So apparently ponds are only for cis women to use now, and absolutely no trans people. You gonna eradicate the frogs as well? Stumble across a pond in a woodland and think “nope I won’t go in there because I’m a trans person/cis man, no ponds for me”.
Why are ponds being gendered now like toilets. Next the swimming in the river Thames is only for men. That aside, the Pond Protest committee just once again looking ridiculous. “Don’t let trans people in our ponds”. You okay?
Next up the local pool will only be for 1 gender.

WYNONNA: “Out already? Didn't even have time to send flowers.”
BUNNY LOBLAW: “It was just a fancy faint.”
WYNONNA: “Yeah, the cat made a bed in your ass crack.”
BUNNY LOBLAW: “The doctor said I'm fine. I'm as healthy as an ox.”
WYNONNA: “With the cankles to match.”
BUNNY LOBLAW: “Listen. I am just here to tell Officer Haught that despite the day's events, she will not be getting my support.”
WYNONNA: “She saved your life, you incorrigible bitch.”
BUNNY LOBLAW: “Perhaps. But she does not belong here in Purgatory. She is not our... people.”
WYNONNA: “Are you a xenophobe or a homophobe?”
BUNNY LOBLAW: “Why pick just one?”
WYNONNA: “Even though it was against her best interest, Nicole did the right thing. She always does the right thing, no matter what. That's the kind of person who should be Sheriff.”
BUNNY LOBLAW: “I'll keep that in mind.”
WYNONNA: “No. Bunny... shouldn't we talk about what really happened today? What's really got your pearls all twisted?”
BUNNY LOBLAW: “I don't know what you're talking about.”
WYNONNA: “What you saw. Because you saw something, didn't you, Bun Bun?”
BUNNY LOBLAW: “It was just a dream, a terrible dream. Like the one where I'm on the cruise ship with all the shirtless... Portuguese sailors.”
WYNONNA: “Okay, there's a lot to unpack there. But no... you weren't dreaming. See, you think you want to know the things Nedley's been keeping secret. You don't. That monster you saw today, it's just... the tip of the iceberg.”
BUNNY LOBLAW: “Iceberg?”
WYNONNA: “If you don't back Nicole for Sheriff, I am sending that monster and all of his demon friends... to your house.”
BUNNY LOBLAW: “You can't and you won't.”
WYNONNA: “Oh, bless your cold, withered heart. You think you could handle another "fancy faint"? Then Nicole Haught's gonna be the next Sheriff. Okay? Have a lovely day.”
BUNNY LOBLAW: “I need to get to church.”
WYNONNA: “You gotta book yourself that cruise.
*she turns around to see Nicole stood at the doorway*
How long have you been listening?”
NICOLE: “It would've been rude to interrupt.”
WYNONNA: “Naughty Haughty.”
NICOLE: “How's your head? Because... I feel like I can hear space and time. Hair of the dog?”
*opens two bottles of alcohol, hands one to Wynonna*
WYNONNA: “Officer Haught. At work?”
NICOLE: “Well, some rules are made to be broken.”
WYNONNA: “Huh. Maybe you would be a good wife.”
NICOLE: “Ah, thank you. But you're not my type. You cheat at drinking games.
*they laugh and Nicole holds out her bottle*
Truce?”
WYNONNA: “More than a truce. A win.
*they clink bottles*
You know, I used to think you were an outsider too. And that things would get too demony and you would... go and leave my sister with a broken heart.”
NICOLE: “Wynonna, I love her.”
WYNONNA: “Ew.
*smiles*
Also, you better.”
NICOLE: “And I love you, too. I mean, I know it's terribly unfair and sometimes I really get... jealous, because you get to be...”
WYNONNA: “Get to be what?”
NICOLE: “You.”
WYNONNA: “You know, you're staked to this land, same as me. You never had a choice.”
NICOLE: “What do you mean?”
WYNONNA: “It wasn't Black Badge who saved you from the Cult of Bulshar massacre, Nicole. It was an idealistic local cop.”
*pulls out a photograph of a younger Sheriff Nedley with his arm around a young girl - Nicole as a child*
I’ve said it before. While I really do not like that they had to blackmail Bunny to back Nicole for Sheriff when Bunny shouldn’t even be a part of what they do because she’s a discriminative asshole, I understand that it’s in character for Wynonna to do that for someone she cares about and will defend. So the sentiment of the latter outweighs the former. She could have just let Bunny make the remarks she did and sent her on her way, letting her believe whatever she wanted. But no, she layed into her because she knew that Nicole deserves to be Sheriff next election. And the fact Nicole was stood there watching the whole exchange and never made a move to intervene shows how much she appreciates the support from Wynonna even if that support was a threat towards Bunny and could land them in even more trouble.
