‘children should not be exposed to literature about bigotry, violence, etc because they’re Not Prepared For It’ is like one of the most privileged opinions you can possibly have. i hate to tell you this but a lot of children face bigotry and violence in their daily lives! for children of colour and children who are victims of abuse and children in poverty, these things are Actually Happening to them In Real Life! what you are advocating for when you say children should be shielded from these things in media is for the white children with stable loving nuclear families to be shielded from acknowledging the lived realities of their peers!

kinda miss when u used to drop your phone and all of its insides spilled out on the floor and then u had to get it back together again 4 times a day . i like simple things

concept: instead of “time traveller from the past is unimpressed by the present” it’s “time traveller from the past loves things we don’t like about modern society” like they think pollution is badass or something

medieval peasant upon hearing the number of species that go extinct every day: fuck yeah, damn those beafts to hell

There should totally be a movement called “Sleep in Public” where people defend their right to sleep on public property. Sleep in your cars. Sleep on benches. Sleep at the park. Just make it a mundane and regular part of life to see someone napping in the library. It would make it much harder to single out the homeless for harassment if everyone else is doing the same thing and much harder to argue that it’s a “threat to public safety” when it’s so clearly harmless.

no offense but….kindness and being polite is really underrated some of y’all are so unnecessarily mean and i dont understand why

create! create! even if it’s been a while. even if you don’t know what to write or draw or sing. connect with what once brought you joy and you will remember how. create in a new way, knit or dance or crochet. try spoken word or painting. poetry or pottery. the freedom in creating… it’s liberating

my favorite childhood memory is having energy

genuinely cannot stand when fully white people say "they're white 🙄" like YOU'RE WHITE it's not a distinction. it is not a reason to find someone annoying if both of you have a father who thinks that Hiroshima was necessary and a mother who fights the urge to be ruder to your friends of colour

also completely feeds into the "if you're not white you're interesting" narrative which is suuuuch a slippery slope to fetishization and the whole "poc are exotic" thing. you're not helping and you're not cool for this one chief. I would call it misguided but actually I know you're only doing this to feed into YOUR point and help YOU and make YOU look woke so it's not that it's just downright insufferable

It's really quite sinister how reactionaries will claim that people pointing out caricatures is evidence that they're the racist ones.

damn orphan_account on ao3 really has some hits
