made me think of some of you <3

hate how they forced bugs bunny into anti-weed propaganda in the 90s, as if bugs bunny wouldn’t love smoking weed 

To be perfectly fair, bugs bunny would also love taking money for starring in anti-weed propaganda and then using said money to buy weed

bugs bunny is not real 

It's so weird to me when people are like 'but that will cost the government money!' So what? They're the government, they're supposed to be spending money. What, you want them to take your tax dollars and then do nothing with it? Lock it all up in a big government vault and just look at it? Why are you so scared of giving a third grader lunch or a homeless person a house.

Scrolled past this agakn and just can't get over how much I love it. We need to make things beautiful again and this is such a wonderful example. The beadwork on the wires of a utitarian object, contrasted with the grey concrete.

Even without words, we communicate through our eyes.

And some highlights from the notes:

Some of you guys have never burned a CD and it shows

Some of you guys don't even realise I don't mean setting a CD on fire

Somebody does not have to be in active danger to be oppressed.

I hate how people act like certain transgender people are "priveleged".

eg. A closeted trans woman is not "priveleged." It is not a privelege to be trapped living a life that isn't yours. To be unable to be yourself for fear of harassment or bodily harm. It is not a privelege to have to sacrifice your life to keep breathing. It is incredibly traumatic.

This isn't just mentally damaging in that way, though. Transphobia will still hurt people, even if they are "safe". When my coworkers talk shit about trans people around me, but don't know I'm trans, it's not like it doesn't affect me. It's a looming threat to stay hidden, or else.

The fact trans people immediately lose whatever "privelege"/social standing they may have in your eyes the moment their identity is known is not a fucking privelege. The fact that safety is immediately lost is not a privelege.

This is like saying the gays who force themselves into heterosexual relationships and have kids are "priveleged". They aren't priveleged, they have a boot on their throat forcing them to conform. Yea, society deems them as "more acceptable." But society also thinks the only way we are acceptable is if we force ourselves into nonexistence or are all massacred.

A world in which queers are unable to safely be themselves is not one where queers are privileged.

At the worst of times rights-wise we are systemically killed and threatened into the closet, to hide our true selves. To either die or conform. But now, people have decided those who are struggling in that same way, unable to be themselves, are now somehow the "most priveleged" of the bunch. And I find it despicable.

Killing yourself to survive because you're a minority is oppression, and if you cannot recognize that then you need to stop only caring about your own view of the world. That's great that the life YOU lived made it okay for you to somewhat be out, and experience the different experiences with oppression there, but there are still people who if outed would be killed and their experiences don't become magically less important because they are not your own.

"READ MY DNI" no. use your block button like an adult. i'm not scrolling through the many-paragraphs-long pinned posts of every blog i reblog something from. if you insist certain types of people aren't welcome in the notes of your posts then it's your responsibility to curate that. or choose a closed social media platform like facebook or instagram. or go and live in a barn away from humanity if you really don't like sharing the world with people who are different from you

I think that DNIs are a really clear example of the backwards understanding of boundaries that a lot of people have. Some people think it works like: "My boundary is that YOU can't do this thing I don't like"

When really it's more like: "My boundary is that if you do this thing that I've told you I don't like then I will remove myself from the situation"

The former does not work. The latter is more effective, it takes responsibility for yourself, and also it puts the power over your wellbeing into your hands and not in the hands of strangers who may or may not be malicious.
