This isnt really directed at any one person, but all the people that come exploding out of the woodwork when something unjust and untenable happens somewhere far away from their comfy little Internet hole.

Hatred fixes very little, especially if what you're hating are people who have very little power to change the shit you're pissed about. This is doubly true when you can muster that hatred for the benefit far off people who you've never met and will never meet, but not the people in your own backyard.

Its reactionary. It makes you feel righteous and full of purpose. And then you just go and direct all that righteous purpose at someone who's just trying to get through their fucking day, guilty only of the crime of being born in whatever place you've decided your hatred can be safely directed at.

You don't give a shit about anyone in the middle east. You just wanna feel like a righteous hero without any of the effort. Shut the fuck up and find something to do that will help others. And that includes helping the people around you, no matter how mad you think you have the right to be at them.

And remember, the problem at the core of every isn't skin color. It isn't creed, or race or gender or sexuality. It's that we're humans, and we are all capable of the same things we hate in others. Blessedly, that also means we're all capable of what we admire as well.

Your rage means nothing if it's only basis is hatred. Your kindness will mean everything.

Hot take but I really do think that some of y’all need to consider how/why/when/how often you’re making fun of straight people for being straight

I do it too, I’m not going to pretend I don’t make jokes about the hets, or the down with cis bus, or whatever

But I recently befriended a cis, straight dude and I have watched him be dismissed, degraded, and unambiguously insulted for the perceived “crime” of being straight — all in queer environments where he is allegedly “completely welcome” and surrounded by “friends”

This guy is not a toxic person! But I have seen him be made to feel so small and like his comfort and safety in those spaces are conditional on his silence and acceptance of being treated like a human dunk zone, and I think that some of y’all have had so much shit from straight/cis people that the second you feel like you’ve got an inch, you want to luxuriate in the perceived catharsis of bullying someone who— actually —doesn’t deserve it

And until he very, very carefully mentioned to me in private that it makes him feel bad, I didn’t even clock that I was involved in doing that, that it had become so instinctive for me to make casual jokes like that, and that— well meaning or otherwise —I had been contributing to an environment that made someone I really really like feel like shit

So, I dunno, I think maybe some of y’all should think about that too

I didn't want to mention it before they were loaded into the carriers. But today...

He had to lay down to eat dinner bc he doesn’t believe he can stand in his surgical suit. I put him on his feet and keep my hands on him and he’s fine. As soon as I move my hands he goes gumby and flops over
