I Say This To ALL People Who Benefit From White Privilege Who Care About Truth, Justice And Mercy:

I say this to ALL people who benefit from white privilege who care about truth, justice and mercy:

When people say “If you support trump/certain topic, then delete me now,” I kind of get confused. Those are the people, the people who think differently than you, who need to hear what you have to say. You have to have conversation with them. Of course some people’s hearts are hard and won’t listen, and it’s not worth having aggressive debates, human beings often can’t hear over the sound of their pride and fear. It’s okay to separate yourself from people unwilling to hear.

But there are a lot of people who are also raised in the machine and need to have their reality disassembled little by little and put back together by people who love in truth and action. If you delete them they have one less voice in their life exposing them to views they are either sheltered from, or shelter themselves from otherwise.

Especially when in a position of privilege to not have first hand trauma, you HAVE to have people in your life that think differently than you.

You have to.

You have to.

“so how do you feel now that you’ve graduated? are you doing anything to celebrate?”

Oh, this is a fun one! I collect two very specific things in very nonspecific ways. I collect stories, and I collect time.

I'll snatches up any kind of story in any form. I've got overflowing bookshelves of amazing stories, and my phone is full of pictures, little captured moments of people in little bits of time. I've got little scraps of paper with whispers of handwriting of everyone I know, documenting the progress of their hand writing from the day the were born to the day they died. Little drawings from little kids that most people would throw away. Little clay sculptures from that one day we got really fun and pulled out the art supplies when they were 4. I'm a bit of a hoarder but it brings a smile to my face, so what's a little clutter in the long run?

I also collect time. Dead watches, specifically. Though I only collect the ones who haven't been tampered with. The hands still have to be in the position they died at. I want to save the moment time froze, even if only to grasp at the concept of endless eternity. The death of time is not rare, but it is easily overlooked and forgotten in the rapid rush of life.

if you don’t have @ least one collection of specific items i literally have nothing more to say to you. we will never relate to each other. however, you cool ass motherfuckers who do collect @ least one type of thing, reblog this post and say what that thing is. i’ll go first: clown dolls and good luck charms

“Gen Z will change the world”

we literally just don’t give a fuck
