You gotta learn when to take a step back and say "this isn't actually about you, it's a reaction caused by something or someone in my past which you accidentally triggered" or you'll keep projecting whatever bullshit happened in your past onto new people who had nothing to do with the trauma in question.

and a lot of people say "well corruption doesn't only happen under capitalism" which is true. corrupt and abusive individuals don't disappear when capitalism is gone. there is no possible way to eliminate "bad people" from a society. what matters is how they can cause harm and for what reason. if a society is not structured around profiteering, for-profit corruption will not be beneficial. if victims of abuse can escape cruelty without the threat of homelessness, financial abuse will not be a useful method of control. it's less about changing people and more about changing the society they live in. you can't eliminate corruption and abuse, but you can decrease it by acknowledging its roots and creating alternatives. there is no achievable utopia, but there is an opportunity for a better life than we currently live.

you can be peeling a boiled egg and think to yourself wow. that was so simple. and then you peel another one and it’s like being in the throes of war. shell everywhere. egg mangled. tears in your eyes. that’s how god keeps you humble

whenever anyone here is like tumblr is actually so cool it's like ok girl 🤨 literally not true. yes i spend 36 hours here every day. that is how i know

happy PRIDE i’m here i’m queer and i believe the land should be given back to the proper indigenous stewards.

Non-Natives reblogging this are great and wonderful

You don't win D&D by pissing off the DM, you win D&D by having a good time with your friends. <3

Take my advice. Dont think people who want to see you improve are your friends. They'll just abandon you when you end up unable to improve as fast as they want you to. They expect you to just get over your trauma and mental health issues. Constructive criticism is one thing but once it gets like "it's okay I still like you despite this and that", get out. Only hang out with people who like you as you are

I hope you guys are also being kind to people you don't wanna fuck.

The moment the temperature dips below 70 everything changes completely. I can smell again. Colors look nice now. I don’t feel like sleeping all day. I know where nougat comes from.
