self proclaimed leftists with entire graduate degrees on twitter not understanding that tourism in places like latin america and the caribbean is a form of neocolonialism even in places where the national economy is dependent on it. just because the government is making money off of ur lil excursions and hotel stays doesn’t mean regular citizens are, especially in your fave ‘tropical getaway spots’. the fact that sandals wanted to build an entire resort in tobago where my family lives might sound great for the economy or whatever until you realize that they would’ve closed off several acres of land and made it inaccessible to non-tourists which is fucking insane thing to even propose on such a small island. like i’m sorry but do you really think my family is grateful when you crackers come to visit during the winter?? do you really think your presence adds value to their lives?? when the govt invests money in ports but not paving the fucking roads anywhere that’s not downtown/vacation home territory?? you white losers need to put down ur marx for like half a sec and pick up a small place by jamaica kincaid. like lol if you wanna be a tourist be a tourist but don’t fucking act like anyone who refers to it as a contemporary form of colonialism is doing too much. ESPECIALLY when this sentiment is legit coming directly from the people living in the getaways you love to visit. i genuinely don’t understand how y’all can grasp the “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism” shit but can’t understand this.
nothing that pisses me off more than grammarly on google docs trying to “remove redundancy” anytime the word “own” is on a page. fuck off robot i am human and therefore a poet so each word i type is intentional. freak…
I am reasonably fun to hang out with and my company is enjoyed by well over 10 people worldwide
If you have bodily autonomy, then there is always a chance that you will do something to your body that you will regret. This is not an argument for taking that autonomy away.
i was worried there might be something wrong with me cuz when i walk around barefoot at home i exclusively do it tip-toeing but webmd said im just a gazellepilled baddie with a soul full of starlight

im basically normal if you really dont think about it
“Just cause I want to fucking die doesn’t mean you should kill me and also everyone else and just cause I hate my life and it’s fucking miserable doesn’t mean you get to make it, or anyone else’s life, more so... lol.”
What I love most about Gen Z is how unbothered but simultaneously extremely bothered we are in general
“I’ll probably die in my 20s and even that is an overestimation of my lifespan. I don’t even give a fuck I just want it to be over soon”
“I stg that if you old dumbfucks do not fix the damage you did to the earth I will put hot sauce in your contact lens solution. Also just vaccinate your kid Jillian they’re probably not gonna end up autistic, you absolute idiot”
