hey can I use my 13,700+ followers for good for once?
a lot of people expressed surprise the other week when I mentioned a local pride event that's gated and costs money to attend, and I agree wholeheartedly with everyone who finds that fucked up and distasteful.
well, there's a petition going around right now to start changing that. they're only asking for 100 signatures, but I think you guys could blow that out of the water 👀 take three seconds to sign and reblog?
I love this because Bart has the look of someone who got caught touching stuff in a museum. Like no, I did nothing wrong, I've been here the whole time.
god I've been so excited to get to Young Justice and it does not disappoint. Tim offers literally 0 explanation for this he just goes straight back to what he was talking about before he yelled at Bart. freakboy supreme.
I started making my own cold brew iced tea, and it is much better than anything I could buy.
I think it has something to do with “we have x at home” syndrome but something about paying the same for iced coffee and iced tea feels off to me. Like I will use points for coffee, something I have no desire to make, but tea? I will suffer through making the damn stuff and putting it in the fridge for an hour before I will pay for it
Sometimes I like to imagine Ariadne and her siblings that had the chance to meet Asterius. Or that she knew to use the yarn thing because she went to visit him thorough her life...
Also, like, the fuck did we know McDonald's was bad for you. Everyone knew. No one thought eating it a lot was good for you. But you know why people ate it a lot? Because it was cheap and easy. This doc taught us exactly one thing, that Morgan Spurlock is an idiot who doesn't understand poverty.
By existing as a citizen in and paying taxes to the imperial core, we automatically hold complicity in imperialist oppression because we are literally footing the bill for it. That is just the basic nature of being born to privilege in systems of oppression in general. We can be disadvantaged and marginalized in every single other consideration and we still have to understand and cope with this, and ensure we leverage it as effectively as possible.
Voting abstinence/sabotage does not absolve us of our responsibility to do everything in our power to lessen harm, but it DOES show that when our personal morals aren't satisfied, we retreat into (imperialist, this time) privilege to 'wash our hands' of the situation and declare it's not our fault and it's not our problem.
