every day it just concerns me how little compassion people have. no compassion for those living in the global south. no compassion for immigrants. no compassion for disabled ppl. no compassion for addicts. no compassion for prisoners. no compassion for children. like holy shit ...

My little sister is dead—this is what you will hear if you do not help save her today, and I write these words to stop that headline becoming our reality tonight, forever alone.

If my little sister survives tonight, it will be because someone chose compassion over scrolling. Low funds, limited time, fragile life. Please donate and share now—every small gift could become her tomorrow and save her.

please continue to help zeina's family by donating and/or sharing this post! ❤️

MY EYES ARE SWOLLEN FROM CRYING. I CAN’T SAVE MY SISTER. IGNORING THIS COULD COST HER LIFE.

I do get really really angry when I hear the parents of disabled children say “This is not how I wanted my life to turn out.” or “I didn’t sign up for this.” because yes, yes you did. You took the risk of having a disabled child when you had a child. Your child isn’t disabled to spite you and ruin your dreams of a perfect family. You are the one who brought them into this world. This might sound anti-natalist and shitty of me but so many parents expect their children to be inherently grateful to them for the gift of life and all the good experiences that come along with it and then refuse to acknowledge that they brought a child into this world to live, suffer, die and pay taxes. I get that you as a parent and a caregiver are suffering, that our medical system is severely fucked, that there is an incredible lack of support for disabled people. Your child will be dealing with that for the rest of their life, you opened this chapter of your life but your child will be dependent on highly flawed systems and possibly abusive caregivers for their entire life. These parents (especially in the autism community) turn all of their rage and frustration and hurt outwards and often towards their disabled child instead of learning healthier ways to cope or even taking internal accountability for the fact they did, in fact, bring this child into this situation.

Times like these I remember that Malcolm X quote about healing and how it requires acknowledging the knife is there. Things like "this isn't who we are" and "this is un-American" and "what are we? [insert another country]??" reveal a deep seated denial of American history and state-sponsored domestic terror that I'm just not gonna entertain anymore from leftists over the age of twenty.

i wish i could imprint on people's brains that the US was never a democracy in the first place. you don't have a fair and equal society or government when you've built it on genocide and slavery but what do i know i guess. no one ever cares until the rights of white people are infringed upon, the rest of us that were pillaged and tormented and killed can just go fuck ourselves i guess

“Kill all fascists!!” Until a fascist gets killed yall some poseurs fr

A lot of booktook smut is easy to make fun of but generally I think women jerking off is a good and righteous thing. Yet another example of things that are embarrassing also being cool. Lotta complex thoughts to think out there. Be safe. I love you.

“Do it scared” “do it badly” it’s time to drop the guide for do it alone

Doing it scared and doing it badly is one thing, but no one seems to talk about doing it alone. When you feel so isolated from your friends and your family but you have shit to do and you have to get it done no matter what. When your support system really is only you. For any myriad of reasons. We do not talk enough about doing it alone.

Doing it alone the next 1,282 days

I do feel like what should have happened is that AI would spark conversations about water use and power use in the general tech/internet sphere, and how so much of the labor needed to keep it running is exploitative of people in the Global South. However, it feels like what has happened instead is a bunch of people have convinced themselves the problem isn't the industry or anything, but actually it's because AI has evil magic powers that make it the only problem. Once we defeat AI, everything will be okay again :)