It matters. It’s not something I would think of to do myself, but it matters because it’s Wynonna and Wynonna always does the crazy thing for love. Nicole understands that and knows this is just Wynonna’s way of helping her. So she doesn’t stop her and instead just lets her potentially create more chaos.
They’ll cross that bridge when they come to it.
If it comes to it.
Then there’s the other part to this conversation where they sit and drink and relate to each other, and Wynonna reveals that while she is cursed to stay in Purgatory to fight Wyatt’s revenant demons, Nicole also had no real choice about who she would end up becoming in Purgatory either. Meaning it’s not just because she’s dating Waverly why she’s in the show. And I really love that they included that because it simultaneously gives Nicole purpose as her own character within her own individual arc and gives her representation and development beyond just being a love interest but also tells us that she always was - is - meant to be with Waverly and as part of the team because she has ties to the supernatural life too that she can’t just leave behind because she’s “abnormal”.
Combined with the former scene and conversation - this is the creator and cast/crew basically telling us that being “abnormal” or an “outsider” isn’t something we ever choose to be. It chooses us. The only thing we choose is to accept and embrace it…
Or not.
Maybe it’s just me reading into the narratives and themes a bit more than I should with this episode but I think it’s clever that the writers combined a narrative about being unlucky and having to work through the hardships of that with someone else we don’t always have common ground with and a narrative about acceptance and support from that someone when we’re being discriminated against for being too “different” to belong in a place we had no real choice to be part of the social community of in the first place.
We get the hand that we are dealt and we deal with it because that’s the only thing we really can do to survive somewhere non-inclusive. And if we happen to find people within that social community that are just as much of an “outsider” as we are even if they were born and bred in it then we are lucky and we are worthy and we do deserve to be treated with respect no matter how “not our people” we are perceived as.
And this is how I interpret this episode and these couple of scenes. It might not be the intention. I could be entirely wrong about what the writer intends it to represent. But I’ve never been one for canon anyway.
I’ve always made up my own lore and narrative when watching TV art/entertainment and I really miss show creators that accepted and encouraged this and gave you enough room to interpret any of it any which way you want and choose so that it could be so much more meaningful to you each time you engaged with it. I didn’t think TV shows like this existed anymore. But I’ve been pleasantly and gratefully surprised with ‘Wynonna Earp’ and other stuff I’ve recently watched.
I hope that streak continues when I watch Arcane. Shows that put the storytelling first have my heart even if I might be entirely wrong what story that is. It doesn’t really matter because I don’t deal in canon. I never have and I never will. That’s how I watch shows.
Art is and should be in the eye of the beholder always.

I made a litte aroace ally flag to show my support(sorry if this offends anyone in anyway that was not the intent and if anyone feels that way I will delete it)
There's not very many groups I'd really say I support really furries and aroace people(when I say support I mean people that I would spend the rest of my life defending).
The amount of aroace phobia(bot sure if there's a specific name) compared to homophobia is insane. I might be on ace-spec but I consider myself kind of like rosie. Me personally I want someone greatly to be happy with someone is like the one thing I want in life but that doesn't mean Other people should have to want that too.
I stand by you guys✊️(btw I know it's poorly made sorry bout that(

So naive of you to assume my darkness is less than your own, less of a mass, less of a presence, less of a threat.
I see your darkness. It bleeds onto your clothes, your skin, seeps into your blood. You spread it everywhere.
Sometimes people think they are fertilising weeds when they are poisoning a whole garden.
See, my darkness doesn't sit on my sleeve. I don't wear it on my clothes or let it ride on my skin. I don't flush it through my system.
My darkness sits in a locked box in my heart, guarded endlessly by the compassion I feel for you all. My darkness doesn't seep from my pores because I understand that if I let those toxins flow you all suffocate.
You look at me as though I am delicate, yet you do not know how big this box has become or how many demons it contains- you don't know how dark my darkness is.
You don't see the scars.. and honestly it is not because they aren't visible but because you do not want to see them- you prefer the fantasy of untouched beauty like everyone else.
