in light of police across the country cracking down on pro palestine protests with brutal force, it feels like a great time to remind everyone to shut the fuck up around cops. don't make small talk, dont act friendly, don't fucking engage with them!! if you are arrested DO NOT speak without a lawyer present. protest organizers, get into contact with local pro bono lawyers who can be there for your arrested comrades. no matter what, if cops are there, shut the fuck up unless you are actively doing a protest chant. dont tell cops why you were there, dont tell them if you're affiliated with the school you may be protesting at, dont tell them if you came there with anyone, dont tell them anything!!!

Your parents are not "narcissists". They're typical authoritarian assholes who treat you like their property because society allows them to.

Your ex boyfriend is not a "narcissist". He's a typical misogynistic douchebag who treats women like shit because society allows him to.

Your boss is not a "narcissist". They're a typical classist dipshit who thinks workers' entire purpose in life is to generate profit because society allows them to.

And even if they happen to be a "narcissist", that's not what gave them the power to get away with abuse.

So stop blaming mental illness and start blaming society's normalization of abuse. Stop acting like someone has to have a mental illness in order to do something cruel when ordinary people have been doing atrocious things since forever.

"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

It is almost as if the world is telling us a morbid joke: we will kill you if you resist and kill you if you hide, and if you refuse, and if you concede, and we will devour your land and gulp your oceans and kill you with hunger and thirst.  The massacres will be televised, broadcast in broad daylight. Our judges will legalize them. Our politicians, inert, inept, or complicit, will fund them then feign sympathy, if any. Our academics will stand idle—that is, until the dust settles, then they will write books about what should have been. Their rotten institutions will commemorate us after our death.  And the vultures, even from our midst, will tour museums glorifying, romanticizing what they once condemned, what they did not deign to defend—our resistance—mystifying it, depoliticizing it, commercializing it. The vultures will make sculptures out of our flesh. A morbid joke, but I am not amused.

whenever someone points out that horse riding is harmful for the animal some dumbass inevitably comes in acting like "horses need exercise!" is a valid take as if it's not possible for an animal to get exercise without someone sitting on them

Make that make sense. People have to quit blaming the poor for being poor.

officially decided that anyone who tries to divide the lgbt community is a fed. i dont care if you're not actually a fed, if you're causing infighting in a minority community then you're a fed who just isnt getting paid to be one. either apply for a job at the CIA or shut the fuck up

Go to McDonald’s and eat over 2,000 calories of fatty crap and nobody gives a shit, but say you’re vegan and suddenly everyone is a fucking nutritionist.

Clothes do not equal gender

Tits on display does not invalidate your gender identity

Boy tits are cool

Yes I'm going to wear a bralette and Hawaiian shirt because I cannot legally or safely have my tits out in the world but want to feel as close to shirtless/open shirt as possible

You can suck my balls.

Anthropomorphism: these dogs are getting married they’re in love! Sharks want to be friends with us! Look at my cat he’s wearing a hat omg he thinks he’s a fireman!

Not anthropomorphism: animals feel pain and fear and they don’t want to be killed

Every time I see someone argue in favor of any military violence at all I feel like it fills me with ten times the bloodlust they're even expressing. Like all they have to say is that they think sometimes going to war is unavoidable and civilian casualties are unavoidable and immediately I'm fantasizing about picking that person up by one leg and swinging them around until their skull perfectly collides with a sharp jagged boulder. If they love bloody savage inhumane slaughter so much they should be lining up for it.

I am begging all of you to spend one godforsaken night of your lives actually researching the cruelty and environmental impact of leather and wool production. I’m dead fucking serious. Just literally spend a few hours looking into it.

I, heroically, do not have a problem with vegans so long as they don’t stand up for animals, criticise anything I do or attempt to disrupt my access to cheeseburgers in any way.

This is very big of me actually.
