"SAY, I SAY, SEE HERE, GIRLIE! WHY ARE YA ALWAYS SACRIFICIN' YOURSELF, HUH? DON'T GO DEMEANIN' YERSELF BY SAYING YOU CAN'T HELP NOBODY OR THAT YER USELESS! THINK ABOUT ALL THE FOLKS THAT CARE FOR YA, MISSY! CUT, I SAY, CUT IT OUT, GIRL! DON'TCHA KNOW THAT THERE'S FOLKS WHO'D GRIEVE IF YA KICKED THE BUCKET? WHY DON'TCHA THINK ABOUT THE FOLKS WHO TRY THEIR DARNDEST TO PROTECT YA, GIRL? Nice girl but she'd lose her head just like ol' blondie if it weren't bolted to her neck."
Thinking about when I worked at a shitty restaurant + one night it was just me + 3 other women on closing shift, so some guy came in the back and waved a knife around, presumably for money but I’m not actually certain, bc he was met with the bartender holding a much bigger knife, a tiny teenager wielding a cast iron pan, an elderly woman holding up a crockpot of clearly boiling water, and me, turning on the meat slicer with eye contact for maximum effect. He left, but the moral of the story is not girl power or whatever, it’s just. Why the fuck would you threaten a room full of underpaid and sleep-deprived blue-collar workers surrounded by lethal weapons.
i was in the grocery store and saw an onion on the ground and picked it up, absently saying “poor little guy.” behind me a teenage girl started laughing and then stopped and went “aww. i’m sorry for laughing. that’s nice actually.” and the cycle of cruelty is broken for another generation as a young person realizes that it is not embarrassing to have empathy for another thing that was once living, because certainly to be a lone white onion rolling on the ground in a supermarket would be terrifying to anyone
(for the purposes of this poll, there is no monkey's paw situation: the chore you pick stays the same level of difficulty/grossness/etc. as it normally is for you, and you only have to do it as often as you want to. the chores you don't pick are magically done for you exactly the way you'd want them to be, just with zero effort on your part.)
platforming palestinian joy is just as important as sharing the suffering they're enduring during this genocide. despite continued displacement and bombardment, you cannot steal their joy and spirit. happy birthday to this sweet baby 🖤🇵🇸 may they grow up to see a free palestine
