‘capitalism works’ factoid actually untrue. the 62 people who own half the world’s wealth are outliers and should be eaten.

Sorry about the rant I'm just SO sick of this "we have to be on all the time never look away if you aren't upset about politics and traumatizing yourself watching people die on Twitter you're wrong and complicit and evil" like I know things are fucked and we need to stay angry but we can do that while also taking a minute to crack open a cold one with the boys or have gay sex or get tipsy at the line dance, we HAVE to have joy to remember why the fuck we're refusing to give up in the first place. Fight like hell for your loved ones and then also go home with them to smoke weed and drink sweet tea and make biscuits covered in honey and butter please, please don't deprive yourself of joy, you're allowed to be happy BEFORE the work is done. You're allowed to be happy.

You know how a bunch of us put Halloween decorations up in August and Christmas goes out in stores halfway through October? We're allowed to do similar things with Pagan holidays too.

I used to feel like I had to do my celebrations on the exact date of a Pagan holiday and if I couldn't do something that day, then I didn't get to celebrate it. In retrospect, that's not very helpful. Do I believe that some moments in time have magical significance? Yes. Do I think being unavailable at that moment means I shouldn't celebrate at all? No.

Most of us don't get time off work for our religious holidays and have to squeeze the celebrations in amongst the rest of our lives. This means that seeing the holidays as more of a season than a single day can be really freeing. You won't get in trouble for honoring the sun three days after the Solstice. It's totally okay to give an offering to your ancestors half a week before Samhain. Don't let wanting a perfect practice stop you from having a good one.

Remember "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" ? I feel like there's been a distancing from the "reduce" and "reuse" part and a favoritism towards "recycle" by corporate American.

Capitalism can still thrive with recycling in the mix. You buy Plastic Thing 1, throw it away after one use, and they take that and recycle it into Plastic Thing 2 and sell it back to you. All while continuing to harm the environment.

Reusing puts a damper on things. They can't sell you Plastic Thing 2 when you're still using Plastic Thing 1. Plastic forks, for example- there is literally no reason why you can't reuse plastic forks more than once (aside from maybe microplastics, but it's too late for that)

Reducing is the one everyone wants to ignore. Just don't buy Plastic Thing 1. You don't need Plastic Thing 1. Pick up a set of metal forks and use those for years. Convenience is killing the planet

I love HRT. I love being hairy. I love that when I get nervous, I can just pet my legs like a cat.

HEY GUYS

Who wants to help ruin Trump's birthday?

Yup you heard that right. On June 14, Trump is planning on having a pretty big military parade to be all like "I'm such a powerful king" and in response there's going to be HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of protests against his regime telling him to sit his ass back down.

The link below has more information and a map of currently planned protests. There's options in every single state. Even if you can't go, share this information, and consider reaching out to organizers of local protests to see if they need any logistical help. Chances are, they'll appreciate it.

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

my Controversial Take of the day is that those "[movie] explained" videos are like. fine. its literally fine to come away from a movie or whatever unsure of your takeaway and going online to get someone elses perspective, as long as youre not letting that person do all your thinking for you.

movies arent puzzles to be solved, yes, but wanting to get someone elses thoughts and seek out greater context is the most normal thing in the world and a random youtuber pointing out themes they think the audience mightve missed isnt like ruining the magic of cinema or whatever. and imo its far favorable to what some of yall are doing which is shrugging and saying "i didnt get it so it must be bad" or "something about it made me uncomfortable so i refuse to engage with it further".

they’re doing “is shaving feminist” discourse on twitter right now and we all know my thoughts on it. no need to do this again. but i will say. if our most “progressive/leftist feminist” women cannot wrap their heads around the concept of shaving being a tool of the patriarchy aimed to control women’s bodies that we should be ultimately working to discard. then maybe we should all just line up and sh**t ourselves. maybe there’s no hope for women after all.
