For people in the US, Jewish Voice for Peace has created an easy way to contact your representatives to push them to support Cori Bush’s Ceasefire Now resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire, de-escalation of violence, and urgent humanitarian aid. You put your info in, receive an automated call with a script, and when you’re ready it connects you to your congress member. It takes max 3 minutes.

like genuinely social media made me such an unhappy person and for like five years i was constantly anxious about someone reacting poorly to stupid opinions i had when i was 17 or someone telling me off for something i phrased poorly or posted thoughtlessly or bummed out by fucked up discourse and news or unconsciously buying into unnecessary callousness and meanness or caring way too much about shit that just does not matter an i have not felt as good as i have in the time i haven't obsessively scrolled through this site twenty times a day since i was a small child. this is your sign to disconnect from shit that makes you miserable blah blah blah

It's funny how legitimately the only thing that ever separated the Westboro Baptist Church from perfectly acceptable evangelical hate cults and led them to being pariahs was the fact that they hated soldiers and the United States too lmao. If they had been willing to wave the flag and Support The Troops they'd be annual RNC invites.

do you ever want to just shield your favorite characters from certain people because they just don’t get them and therefore shouldn’t even be allowed to look at them let alone talk about them

there’s obviously a lot of nuance to to this conversation, but I feel like the way that people nowadays talk about friendships is so cold and devoid of love or empathy. like you aren’t allowed to complain or be sad, ur burdening ur friends with ur problems, helping someone through a hard time is ‘emotional labour’ and ‘you don’t owe anyone anything’ and I’m just thinking what does friendship even mean to you then? like honestly? people say ‘I’m not your therapist’ as if therapy is the answer to everything. what a sad world where a paid clinician is the only person you’re allowed to be emotionally vulnerable with. this ultra individualistic mindset leads to everyone feeling alone and isolated and we’ve lost all concept of community and support systems

the real “problem with political correctness” is not that it’s considered offensive to use slurs, but that there are now many “progressive” environments where saying the right things is more important than doing the right thing. it’s why it’s so easy for abusers to gain traction in leftist circles (they learn the right words quickly and employ them to frame their own behavior as progressive); it’s why so much potential activist energy gets poured into fighting about language; it’s why moderate liberals didn’t believe fer/guson had a problem until the police emails with actual racist language were leaked. (you can do racist things, you just can’t SAY racist things.) i don’t have a neat conclusion here but a related point is that i’m so much happier since i started focusing on like, being a good kind caring person instead of trying to remove the word “crazy” from the vocabulary of everyone in my family
