these photos are so insane. how the fuck do you live with the shame of this and still have the audacity to get on stage and say "what these tiktok zoomers don't understand is, well, in a way we are all complicit and we should all reflect on that" bro i was not the one who signed a 38 billion dollar military aid package in 2016. hope you are haunted by this every single waking moment for the rest of your life

TRA here means "transracial adoptee" fyi, just in case you're used to seeing that in another context
As a transracial adoptee (Native/Mexican to white Mormons) i have trouble putting to words the amount of harm having ~liberal white parents~ did to me. It is very very rare for me to go, yeah, okay, I support a transracial adoption. All of these experiences are absolutely believable to me.
OMG SOMEONE MADE IT INTO A PIN (I FOUND IT HERE)
aghhh i love this
kinda bullshit the English language doesn't have a discrete word for an unlit campfire. you light a campfire, but what is it before you light it? also a campfire, I guess. I need to invent a word that can be intuitively understood as "the arrangement of wood that is intended to become a campfire"
well "an arrangement of wood that is intended to become a campfire" sounds like it's just a bundle of sticks and I think there is a collective word for that maybe

Her feeties make a nice pillow.
sometimes people experiencing psychosis and/or mania will come up to you on the street and talk in confusing or upsetting ways. your job is to either have a regular human-to-human conversation with that person or politely leave. your job is not to call 911. do not call 911. you might kill that person if you call 911.
I don't even have the energy to screenshot and respond to your tags- what the actual fuck is wrong with you? "the cops are scared and rightfully so" "mental health calls are the scariest for cops" OH so this isn't about the safety of psychotic & manic people this is about piggy feelings?
and no, actually, this is not USA specific and no, actually, people from other countries should not ignore this post. police violence and sanism weren't invented in the US and they are certainly not unique to here. if you (or anyone) thinks that this bullshit doesn't happen elsewhere then you are not listening.
cops r Some Guy with a Gun
do we want Some Guy with a Gun in this situation? answer is usually "NO"
This is legitimately useful reframing. A while ago I started replacing the word "cop" in my vocabulary with "a man with a gun." It really puts things into perspective.
This homeless person is making me uncomfortable. Should I call [a man with a gun]?
My neighbor is having a loud party. Should I get [a man with a gun] involved?
There are some teenagers skateboarding. Do you think [a man with a gun] would get rid of them for me?
It makes it very clear what you're saying. I can call a man with a gun to threaten or hurt someone mildly inconveniencing me. You're not calling the cops, you're calling A MAN WITH A GUN into a situation that does not warrant a firearm handled by a volatile lunatic who will not be held accountable for his actions.
I mentioned my desire to go to Tucson to them.
I did not say anything romantic. They have a head on their shoulders, one both exceedingly beautiful and intelligent. They know that's on my mind. But I also have my own personal reasons for wanting to go to Tucson, reasons I want to go whether or not we work out. Nor did I say "whether we get back together again" or anything like that. Implied, but not stated. That's as far as I'm going, and I'm going back now. Any further and I'm in violation, nor should I stay where I got to tonight for the same reason.
I also made clear I don't know how long it would take exactly, since I'm not in the kind of career yet that I'd need to be able to move down there. There are openings for various things, and I might get one, and then I might be able to transfer an apprenticeship or something down to Tucson. But I don't have those yet. So I'm not pretending I'm yet at the point where we could get back together. "Whoo-wee, I just said I also want to go to Arizona! Let's forget that that hasn't happened yet, and be back together!" Yeah, *no*. I know that isn't how it works. I can say whatever I like, but even if I do mean it - and I absolutely do mean it - what matters is whether it's done. So the acknowledgement that I have an idea, but nothing concrete yet, that we'll see, is me implicitly saying that yes, of course, I know those conditions aren't met yet. Just that, for reasons unrelated to you in addition to reasons related to you, this is genuinely what I want, and that's all I'm saying.
The response I received? Good response. Appreciation of Arizona, beautiful pictures from their trip. Didn't directly address the reasons I stated for wanting to move to Tucson, didn't mention Tucson, specifically, but shared other good things about Arizona. That's an acknowledgement and understanding that it is my genuine desire, along with reasons they want to be in Arizona - though they didn't say Tucson - without rebuke. Without "but you should go to the green parts of the PNW because they're of a similar climate to the lands of your ancestors". To be fair... My body is not built for heat. I will cook in Tucson. But I am a human, and we adapt. It's also not "I'm sorry, please take me back," but I wasn't expecting that, and that wouldn't be right. We've both suffered heartbreak, and we need healing. And while the breakup hurts, the reason that we've been long-distance for so long, without getting much closer to being together, is a good reason. She's right, as much as I wish she weren't, and that we were still together. That pain can't continue. We'll love when we can be together, or we will just be friends. I understand and agree.
Still. She didn't react negatively to the statement of my intent. She reacted warmly. And I'll back off, knowing there is some hope, but no guarantee. I'll back off, I'll work hard to get down there, and let's hope I do, but we'll see. But if I do, we might see some happiness.
In any case, there is a point. If we're just friends... 😮💨We're just friends, but we will be good friends. But if I do achieve this, and if she does then take me back, *once we're both where we need to be*, I think we'll have a great love that will last. But for now, I'm just a good friend, and the friend will respect.
I need to get into a good trade if I want to move down to Tucson, though.
Tucson genuinely seems like a good place. Even if I can't restore the love... Gods, that would hurt... But even if that doesn't happen, I'd be away from my nuclear family, it'd be more affordable, more left-wing - and I think I'll lean into the Southwestern cowboy aesthetic if I do. Wear Western ponchos and the boots and such. That obviously isn't common in Tucson, but that'd make more sense than where I live now.

