people who don’t watch sports are seriously missing out. You could all be so much angrier

they should make a my friend that doesn’t have to go through ten william horrors every single day

Like locking someone up against their will and drugging them into submission is not an alternative to someone harming themselves it's just other people causing them harm instead which is usually even more traumatizing than harm you are in control of

When someone says they love you "for who you are" or "because you're you" that's not a cop-out or a non-answer. You are being told in no uncertain terms that you are loved for something that's not gonna change overnight. You can stop being funny. You can lose your skills. You can cease to be beautiful in the ways you currently are. But you can't stop being you. And therefore you can't stop being loved.

Leftists will be like "acab fuck the police they use their position of power to abuse people" but will wholeheartedly bootlick doctors and support the psych industry even though they do the exact same thing

This.

Like I think it's really telling that our society idealizes the general concept of "a romantic partner" to a degree where the status and validation associated with getting someone to fill that role for you frequently ends up being prioritized above the individuality of the person you're dating. Like the concept of "having a partner" is by itself considered so valuable that it often ends up overshadowing who the person you supposedly love the most in the entire world actually is as an individual and that's scary to me

Also like the concept of loving the IDEA of your future partner more than anyone else is incredibly concerning to me. Like there's no shame in strongly wanting a specific type of relationship, but what do you mean you love the hypothetical idea of a romantic partner more than anyone or anything else which is actually a part of your life?? Are you okay?

I just feel like if you go about it this way you're gonna end up shoving a more or less random person into your idealized idea of "a partner" more so than you're gonna build a real connection with someone for the sake of them as an individual

can't believe the only options are 30 minutes early or 10 minutes late. if only there were some other way. but what can you do

UNPOPULAR OPINION: A lot of "mental health issues" disappear when bills are paid, rent is secure, and the fridge is full. Peace is expensive. And pretending money doesn't affect mental health is privilege.

school uniform codes extending to what colours you’re allowed to dye your hair, and what piercings you can have and stuff is so crazy. you HAVE to go to school and you’re not even allowed to have pink hair or pierce your nose about it????

“oh it’s to prepare you for the workplace” okay. i don’t think any workplace should be dictating what you can and can’t do with your body either and i think it’s strange to decide to teach children that their body is not their own

i have a suggestion

There is so much casual ableism towards people with intellectual-cognitive disabilities. I was listening to a podcast I listen to religiously (and is a very very leftist podcast) and they hit me with the "you'll understand this unless you are Three Years Old." And it was something I didn't understand. And this podcast (that I love!) does this quite frequently. The hosts would never purposely make fun of someone for their disability- but they say things like "no one is that stupid" or similar quite frequently. And as someone who is that stupid- it kinda fucking sucks.

out of all kinds of people, even among disabled people , we are among some of the most vulnerable largely because the idea of us existing in and participating in society like a person is completely unfathomable to almost EVERYONE . like u said , even people who are leftist strongly in every single other way .
