post has gotten more literal as 2020 wears on.

I haven’t even updated this post to reflect the pandemic because I just

Tens of thousands of people are dead y'all. Obama and Biden had an entire infrastructure, a system to deal with pandemics and Trump abolished the office and ignored reports of the virus for months

When the curve of infections increases exponentially, even acting one day earlier could have saved thousands of lives

And Trump ignored it for months

Unemployment is now higher than at any time since the great depression

I knew people would die but I never imagined that Trump would be responsible for this many deaths and the worst economic disaster in a century

We have to vote for Biden. I don’t like Biden. I wanted someone progressive. Someone who didn’t sexually assault someone. But this is literally life and death.

(also Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 87 years old and has been hospitalized multiple times in the last year and we cannot allow Trump to appoint her replacement on the Supreme Court or continue giving lifetime appointments to judges to lower Federal courts)

people seem to believe that organic farming is just a bunch of hippies who are in denial about agro-chemicals and genetic engineering, and that may be true a lot of the time for our consumer base, but they don’t think much past that. organic farmers are smart. hearing from dozens and dozens of them, what they really care for is the soil health. organic farming is about trying to increase your farm biodiversity in crop and animal species but also in microbial soil life. and you cannot build microbial life in your soil if you are spraying. organic farming is about building organic matter in your soil, and regenerating it. to build a more resilient agricultural model is vital in today’s time. we have destroyed our soils, and continue to, at such a rapid pace.

and I’m sorry that many people will never see past the pseudo-science spewing people in this field, but I do see the true value in it. my wish is to see more people involved in agriculture, knowing more about their food system, getting involved.. and of course I most importantly want to make it affordable. because organic food shouldn’t be a rich man’s game.

So if you look in the lower right-hand corner of that last panel with the unicorn, you’ll see that it looks like something was erased or pasted over. Know why? Because this isn’t the original version of the cartoon.

This is:

Yeah, that’s right. This entire strip is a comment on antisemtism and y’all changed it to be more “fun” and deleted the artist’s signature in the process. So anyway, this isn’t just some helpful infographic or a silly meme, it’s a commentary on how Jews have been getting blamed for world’s ills for 2,000 years, and whoever erased that panel can fuck right off for eternity.

soulofthebloodofthewolf-deactiv

honestly missionaries are evil. the idea of traveling the world to tell people Who Didnt Fucking Ask that their beliefs are wrong in the hopes that theyll adopt your beliefs seems sinister

kittyinhighheels

The Christians in the notes whining are so absolutely stupid

ajunlost

I don’t even want to talk about how they specifically target poor people and hold basic necessities over their heads in exchange for faith.

cowboymalewife

“I read about an [Inuit] hunter who asked the local missionary priest, ‘If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?’ ‘No,’ said the priest, ‘Not if you did not know.’

‘Then why,’ asked the [Inuit] earnestly, ‘did you tell me?” -Annie Dillard

bullydyke-deactivated20210902

My culture and our religious practices (Inuit) have been decimated by Christianity and I fucking hate pretending its a neutral thing.

piya-re

Christians in the notes still don’t get it. They’re saying that missionaries aren’t that bad bc they’re just trying to save all ppl and they’ve started quoting bible verses and whatnot but here’s the thing: I. Don’t. Believe. In. That. Like your beliefs and scriptures are non applicable to me (and everyone else who isn’t Christian, or at least abrahamic) bc we’re not christian and I literally don’t care if you think we “need to be saved from Satan” or smg bc frankly, it’s not your business and that “well meaning, innocent” intention is still forcing your religion onto us. OP is right. Missionaries are evil. Leave other religions tf alone.

wiisagi-maiingan

One half of my family is Native Christians via forced conversion.

The other half is white Christians, including missionaries.

I can tell you that missionaries don’t just invalidate other religions (mainly indigenous religions) to try to convert people, they blatantly hold valuable resources hostage to convert people.

They’ll provide books to communities with low literacy rates… but all the books are bibles or otherwise Christian-centric.

They’ll host free meals for the whole community… but the people have to attend a church sermon before they’re allowed to have food.

They’ll host events and groups for kids… but all the education and activities are about Christianity.

Missionaries blatantly take advantage of scared and vulnerable communities, who are like that because of Christian colonialism, to forcefully convert them and kill off their religions and cultures.

mocktext

they do this in their home countries too with ‘support’ for homeless people and others dealing with food insecurity.

the one experience that unites all 90s and early 2000s kids is experiencing at least one work of fiction with a deceptively adorable illustration of cute animals on the cover who live in societies with an established political system, hierarchy of leadership and culture and are driven from their homes by human activity and/or engage in violent conflicts with other animals in similar communities that lead to many of the characters’ brutal deaths, which are described in graphic detail and which left you briefly emotionally traumatized by being confronted with the concept of your own fragile mortality before you were 10

valtsv

it has been brought to my attention that this was an ENTIRE GENRE of children’s fiction for some reason

ryanlewisandclark

If you don’t include these films, your list of childhood trauma is incomplete:

2. The point of this genre of children’s entertainment is very important. It’s to Practice feeling Big, Difficult Emotions, but in a safe way where the dangers or risks or loses are softened. Our brain doesn’t differentiate between “my grandparent died” sad and “oh no that character’s Mommy died” sad. It is easier to process the former sadness if one has practice via the latter sadness.

Because we can practice with a safety net, in the emotional Holodeck of fiction, we can be prepared for the painful, scary, difficult parts of real life.

These works and their creators are incredibly important.

And in case y'all were under the impression that he works hard to make that money, he's publicly proud of not doing a whole lot of hard work at all. He also revealed that he doesn't allow office birthday lunches and thinks his sexiest quality is that he does the dishes. This man is a leech and contributes nothing to the world, not even measly sales tax.
