Our ancestors were real breathing people who turned sticks into fire, their descendants spent thousands of years building a regime of unsurpassed global peace and prosperity, and we shall not entertain the suggestion that it all ends here just because the man with the golden toilet says so.

I dunno, frankly insane that we were bullied into silence about a genocide and I don’t think we should be bullied into silence about the same state actors bombing a new population of civilians and starting a major world war

The fact that Canadian leaders continue to have "Let's build more pipelines" conversations while Saskatchewan and Manitoba are being decimated by wildfires is just wild to me

One day everyone will be ready to talk about how women’s πŸ’ hockey teams manage not to gang assault people at tournaments and then have the entirety of law enforcement and the legal system try to protect them, while the media makes it clickbait. It’ll probably be a while though.

A reminder for this Transgender Day of Visibility:

Trans people have always existed, and we always will.Β 

No president, politician, or court can change that.

Valentine’s Day has become a corporate holiday. It needs to return to its true meaning: beating evangelists with clubs and beheading them outside the Flaminian Gate.

I would simply debate the One Ring and win the argument with my superior rhetorical skills, thus cleansing it of the dark lord Sauron's magic, and so then in place of a dark lord there would be a queen, not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn, treacherous as the sea, stronger than the founda

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
