Actually, requiring Doctor’s notes to excuse sick days is inherently classist in a country without universal healthcare, and it is wild how little that is discussed.
There is a very specific female fatigue that comes from knowing exactly what is happening, explaining exactly what is happening, being told you are overreacting, and then watching exactly what is happening happen with excellent punctuality.
RIP Oliver Tree. I don't know how to process this, I'm glad I got to spend a lot of time with him last month but this shit sucks. Life is fragile and unfair
@HunterBiden Would love for you to share more of your art. I saw a little on the interview you did with Channel 5 and am super interested in seeing more of your work. Everything looks so groovy and colorful.
Please, read books. Not just captions, or carousel posts, or what made it to the top of your feed. Read books. Long ones. Complex ones. You cannot build a mind with weight on the back of social media ephemerals. Intellectual depth demands patience.
when Bourdain said free Palestine and called out the racist vilification of Palestinians by the media class that paved the way for the genocide: "The world has visited many terrible things on the Palestinian people, none more shameful than robbing them of their basic humanity."
a lot of adults don't better themselves??? and have no intention of growth or healing??? they’re just living their lives with horrible communication skills, lack of emotional intelligence, selfishness, and hurt feelings FOREVER?????
We’ve spent decades hearing that “books are an escape from real life,” and now millions are illiterate, unmoored & emotionally adrift. “We do not escape into philosophy, psychology, and art,” said Anaïs Nin. “We go there to restore our shattered selves into whole ones.”
Reading fiction is not just a pleasant pastime. It teaches us empathy. It puts us in the shoes of those who are different from us. It’s a form of resistance against the forces of ignorance and bigotry and lack of imagination that tear our world apart.
I think the hardest part of the political climate right now is realizing how many people around me are actually evil. Not stupid. Not misinformed. Just blatantly enjoying and relishing in the suffering of other human beings.
@andieiamwhoiam@OfTheBraveUSA Yeah, because a car going 1 mph is impossible to move out of the way of! Terrifying! Devastating! EGREEEEEGIOUS!
😂 you fucking people should just stay inside if the outside world is this scary for you.
