#cus god forbid i have a nuanced take

[cosmologicalspoon]

i keep seeing anti-labour memes about how they're just tory lite and listen. listen i fucking get it ok they suck ass they do. sure kier starmer is flawed as fuck and labour is diluted conservatives sure. but diluted. is still LESS. if this election is gonna be a pick the lesser of two evils situation u gotta nut up and fucking vote for the lesser evil. i don't give a shit. srsly I dont care. I know it sucks I know its bad but u can't. u can't sit it out. u can't protest vote. it won't work. and the tories will stay in power

no matter how much u can hate on starmer (and trust me I hate on him a LOT) he will be better than the tories.

blair was also a labour leader considered tory lite and u kno what? yeah he sucked ass but he got Some shit done. the NHS flourished a lil under his leadership u can hate him all u want for not having been a left enough leader but he was a damn sight better than the tories wudve been

so when the election rolls around u gotta fucking suck it up buttercup. I hate seeing this kind of anti-labour rhetoric even in meme form cus it's just gonna either discourage voting especially among the left, or it will completely split the vote. and then we will b truly fucked.

vote smart. vote labour if u have to. unseat the tories and fucking get them the fuck out of power

#uk politics #im gonna tag this as nuanced #and wait for the hate mail #cus god forbid i have a nuanced take #on the reading comprehension webbed site #but listen. we gotta be smart about this #morals in voting are for local elections #not the general one #in the general election u have to pull ur thumb out and pick whatever option will beat the tories #even if u hate em #sorry #thats just how it is #kier starmer #labour #fuck the tories #tories out #anti tories

i was hellbent on making everyone feel the same pain i did

i burnt a lot of bridges and acted rashly

without thinking of the consequences

it's only by God's grace I'm still here

what are the odds my aunt calls me on my way to Queens after not talking to her for a long time

when i decided to go to NY after work

i was lost for 5 years

i don't blame myself

i felt displaced, my anchor ripped out

seeing my brother, the apathy, was a wound like no other

i really feel if we had rallied together the outcome would've been different

but time and time again

the people i thought -

again i know the bible says this but it still hurts

today i forgive as God has forgiven me

but i feel sad of what could've been the stories to be told

my grandma, aunt

i don't want to hold it against them

but i feel they can only do so much if God forbid, they won't come

i've seen that with my mom

and i don't want my anger to impact my interactions with them

but as i'm 30 i can be aware of the relationships that i can feed into and vice versa

is it mutual

it hurts because of the layer of "familial" ties

i also didn't make an effort to be in people's lives and i want to be more intentional with that

i can choose space

TV sets up this ideal nuclear family

but from what i seen there is no perfect family

they are intricacies, nuances

it is not as easy, take care of her, cus she's your mom

i suppose tradition would say that

and i've decided with prayer what level of engagement to have with my mum

i regret not spending time with her when i was younger

i hope we can build a relationship

this will be my third christmas that i'm MIA

i will go next year, my parents are getting younger

i won't be ashamed - i'm grateful!
