When I was 19-21 years old living on the streets in california the people who cared for me the most were never the people who could care for me comfortably. It was never the channels that were intended to or designed to help me. Not my dad or my local government or anyone with the authority to make things happen. It was my friend's stoner mom who got by on community aid who made me the best damn lentil soup ill ever have (no really that ruined the dish for me nothing has ever come close to that soup) and let me sleep on her floor. It was my ex who hated my guts but still set me up with toiletries when i needed them. It was the father of a classmate who met me by coincidence one time in a park and brought me home to share taco night together. It was the barista who got in trouble for giving me free coffee. It was the other homeless person who I shared some candy with who gave me his blanket. It was the randos at the bar who brought me to get stitches one night. The have-nots have always had more to give than people who believe themselves in a position of power. You can pick any one ivy league graduate and they will have a sob story for you. They will have excuses for why they don't care. They're scared and gormless and it'll take a hell of a lot to make me care about them. I guess what I'm trying to say is that as much as everything sucks and we're all fucked over every day, nothing can ever impede your own actions more than the feeling that you cannot make an impact. The initiative needed to make the world a better place lurks in everyone, it's your responsibility to nourish it. Volunteer somewhere, talk to someone on a bad day, give people the time of day to explain themselves. When you can, reach out to help someone. And when you can't, don't ignore them. Be kind to your friends and neighbors. It's literally always been and will always be about community. I love every one of you truly.

i kind of feel like if you take "don't bomb iran" as an endorsement of the iranian government, you're not intellectually ready to engage in conversations about real-world politics. Go talk about steven's universe instead

What consequences will Trump face for his false claims of a WOMD in Iran and starting a completely avoidable war, potentially causing hundreds of thousands of deaths?

Even 10-15 years from now, when the political machine has chugged along and left him behind — will he be punished? Will anyone in America hold him accountable for his claims?

George Bush Jr. is drinking lemonade and doing oil paintings somewhere and neoliberals are still applauding him for being a “moderate” Republican

So I dunno. Probably none? Which sucks because these men don’t deserve to have skin.

Undocumented immigration is not a violent crime. It is a misdemeanor.

Capitalism is the violent criminal.

I'll make a separate post but big happy Juneteenth!!! us black folks are far from freedom as we are still systemically oppressed, but today we celebrate the day where we get a step closer to liberation.

big hearts for black folks out there, especially black trans people who carry the American LGBT movement on their backs yet don't receive much flowers. ily

"my trauma made me mean/cruel/violent, it's not my fault." no the hell it did not: you chose that. cruelty and violence are responses, which make them choices. trauma does not absolve you from the decisions you make.

trauma does not make you cruel or violent- those are actions and behaviors the individual chooses in response to something. trauma can make you bitter and hateful, but it does not FORCE you to be cruel to others. your trauma is not separate from you, it is in fact a part of YOU that needs to be worked on. it is not a separate entity holding you at fucking gunpoint forcing you to hurt other people just because you were hurt. you are always responsible for how you respond to your trauma. always. no matter what. does not matter how bad you've been hurt or what was done to you. you're not special, you do not get a pass to hurt other people.

stop using the victim card to justify hurting other people and repeating the abusive actions done to you. as a trauma survivor who has PTSD and DID, being traumatized has and will never justify me hurting someone else, and it will never justify you hurting someone else, either, especially if it's on purpose or knowingly. it doesn't matter if you were hurt, you don't get to hurt other people. that's not how this shit works. you're not walking trauma, you're a person with trauma. you're a person first, traumatized second. constantly reducing yourself to your trauma is why you feel so powerless, hateful, and like you aren't even a person at all. you also have to knuckle up and learn how to grow past it in order to avoid hurting others and repeating the cycle of abuse.

doesn't matter the type or severity of the abuse: stop justifying cruelty.

take responsibility.

everyone hates orange until they actually see her in context. "oh it's such an ugly color, too bright!" look at sunsets and autumn, look at campfires and deserts. she's the most beautiful and special part of the scene. now apologize.
