#Make Racists Scared Again 2026

Share if you want people to know they should be scared to be racist around you 👊🏾

oh you think your life is hard? try being a gay rat living in france who hates your dad and just wants to cook

why did this post make me realize there are no female rats in this movie

remmy is trans and his father accepts that but not his passion for cooking

i have a suggestion

men will do literally anything other than engaging in pro-social community-oriented behavior and then get online and complain about how masculinity is vilified and men aren't allowed to be heroes anymore

"all men really want is to feel like the hero" okay then volunteer at a food bank. get narcan training. step in when a woman is being harassed on the street. help out an elderly neighbor with shopping or home repairs. learn how to safely de-escalate fights. help your friends move. join or start your workplace union. become a big brother or volunteer coach for kids' sports. clean up your local park or get involved in some local conservation campaign. do your own damn dishes. notice what needs to be done and then do it. the world doesn't need heroes, it needs helpers. there are literally so many paths to finding a sense of self-respect and worth through pro-social behaviors that improve your immediate local community and help build your network of close personal connections. but these guys don't give a shit about actually contributing anything to the world. they just want to whine and fantasize.

their inherent lack of self-respect is belied not only by the fact that they can't imagine doing anything that contributes to building a better, more resilient society, but how they can't imagine that doing so might involve a lot of small acts and choices and not one big act of heroism that gets them on the news as Big Man Of The Year.

This made me smile. Maybe you need a smile today too.

thank you gif makers, editors, artists and fanfic writers for keeping fandoms alive, we <3 you

Grim Reaper holding a scythe must have been a much more potent symbol when scythes were in common, everyday use, when people had actually used them on crops, sharpened them, felt the grains falling by the thousands in a single swift sweep. The scythe still exists as a symbol, sure, but it's one that has little visceral meaning to the people that look at it.

#everyone's in the notes going 'modern grim reaper should drive a combine harvester!!!' but they are missing the point I think#a combine harvester is not a common everyday tool for anyone but a farmer#and farmers are a much smaller percentage of the population than they were back then#and a combine harvester is not a thing you hold in your hands#it's about the warm wood against the skin of your palm#it's about your arms flexing out in the sweeping arc of the harvest – the muscles working; the sun on your back#the soft shushing sound of the grain falling before the blade#the perfect sharpness of the steel – a sharpness you have yourself honed with your own whetstone#the smell of cut greenery rising up around you as you work#the way you can see each individual stalk fall but each one is irrelevant in the cluster of its fellows#..............actually the increased emotional distance of the combine harvester vs the scythe is a funny parallel to the increased distanc#which the average modern person has from agriculture and the source of their food#death bears a scythe because farming is THE foundation of society#it is what most of society spends its time doing#and all of society is deeply aware of how the harvest is going because even if they live in distant cities#when the harvest goes bad the cities starve#only the very wealthy can insulate themselves from such things and even they would be wiser not to#all of this changed a lot and very quickly in the last few centuries (tags via @aethersea)

do i start e?

yes, do it!

so scary....i have it in my room.. and the blockers...

If it’s going to make you happier, then do it scared. It’s a little fear now for a lot of gain down the line.

taylor swift would release a 30th special edition of the tortured poets department to block the vampire lestats spot on the billboard chart and within 24 hrs travis kelce would go missing

in 2026 let’s start actually noticing and taking seriously the true scale and impact of jkrs transmisogyny and how she’s been funneling decades of royalties and ip owner cash directly into anti trans lobbying thats been making the uk hell while gradually worsening conditions elsewhere through impacting the zeitgeist
