BIGGG MISTAKE.

Texas just voted to keep a man who ran while his state was literally freezing to death, blamed doors for school shootings, and promised to "remove the scourge of abortion."

I'm um... I need to go lie down...

"if you would like to see us directly address these scandals live..." actually i would not like to see that at all and i am not coming now

Watching this video made me bust into tears. To say I am scared is an understatement. I don’t think I have ever been so scared in my life and felt so unsafe in The United States of America…..

I can’t be the only one who feels like April fool’s day is ableist as shit, right? I’m entirely goddamn serious.

So many of us neurodivergent people already struggle with knowing what’s true and memory problems. So many of us are already confused almost 24/7. And now y’all wanna make life even harder to the point where none of us feel safe literally anywhere because at any moment we could be lied to and then made fun of for being lied to when we already struggle to comprehend things? No, no, this shit is downright disgusting.

The only fools on April fool’s day are the jerks trying to prey on people’s gulliblity.

note that not all pranks are the same- some are genuinely harmless. I’m talking about direct misinfo or cruelty towards the victims.

Anyway, if you're a fan of Bruce and Steph having a father/daughter relationship you should probably go read about Oliver and Mia.

Feeling unsafe is not the same as being unsafe and people are unable to distinguish between the two - you always have a right to be safe, but you do not necessarily have the right to always feel safe. This is an underlying theme in a lot of issues, like judging others' kinks, queerness, race, media analysis, and more; what the real heart of the problem is is unfamiliarity, things that people do not know and thus shrink away from in fear or disgust or discomfort. It can be a basic instinct to approach change and unfamiliarity with caution, but it needs to be an intentional act to challenge that fear/world view. It is something that we owe to the people around us, and that we owe to ourselves.

Curly's attempt to prioritize the crew's happiness over safety is very in line with the internal struggles he is going through with wondering if he is happy in his life and path or should he forfeit that security.

It's upsetting cause while as understandable as that projection is, the want to be happy in something you don't feel secure in, he can't see past it and allows it to clog his judgement. This is no longer a matter of happiness but safety, but he in the end was the safest member of the crew in practically every aspect. It's not something he's going to understand the weight of from his position.

His current state is also a reflection and inversion of his mindset at the beginning of the game as well as a metaphor for the exact type of endangerment Anya felt. Where as with Jimmy, he gets to feel that "safety" Curly felt with the position but the lack of happiness he perceived he had.