So I face my darkness alone. I stare in contempt into the eyes of mine own demons and fight for my life. I make peace with memories pulled straight from jump-scare horror movies and r-rated thrillers.
The Devil can hate me but he must respect me for walking through his hell and turning back with my head up just to flip him the bird.
And I could hate him back but every demon he has sent to hurt my feelings, bruise my skin or break my heart now sits in a locked box with my darkness and as it's weight grows- so does my strength to carry it.
My darkness doesn't own me... I own it. I am the dungeon master, the keeper of monsters, the mother of dragons.
So please don't assume that my darkness is less than yours, that it lacks mass, that it is not a threat.... my darkness is only not a threat to you because I take that burden on alone.
In return, I will offer you the same respect.

“WELCOME,” 41 Union Street, Aberdeen, Scotland,
For his latest intervention, Pejac chose the entrance of a building specifically chosen because it hosts many charities as well as homes for vulnerable residents facing social exclusion.
The multitude of tiny figures that make up this doormat come together to stand for every aspect of the WELCOME concept, the meaning of which has been increasingly hard to find recently.
The message is one of dignity, understanding that those who have been pushed to the margins of society can recognize the importance of an open and heartfelt welcome more than anyone. It re frames the potential of those who have been discriminated against and in some sense stepped over by society, and presents them as united and proud.
“Tired of being stepped over”

THEN WHY, the hell are they suddenly old enough to understand and accept death? That going to school means there's a chance that a gunman might come, shoot up their class and they might die in fear and far away from their family, and that they just have do accept it because some adults can't give up some of their favorite toys for the safety of others.
Kids can understand, if you can't behave with it, or have it without hurting or scaring someone, they will lose the privilege of having it and that they have may be allowed to earn it back.
Kids also understand that they have to prove to someone that they are responsible, trustworthy, patient, safe, and will listen to all the instructions given to them to handle something dangerous or delicate.
Why can't adults?

DISCRIMINACIÓN
Tumblr media
La discriminación es una práctica cotidiana que consiste en hacer una distinción a una persona o grupo social.Si bien dentro del grupo de personas que por alguna de sus características físicas o su forma de vida son discriminados, están las personas con discapacidad.La discriminación hacia las personas con discapacidad se ha dado por falta de conocimiento de la sociedad sobre esta condición, esto ha impedido que puedan gozar de sus derechos (salud, trabajo, educación, vivienda, transporte y comunicaciones accesibles, justicia, cultura, turismo) y tener una vida plena.
Discriminación por razón de discapacidad.
Discriminación por razón de discapacidad
En todo el mundo, 1 de cada 10 personas vive con discapacidad. Sin embargo, en muchas sociedades, las personas con discapacidades tienen que enfrentarse al estigma, al ostracismo y a que las traten con pena o con miedo.El 80 por ciento de las personas con discapacidad viven en países en desarrollo. La inmensa mayoría de las personas con discapacidad —el 82 por ciento— viven por debajo del umbral de pobreza. Las mujeres con discapacidad son dos o tres veces más susceptibles de sufrir abusos físicos y sexuales que la mujeres sin discapacidad.En Kazajistán, en aplicación de la legislación vigente, miles de personas con discapacidades psicosociales e intelectuales han sido declaradas “incapaces” por ley y puestas bajo el cuidado de un tutor o tutora. En virtud de este sistema, estas personas no pueden ejercer sus derechos ni impugnar la decisión ante los tribunales.Amnistía Internacional también ha documentado graves abusos contra los derechos humanos de las personas con discapacidad en Somalia, donde estas personas corren peligro de sufrir matrimonio forzado, violación o desalojo forzoso.
Tumblr media
👉Vulnerabilidad en el ámbito laboral👈🔴Vulnerabilidad laboral🔴
Además de la marginación en términos de acceso al derecho del trabajo, también existen brechas (significativamente mayores) en cuanto a la protección laboral y el tipo de empleos en los que se ocupan.De cada 100 personas con alguna discapacidad auditiva o en el habla sólo 19 son trabajadores asalariados en el sector formal, para quienes presentan discapacidad motriz la cifra es 14 de cada 100. La discapacidad cognitiva o mental es la más castigada con 13 de cada 100 habitantes en esta situación.Las personas con discapacidad motriz presentan un riesgo de 11% mayor de no recibir vacaciones pagadas que quienes no tienen discapacidad. Para las personas con limitaciones visuales el riesgo de no recibir seguro médico es 13% mayor que el de la población sin discapacidad y quienes tienen discapacidad múltiple tienen hasta 25% más probabilidades de no contar con contrato escrito, vacaciones pagadas y seguro médico, de acuerdo con el informe del Conapred.
