Again, this is where I'm at. Idk what else to say or do beyond I'm in feedback mode and ready to move to the next step but I actually can not do that without some acknowledgement that I exist and am not some digital ghost haunting my own social media
"Many, maybe most legal systems are based on this ideal, this belief in human rights. But human rights are just like heaven, and like God--it's just a fictional story that we've invented and spread around.
It may be a very nice story. It may be a very attractive story. We want to believe it, but it's just a story. It's not reality. It's not a biological reality. Just as jellyfish and woodpeckers and ostriches have no rights, homo sapiens have no rights also."
Take a human, cut him open, look inside. You find the blood and you find the heart and lungs and kidneys but you don't find there any rights. The only place you find rights is in fictional stories humans have invented and spread around.
And the same thing is also true in the political field. States and nations are also, like human rights, and like God, and like heaven, they too are just stories. A mountain is a reality. You can see it. You can touch it. You can even smell it. But Israel, or the United States, they are just stories. Very powerful stories. Stories we might want to believe very much.
But still they are just stories. You can't really see the United States. You cannot touch it. You cannot smell it."
-- Yuval Noah Harari, Klaus Schwab's philosopher and prime intellectual at the World Economic Forum.
@whyiskev What if we tried not comparing black women, and women in general, to one another and making them compete, when they aren't even doing the same things
why is it always 'elves can't be black'
and not 'the climate and terrain would not support this crop they're basing the economy on. the irrigation system is incorrect. the time period this is based on did not have zippers yet.'
@thatonequeen Let's just keep voting. All those votes we've done so far have done so much.
Women have total autonomy over their bodies.
Transfolk are allowed to just be themselves.
And POCs dont have to worry about being murdered and other stuff like this anymore.
All.
Thanks.

A 62-year-old grandfather and church deacon named #JohnnyHollman lost his life in Atlanta police custody after a minor traffic accident.
He declined to sign a ticket, believing he wasn't at fault, and tragically, he was tased to death by the officer seconds later. #gapol #Sayhisname #Atlanta
