Grounding Techniques Don't Really Work For Me Especially In Public... "five Things I Can See" I See A

I go to school board & city council meetings regarding trans rights, and something I noticed is that almost every single transfem student who has gone up to defend their right to use the women's lockers & bathrooms has reported being sexually assaulted in school, often multiple times, by cis men & boys.

And yet, what is taken more seriously is the single cisgender girl who went up to speak about her discomfort with trans girls in the lockers & bathrooms. Not danger. Not harm. Not trauma. Discomfort.

The cisgender girl spoke about how she was not comfortable, wheras the transgender girls spoke of how they were not safe. I am somehow supposed to believe these are of equal severity? Eat a fucking brick.

Just a friendly reminder that reading is political and if you're saying it's not, but are reading books that centre on war/dystopia themes (Hunger Games, Shatter Me), you've missed the point <3333

like to charge, reblog to cast <3

do you ever think about dead versions of yourself that are fossilized in someone else's mind

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

The bat-eared fox enjoys munching on dung beetles, and dung beetles lay their eggs in the poop of ungulates like zebras and antelope. Using its oversized ears, this animal can even hear beetle larvae hatching in dung, which probably sounds a lot like a dinner bell to this wily critter. In fact, dung beetles and termites make up about 80 percent of this species’ diet, and a single bat-eared fox can eat up to 1.15 million termites each year!

Whenever I think of the McDonald's employee who snitched on Luigi Mangione I can't help but wonder how many people did identify him during the week or so he was on the run. Those who, going about their day, saw this dude wearing a beanie and a mask and thought "hey, wouldn't it be funny if he was that shooter guy". Then they caught a better look at his face and realize "damn he does kinda look like him".

I imagine them thinking about those $50.000. Perhaps they even felt tempted for a moment. Perhaps they thought about their own debt to the healthcare industry. Perhaps they thought about clearing their own or a loved ones loans.

Yet they did not. They decided that, wether this guy did or didn't shoot that CEO, what happened the other day in New York matters. It matters so, so much, either in the short or the long run. That it could be the first step towards something big. Maybe that something, just maybe, is change.

And then they kept their mouth shut and continued with their afternoon as if nothing ever happened.

To those people, I wish you nothing but the best. You did what you had to do. And that says a lot about you.

In short, I refuse to believe class consciousness is dead. But guess I'm a romantic like that.

im so tired of "percy gives will a shovel talk" "percy hates will" i personally think percy loves will and is so ecstatic that he makes nico happy. put that in your pipe and smoke it