🔴Fomentacion de la inclusión 🔴
La discriminación es detonante de las desigualdades y las desigualdades limitan el desarrollo económico. La construcción de sociedades inclusivas en términos sociales aumenta la productividad y el dinamismo económico de los sectores más importantes. De acuerdo con el texto del Conapred, las políticas públicas que buscan combatir la discriminación no deben limitarse a garantizar los derechos de las personas, sino que deben extenderse hacia las decisiones y planes económicos y sociales, lo que será determinante para cerrar brechas y conseguir el bienestar general.
Tumblr media
https://youtu.be/cGI_AP2Wy90
Reforzando lo anterior, debemos comprender que la discriminación sólo aparece cuando se presentan ciertas conductas hacia una persona o grupo de personas que, debido a su condición, se les niega o prohíbe no sólo la participación plena y efectiva en la sociedad, sino también la práctica de sus derechos.

I'm sorry for harping on it but I do truly think the rise of "comship dni" is possibly the funniest and most indicative symbol of what modern fandom discourse has become because like. The only reason someone would know what "comship" means is because they're already deeply entrenched in shipping discourse and already identify as someone who disapproves of "problematic" content. So who is the target for this. Because people who aren't already firmly on the side of anti "problematic shipping" have no idea what this means so like who is this filtering out. There's just such a weird gap in perspective alignment here literally just like being a Roman Catholic and saying dni atheists/independent Catholics

ANDY: “You’re calling me a slut?”
PRUITT: “I am just asking you why you can’t stop crapping where you eat.”
ANDY: “You’re calling me a slut.”
PRUITT: “Every time you make the decision to sleep with a firefighter-“
ANDY: “-I didn’t sleep with him, and if I had,-“
PRUITT: “-in your own station-“
ANDY: “-it’s none of your business.”
PRUITT: “-…you set back female firefighters a few years!”
ANDY: “Dad, you need to stop talking now.”
PRUITT: “I don’t care how many men you sleep with, Andy.”
ANDY: “Stop talking.”
PRUITT: “But your CAPTAIN!”
ANDY: “I DIDN’T SLEEP WITH HIM, AND IF I HAD, IT’S STILL NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!”
PRUITT: “IT DAMN WELL IS MY BUSINESS! YOU ARE MY CHILD! Your decisions reflect on me, on MY legacy.”
ANDY:
*quietly but sternly*
“Get out.”
PRUITT: “Andrea, I am your father. You may not have any respect for rules, for tradition, for authority, but you will respect your father.”
ANDY:
*voice hoarse*
“Got it, Dad. Then I’ll get out.”
*leaves*
PRUITT: “Andrea.
*raises voice*
Andrea!”
*Maya opens the door to her room and stares him down with a look so threatening that it would frighten the Olympian gods. He leaves Andy alone*
MAYA: “Captain Herrera, it’s late.”
PRUITT: “Uh… sorry to wake you.”
I do not think I have the words to explain my thoughts and feelings about this scene. I expected Pruitt to be upset for Andy and to have it out with Sullivan on her behalf even if she didn’t need him to act and speak for her. I did not expect him to get at Andy for it AT ALL because I would have thought he’d know better. That he’d know it wouldn’t be his place to tell Andy where hers is because who she sleeps with isn’t his business.
I… wow. Clearly he hasn’t caught up with the times that’s all but made this kind of behaviour a criminal offence to women. That was unbelievably sexist and extremely disrespectful to Andy. His own daughter. He really did just call her a slut. Not only that but he also implied that she’s not capable of understanding her own actions and choices when it comes to the consequences of her losing her job as lieutenant and ruining the chances for any women that apply for that job. As if it has anything to do with who they sleep with why they are even in that job in the first place.
Just the sheer audacity for Pruitt’s mind to go there was absolutely fucking disgusting. He does NOT get to decide or even comment on where Andy, or any woman for that matter, opens their legs and to whom because they’re firefighters and he once captain’d them. Never mind about his fucking “legacy”. You just don’t do that because a women’s right to do whatever or/and whomever they want is no man’s fucking business no matter what they are in relation to them.
