can’t believe i fucking have to say this but: allies don’t offer comfort, aid, & cover to those committing harm. firefighters in league with arsonists aren’t practicing harm reduction; they’re enablers.

It is wild to me that we have been socialized to be like, "yeah you're bleeding vaginally and it's causing cascading issues throughout your body but there is literally no excuse for you to NOT come into the office, and frankly it's weird that you asked"

Billionaires aren’t free. We all pay for them with our labor, our lack of healthcare, our student debt, our sky high rents, our crumbling infrastructure and our boiling world
