the people in the notes of that “have you seen a gun” poll really need to step back and analyze the varying reasons why people may have guns, and what guns they may own. because i know that the average liberal considers gun-owning to be a crime of the highest magnitude and all guns are assault rifles to them, but many people are actually quite normal and own guns for any number of the following reasons: they hunt and own hunting rifles, they collect antique guns, they have a handgun for protection, they just like guns, And More.

additionally, not all gun control laws are made equal and historically many of them are either targeted towards or are more strictly and consistently enforced against Black people, communities, and organizations (such as the black panther party).

it is not “weird” to own a gun, or to know about gun safety and laws. it is, in a world growing increasingly more dangerous, hostile, and reactive towards minority groups, an accessible and reasonable method of self-protection and self-defense, ESPECIALLY when a main force for oppression in the US (the police) are an armed group. a gun is a tool, and like most tools, it has no inherent moral weight. it is what you make of it. some people will do bad things with it. people will do bad things with every tool. but “doing something about school shootings and the accessibility of that kind of fire power” and “all guns are bad, and you are weird for having one” are two very different statements.

cis+ is stupid bc like. what's the fucking point of consciously thinking of gender and the way it shapes your life (and everyone's lives!) and coming to the conclusion that "yeah im actually my birth gender." at that point you've missed the point entirely. no one has a birth gender you dipshit it's made up. they made it up to fuck with you

I think micro aggressions are real, but I also don’t think every interaction that looks like a micro aggression is one like

Sometimes I ask ppl where they’re from because I’m also an immigrant and wanna know if we’re from the same place. I don’t have an accent, so it may seem like I’m just another nosey white American.

Sometimes as a disabled person I ask other disabled ppl about their disability because I wanna pick their brain about their experiences with doctors or get local recommendations. You can’t always tell by looking at me that I’m disabled.

Like sometimes ppl aren’t being shitty, they’re just looking for connection and camaraderie. I don’t think it’s helpful going thru the world always assuming the worst in people. I think you miss out on knowing others who may be a positive addition to your life. Like we live in a world that wants to isolate us from each other, let’s not do its work for it. Let’s become more curious about each others experiences. Let’s encourage questions.

Like no one’s telling you to share everything freely. Be discerning. Use your judgement. But be curious.

preaching to the choir im sure but it's crazy to me how liberals say that being a revolutionary is doomerism/hopeless. it's communism or extinction and I have the optimism to believe that we can have communism before capitalism destroys the planet on which we live. it's communism or genocide and I have hope that genocide is not a necessary inevitable part of the world. it's communism or borders and I have the optimism to believe that we can have a world without borders. revolutionaries don't just say that hoping for the impossibility of our oppressors taking pity on us and enacting liberation in our behalf, is a fool's endeavour, we also say that we don't need it and oppressed people do have the power to emancipate ourselves and all humanity. I don't think that's hopeless at all, that challenges every doomerist assumption capitalism and liberal ideology is based upon. being a revolutionary means believing in what the powers that be claim is impossible, and having hope that oppression is not an inevitable part of the world. I think claiming that voting for small reforms that only benefit the ruling class and a minority of the oppressed, is the only realistic hope we have, and we can never set our sights higher than that, is an incredibly hopeless and bleak worldview. frankly I'd kms if I were a liberal tbh, I can't imagine being ok living in a world you believe to be so hopeless

Harrow is holding up Sabriel’s bandolier of bells, studying them intently. Sabriel, mildly bemused, stands at her side with arms crossed. Harrow: “FASCINATING!! So each bell contains a different necromantic theorem that manifests only when it’s rung?” Sabriel: “I… suppose?”]

text from porter robinson's "goodbye to a world"

every single animal in this comic is extinct. it's not too late for the ones that are left.

edit: thanks @mudcrabmassacre for the correction, smilodon fatalis did not in fact go extinct in 1023 AD. the actual prediction is around 10,000 years ago - I think i may have missed a zero or two.