I mean I wasn’t the greatest fan of Pruitt before but this scene has ruined his character in my eyes now. I have absolutely no respect for him whatsoever from this point onwards because there’s no coming back from discrimination to women, to Andy, with me ever. I get that Andy may have to forgive him, but as a woman on behalf of all women, I won’t. And I’m very sure neither will Maya because she was also livid. And she should be because men do not get to have any say over what women do or don’t do no matter what the relationship they have to us is. With this one scene, Pruitt has made it quite clear how he thinks of women because there is no way he would have spoken to his daughter like that if that wasn’t already his mindset.
That was the mindset of a misogynist, not a father. He can play the father card all he likes and pretend that he is just trying to protect Andy as his daughter. Nah, no way that excuse is going to fly because if it was about being a father, his first instinct would to be to act and speak on his daughter’s behalf to Sullivan, not immediately verbally attack her for assuming that she’d slept with him. It doesn’t matter who it is he’s assumed she’d slept with. It’s not his place as a father to ever comment on it to her because Andy is a fully grown consenting adult woman. He isn’t commenting on it to her because she is his daughter. He is really commenting on it to her because she’s a female firefighter and believes she is still under his command.
You see, because the thing is, if Sullivan got in trouble for sleeping with Andy as her Captain, it wouldn’t negatively reflect on every man that makes it as a Captain, or a firefighter in general who also did. Just Sullivan. But what Pruitt is telling Andy and why he is commenting on it to her over Sullivan, is that every time she sleeps with a firefighter in her team, her Captain at that, she is ruining the chances for more women being firefighters and making it to Captain status. He is basically saying to Andy that because she can’t keep her legs shut in her own place of work, that she doesn’t deserve the respect as a firefighter AND that neither does any woman who chooses to do the same as her AND that if they continue to behave as they do, they do not deserve to make it as Captain.
It’s absolutely fucking HORRID what he said to Andy not just as his daughter, but also as a woman in the job of being a lieutenant firefighter. He has just told her that her choice to sleep with her Captain will reflect negatively on and weigh heavily against hers and any other woman’s chances of becoming Captain NOT because it’s against the rules for both her and Sullivan to have sexual relations, but because she must earn her keep as a female fightfighter (of all female fightfighters by leading as a good example) on the way to becoming Captain by keeping her legs shut.
How fucking discriminatory to women is that? It is the definition of misogyny in context of employment and promotion to state that sexual abstinence and/or purity in the workplace is the requirement for a woman to achieving the same employment and promotion that a man would have regardless of where he put his dick or of who he put it into. Yeah, Sullivan would get in trouble just as much as Andy would because of them having a sexual relationship with each other but it wouldn’t be because of his gender identity or sexuality why he would get in trouble for it. Whereas with Andy, it would be because women have to work so much harder for respect in employment predominantly and traditionally made for men to be as deserving of the same job and to have any chance of promotion compared to men at all. So for a man to come up to a woman and say that the requirement for being worthy of employment and promotion in a male-dominated department of work is to not have sex with anybody on and within the job… it is beyond the pale.
And for Pruitt to say to Andy, knowing how damn hard she’s worked all her life to be worthy of his validation, that her decision to have a sexual relationship with Sullivan or any firefighter reflects negatively on his legacy because he has no understanding of a woman’s right to sleep with whomever she wants to whenever and wherever she wants to, even when he is no longer her Captain or has any authority over her whatsoever as she is a fully grown consenting adult woman now… I don’t even have the words to explain how awful that is.
That was A SCENE. It was only a short scene but it provided incredibly significant and necessary female representation. The acting was STELLAR! I really felt Andy and Maya’s anger and shock at what Pruitt was saying to Andy. Fantastic performances all around! Especially Jaina. My god girl, that was phenomenal!

