#- of real change for our community.

In real life, the traddest men I know: change diapers; do chores; are present and playful with their kids; take good care of their wives; work 50+ hours a week to provide for their families; literally never think about the 1950s.

we talk a lot about the symbolism of the repetitive traumas the other characters have gone through, eg. chim being impaled/having his heart stopped, buck needing to save/be saved by loved ones, eddie effectively being cornered/trapped in confined spaces (sometimes by a helicopter, sometimes by being shot at).

but we should definitely further discuss how bobby repeatedly falls victim to structural oversight/damages. eg. how his family died, the owners of the rehab center committing arson and blaming him for it, the snipper who targeted firefighters because of how he interpreted his treatment by the lafd (and committed arson to lure them out), being trapped in the rubble at the call center, and now presumably being seriously hurt in this literal structural collapse. like tell us more about how this public servant in a leadership position is repeatedly falling victim to what is basically systemic shortcomings in the community. like please. i'd very much like to know more about that.

to me it's so sad that climate change/environment continues to be like, bottom of the list of voter priority issues. despite the fact that, you know, it will determine the livability of the entire planet and one of these candidates wants to make it much, much worse

I occasionally wish to reach out to old friends/acquaintances I haven't spoken to since high school/some other even earlier time in my life, but I have SOOO little social energy even for required tasks (like making dr phone calls or etc), I never have any leftover for extra ones, and it would be very odd to message someone I haven't spoken to in like 5 years out of the blue but then take 4 entire months to respond back lol.. My natural curiosity with nostalgia/collecting details of the past/etc. (literally if I were born a little earlier I would definitely do scrapbooking or something lol) is very strong, but, alas, not strong enough to beat out the Social Issues Demons apparently

hi do you guys want another rant. the fact that if you block just 3 different ship names the wlw tag on here is almost entirely barren is exhausting. surprise, lesbians exist outside of the same 3 white woman x white woman ships tumblr thinks is somehow enough representation that a majority of "supporters" don't feel they have to do anything more to genuinely support sapphics, more specifically lesbians. that and im tired of when I want to find cute ideas or just be around other lesbians, I have to dig for genuinely 30 minutes+ just to find something other than those aforementioned ships or just gifs of porn made obv for male enjoyment.

i wish i could remove the word “adopt” from kept peoples’ vernacular lol

[eclaire-went-bam]

ppl, especially low/no-empathy ppl, who talk to ableist anti-pd cluster b abuse believers with the upmost patience & understanding are so crazy (/pos) for that because what

how do y'all sit there and level w/ them just. so much.

i know it's kind of necessary bcs even if they don't listen to us anyways, they're only gonna think we're 10× worse if we don't walk them through the spiel w/ hands held (which we're not even owed to do anyways) but like i can hardly see myself doing it

so like

respect

pisses me off so much much that i’m not immune to people arguing about steven universe

[pshiftcultureis]

p- shifting culture is most of your life desperately wanting people to believe you, and going out of our way to be nice to them just so maybe they will take me seriously, and then realizing that i don’t need the validation from others.

we are valid

we are real

we are not “crazy”

and i love to be me

don’t fall into the doom mindset of “trump’s going to win, i might as well not even vote” even people who aren’t fans of kamala either are voting for her because they know what this choice means

A rock was thrown through the window of our local trans resources office.

My trans and Disability Group was attacked by a dozen troll accounts last week talking about how trans people are into beastiality and child porn.

Troubleshooting, a coworker told me "if these are the worst things that happen this year we'll be getting off lucky"

I know he's right. And the fact that that's true terrifies me.

whenever I see talk/discourse of how heavy brutal angst of kid's shows is the absolute peak of fan work, the deepest, most honest, look into the harsh realities of this show for babies... I always, somehow, end up thinking about that Smurf torture nursery guy on that one Smurf fan forum, who was genuinely just trying to write heartbreaking hurt/comfort about abused baby smurfs, and it was pretty well received on the site. But then outsiders found out about it, and now there's a ton of youtube videos talking about this guy like he's the world's Most Deranged murder sicko who's definitely too weird in the head to live a normal human life.

are we all just the Smurf abuse guy to someone else?

'What if we practiced inclusion in our movements rather than exclusion?' This person also has a post where they rant in their car about how 'Xios' need to be 'Ctrl+alt+deleted'.

[phagodyke]

ykw actually I am angry + disappointed w them. I've been pushing how I feel aside and trying to make it my own fault so it's all contained but I think theyve just been mean. and they really should know me better ik I try to pretend I don't expect more from them so I feel less hurt when they do things that upset me but we've been friends for years by this point. like come on.

I think the main difference I notice between the average USAmerica leftist and Brazilian leftist can be attributed to the fact that Brazil had a dictatorship, that was fought with tooth and nails to get rid of, and past that we got universal healthcare and voting rights again. I wish I could say all of Latin America is like this since so many of us had dictatorships but I don't know that many people from other countries (if you're latino please tell me), i think the average brazilian leftist understands there's no worth on peacefully resisting and if you want something, you need to fight or you'll be take and killed, or silenced, or "suicided". I note in a lot of (mainly white) USAmerican leftists that they wait for the change to be made for them instead of going like "wait, I can be a catalyst for changes" even if they're small.
