I need you to understand that online activism only reaches people who are also online.
And it only reaches people who, in our current algorithm-based internet, are actually shown that content.
When you do online activism that’s not something concrete like a petition, you’re spreading information and awareness. That’s super important.
But it’s also like, step one of twelve, and unfortunately it’s where most of us just stop. We share information and news and share guilt tripping posts and we say things should be different and we tell other people that things are terrible and we carry on and most of it makes no real-world difference at all.
I don’t know how to tell you that you have got to do local, real life activism if you want to make any change.
You have got to pay attention to your school boards and judges.
You have got to campaign for local candidates.
You have to encourage locals to run for office, or run for office yourself.
You have to volunteer your time and energy for real local causes and groups.
You have to get acquainted with your local news sources so you know who to reach out to when word needs to be spread about something important.
You have to call and contact and petition your local officials, you need to put up flyers where your actual community will see, you need to get aquatinted with local resources so you know where to direct people who need them.
You have to actually do activism irl. That is how you make change happen.
Any time you spend arguing with online users about activism and not doing enough could be spent actually making a difference in your literal real life community, or helping the people who do.
naruto as a whole is a fucking mess and i say thisas somebody whos read the entireseries 3 times over. “naruto is going to change the system! haha teehee never mind hes not doing anytning about the child soldiers and slave castes and the genocides.” “sasuke can be upset at his brother for committing a genocide but actually genocide against an oppressed bloodline is good if theyre getting uppity and its sanctioned by the government and also have a genetic predisposition to be evil so he should just get over it and be okay with it” “sakura needs to stop obsessing over a guy whos not even interested and become strong for her own sake. actually shes a housewife now”
kishimoto im going to blow you up with my mind
YOU GET IT
For real though I think what they did with Sasuke's arc was one of the most baffling fucking things I've ever seen. "Actually. Your brother who carried out a genocide loved you :( he only put you in the Torment Nexus for several days because uhhh he wanted you to hate him and not find out about the government who ordered it. Everything he ever did was actually to protect you. And Uchihas are actually kinda rotten anyway so it's good an entire GROUP OF PEOPLE died. Don't think about any babies or children who were also slaughtered btw uhh nope all of them were bad."
Sasuke: "Yes I understand. I will now rule the world through fear. Actually nvm Naruto won our fight so, my philosophy is gone now."
Thank goodness that Evil Sasuke killed the three Bad Government Officials before that point, though. We had this whole theme going about toxic structures, cycles of abuse, and how oppressive regimes can propagate themselves even when a leader is well-meaning... but, like, Naruto REALLY wants to be Hokage, so actually if you just kill these Three Bad Governors it's gonna be fine.
There is no need for systemic change. Slave castes and child soldiers are fine. It's ok as long as the president is blonde :)
friendly reminder that there is a canonical "su she vs like nearly the entire jianghu including wangxian" and the nearly the entire jianghu including wangxian side was the one that needed a deus ex machina to pull out a tie.
and his losses to lwj and fc!nmj only came after all that power was exhausted doing all that and teleporting and yet even then his last loss to fc!nmj is basically because he has *too much* spiritual energy.
I don't really draw, and yeah I had a childhood. it was pretty average as far as US state childhoods go, get founded and settled and hit with the industrial revolution and whatnot.

When Australians have either never been to Canberra or went once for grade 6 (yes, I know, the questacon slide, it was the best) and say it sucks 😔🥺
Why are you letting obnoxious Melbournians 😤 (who think nowhere is as good as Melbourne, not even European cities) or paracalifornian Sydneysiders 😮💨 (who wear thongs with jeans and think everyone can and should commute 3+ hours a day) tell you how to feel?? If you're afraid of roundabouts or change that's a personal skill issue queen.
Okay okay so I haven't been able to commit to any roll for kids for Marinella's gen. So I am leaving it in y'all's hands. PICK WHAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO SEE OR THINK ABOUT WHAT SUITS MARINELLA. DONT JUST GIVE ME 5.
