you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself

a sentiment i come across on here fairly often is "are you a family abolitionist or were you just abused as a kid" which like. 1) god forbid we try to find structural solutions to mitigate interpersonal violence towards the most disenfranchised people in the world. and 2) the violence from parents towards children is only one type of violence within the family form. there's still all the structural (racist, classist, sexist, ableist, homophobic, transphobic, etc.) violence that goes into maintaining this structure. it interfaces with every other form of oppression out there. open your eyes!!!

Let me know if this is a derailing sentiment but I am a family abolitionist because I had wonderful parents and spent my whole childhood horrified by every other family dynamic I interacted with. I had more autonomy and rights over my own body and life than most if not all of my peers, purely because my parents viewed and treated me as another equal individual. And I was very aware of this, especially when I felt the automatic loss of some of those rights I considered naturally mine when I went to school. It is a radicalising experience to be enfranchised and view the disenfranchisement of everyone else. The discrepancy between how I was treated vs how even quote unquote 'normal families' treated their children was so stark it was impossible for me to ignore.

im gonna actively start killing people over how inaccessible so many things are if you do not have the ability to use both hands

sometimes you have to sit down and decide "do i think this was a bad narrative choice or is this just the part of my brain that wants to see all my favorite characters end the story perfectly happy and thriving." and its surprisingly hard to tell sometimes because that part of my brain is loud as fucccckkkk.

mobility aids and glasses should be free for everyone

people need those to live

MEDICATION SHOULD ALSO BE FREE ACTUALLY. PEOPLE ALSO NEED THAT TO LIVE

ok i get the sentiment from people in the notes and i do agree with it but this is specifically a disability post

I told someone today that they are important. It broke my heart when they told me "no one has ever told me I am important before." If no one has told you, you are important. You specifically, are important. Your existence matters. Your life matters. You are important.

I can't quite explain it, but Clue (1985), The Princess Bride (1987), Galaxy Quest (1999), and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) are all the same genre

They aren't a spoof (roast) or a love letter (tribute), but a best man's speech; an expression of love with a gentle ribbing on ocassion.

there is nothing a corporation hates more than having employees, but a close second is having to provide a good or service in order to make money. these two reasons concisely explain is why the ai bubble formed in the first place.

I've seen the first 3 seconds of this and scrolled on so many times and only now do I see my mistake

just as a reminder to all, the real Quileute tribe was not consulted whatsoever on the twilight series and had a lot of their culture just fully lied about & made up, which is not a remotely harmless act. you should donate to fund their cultural preservation and moving of vital centers out of tsunami zones! i try to throw in a few bucks any time i watch any twilight related media.

this is the one meme that manages to age like a fine wine
