It’s funny how I’m a very cornily spiritual person when I’m like alone I’m like yes soul ties and manifestation etc are sooooo real everything is a sign but when talking to other people about anything like that I’m a huge skeptic all of a sudden and I’m like well really magical thinking is a coping mechanism becau-
I am At One With The Universe until some grifter bitch tries to sell me a quartz point for 45$.
McDonald’s giving away free fries if you use their mobile app and then updating the terms and conditions to say if you use this app you waive your right to trial in any class action lawsuits and have to do mandatory arbitration is INSANE

“dont smoke around your pets” okay well i dont even smoke im asthmatic. my dog smokes bc she needs to fucking chill sometimes and Yeah i light them for her Obviously bc she cant use a lighter. i dont get anyrhing out of this arrangment and i resent the implication. in fact shes giving ME secondhand smoke. so my question is why are you so hateful and jugemental and acting like an asshole to me making presumptions and shit about my life.
It’s been said better and more thoroughly than this but employing “women and children” rhetoric in the wake of an ethnic cleansing, where the men are framed as barbaric and expendable, is absolutely heinous and inappropriate.
Yes, women face somewhat unique (but not totally unique—there have been reports of male hostages facing forced sodomy) threats and obviously children are the most vulnerable out there, but men are being brutalized and murder as well and they aren’t “more” deserving of this occupation.
Discussions of misogyny are obviously welcome in any context but framing male victims as lesser (less victimized, less worthy of saving, less innocent) just further the dehumanization that affects all victims of said ethnic cleansing. You are giving allowance to the racism and bigotry that is utilized to justify their deaths, torture, starvation, maiming.
Anyone actually educated in meaningful feminism should easily recognize this.
Even if you don’t want to recognize the humanity of these men (which is, again, racist and heinous), do you think the women and children you claim to care for are better off without these men? Their fathers, brothers, children, cousins, lovers…
Please, do not forget the Palestinian men. Please, learn to understand that criticizing the patriarchy (and, yes, pushing back against bad faith “not all men” discussions) should not mean signing off on an ethnic cleansing.
Palestinians are innocent; age and gender does not change that.
End the occupation for the women, men, and children.
It's always "it's okay not to have an opinion" "it's okay to disconnect and take a break from everything" "don't shame people for not being aware" while having "leftist/communist/anarchist/whatever" label they give themselves to feel better, when they aren't even the ones being midly affected, why is the white leftist living in Seattle allowed to "take a break" and "step away" when the only thing people being murdered are asking for is to share what is going on and be aware of it, why is it too much to ask that people pay attention? "But my mental health :(" these people can't even begin to imagine what the victims of genocide are going thru right now mental health wise, poor white leftist living in his comfy apartment, they got so sad about what is going on in Palestine that they had to give themselves a break from looking at their phone and had to watch bluey to calm down, let's all give them a pat in the back for being so brave 🙄these people make me sick, no backbone or guts to even press a few buttons and read a few words at all
It’s truly cowardice, and we need to stop allowing it like! Fuck your mental health, there are kids so traumatized they can’t even be accurately diagnosed with ptsd bc of how back to back the trauma is, WHAT!
okay but “the symbolism is Real and Trying to Kill You” is my favorite kind of symbolism
like yeah the monster is a representation of your unresolved trauma and guilt and a manifestation of the sins of your past but it’s also a real creature and it’s going to fucking Get you
