when lizzo said “self love is survival” and when hannah gadsby said “do you understand what self-deprecation means when it comes from somebody who already exists in the margins? it’s not humility. it’s humiliation” and when mitski said “i used to rebel by destroying myself, but realized that’s awfully convenient to the world. for some of us our best revolt is self preservation”
i love concerts because no matter how shitty your life is at the moment, everything just seems to makes sense in those couple of hours and u feel so alive and happy and theres so much adrenaline and happiness and all ur problems just kinda fade away for a little bit
When my cat says “yes I will allow you to touch the softest parts of me, yes I will allow you to see me at my most vulnerable, yes I will call out to you when I wake in an empty room, yes I will seek you out when I need to feel safe and seen, yes I will stand guard so that you can sleep, I cannot tell you I love you but you know, I know that you know, I cannot tell you that I love you, so I will show it” I cry
respect you man but biden wants to add police funding and actively calls for the persecution and imprisonment of people who share leftist ideology. he is the reason our prison system is so horrible and he voted for a useless illegal war. not to mention he is a rapist. im not voting for him, and i dont think you should tell people how to vote.
Biden is not responsible for the school to prison pipeline. The person you’re looking for there is Reagan. Try to reference facts, instead of right wing talking points, when you’re making your argument, if you want to be taken seriously.
But I’ll concede that the crime bill Biden worked on was terrible, and I will also remind you that he’s spoken extensively about how he regrets the consequences of that bill, and he’s laid out a plan to end the school-to-prison pipeline.
Wow! That terrible Joe Biden! A bill from two decades ago has had terrible consequences, and he’s owned that, pledged to change it, and has made that change part of his platform.
What does Trump want to do? What has Trump done since he took control of the presidency?
You have this fantasy version of Biden where he’s somehow not a clearly different choice from Trump, who has ALREADY used federalized secret police to attack innocent people, expressing their constitutional rights.
I’m going to tell everyone how to vote, because I care deeply about my country and this planet.
The choice is: Biden, or four more years of Trump. If you’re going to have your little tantrum because Biden isn’t the unicorn you’re demanding, you’re implicitly supporting Trump.
I will never understand or respect anyone who says “Biden isn’t progressive enough for me, so I’m going to cast a vote that effectively supports Trump. Yeah, that’s going to teach the Democrats a lesson!”
That’s not how any of this works, and the sooner you can understand that, the better.
