drinking water when I have a headache should give instant relief. it should go away. what's even the point of drinking water if it can't do that

The rise of anti-intellectualism has been crazy to witness especially bc people aren’t putting the pieces together. Like more and more I’m seeing average every day people saying things like an education and even literacy are not necessary to earn a living. Meanwhile those in power are absolutely sending their children to the best schools and ensuring that they will receive accredited degrees. The people who hold economic, legal and social power are educated; why would you want to lock yourself out of being able to participate in those spaces? If knowledge was so useless, why do those in power not want you have it while they hoard it for themselves and their children?

no you guys don’t understand how insane the skam experience was. if you weren’t in norway, you were literally waiting for one of the many norwegian angels to take the clips that dropped in real time on the skam site on a daily basis, and translate and upload them to a google drive so everyone else could watch them. i literally watched that show via google drive and it was all thanks to the regular fans who took the time to translate the clips so others could enjoy the show. a whole community was built via google drive. and then a whole universe was built with about eight different remakes of the show coming out of one little show that started in norway and was only meant to stay in norway.

why bother caring about the environment when 1. It’s so obviously a lost cause and 2. There’s definitely going to be a nuclear war?

And what are you doing about it Anon? Learn about ecological restoration or get out of my way.

In my opinion it's a lot more healthy to be able to own that you dislike someone for petty reasons than to do all kinds of mental gymnastics to make everyone you don't really vibe with out to be a bad person actually

I want everyone to know that there are queers in the hollers of Appalachia, in the bayous and marshland of the Deep South, in Southwestern deserts, through the Ozark mountains and up to the Rockies. There are queers in the Great Plains, there are queers in rural America, in trailer parks of the Osage foothills. In the places you least expect us to live, we are here, carving out community and fighting for liberation with pride despite it all. Stop forgetting about us. Stop overlooking our experiences and our impact just because we don’t live in a Big Gay City. And for the love of God, stop looking at us with pity.
