what they dont tell you about adulthood is that it’s startlingly easy to go long periods of time without having any fun at all not even a little bit. btw this causes ur brain to try to kill you with knives and hammers.

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

There's another post on here where this woman talks about dating a rich guy and she was like "oh you can't drink alcohol on a public sidewalk here" and he was like "Sure you can -- it's $500." Like he'd done it often enough that he had the "price" memorized.

the word "privilege" comes from the Latin privilegium, meaning "private law," or law granting one person or group benefits others don't enjoy

I remember reading an article about Koch Industries that said they just budget in fines for violating environmental regulations and lawsuit settlements for damage and accidents caused by broken pipelines -- it’s cheaper than installing cleaner, safer equipment.

Fines that aren’t adjusted to the means of the violator are worse than useless.

Punishable by fine = legal for the rich

This is true most places, but not everywhere. I have long been a fan of the Day Fine system, used in most Nordic countries. In this system, the fines are not set amounts of currency, they are set proportions of how much you make in a day or a week or a year. (And that includes investment income.) Small fine? Half a day’s wages. Big fine? Couple days’ wages.

So if you’re poor, the fine is small. Which, especially when combined with a minimum wage that actually reflects the cost of living and is automatically adjusted for inflation annually, means that fines are rarely devastating.

If you’re rich, the fine can be ... quite substantial. In Finland, for example, a really rich person once got a $100k speeding ticket. Ordinary rich people can pay in the $30k-$50k range. Which means that the fine is large enough that rich people actually ... care about it.

I read an article about a year ago, which I now cannot find, about a guy in Sweden who got a $50k parking ticket. He was furious, outraged, all over social media. Most Swedes were not sympathetic. But the article pointed out that the guy had spent the previous six months in an American city (DC, I think?) where he had racked up around $50k in total parking and driving tickets over the course of that six months (which breaks down to approximately $2,000 in tickets every week). Because each individual violation was small enough that he didn’t care, and even accumulating up to $50k, it still wasn’t enough to be actually painful in any way to him. So in both places, the US and Sweden, the guy spent the same amount of money on tickets. The difference is, in the US none of that money made any difference to his behavior. He continued to break traffic and parking laws. In Sweden, he double-parked once, and thereafter followed the law. Because while he could easily afford to spend $2,000/week in tickets, he couldn’t afford to spend $50k/week in parking tickets.

I want people to stop attacking nonbinary people who describe their genders in abstract, flowery terms. And I want them to stop dismissing them as “just teenagers who don’t know any better”, too.

You know why? Because cis people do the same thing all the time and nobody bats an eye about it.

Manhood and womanhood are associated with symbols, colors, animals, astronomical objects, mythological figures, a whole list of things that have no inherent gendered properties, and that’s fine. (A lot of those symbols are stereotypical, but some binary people still embrace them, while others have come up with alternate symbols that better reflect what being a man or woman means to them.)

If men and women can describe their genders in abstract, symbolic, poetic terms, so can nonbinary people.

I kind of wish that the idea that you can just be was a little more mainstream.

Like, having drive and ambition is great. But it gets drilled in kids’ heads that there is some pressure to constantly be looking for the next move up, to be bigger than life. It wears you down to never be satisfied.

Not everyone is destined for greatness. It just doesn’t suit some people.

There’s nothing wrong with having a quiet life, making enough to get by, having a small apartment where you’re comfortable, and just living. You don’t have to constantly be looking to go onward and upwards. Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to just be.

This. This is how you break down ableist barriers. This is incredible for the deaf and for the custies. I would love to learn sign language, and I would learn it faster if it was standing between me and booze
