life is so weird it’s like i’ve just attended a funeral and am dealing with the complex process of grief and also the strange existential acknowledgment of my own eventual death but i also have to like… answer emails.. and do my laundry

The Covid lockdown proved that nearly all office work can be done remotely, so now being made to be physically present is like “… really? We’re back to pretending this is necessary?” And it’s a lot harder to stomach.

If you’re afraid of reading anything written by anyone with conflicting views to you because you think consuming media of “the enemy” will lead to thoughtcrime, you should perhaps do some deep thinking on the religious trauma you still need to deconstruct, and examine why you have replaced religious dogmatism with an ideological dogmatism your belief in is somehow so fragile that simply reading the wrong thing could shatter it.
It is important to read things, even doctrine heavy manifestos, by those ideologically opposed to you. It is important to understand their viewpoint and the people that wrote them.
Understanding is NOT agreeing with. Reading is NOT agreeing with. If you do not understand, do you even know what you are opposing? If you do not understand what you oppose, do you even know what YOU believe?
The less you understand those you are against, the less you understand about their beliefs, the shakier your own arguments, the more susceptible you are to propaganda, and moreover, the more likely you are to Other them. Normal human beings are capable of absolutely terrible things. YOU are no less capable of absolutely terrible things because you think the Right Thoughts ™️
Your enemy is still human.
Your enemy is still human.
Your enemy is still human.
Do not cling to political ideology as though it is a new religious doctrine with its own forms of “Sin”.
Important and Good are not synonyms. Many important things are terrible.
They are still important.

I shouldn’t have to go to work every day I should get lots and lots of time to chill and rock in my rocking chair and read good books and ride my bike around town early in the quiet morning and pick sunflowers and bake honey and oat cookies and crochet giant fish for my friends and actually have time to paint and draw like I used to before I grew up and had to work all the goddam time just to have enough money to pay my bills .

You know why I saw that cry face of Raphael’s an I’m an apologist. If my Dad made me to literally be a lesser lifeform made to serve another for thousands of years after he just jumps ship after making all those little bitches, no employment benefits, no vacation days in a billion million years, I too would decide maybe we should just kill those guys and just be happy. Out of all the characters that try and end the world Raphael’s is frankly the most real and down to earth.

Nothing should be the way that it was even 5 years ago, and definitely not the way that it was 10 years ago. Everything around us is different. We are different. And everybody needs to come to grips with that and it needs to happen quickly, because the only way to live with the way we’ve changed is to change the way we live.

Whenever I see non-Americans getting upset at America it’s mostly about stupid things that are literally not important & don’t affect them at all! Like yes we’re a shit country but of all things y’all get upset over, folks wearing sweatpants to Target, having ZIP Codes, or not giving a flying fuck about memorizing each city in Europe like…..THOUSANDS of Americans are struggling to afford medicine, pay rent & bills next month, Black & Brown mens lives are one cops ego away from being taken, and parents are praying to GOD their kids don’t die in school today by unhinged white man #1456! NOT a single one of us is thinking about this benign shit your pretentious ass somehow believes is a societal failure of America, much less you, but whatever you need to ease that internal issue you’re clearly avoiding therapy for.
