Politicians called the plague over, so ppl threw away their masks altho the virus was literally circulating at record highs. then everyone kept getting cooked 2-10 times a year destroying their own health because wearing a piece of cloth was too socially embarrassing for them.
i don’t expect this to get attention but here’s my shitty recording of me playing sevenfour on piano the other day 🥹 in love with how human this piece is !!
don’t know exactly how to phrase it but i think dolly is so beloved because she so humanly and beautifully embodies the idea that that which we do unto the least of us is that which we do unto ourselves and that self-betterment is only achieved collectively, not individually
Going to use this to point people towards the BDS boycotts. I hardly see anyone talking about them anymore, which is shameful because they're by far the easiest way to materially resist genocide and less than the bare minimum.

my favorite fact about dolly parton was that the only way you could contact her was to email her manager who would then fax her to let her know you wanted to talk and she then would call you, no one had her phone number
pillow princess discourse always assumes receiving is passive. being fully present, vocal, responsive, letting someone see you in such a vulnerable state, that's all participation. There is such a beautiful intimacy between pillow princesses and stone tops that can’t be matched
rip dolly parton. the media is gonna shove "she was undergoing kidney stone treatment " under your nose so you don't suspect the immune and digestive systems she herself reported happening for the past 3y and how those symptoms are notoriously covid related.
If we had gone back to pre-Covid normals w/the vax & relax strategy that would’ve been frustrating but not sanity shredding, but in fact culturally vax & relax gave everyone permission to forget everything they knew about germ theory. It’s fine, they’re only cancer patients.
“You don’t owe anyone anything” I do. I owe my friends and partners my time and resources to help them. I owe them what I can physically and emotionally afford to offer them. Because I choose to love them and healthy love requires healthy investment
i’ve been teaching my little one about the way people treat and see children in the world and giving them resources to learn about child abuse so they can understand why some adults are unkind to them simply for being a child. teach your children abuse is not okay.
its such a unique moment when you provide someone basic care and respect and suddenly you notice
"oh they REALLY need that"
"you let the guard down for me, I will treasure and respect that, I will strive my best to be a truly safe space you can expect relaxation and comfort from"
anyway, most adults don’t have tangible social or societal power so they abuse children to have power. you don’t need to abuse children to teach them boundaries, you don’t need to abuse children at all for any reason.
My 8 yo asked if Hitler had a funeral after he killed himself and when I said no (I checked google), he said bad people should have a funeral too except instead of people saying good things about them everyone should come and say mean and terrible things about them.
People need to know the difference between Dogwhistles and Group Specific Language.
Words like “Goyslop” are not dogwhistles they are just nazi terms.
Things like “Totally Joyful Day” are Dogwhistles.
Dogwhistles are contextual and made the look innocent, Group Terms Aren’t.
It's actually very important for people to know that not all disabled people want to be cured or to have the standard body type. We have a range of experiences and feelings about our disabilities. What is in all of our interests is to end ableism.
@Undue_Risk Okay but what about having connections with communities that allow you to get shit for free so you don’t need money in the first place? Oh wait people don’t like free stuff because it comes in red(scare)
“If cops are abolished who are you gonna call when someone’s trying to break in”
Well I just did that last night and they talked to the guy and let him go and they never came back to update me and he kept trying to open my door all night into the morn. Fuck these useless pigs
