Me taking my hypothetical children to pride:
See that man in the dog mask? He's playing a game of make believe with his friends to have fun, just like we do! See how his tail is wagging?
See that man with a gun? He's part of a violent institution that serves the ruling elite and upholds white supremacy. Fifty years ago he would have been raiding all these bars and arresting us all. He could shoot you in the face right now and probably not even lose his job. If he tries to talk to you, remember to say, "I won't speak with you unless I have an attorney present."
Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights.
If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not "inalienable" and they're not "rights."
We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins.
And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with.
was feeling especially transmasculine so i made a werecat oc/sona. his name is jasper đź«¶
no but for real America being like “we can’t teach our children the full truth of the anti-indigenous genocide this country was founded on or truly get into the nature of the trans-Atlantic slave trade because it’ll be too upsetting” and then showing us footage of people jumping from the towers on 9/11 and that fucking video of JFK having his cranium shot off. simple sex ed is too much for the average 7th grader to fathom but let’s show them real footage of Jackie Kennedy reaching to grab a part of her husband’s skull. fucked up evil ass country.
finally got around to designing a self sona :3
The Pope, desperate to avoid ever interacting with JD Vance again, went to the one place the Vice President couldn't follow: heaven.