one thing that has stuck with me from the latest kerfuffle i got into on twitter is like. there was one person arguin w one the homies that my bio stating i was white isnt accurate because white people cant be people of colour or a poc so putting 'white' in my bio was the reason people wouldnt acknoweldge Im mixed. and like. that shit has stuck w me
cuz to me that seems fucked up towards mixed ppl like me who have that white background mixed with some non-white identity. but thinking about it i can ABSOLUTELY understand the idea of it due to the notion that white people cannot be poc. cuz that sentence in itself is SENSIBLE. like oh Obviously white people cannot be in the non-white community, so therefore mixed people 'cannot' identify as white????
but i keep thinking about it cuz. wow that shit really pointed out an issue that is so obviously present when it comes to recognizing and acknowledging mixed people like me. Because regardless of how much of a Person Of Colour i am or how much aboriginal background i got, i look very white. I have possibly more typically white experiences than typically aboriginal ones. I have blue eyes as when i was a kid I had naturally blonde hair and there was the joke that i was the whitest in my family because of it. which despite the joke is pretty damn true. people dont see me on the street and say oh thats an indigenous person, and the extremely rare times someone sees me as non-white its usually another indigenous person yknow.
I think its like. its kinda led to this revelation of mine i suppose. On one hand i've come to terms with the idea that i am Aboriginal AND white in the sense that i cant just pick either or as both aspects of me have influenced my entire existence as a mixed person. but its really hit home on why i've struggled so much with seeing myself as being in the non-white community or recognizing myself as a person of colour. because the only 'requirement' of being a poc is Not being white. but does that instantly eliminate all mixed white and non-white people like me from being anything other than white? does that not just further the notion that mixed ppl have to just 'pick a side'? Wouldnt decrying my white identity to be a poc then just diminish my own experiences with white privilege and passing as white?
#ask to tag#idk i think its like. when it comes to racial groups and racialized peoples it tends to seem more#black and white (lmao)#in the sense that ethnicity and race isnt something changeable therefore it is treated as more concrete aspects of identity#rather than the fluidity of gender or sexuality when it comes to identity#but in actuality. its really not so easy with race either#like the lines between races and even between that of being white and being non-white isnt so clear#like ive spent years feeling guilt for my identity. as a kid i tried to get rid of my indigenous identity#and somewhat more recently i felt guilty for being white#and its only recently ive resolved that i can be both#but i hadnt explicitly thought about how much of an outlier that makes me#but honestly with mixed white poc i feel its worse to try and limit or get rid of the white aspects of us#like we cannot ignore how it has benefited us or how our general ease as being seen as white has made our lives easier#like i always think of a friend i had in highschool who was also native#but she had the more traditional features of darker skin and black or dark hair unlike me#and we bonded a lot over our aboriginal identity#but the fact she experienced more blatant descrimination than me was a constant factor in our relationship#like it is not something us white poc should not ignore! our expiriences with both privilege and descrimination is unique and unavoidable#i feel the idea of you cannot be white and a poc really tries to bury the privilege of that though. and thus the varied experiences#idk man i been thinkin bout it a lot#like maybe the inclusion of white people who are mixed should be noted in non-white circles more. because of this weird#inbetween we have

Look ok. I am not American. I am Australian. I have seen the fucking trickle down effect of letting someone genuinely unhinged with absolutely no political experience and a hard right radical mindset globally. It's infectious roots reaching out and poisoning everything to the point it has affected me personally.
I know you hate Biden. I know your political system is fucked. But I am on my hands and knees, begging you, as my will to live trembles in a world where I genuinely feel like I fell into the wrong timeline the second Trump got in because 'surely people aren't that stupid?' - we are literally watching you all from the outside baffled.
You're the western world power whether you like it or not. You are the goddamn orchestra conductor and you set the tune for the entire Western world and you have a responsibility to.
FUCKING.
VOTE.
You do realise this is basically a vote between Mr. Burns and THE LITERAL FUCKING DEVIL right?
I don't care if you don't agree with Biden - because you know whose gonna vote if you don't vote 'in protest'? Republicans. He will 120% get in again because you decided to sit on your ass and do nothing to stop it.
Your disillusionment with the system is just spurring your own inaction. Yelling does nothing. VOTING DOES SOMETHING.
Like I genuinely fucking wonder if this disillusionment to the point y'all are just giving up, lying down flat on your back and letting the rabid dogs feast on your still living, breathing corpse - has been purposefully seeded and promoted by your right wing factions because as long as you don't vote? They win.
You aren't protesting. You're lying down to become their feast. You want action? You vote. You vote for the people who will most likely listen. They don't listen? GET INTO POLITICS. BE THE FUCKING CHANGE, NOT A ROADBLOCK IN YOUR OWN FUTURE.
Dear god please. I want to feel like humanity is worth living for. I am hanging on by a thread here.
Fucking vote.
