what can be, deeply burdened by what has been

The single most important thing that I learned in my early 20s is that sometimes, a bitch needs a break. Not wants a break, not would like a break, NEEDS a break. Whether or not you find it convenient, whether or not you feel you deserve it, there is a point where you simply must put everything aside, no matter how urgent it all feels, and take a fucking break before you drop.

Being Jewish has really saved me from unhealthy radicalization because most extremist factions in western politics have been entirely unsubtle about there being no place for me in the world remade by their eventual revolution

I know I'm like two months late but it's still wild that the most two-faced useful idiots to ever speak are trying to normalize Marjorie Taylor Greene of all godforsaken people

my politics are such that I get called far-left irl but on the internet I might as well be John McCain

If you're in California, the primary election that will determine our next governor is happening right now! If you're a progressive who wants dense housing, public transit, and a protected environment, the race is pretty clear at this point: it has to be Tom Steyer. I love Katie Porter and would have preferred her, but she's polling in like 5th place and has no chance of making it to the general election. In our stupid open-primary system, strategic voting is necessary. Xavier Becerra is a status-quo, no-vision, PG&E-owned NIMBY-sympathizer and voting for Steyer is our only shot of beating him. California cannot afford to be frozen in time for eternity and someone needs to wake our state legislature up from its eternal nap.

At this point I'm convinced that the ✨Love Is Love✨ era of American social progress happened in an alternate dimension. It's hard to even remember what it was like.
