Links the Shifter

Firmly convinced the world would be a better place if we started treating sex the way we'd treat any other mundane preference in life, like what kind of chips a person likes to eat with their lunch.

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.

i love seeing best friends goofing around in public. i love seeing couples laughing together. i love seeing little kids walking hand in hand with their parents. i love seeing dogs running happily back to their owners. i love seeing closeness and positive relationships, and knowing all that love is out there

there's literally nothing more radical in 2026 than believing that humanity can become good news for each other and the only world we'll ever share.

we probably gotta stop rating things women do on a scale of empowering/not empowering at some point

I think it's actually essential to children's moral development to be exposed to short stories moderately beyond their reading level where a bunch of fucked up shit happens and then instead of offering a moral lesson or any sort of emotional or narrative resolution it just ends.

practicing self care less out of self love and more for the sheer logical reasoning of it’d be kinda stupid of me to expect myself to be able to function without proper maintenance

“oh i don’t deserve rest and relaxation, i haven’t done enough, i haven’t earned it” and my car’s breaks don’t deserve break fluid because they aren’t breaking well enough to earn it. that’s what you sound like!!!!!

we MUST bring back the concept of squicks because i need a nice, socially acceptable way to say "that trope or kink is yucky to me so i'd rather not see it" without people hearing "i think you're disgusting for liking that and it shouldn't be allowed" or "i am politically opposed to that" or "i have deep and profound personal trauma regarding that"

call them shills. i’m not kidding. I’m not influenced. They’re not influencers. Don’t let them influence you. call them what they are, which is fucking shills.
