Wow. I don’t even know what to say, but this is really powerful.
A little video we all should take a moment to watch and think about.
Instead of thinking about what divides us we should think about what we have in common…
i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because:
i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live
most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person
im not a pissbaby
I’ve been a follower for a long time but since you’re pro choice I have to unfollow, I srsly can’t believe you support that 🙄
For everyone who follows me:
Please unfollow me and block me if you believe that abortion is wrong
Unfollow me if you think getting investigated after having an miscarriage is justified
UNFOLLOW AND BLOCK ME if you think a doctor performing an abortion needs to eat more jail time than a rapist

Holy shit.... Never Again Action (the group who started #JewsAgainstICE) had an ICE detention truck drive through them while they were shutting down Wayne Detention Center in Rhode Island this evening (August 14th).
I want to apologise to
- Britney for making fun of her when she had her breakdown
- Monica Lewinski for judging her when she was a 22year old temp sexually assaulted by the most powerful man in the world
- Ke$ha for ever thinking she was trashy when all she wanted to do was make party music
- Kristen Stewart for ever thinking she was dumb when she’s actually one of the coolest people ever
- Megan Fox for ever thinking she was just a slut when actually she was an actress being harassed by her employer.
- Hating all the women who made a career out of having a hot body. Being is shape is hard, beauty is a weapon and auto promotion is hard work.
- All the Mary-Sues, who exist because young girls everywhere want to be part of a story they love so much
- All the female characters I ever snobbed because they got in the way of my ship.
- Hating the color pink during my teenage years, when it’s actually a lovely color and what I resented was society’s pressure to perform femininity.
whats the difference between bi people and unicorns
i can see unicorns on movies and tv
You know I could be wrong but I feel like it’s not actually a problem that so many kids want to be YouTubers cause like, not all YouTubers are Brent Rivera. Some of the most popular Youtubers are engineers, chefs, farmers, artists, etc. Plus lots of cool really niche skills that you can’t easily do for a living otherwise.
like when a kid says they want to be a Youtuber I think what they really mean is that they want to be able to do the thing they’re passionate about and share that passion with a community while making a stable income. And yeah the reality of YouTube is a lot darker than that but look me in the eyes and tell me that making people happy by doing something you love and being able to financially support yourself doing it isn’t something you’re dreaming of too.
Look maybe I’m wrong and they all want to be Mr. Beast. That’s fine. All I’m saying is that the world is a fucked capitalist hellscape and kids are way more observant than you think. They’re looking for an alternative path and personally, I don’t blame them.
I don't know if it's just me but when it comes to the LGBT community and straight people both sides are completely rude but also ridiculous turns one another
Like gay people should be able to safely be in TV, able to get married , have adoptive children and etc
However
They can be hypersexual and predatory towards kids
Same thing with straight people they are stuck up about LGBTQ people that deserve the rights above
But they are right about LGBTQ people going too far with certain topics
So I think its safe to say no matter the person ,people are not exempt from calling out their behavior but it shouldn't be because they are trans or a man or anything its because they are a threat to themselves and society
I don't know if it's just me but people are treating black girls awfully and I mean it. I've seem videos in the pass 3 days abusing or degrading black girls .
Examples
A dad records his daughter high
A mom going live to slutshame her daughter
A group of young girls singing sexy red
And by this point its ridiculous that black girls dont have the super system they deserve plus how are these things not considered a form of abuse
I may keep an update just to prove my point....
Little angels drown in alcohol
The garden of Eden has lost its color
Everything is black and white on this earth apparently
And we even judge people by it
All the demons came to light
Shiny teeth that bite hard
Muscle in their arms so they can hold you tight
And uniforms that gives them a right and position
To oppress their peers
And chain them with no cause
Because that’s what we become
Politics over humanity
Capitalism over quality
Walking as a woman is dangerous
Because a man might get hurt by my rejection
And put his mind to action
It’s a scary world when you don’t feel you belong
Holding my girlfriend’s hand is scandalous
We’re suddenly obnoxious
Vile, vulgar and odious.
“Transforming little kids into homosexuals”
Shout the homophobes
When men see us the prey is double
Cause what’s more hot
Than two girls fucking each other
Gross old men looking for little kids
Calling them inviting just because their little skirt is flowing
Seeing them seductive and cuddly
Where’s the life penalty?
