Nothing But the Rain

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry

"it's just anxiety" let's ignore the blatant dismissal of my chronic illness and address the fact that even if it's "just" anxiety, if my anxiety is bad enough for me to be getting physical symptoms severe enough to miss GCSE exams over, then maybe you need to refer me to a fucking therapist.

if you’re 26 and older, reblog.

I remember when I was 26. The mastodon hunts were the highlight of my day, and we cheered whenever we made fire...

I think leftists need to refer to the United States as a slave state more often. It has one of the highest prison populations per capita of any nation, slavery is legal as punishment for a crime, and Black people are disproportionately imprisoned and given longer sentences. The prison industrial complex is modern-day slavery

i think one of the worst things the left wing internet ever did was push the idea that oppression is basically a virtue, and being oppressed is a sign of your morality. it has made it like…impossible for some of you to hold the idea that most people are privileged in some ways and oppressed in others. AND a lot of you seem to have it in your mind that terrible people cannot be oppressed, and that oppressed people cannot do terrible things, which is a dangerous rhetoric to hold imo.

“don’t take it personally” how would you like me to take it then? professionally? romantically? academically?

You guys ever see a DNI that makes you break out into laughter and almost cry

I think it's insane that even in the most leftist and "progressive" spaces the idea of equating morality with looks is alive and present and no one fucking bats an eye at it. like racists and mysoginysts are always portrayed as fat and hairy and generally unkept, as a contrast to the morally good and attractive leftists of course; people will have no problem being genuinely fucking awful about someone's appearance if they're deemed to be a "bad person". and the worst part is you point all of this out and people act like you're reading too much into things like no dude you gotta start using your brain more
