im saving this url for the twenty-sixth incarnation of the playstation. and then sony will pay me millions for this. you will see

he's right and he should say it

the whole 'nobody would miss me if i were gone' line of reasoning is so completely and mindblowingly false, it's almost laughable if you take a couple steps back. there's a lady at work who has been there for maybe two or three weeks and has only talked to me a handful of times, ask where the necklace i usually wear went. another person asked where i was cause i wasn't scheduled for about a week. i regularly think of friends who have deactivated their accounts or who i've lost contact with and what id tell them. i still think about people i haven't talked to for years even though i didn't know them well. people still think about you even if you're a passing specter on the street. and that's not even holding a candle to how much the people who are personally involved in your life care. people do notice and care. all the time. it might be hard to see it or remember it but people do care. ily.

sex is cool, but have you ever been kissed so deep you forget what year it is?

Did you know Brazil has set chairs for black people to study in college or get jobs in the public sphere? Did you know Brazil have the biggest universal healthcare system in the world? Did you know we have solid labor laws in place? Did you know gay marriage has been legalized since 2009, 5 years before it was legalized in USA? Did you know we have social name in place since 2016 so trans people can be called by their chosen names before they change it legally? Did you know we have free universities and colleges that are considered the best ones in the country? Of course not because all you guys think when you think about Brazil is gangs, drug smuggling and getting robbed because y'all think that all of Latino america is some kind of criminal paradise

Brazil went through a dictatorship backed by USA from 64 to 85. A lot of our problems nowadays happened because of that, and USAmericans have the gall to think were less civlized than then from a lack of our own instead of being systematically killed, oppressed and taken advantage of

remember when the tumblr ceo stalked a random trans woman offsite and posted about her on his blog and nothing of consequence for him ever happened of that. and tumblr admitting that they were banning trans women unfairly and then they kept doing that. like transfems you follow will suddenly disappear one day and sometimes the ones with bigger followings will reappear and get spread but you still will have mutuals who you just haven't seen for years because they were deleted without warning. and like shit just continues as if that didn't happen and it isn't still happening

idk how many people remember in 2023 when I randomly got this blog deleted but it was completely devastating for me, and I am extremely lucky in that I got it reinstated after I @'d tumblr support about the issue on twitter. I can't imagine that I would have been that lucky if I had been a trans woman in that same situation, which makes me furious at the injustice of it all. like these accounts aren't just stupid internet things, they're logs of your relationships and interests that often cover over a decade of someone's life, it is extremely upsetting to one day see that those accounts are gone with no reason or explanation

Like legit a lot of the time the real reason for them not knowing or realizing shit is not "our shitty educational system never taught us this" but "I've never had to think about any place outside the U.S. as a real place in my entire life" because like. These are not things that anyone would need to be explicitly taught if they took two seconds to think about anywhere else in the world with the same level of logic and depth they think about the U.S.

Also not to get all third-worldist sudaca on main again but the whole not being aware of this fact plays really insidiously into how blind global northerners but particularly americans tend to be to the imperialism they benefit from. Like... the massively economically advantageous prospect of taking control of a place that can grow crops for you while it's winter in your homeland (either because it experiences little to no seasonal variation like the tropics, or because it has the opposite season like temperate zones in the southern hemisphere) was a factor driving the colonization of the tropics and the southern hemisphere at the hands of global north powers.

but time makes you bolder even children get older and i'm getting older too. btw
