It’s beautiful to think that even though our planet may be trapped in an inescapable void —
this void so happens to have little scruffy dogs, national parks, live music, art, nieces and nephews, Mexican food, Saturdays, Octobers, all my friends, and movies.
how lucky are we?
I basically like my life, but I also feel that living in the world right now - I mean, especially right now, but really all the time - requires a level of radical compartmentalization that gives me the constant low-level burning sensation of going insane. Anyone else feel this??
“Nazi” isn’t a slur. It’s a word that describes real people who earnestly believe in their ideas. Their ideas are disgusting and hateful, but of course they often do not realize it.
I keep running into racists who think that it’s not white supremacist to think that white people are inherently superior to other races. No…that’s the whole definition!! The fact that they believe it earnestly and don’t think it’s an idiotic, hateful belief doesn’t mean it’s not an idiotic, hateful belief.
Nazi isn’t a word that means “bad evil boogeyman” it means “someone who believes in their own racial superiority, extreme protectionist nativism, the purifying of society by eliminating undesirables, expansionism, active suppression of dissent, and total state power held in the hands of a very small group.”
Make sure the people you’re cheering for don’t believe these things because otherwise…
ethel cain on the election:
"if you voted for trump, i hope that peace never finds you. instead, i hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what you've done and who you are as a person."
