THE ENTIRE WEST IS BEING PUT UP FOR SALE AND I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL YOUR SENATORS

Trump’s budget bill has many, many things in it, but buried amongst it is the MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND FOR SALE.

This is the entirety of the Arizona state forests, the entire Cascades mountain range. Swathes of pristine desert around the national parks in Utah. On the doorstep of Jackson Hole.

THIS BILL IS BIG, BUT IT CAN BE AMENDED AND ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT PASS AS IS please.

If you have ever enjoyed the wilderness, we stand to lose it all forever.

CALLING your senators - NOT JUST IN THE WEST. ALL SENATORS, is CRUCIAL.

Outdoor alliance has a great resource for reaching out.

I don’t have a huge following but please, everywhere I have ever loved, the forests I grew up playing in, the land I got married on, is all at risk and I am begging.

does anyone have that quote that goes something like 'white germans under the nazis lived just fine as long as they were loyal to the state, gave their children to the army, and paid their taxes, and in this sense many americans would be comfortable living under fascism' trying to find who said it but google is giving me jack shit

Some women are conditioned to be fragile and weak, and to believe that it's a sin to outperform a man. Her feminism would involve allowing women to be strong.

Some women are expected to be strong at times when they can't. Her feminism would involve reassuring her that it's okay to not be strong.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're too stupid to ever amount to anything. Their disability activism would involve reassuring them that they're capable.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're smart and gifted, and are expected to live up to impossible standards. Their disability activism would involve allowing them to fail, make mistakes, be stupid, etc.

Some children are constantly reminded "you're the child, I'm the adult" in order to deny their autonomy. Their youth rights activism would involve treating them like an adult at times when they feel ready for it.

Some children are treated like adults in order to justify increased expectations or to downplay abuse against them. Their youth rights activism would involve allowing them to be a child.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to oppression. Each individual person's experience is different. Whatever trauma is caused by their oppression, the activism should focus on undoing it.

rewatching the under the red hood movie and i gotta say as much as i love jason’s speech to bruce about how mad he is that the joker’s still alive, i still maintain that a severely underrated speech in this movie is from ra’s when he’s talking to bruce and in essence says ‘yeah so i hired the joker to distract you which was my bad because he totally went overboard and killed your son :/ and i felt so guilty i decided not to try and fight you anymore and then i stole your son’s corpse and tried to revive him via lazarus pit so i could like. make amends. except that was also my bad because we fucked that one up real good and when he came back out BOY was he weird in the head. killed my guys and then fucking jumped out a window and we lost him. my bad. and i thought he’d died again but apparently he’s in gotham and is like. totally destroying your whole lives which again, my bad. shouldn’t have tried to help. sorry about that. i’ll just stay out of your business from now on.’ which is actually the funniest characterisation of ra’s i’ve ever seen

i saw the words “ur not the first person in your lineage to be queer” and it’s rocking me to my core. how many generations down the line did one of my ancestors feel the way i did, feel differently than i did and so damn queerly it was a crime? how many of us were there? did they have hope? did they find peace? i don’t know. at the very least, maybe i am proof their identity was never wasted. reincarnated.

It's impressive how Neil Gaiman vanished from the internet. Wish Rowling would do the same.

i use up all the ink in a pen before using a new one. i've got notes on the wall above my desk that say things like "Shame says, 'I am bad.' Guilt says, 'I did something bad.'" and "Email Dr. Latchaw" and "Fall schedule: History of Alabama, Genres in creative writing, Intro to literary studies, Advanced comp, Senior seminar."

and on my desk currently there's a cup full of used pens and my makeup bag and a small square mirror with a golden frame propped up by everything i need i get from you and percy jackson and the lightning thief and the starless sea. and i've got pictures of my friend scott from when he graduated from uni and me and my friends emily and carleigh wearing our college band uniforms pretending to be admiring art.

there's a computer stand and my laptop and an empty cosmic vibe celsius can and an empty bottle of diet coke and an almost empty box of bandages and two empty squeezey applesauce pouches and a box of extra toasty cheez its and a bottle of ibuprofen and bottle of magnesium glycinate and a bottle of migraine relief and another bottle of ibuprofen but smaller so i can take it with me when i leave the house and a black moleskine cahier notebook full of lines and dialogue bits i randomly think of and a rock from lawrence, kansas painted pink that says "Be Kind."

there's a white and blue pouch from the strand bookstore in new york that's full of pens and highlighters and other bits a bobs and my ipad and on top it there's a tissue with that blood on it that i really need to throw away and a loose sheet of paper that says "when I got that ticket from the game warden perhaps for the first time ever I called him first to ask for help." and then two lines down it says "that one time he was supposed to pick me up from the school after an away game, and when I called to ask where he was he was drunk and I was forgotten."

i want everyone to remember that there was a time when people were begging me to get into 911. look at what you’ve done.

"i don't comment on ao3 because i don't wanna be annoying or weird" skill issue + you greatly underestimate the power dynamic here, writing multi paragraph comments is like feeding a bunch of deeply insane and possibly starved ducks at the park and watch them go completely mad over having received a piece of bread

You have my full permission to be weird and inappropriate at me
