Look, we joke a lot, but really, "you were born evil, wretched, worse than the scum of the earth, and it took killing a god to make you salvageable, so now you'd better be grateful to that god and thank him 10,000 times a day for it and fill your thoughts with him 24/7 and abide by the letter of his every word, lest you suffer unimaginable torture for all of eternity" is a truly horrendous thing to believe about yourself and other people

Oh and I want to fight all the Gen Z kids who are like ‘teehee, we’ll just do lavender marriages instead!’ Some of us are adults who want equal rights and protections under the law of our land.
#I remember when ppl were like#marriage equality is just assimilation into the cisheteropatriarchy#it’s so much more radical and ~queer~ to not get married#which is so privileged and ignorant of gay history#ie the AIDS crisis#marriage equality = legal protections#plus I was a girly girl who wanted a wedding and damned if I’m not going to have one!

It’s crazy that countries on the edge of the Sahara desert are reversing desertification by just digging half circles

being so staunchly anti generative ai while everyone around you is "i used chatgpt" and "i asked grok" and google search is useless and every company is implementing ai and every single celeb is taking ai money and partnering with ai is like... it's so jarring. why can't you see the harm like i can? why are you so lazy? why are we making society this stupid? can we please stop? it's killing people does that not matter to you?

"two things can be true at once" is quite possibly the single most important idea you need to internalise to be a decent activist.
just over here in my local context, it's truly fucking mind-blogging the number of people who can't comprehend "Scotland benefitted from being an active part of the British colonial centre and needs to address that legacy as an oppressor of the Global South and also Scotland has faced centuries of cultural and economic colonisation by England." people want to believe just one or the other so badly. these are not mutually exclusive ideas!!
#this is not hard#as a NZer/Australian of Scottish descent I am aware that my people have been both colonised AND colonisers#nuance exists#neither one negates the other#but at the end of the day I am still a white girl living on stolen land#who also hates the English and the monarchy lmao
