like you really aren't allowed to say shit about southerners until you have firsthand seen how people live deep in the appalachian hollers because it is fucking tragic. the poverty and the food desert and the lack of resources in general is so bad. the drugs. yall dont understand

if you like a piece of media that is good eventually youll more or less run out of things to say about how good it is but if you like a piece of media that is objectively pretty mediocre but also somehow deeply compelling thats how the demons get you

For decades stoners were renowned for their aesthetics. For their blacklight posters and lava lamps, for their airbrushed dragon murals and electrical shock orb thingies from Spencer Gifts. Then they legalized weed and every weed store became the flattest, emptiest minimalist void imaginable. They're putting a weed store in a former Rainforest Cafe and they're tearing out all of the rainforest decor to make it just a big empty space with walls painted the blandest green they can find. They tore down paradise and put up a place where a business major tries to tell you CDB oil can cure cancer

Wish there was a better social shorthand for “I’m sure they’re a lovely person in their own way but we are so baseline incompatible that being around them longer than five minutes makes me feel like exploding into smithereens.”

Tired of explaining over and over again every election season that you're asking us which poison we'd prefer to drink, that this entire empire is standing on the promise of killing and exploiting and humiliating and erasing us, only for someone to still interpret it as "Oh, so you'd prefer Republicans?" No, we really, really wouldn't. You're not listening. You're not letting us criticize Biden because you see that as an endorsement of Trump. You're asking us to zip our mouths shut and pretend we don't see anything wrong with him because otherwise we'd be "helping" that other guy who decidedly also hates us, as though we have any love for him or any motive to help him. You blame us for highlighting Biden's shortcomings that lead to his decline, instead of blaming *him* for his shortcomings that lead to his decline. Either way we get the blame. Either way it's the poison.

if your take on climate catastrophe is "enh, I'll just die" let me tell you;

it takes a long time to just die, way, way longer than you're ready for. Death isn't on your schedule.

I've lived seventeen years past my official expiry so far, and not a day goes by when I don't struggle with the wish to have been dead already. Facts of pain. There's not a lot of choice that goes along with it. If I were going to end it myself I would have done so fifteen years ago.

A belief that you can't have any impact on climate catastrophe is in error. Sitting around waiting to die is exactly what the world's stupidest and most evil people want you to do.

Don't do what the world's stupidest and most evil people want you to do.

love seeing revisionism in the wild “free the nipple never meant you can walk around topless every where that’s still sexual harassment it just meant for like breastfeeding and stuff”no it literally means you should be able to walk around topless anywhere because get this. breasts aren’t fucking sexual organs.

theres a lot of the way “male gaze” have been popularly misintrepeted, but the whole “male gaze vs. female gaze” shit that is so dumb and also deeply implictly heterosexual. bc the question these people are asking themselves is “what i think straight men find attractive vs. what i think heterosexual women will think look cool” and its so annoying on so many levels

Massive protests against the 2024 Finance Bill continue in Nairobi and across Kenya. Parliament has been stormed, and City Hall set on fire.

The bill imposes taxes that will further impoverish those already suffering from the increasing cost of living. The government even tried to put a tax on bread and cooking oil, but this was apparently withdrawn. The International Monetary Fund is putting pressure on president Ruto to impose austerity measures and raise taxes.

Supreme Court staff and lawyers helping demonstrators with water.

Some protestors have been shot, with fatalities. The police have apparently arrested a number of paramedics trying to treat the wounded.

Homes of several MPs who support the finance bill have been looted and set ablaze. I have no sympathy.

A protestor stated:

“We are the flames burning up the country. We cannot stand still while we are robbed and made poor. “This movement will not stop until we have won. They can kill us but they can’t beat down our movement.”

At a certain point, we all have to take responsibility for our beliefs. There seems to be a weird belief in some moderates that the system may be bigoted, but individuals can't be held accountable. There's racism, but nobody's racist. There's misogyny, but nobody's misogynistic. There's homophobia and transphobia, but no one's homophobic or transphobic. There's imperialism and murder in the US military but we can't judge the willing participants in colonization and murder and rape and torture.