What even is the point of anything until what was lost is restored?
Yet I know things won't be restored until conditions are changed. But they must be changed fast enough.
I don't want to lose her love forever. It's bad enough I've lost it for now.
What even is the point of anything until what was lost is restored?
I never even got to talk to her mom.
She said her mom wanted to talk to me. Video chat. Sometime, no specified time.
The next morning, she broke up with me. It was a video call, because I could tell what it was going to be from the messages sent before. Her mom wasn't part of that.
Did her mom say I was a loser? Decided there's no point to a meeting because I'm worthless and undeserving?
What hurts is... I can't even argue against that. But I at least wanted to meet her. Finally do the decent thing of meeting her. Have her talk with folks from my family; I figured my sister and brother-in-law would be the best. I wanted to arrange that, so she'd at least know my love for Raven is deep and true, that I really have just had bad luck, but that given I finally get the chances I need, I'm willing to do whatever to make Raven happy, loved, safe, warm, free. I wanted to let her know that I really do care, I was just... ashamed. I was ashamed of myself. And I had only hoped I could finally, FUCKING FINALLY, GET THE CHANCES I NEED TO BUILD MYSELF A LIFE, and do everything I can for Raven to ensure she would be happy sharing this life with me.
I couldn't even talk to her mom before Raven broke up with me. And now there's no need. I'm just the nice loser in Washington who means well but has to learn he doesn't have a chance, not even because either of us fell out of love, but because of circumstances and time. Time and fucking circumstances.
Time and circumstances are poor reasons to permanently give up on something so pure.
I would never dishonor her. I would never disrespect her. That wouldn't be right, that's not who I am, and besides, I love her so deeply. It is her wish we be friends. And she will have her wish. I only hope she spoke truly when she said we might have a chance if things change, and that I will be in time for that chance, and that such a right love as the one between us will flourish.
If she says no... I wish her happiness, but I will not find another love. She is the one for me. To be with another would betray my love for her, and even if it becomes a one-sided love that does not return to requital, it is part of who I am now, part of my code. Even if she'd say, and she has said, I'm free to find someone else, it would be a betrayal of her in my heart. I won't betray my heart. I'd rather it be broken than betrayed.
