Reblogging again because that last addition is IMPORTANT

But when the world needed him most, he pulled the wrong lever...

Why do they even have that lever?

Well done everyone, 10/10 post

Season 1 Roy was going through it in episode 3 when Ted went wow this is a real problem, better look the other way and let it bubble until Roy gives in and deals with it for us becomes the leader he could be

Found this graphic and i really appreciate having options for activism that aren't going to protests.

The mom of a friend says about this, "start where you are, and do what you can." I think that's very wise.

I'd like to add WRITE POSTCARDS as an introvert-friendly activity! Check out Postcards for Democracy and Postcards to Voters.

A recent post breached containment so I think it's time for some rent lowering:

Trans children should have the right to undergo the correct puberty at the same time as their peers.

Puberty blockers were only ever a compromise and should not be seen as the end goal of trans advocacy.

still thinking about "decolonising" missionary work.

the way you decolonise missionary work is by not doing missionary work

the way you decolonise missionaries is like this:

"but it's part of my religion to evangelise"

"but we need to go to Ethiopia (one of the oldest christian countries in the world) to make them the right kind of christian!"

🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆

jaguars

"but..."

🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆 jaguars

"but missionaries bring schools and hospitals to poor countries" that's called humanitarian aid and trying to use humanitarian aid to get religious converts is actually SUPER fucked! hope this helps 🐆🐆🐆

That is the extent to which American media leeches into everything

Yes, it is weird

And like. Imagine you just KNEW all this stuff. Passively, without looking it up, just from going about your life listening to music and watching TV and talking to strangers and scrolling through your blog

To be as clear as possible: I’m not telling anyone to shut up, or calling anyone annoying, or making any kind of statement at all really

I’m just saying. It feels super weird

god forbid 5000 year old girls do anything

holy shit bronze age pro sheep bone gamer girl

this is hilarious but also im gonna cry like this teenage gamer died and they buried her with her high score. no one took back the pot or divided it up because no one would play against her again. her family and friends buried her with her wins. im crying

What the media won't show

It’s actually pretty nuts how there is no real mass media coverage of the protests that are happening all over the US. It demonstrates fairly conclusively that the unlawful activities at the White House aren’t just limited to Trump. There’s a lot of wealthy people in powerful positions in the US and around the world helping to support the dismantling of the US federal government.
