"No More Hotels"

Graffiti seen around Aruba in the Caribbean, denouncing the overconstruction of hotels and the extreme land loss the Indigenous people of the Island are facing.

important lesson from op shopping at the tip: if a jacket or shirt has a crest/logo that's even more tacky and poorly designed than harry potter merchandise, you can confidently assume it's from a real university or private school.

In Japanese, they don’t say “moon,” they say “tsuki,” which literally translates to “moon,” and I think that’s how language works.

calling my transfem friend my sister but shaking my head so people don't think I support the institution of the family.

people on Tumblr really act like if you have any sort of even slightly positive/supportive relationship with ur parents ur super privileged and then in the same breath act like there's some universal sibling bond that everyone understands. obviously a different dynamic in how it relates to like the family as in institution of ownership but like still very silly. like have you never had a homophobic brother or something?

sometimes ur relationship is just "meh whatever, you exist but i wish you weren't such a dick sometimes" with both parents and siblings.

Mommy needs to be honest kitten. You're not a kitten, you're a puppy, I know. Actually, that's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about. You've let this whole puppygirl thing completely take over our sex life and to be honest it's not really clear to me that you really enjoy it anymore. You really seem stuck in a short-term hedonic spiral from posting about it on tumblr and getting likes. And I know it's hard to get out of that kind of thing but it's really been getting out of control. You said "we're trying for puppies" to my best friend of 15 years. Seriously? How the fuck am I supposed to live that down? No one was laughing. The room was dead silent and I wanted to sink into the floor. And this was days after I was crying my eyes out over the infertility stuff. So you came across as kind of an asshole on top of it. Yeah, I know you didn't mean it like that but you can only point to "bourgeois morality" so many times before it starts to feel like you're just saying "I'm sorry you got offended" you know? Like every time I try to express that some basic social decorum is necessary to preserve relationships I care about you start misquoting Bakunin. And like look you have a lot of positive qualities but I don't think this is working anymore. We both know it hasn't been good for a long time.

so glad noone in my family really smokes because if I'd been forced to hug someone AND they smelled like cigarettes i would have started a fight.

I hate hate hate hate how dog friendly everything is in the city now. Barring medical necessity, there is no reason to bring your dog to a restaurant, there is no reason to bring your dog to the grocery store, there is no reason to bring your dog to the nail salon. Dogs do not need to go everywhere you go why am I being forced to be around dogs all the time

'we transcend petty political tribalisms like left and right' is--not always, but much too often-- a marker that what you're about to read is unfiltered, high-octane, triple-distilled Turbo Fascism

#'not right‚ not left' (right) #'not communism or capitalism but a special third thing' (fascism)

the "irreversible damage" book cover is still perhaps the most succinct demonstration of how the laserfocus the detranxiety movement has on muh poor little girls is fundamentally an outgrowth of the general terror about declining (white) birth rates and white woman fertility as a dwindling resource. like, what's actually wrong with the kitschy smiling little girl in that picture? she looks pretty content for someone "mutilated." is she missing her head, brain, heart, limbs or what? anything that would obstruct her in living out her 8 decades on this earth? hell no, it's much worse than that. it's something that actually matters. she's missing her ability to produce White Babies. you're telling me we've spent decades working to overturn roe or at least make it as difficult as possible and now that we succeeded they've found a way to weasel out of being a reproductive resource anyway? that just won't do.

"the stereotype tonto talk and names are fine because they're not even meant to be indigenous. they're just the descendants of tourists who formed their own languages, that's why they greet you in navajo. it's not weird racist mishandling if they're not meant to be indigenous right? did i mention one of the Mormon missionaries was originally meant to be asian? that would have made things much better better, obviously"

honest hearts should have let you cover joshua graham in tar and set him on fire and throw him in the grand canyon again and explicitly state that it's because he's a Mormon. i think that would have improved that dlc a tiny bit. still would suck, but a lil bit more self awareness of the relationship between mormons and indigenous Americans (by having everyone set fire to mormons and explain the history and reasoning behind such an action directly into the camera) would have gone a long way.
