why do so many freaks go right to “there should be exams or tests before you have kids” when the real solution is better social services, robust infant and child development education that is accessible both financially and schedule/distance accommodating, and resources throughout any stage of a child’s life. genuine question like did you think about any social development before going straight to eugenics

To all of our brave service members trapped on the USS Lincoln right now, from the bottom of my heart I would like to say LOL.

“Navy sailors are killing themselves because they’re trapped on a busted ass raggedy ship with no soap and bad food.” And not because they’re tools of American imperialism fighting a monstrously cruel nothingburger war? Okay.

It is crazy to see politicians and random public figures come out and be like “Yeah, destroying Iranian infrastructure and bombing children is whatever but you can’t treat our brave little soldiers like this!”

Soldiers and veterans are likely more a victim of the USA military industrial complex than you are.

Well yeah, I didn’t roll over and lick boots, waiting to be stepped on. Victims can be perpetrators, these two things can coexist. Military recruiters can prey on low-income areas and our government can send mass amounts of young people to go die for oil and then treat them like shit when they return broken. That doesn’t erase the fact these people signed up to be tools of American imperialism, that doesn’t erase the fact they’re killing people overseas simply for their own financial gain. They are in a situation they put themselves in and they are complaining about the negative consequences that being at war and killing people is having on their brains and bodies.

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

personally I'm annoyed by the socioeconomic conditions that made words like "unalive" necessary but simultaneously impressed by the linguistic adaptations young people have made to continue talking about important things while subject to those conditions and I think if you can't hold both of those thoughts in your head you might just be old man yelling at cloud

how i sound right now on indeed

Im always scared to call someone my friend because what if they dont consider me a friend and hate me because of that

i really thought the point of "being lgbt+ doesn't absolve you of racism as a white person" was that white people arent absolved of racism by being marginalized but it really seems like people think other marginalizations make it okay. no being disabled doesn't do it. no being poor doesnt do it. we need to fight against racism actively no matter what.

theres a lot of jobs i think would be cool to automate but the people being automated out of a job are given no alternatives because this is being done for the employers benefit not the employee. so we're in a weird situation where im lookin at jobs that i really dont think any person should be forced to endure and still having to go "well i guess id rather a human do it than a robot" which kind of sucks major ass actually. why am i on the side of employment. god damn it.

its fixed and the hair cut i MUCH better now
