i hold extremist political views such as "people should have their basic needs met" and "war crimes are bad" and "we should not accelerate the apocalypse for the profits of a few oil companies"
I’ll never forget my New Testament professor telling me that sometimes God’s wrath looks like just letting people have the reality they demanded. The reality they voted for.
I think it’s weird y’all think you can vote for someone to be a second class citizen AND demand they be nice & in community with you.
My favorite thing about freedom is I have the freedom to choose who I engage in my life at nearly all times.
I don’t have to do what you want
As Democracy faces its biggest threat since Hitler institutions and "leaders" are cowering. Democracy doesn't die in darkness it dies when those with a responsibility to protect it are silent. Racism, sexism, and patriarchy run strong in America.
These people are giving the game away. They want to create a world in which no one has the desire to read, create or think, and eventually no one has the capacity to. Reading, critical thinking, the humanities, are never wastes of time; they are what make us free.
The "get her pregnant to humble her" thing isn't something feminist made up. It is real. Men and society weaponise your ability to reproduce. It is political. It is about power. And I hope young women learn faster.
When we said these men use pregnancy as a weapon and that black female stars need to stop having babies with these men as soon as their career takes off, they said we hate love and happiness.
Just a reminder for women, specially black women: to continue to prioritize & center each other & sisterhood. The reality is, bcuz we’re in a patriarchy, ALL MEN will naturally be misogynistic. They would have to commit to UNLEARNING. MOST aren’t willing to.
I absolutely love when people are just genuinely good people. When their presence feels like a breath of fresh air. The way they uplift the space around them with their love. Just pure and purposeful intentions. These people are the biggest blessings.
