"There's no thought crimes and no thought heroisms" is honestly such a good piece of life advice.

You could be having the most fucked up problematic thoughts 24/7 but if you treat people with kindness, the good you do is the only thing that matters. But if you have only the purest thoughts and all the correct beliefs, it doesn't matter one bit if you spend most of your time being an asshole to people.

Happy Pride Month to these two especially

My people in the homeland are dying and suffering from the heat. Mexico has always been hot but climate change is making it unbearable. The people of the global south are not the cause of climate change [not that we don’t have pollution or local pollution issues, but not to the degree of rich nations. I am specifically speaking of Mexico here] but they are made to pay the costs, the ultimate toll.

61 lives this month alone. This is not natural. What’s scary is today I saw an article questioning what are the limits of heat a human body can sustain. This is not normal!

What did these 61 humans do? What crime did they commit to be punished for the sin of global pollution. I promise you they must have been the most poor. Who couldn’t afford ac and maybe not even afford an electric fan.

The rich countries pollute and pollute while the global south suffers

The animals are dying, and it’s not good, but it just feels like insult to injury to see a bunch of results over the animals before as many about my dead countrymen.

Brown bodies died. The rich European countries do not care. India, too, is suffering from climate change.

You don’t even hear about the people dead in India unless you go out of your way to seek news about climate change.

The global south burns to death, the poor are the most affected for a crime and sin they had no part in. My heart aches for my Mexico, and all other global south nations disproportionally effected by climate change

"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.

"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

i think every physically disabled person should get 200 dollar whenever someone suggests exercising more btw

“Rich kids should go to public schools. The mayor should ride the subway to work. When wealthy people get sick, they should be sent to public hospitals. Business executives should have to stand in the same airport security lines as everyone else. The very fact that people want to buy their way out of all of these experiences points to the reason why they shouldn’t be able to. Private schools and private limos and private doctors and private security are all pressure release valves that eliminate the friction that would cause powerful people to call for all of these bad things to get better. The degree to which we allow the rich to insulate themselves from the unpleasant reality that others are forced to experience is directly related to how long that reality is allowed to stay unpleasant. When they are left with no other option, rich people will force improvement in public systems. Their public spirit will be infinitely less urgent when they are contemplating these things from afar than when they are sitting in a hot ER waiting room for six hours themselves.”

No thoughts head empty except for the confirmed soft and domestic academia au romance between Professor Widogast and the shy nerdy-looking new librarian at the Cobalt Soul, are the students gossiping about them ("Did Expositor Lionett introduce them??"), is it a normal occurrence for Caleb to ask Seth to cover for him like with Bells Hells ("Hallo Schatz, a thing came on, can't make it to 11 am Transmutation, would you mind terribly") (the thing is like. someone Greater Restorationed Isharnai), how many cats do they have

hay una realidad también y es que existe una definición de Latino que existe exclusivamente en el contexto racial de estados unidos y que no es algo que se vaya a modificar con discusiones en internet, asi que tampoco me puedo enojar porque una persona que nació en estados unidos que no habla español y nunca piso latam se identifique con un termino que le fue impuesto porque vive en un país en que existe la one drop rule y te preguntan de qué raza sos en documentos oficiales, porque esa persona tampoco eligió que se le imponga todo ese bagage. No espero que María from Texas lea un tuit de un argentino explicándole la identidad latinoamericana y diga "ah! ya entiendo! muchas gracias por la aclaración ahora no me voy a decir latina porque se que no es correcto :)" si al otro día sale a la calle en su pais y en su realidad material ella es Latina (categoría racial de los estados unidos) por más que no sea latina (persona nacida en América Latina). La cagada es que siempre que surge el tema es porque algún latiyanqui está diciendo la mayor pelotudez del universo y no dan ganas de defenderlos

I think one of the kindest things you can do for people with various mental health struggles is just... let people back into your life after they've been absent for a while.

Making friends as an adult is so fucking hard already and isolating yourself from other people is a very common symptom of depression, anxiety, burnout, ocd, trauma, grief, etc. Which means that someone will do the hard work of recovery/healing and resurface back into a world where their previous friends have written them off because they stopped showing up.

So if you know someone where you're like "yeah we could have been better friends but they fell off the map a bit" and that person suddenly reaches out, or starts showing up to events even though you kind of forgot they were still in the group chat... well they may have been Going Through It and you don't actually have to punish them for their absence you can just be glad that they're back.
