whenever i get worried about being judged i just gotta remind myself that most people genuinely just arent mean. some people really do suck but i think 98% of the human population is a lot kinder than your anxiety would let you believe

it's easy to lose sight of when youre online but all the dickheads are just pushed forward by algorithms. theyre an exception that are being way overrepresented. most people have sense and logic and are kind and normal and well adjusted in the real world

"The new animal farm is just what a rich liberal thinks about our society " okay so thats because the original story is like that as well

When Orwell was alive, he worked for both the British imperial army in his youth, and for the cia later in his life. To act like he is not hilariously biased when it comes to the subject of communism and socialism is just plain revisionism of his life and the society that surrounded him. He wasn't a progressive writer, and this must be taken into mind when analyzing his work.

it has been repeated a thousand times, but his works aren't some "anti-authoritarian" anything. he was a man who had a deep disdain for the working class and the idea of the working class doing revolution. he had no problem being the boot on other people's throat. he had no problem making lists of political dissidents to report to the police. he wrote some dogshit novels about what he thought the USSR was like (he never went there or really studied it) during the second world war. he also wrote "I should like to put it on record that I have never been able to dislike Hitler" in his 1940 review of Mein Kampf. the only reason he is so well regarded is because the CIA pushed his works onto TV and into schools as anticommunist propaganda. he was always a worm and his works are just bourgeois wank.

Every day there are martyrs here in Gaza. Every day there are shells, bombs, gunfire, and injuries. Every day one or two people die from Israeli bombs. The war hasn't ended; the war continues, but slowly. We are dying slowly.

With the ongoing siege and the prevention of medicine, food, and clean drinking water from entering, we are suffering terribly. My sister is suffering from severe anemia and dangerous malnutrition, and her body has become too weak to endure any more. she is still fighting to survive without the medicine and nutritional treatment she desperately needs to stay alive.

In Gaza, illness is no longer just pain — it can become a death sentence because of the siege, starvation, and the collapse of the healthcare system. Please help us and donate before we lose her forever.

Leather fetishes are back in cuz everything is polyester these days.. touching real HQ material in 2026 is enough to give anyone a little sexual zing

This is weird bevause ive had this exact thought before

Actually it really does help to paint the picture

"why don't you set an alarm to remind yourself to put your marbles in your bag?" i will fill your shoes with goo

the absolutely brutal backlash against BLM including all the backstabbing and scapegoating in the liberal media really did set political action and organizing in the usa so far back its so bleak

it was so infuriating to see the media in lockstep proclaim “the protestors are antifa terrorists” and the liberal politicians in lockstep proclaim “we’re increasing police funding. eat tear gas, fuckface.”

constantly thinking about how "abolish the police" was too radical and "defund the police" was still too radical and now we have massive urban warfare training facilities all over the country and flock cameras watching our every move. it's all so fucked

Cemeteries are not wastes of space. Historical cemeteries ESPECIALLY are not wastes of space. The fact developers are continuously foaming at the mouth to destroy them and put a strip mall up in their place should make you even more determined to help maintain them. In urban areas, they are a haven for wildlife. They are a green space. If you are too afraid of death to utilize them for that purpose, that is on you.

The really unfortunate thing about mental health progress is that sometimes you realize you've made it in the form of "wow, I haven't felt this bad in a fucking while"

On the one hand it's a bit of a pick me up in a dark place to know that this will pass because it has passed before on the other hand sometimes it isn't entirely a pleasant thought to go "wow, I used to feel like this all the time. That was pretty fucking bad. It's pretty bad right now too also."

Someday your current baseline will be the sort of thing you consider A Really Bad Day. It does get better.

it’s annoying as fuck actually how often supposed progressives jump to emasculanization as a way of making fun of men that suck. and i don’t buy the argument of “well i don’t think it’s bad but THEY would so it’s funny.” i don’t believe you. you think it’s funny to imply a man is a faggot because it’s been ingrained in you to think it’s funny/humiliating for a man to be feminine and FURTHERMORE you equate being penetrated with submissiveness and submissiveness with femininity. fix your hearts or die
