leftist legume

when they "go low" we kick them in their goddam face!!!

petition to remove the barriers between different dialects of english. just make it one big soup

imagine the interlocking systems of oppression have somehow solidified into the being of one person

then, imagine that the interconnected systems of working class people supporting each other have also solidified into the being of one person

what's next? wrestlemania. everyone loves an underdog

hell is other people yes, and heaven is other people, and earth is other people. you could say that wherever you are, you're going to find other people there too

control is never absolute. in general it's safe to assume that you don't have any control of anything or anyone external to yourself. you choose how you want to exist in this world to an extent,, and that's it. good luck

sometimes things work out if you try really hard and plan and put the things in place and execute your plan perfectly

sometimes things work out if you don't think too hard and just trust the process of being present in the moment

sometimes things don't work out and who knows why

lot of people struggling with relationships, executive functioning, taking care of themselves rn. it's the stress of the world it really weighs us down. be gentle with yourself and the people around you. save your frustration for the feds

Doomers really need to dial it down right now and actually pay attention to what is happening.

It's not just that they're incompetent, they're fucking up massively.

And this is their big moment, if they fuck up the martial law rollout idk that they get another chance

So much fucking tear gas. DHS going nuts right now.

This is happening in your sanctuary city “Los Angeles”

I think once people realized they can bully ICE agents if they don’t have a full police escort it was kinda over for them.

we meander. it might feel like we don't know where we're going, but we're figuring it out moment by moment

you're never too old to learn the same lesson over again

When you say something 100% true that people don’t want to hear, because it makes them feel ashamed for the evil things they have done and will continue to do, instead of changing their mind they just get really, really angry at you for saying the truth. This is why everything is so fucked up.

numbers are more holy than the bible, by the way

Breathe in. Hold your hands out in front of you. Repeat after me, as you bring your hands up towards your chin: "I accept what is."

Breathe out. As you exhale, gradually bring your hands down until they are in front of you again. Repeat after me: "I work to change what I can."

Do this 3 - 7 times.

fortunate and grateful to have people who love me during an extremely destabilizing time. we aren't guaranteed to get through this, but if we do, it'll be together

in a prolonged state of inner crisis which mirrors a state of crisis in my environment/the world

it sucks but, sometimes it helps to have a bit of crisis to reflect on what's important to you and to seek change. the same thing applies to our wider world

the void will never love you back

people who believe in things like, "the rule of law," or, "government," or "checks and balances," are having a rough time right now. all of this is the story our country has been telling and all of it is built on lies and violence

whatever line there is, we've crossed it. maybe you can say there never was a line, and the existence of a line for certain situations was just a useful story. that story's over now. what's next?

you ever just read something and know that a scientist approved of it? yeah my posts are like that

i lost the queen of wands, just that one card. what does this portend for me

life is just a series of comedies masquerading as tragedies

what is or is not recognized as a disability is often a function of how easy/desired it is by society to provide accommodations, by WHO we are talking about and their other intersecting identities, access to medical care, etc.

beginning to think more and more that any hard distinction between disabled vs. nondisabled is a consequence of eugenicist propaganda

put it this way, everybody will have a recognizable disability at some point in their life if they live long enough

would transform public health to recognize this

yeah the cliches are true. i know, i know, it's so obvious how can it be true? it's obvious BECAUSE it's true

i could psychoanalyze these dickheads endlessly. they don't make it hard

one thing i will say is it DOES all go back to authoritarian, dehumanizing childhoods

you want to cut it off at the source, you work with parents and schools to help kids develop a sense of self

nothing feels real to them because they've never known unconditional love, because they don't know how to stop and appreciate a sunset or a sandwich, because they've been trained to view people as a set of market based characteristics

they're totally out of touch with any inner world

rich people being some of the most aggressive in not spending money when they don't want to makes a certain amount of sense in that they get rich by fixating on accumulating money and fighting to keep it

it's religious for them

this is all politics is about