Men want their women all body magazines
But when they see a little meat on the bone they get scared of it
Because the problem is not the fat
Is emasculation, their dicks smaller like that
Thin is in until the body gives in
And on the cover of the magazine
Won’t be a picture perfect
But a nice obituary
Mother crying for her daughter
That she pushed into the headlights
Now she’s praying for her soul
In the mansion that she now owns
Little girls grew up with diets
Cola zero and cigarettes
Looking out for calories
And prescription pills
Little boys grew up with toy guns
And they fought each other in the playground
Now older boys play with guns
And they fight until they’ve reached the graveyard
Prayer after prayer every mother is grieving
For their loss
But who in the world gives a fuck
When in school they still have guns
Depressed little kid drawing his perfect life on paper
Father absent and mother alcoholic
Who is there for little Timmy
Life has learned him a new trick
When life comes as hard as it is
Get yourself a bag of chips
And some cola and some cookies
Because there you will find love
And when the kids at school will laugh
Only you would know that you’re loved unconditionally
By the thing that makes you sick
And bound
Or when little Angie cries to sleep
She learned that on an empty stomach
Feelings don’t matter anymore
Cause she’s like a rock
Her soul I mean, because her body is like a feather waiting for the wind to blow her into oblivion.
Johnny just shaved his beard and is wearing makeup now, he wants to be a woman and call her Jenny now
Betty from the grocery shop doesn’t have boobs anymore and she shaved her hair, she prefers to be called “he”
But the people will ask her if she’s sick and she will say no, I’m a man
Then the people look at her in a way like they wished she was actually sick
Because this world we live in
Being who you are is a sin.

Y'know, the thing I hate about socializing is that there is no in-between. It's either "you're not trying hard enough, take opportunities", or "you're trying too hard, dont come off so strong". Like how the fuck am I supposed to tell someone I really want to be their friend but don't know how because I haven't had a friend since I was 9 and the most socializing I get day to day is from my parents? Like okay I'll just start leaving the bodies of my kills during a night of hunt on their doorstep, that should get the point across subtly but not as forward as a text asking if they want to join my howling on a full moon.
people need to stop treating the "paraphilia" as a valid concept. in order for it to be a legitimate concept, you must presuppose that there is a natural, typical expression of sexual desire that paraphilias stand against in contrast. this presupposition completely ignores that what are considered "normal" expressions of sexual desire are entirely socially defined and violently enforced as part of the patriarchy. for example, the only reason that attraction to fat people is considered a paraphilia is because fatphobia dehumanizes fat people (especially fat women), thus making attraction to them taboo and worthy of ridicule. attraction to skinny people, on the other hand, is not considered a paraphilia because that's what the patriarchy has decided is "normal". stop giving credence to the patriarchy by accepting the pathologization of "deviant" sexuality at face value.
Bro, you ok? Bro, humans aren’t separate from the ecosystems around us. We’re a part of them, bro. Bro, we’re never going to have absolutely zero effect on ecosystems, because we live here, bro. Bro, I never said it had to be a bad effect. We don’t have to immediately be perfect either, bro, sometimes doing what you can is what you can, and its way better than nothing. Bro what do you mean humans are a plague. You’re starting to sound a bit like an ecofascist, bro… Bro?
"who radicalized you" ever since i was a child i wanted other people to be treated nicely and fairly because i didnt understand why theyd deserve otherwise and it fills me with disgust seeing how people treat their fellow human beings sometimes
If I died 5 years ago, my parents would have buried a son. It wouldn't have been my name on my tombstone. Who would have grieved for me? Who would have looked at the tombstone of that boy and wept for the woman that was buried beneath that ground?
It wouldn't have been my mom. Not my father. It wouldn't have been my brothers. I doubt my now ex even would have grieved for the real me. A handful of souls would have grieved for the woman that they lost, while a service was held for a dead boy in a suit.
The world would never have known me.
They say there are three deaths. When your body ceases to function, when you're consigned to the grave, and when your name is spoken for the last time. What if your name is never spoken? What of the woman who never heard her name spoken from another set of lips?
I see you, nameless ones. I may never be able to speak your name, for I do not know it, but I will grieve for you. You will not be forgotten for as long as I have tears to shed.
