“It doesn’t matter if your skin is brown. It doesn’t matter if you’re white. It doesn’t matter if you’re a veteran or you serve this country. They don’t care. They’re just there to fill a quota.” Those are the words of George Retes, a veteran and U.S. citizen who was detained by federal agents during an ICE raid at a Southern California farm. Despite identifying himself as a citizen multiple times, federal agents pepper sprayed him and dragged him from his vehicle. He was thrown in a cell for three days, where he was not allowed to contact his family or a lawyer. He was forced to remain covered in tear gas and pepper spray, as he was not allowed to shower or change clothes. When he was finally released, agents gave him *no explanation* for why he was arrested and detained. When immigrants don’t receive due process as required by the Constitution, no one does. We are no longer on the path to fascism. Fascism is here. Now more than ever, we must protect each other – especially the most vulnerable among us. Keep speaking out. Keep standing up. Tyranny only wins if we submit to it.

The thing about ADHD is that the "lack of reward chemicals in your brain" doesn't just mean that you don't want to do any tasks that don't feel particularly yummy :(, it means that your brain will look at chores and tasks that need to be done like "doing this would be painful and tedious for absolutely nothing to gain from it, Do Not Do That." The same thing that your brain tells you about everything else that would feel really bad and hurt the entire time that you're dying. The part of your brain that stops you from doing the thing is the same part that keeps you from shoving your arm into a wood chipper.

With unmedicated, unmanaged ADHD, "I have to do this assignment or I fail and my life will be ruined and I die" feels like a SAW trap, every single time.

there is no excuse for working with or for ICE. these people are evil to the core. masked cowards and abusers elevated to a secret police that can get away with stories like these every single week.

queer joy — a zine

this was my final project for a class, the prompt was to create a zine about something we cared about — anything in the world we felt like creating about — and create it. the only real requirement was that we said something important to us with it. also use a quote and writing 100 words of original work but. yknow.

Edit: at the suggestion of @fritzllang​, I have made a playlist! It has these fifteen songs, but I might add some others too.

If you ever feel inadequate, just remember that there were millions of people that believed Trump wasn't just the anti-war candidate, but that he would literally end all wars globally.

A new fool born everyday, and most of them wear red hats.
