stuck in an endless cycle of rethinking my life

When we talk about why we hate landlords, we need to tie gentrification into the conversation. We can't just assume people understand why renting is bad, because renting is insanely normalized. Everyone knows someone who rents, which is precisely why we should be talking about this more. When someone asks, well why do you hate landlords? We say: Because of gentrification. Because we are losing housing as we speak. Because when poor neighborhoods are renovated and re-valued, they run poor and middle class people out of their homes, their communities, and then sell back to us the properties that were already ours. We say, because it's why we have homelessness. Because when we adjust incomes for inflation, housing continues to get pricier and pricier and if it doesn't stop, none of us will have housing. There will be a point when rent is too expensive for any of us lower, middle-class, working-class people to afford, and we are reaching that point, and landlords telling us nicely that we can pay them insane amounts of money for houses and communities that were ours 10 to 20 years ago is the most shameless scam that we have ever normalized and it needs to go. Our wages are getting smaller. Our costs of living larger. It really is an encroaching problem, and it doesn't stop if you're a homeowner, it doesn't stop if you're a renter. It will get worse, and if buying a home is expensive now, be assured that your children will not be able to buy or rent in the coming decades. This is a problem that concerns the vast majority of people in the U.S. painted as an issue that only influences minorities because we were the ones who were hit first. Why do you think those in minority groups are always the first to become advocates for these issues? First it's us, but then it's you.

It should be illegal or something to sing “This Land Is Your Land” without the secret verses

You took one of the greatest hobo anthems ever written and turned it patriotic. That’s basically a war crime.

Secret verses??!??

Holy shit.

American folk singer Woody Guthrie, who wrote other songs such as Tear The Fascists Down, All You Fascists Bound To Lose, Miss Pavlichenko, and like 6 tributes to Sacco and Vanzetti, was what you might call a “communist”

They’re going to try and kill him.

…and, at the time of his death, he was one of the most hated people in the USA.

The FBI sent him a letter trying to convince him to commit suicide. Don’t let this revisionist bullshit slide. The things they say now about protests, kneeling, etc, are the same things they said about the sit-ins and marches.

His own kids are telling yall not to fall for the bullshit

idk why old navy is literally always ahead of the game in terms of uncanny valley + retail horror

Free them

YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE FREED THEM

huh so much wlw content seems centered around this idea of looking perfect and quaint and it feels so wrong to me. i hate seeing art of two skinny girls w full faces of makeup barely kissing in a pastel color palette. when i thought i was straight so much of my time was consumed by thinking “do i look good enough for others?” “am i digestible?” and that exact concept is.. the same shit just flipped on it’s head. i don’t love girls cause i think they’re ~stars twinkling in the evening~ i like them because they’re funny and loud and strong and real human beings and so much more than your aesthetic

Also i think when yr questioning your wlw attraction it’s really easy to look at these very watered down, un-inclusive wlw content and not feel anything…and then think that you aren’t wlw when really it’s just because most wlw content has such a narrow view of womanhood…

I love all the possible implications from: “Mama is trans and wasn’t out back then”, “Mama successfully committed feminist voter fraud”, to “Mama just fucking voted and the people running her local ballot box knew what was fucking good for them and stayed out of her way”. 

This might be the most american thing I've ever read.

I’m not American, I’m catholic

Fucking ignorant American

Please learn the difference between Americans and Catholics before you comment, also wolves aren’t blue your profile is all wrong
