why is it in movies it’s only ever villains who say stuff like “there’s no such thing as a good person or a bad person” when imo that is literally true. nobody is 100% good or 100% bad and acting like the world is cleanly divided between Good People and Bad People just causes a whole slew of problems
thinking that some people are Good and some are Bad means that you’re gonna be constantly scrambling to be one of the Good Ones, which is often determined in the court of public opinion. which just means you’ll be doing whatever the discourse says is Good instead of thinking for yourself. meaning you end up caring more about being perceived as Good than about actually doing things that minimize harm.
thinking that some people are Bad means you’re gonna subconsciously divide the populace into “Good People who deserve rights” and “Bad People who do not” and that tends to lead to violence, police states, and/or extrajudicial killing
imo there’s not Good People and Bad People there’s just. People. who can do things that either hurt or heal others. and morality is the balancing act of finding a way to live while healing more than you hurt, or at least minimizing the amount of hurt you create (since living in modern society tends to create hurt by default). and anybody can wake up one day and decide to try to do a little more healing than they did yesterday. that doesn’t mean that the people they’ve hurt have to like them or even interact with them, but they should get a chance to try
my worldview is that the only thing someone can do that will mark them as Cosmically Irredeemably Bad is to realize that they hurt than they heal and then deliberately choosing to keep doing it anyway. unfortunately those people exist and are in positions of power (points at governments) but the vast majority of us are Just Some Guys who can always choose to try for better yknow

Pride is almost here so I think it is good to remember pride isn't here thanks to world wide companies who "dress in rainbow" just for a month. Pride is here because trans women, butch lesbians, gay men, queer people of color and every other memeber of the LGBTQ+ community fought in the past and still fighting today. There are still a lot of things to fight for. So keep fighting until we are sure each one of us is safe and happy. Have a great pride month.
Me: Hey, Im genderqueer, so that means you should call me your sibling instead of your brother or sister when you talk about me
My eight year old brother: i dont talk about you.
"But won't children be confused by all the LGBT-"
Yesterday I saw a mother with a baby carriage, being followed by a girl of about 4-6 years old on a bicycle. The kid started ringing her bike bell like RING RING RING RING RING RING RING, and the mother turned to look behind them to see whether they were being followed by a cyclist who desperately needs to pass them for the sake of everyone's safety.
And the little girl - who just rang the goddamn bell herself 5 seconds ago - also turned to look.
Kids are confused by everything at all times. They don't know jack shit. About anything.
Pride exists because of a black trans woman who was a sex worker.
Pride exists because of a black, bisexual trans woman who was a sex worker that threw a brick at a cop.
Pride exists because of a black, bisexual trans woman, who was a sex worker, that threw a brick at a cop and started a riot against the state.
Don't lose this month in rainbow capitalism and unabashed racism because of the privilege of being white while queer.
If you aren't supporting queer people of color, trans women, and queer sex workers, you aren't celebrating pride, you are celebrating rainbow capitalism and police brutality.
This is so empowering to see proving that despite how hard the churches and Canadian government tried. They failed to “kill the Indian in the child” and that we will continue to flourish in our beautiful culture ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 and we will never give up
