thinking about how lavinia claimed lettice had the same conversation about the same dress thrice and wondering who the fuck she talked about it to. if it’d been the rest of the five, the other tailers would have mentioned it — and i doubt the teachers would stop to ask. so — who? does lettice, unlike the other members of the five, have… friends??

I need to develop a crush on someone but not the normal kind of crush like the kind that makes everything turn into survival horror and a life or death situation and you have constant adrenaline hits at all times I haven’t experienced this in so long but every time I have it scared me into fixing my life ykwim

The ableist ass job requirements for the average office jobs are like “you have to be able to lift 15+ pounds and be able to stand, sit for extended periods of time, kneel, hear, reach, speak and see” and the requirements for the presidency are like “can you form a sentence and speak 5 coherent words consecutively? no? how about 4? 4 is okay.”

I neglected my campaign when I started publishing the initiative I am working on, but the need is urgent and I need some hopes to buy the necessary necessities of life at their fantastic prices. If I do not get your financing, I could not be able to buy it, so I hope you understand that I am doing humanitarian research work, which is the management of an entire initiative that benefits more than 30 students and students, which is the ihyaa initiative, and I was doing a great job in the previous period, which is to document the campaigns on the ground to get safe donations, despite all that, I did not get the attention required from you, but I ask you to pay attention to the mother.

I don't like to sympathize with you with the pictures and problems I'm going through because I like privacy, but if you want to see how much pressure and the problems I'm going through in this damn war, we can reach, and I have pictures, medical and everything about suffering here.

I'm all for talking shit about the states, but the US exists BECAUSE of european colonialism. In fact most of the world has been colonized by europe.

You're not better because your colonial nation has fancy cheese and health care

While the USSR definitely struggled with a whole range of social issues throughout its existence, the conscious attempts to break the oppressive systems of Capitalism put it far in advance of anywhere in the Imperial Core and it's crazy how many Left Libs try to use contemporary culture war rhetoric to frame the Soviets as especially "problematic". Like the USSR never completely resolved the Russian empire's legacy of conquest and colonialism, and various forms of racism and ethnic chauvinism persisted right to the end, but a conscious effort was made to give dignity and self-determination to the various oppressed nationalities and it shows.

This manifested in countless small ways; from dying languages given new life by cultural initiatives and the free circulation of media to the millions of once marginalised peasants and nomads being given access to the education and industry needed to participate in the modern world as equals. But it also manifested in big dramatic symbols that could almost be written off as tokenistic if it weren't for the broader context of clear genuine effort. Like a lot of people forget that Stalin was a Georgian; a people brutalised by Russian Imperial expansion. And yet this member of a conquered and oppressed minority not only rose to the highest position in the nation, but did so as a widely beloved figure whose legacy lives on to this day. And this happened decades before the US even had its first Catholic President.

Like Proletarian rule won't automatically end all systems of oppression but it's the bare minimum prerequisite to doing so in a meaningful way; even flawed and ultimately failed Socialist experiments were able to attack these systems in a way that puts the most powerful and "progressive" Capitalist nations to shame

never stops being existentially horrifying to realize that someone you're talking to thinks that there is any kind of biological basis for "race" like the amount of people who are like 'racism is bad, of course race is a real scientific thing it's just bad to treat people differently because of it' and it's like no there is no biological or scientific basis for race it's purely a social concept. a dark skinned black person and a very pale white person can share more dna than two black people or two white people like it's all made up you can't tell someone's genetic or biological makeup just by looking at them. it's all socially constructed and there are massive consequences for this construction but anyone who tries to say that there is any kind of scientific basis for race whether they're knowingly purposely racist or trying to be "progressive" is wrong and realizing that someone you're talking to in a completely benign situation dead seriously thinks that such a thing as a "white race" actually scientifically exists is so terrifying

obviously everything happening in the us is horrific but (like everything in trump's traveling carnival of government) it's mostly exceptional in now slapdash and clownish the cruelty is. let us please not forget that the EU has been paying foreign governments to torture and murder asylum seekers for years -- and australia's been doing the 'sending refugees to unaccountable offshore camps' thing for more than two decades. & like i say this not to detract from the justified fury and outrage for the situation in the usa but to urge everyone to analyse it not as some bizarre abberation but as something that fits alongside a long list of policies long pursued by the usa and other imperial core nations

"violence is never justified under any circumstances" types when you tell them that they have already implicitly accepted that violence is sometimes justified by expressing ambivalence if not outright allegiance to capitalist politicians and systems of governance. you have already accepted that violence, under certain circumstances, is at least tolerable if not entirely reasonable and necessary, and you assert that all the time. you have already decided what sort of violence is okay to you
