it IS a phase, mom

show me a permanent state of the self, mom

Impermanence does not mean insignificance, mom

The key to a happier life is being in a constant state of change and acceptance, mom

Movies not having subtitles is ableist. I don’t care if it’s an old movie, if you can put it on dvd you can add subtitles. The obvious reason, of course, is for the deaf and hard of hearing who absolutely still deserve to enjoy movies. That should be enough reason to add them, but it also helps neurodivergent people or anyone with auditory processing issues, or people who don’t speak the language or don’t speak it well, or even just people whose house is loud. There’s literally no reason not to make them an option and I honestly think they should be mandatory on every dvd release.

"how did you hear about this job?" it came to me in an extremely vivid and unsettling prophetic dream

"congratulations! you're hired" i know.

Reminder that it costs more daily to keep someone in prison than most prisoners have ever stolen and certainly much more than it'd cost to fix the poverty that drives almost all crime, it just exists to scare people out of hurting corporate profit and you foot the bill woth your taxes.

This is actually a really good way of explaining this

Everyone everywhere has always had a concept of “the last straw” or “death by a thousand cuts” or “the tipping point” and yet when people tried to coin the very reasonable term “microaggression” for how even “small” forms of discrimination build up and can ruin someone’s life, it got mocked and sneered at so hard that the term fizzled and died and now there’s no convenient way to explain what it’s like for someone to experience an insidiously slow burn of hostile or ignorant treatment without it summoning the 4chan meme brigade
