rant, about prejudices
There are two big problems in combating racism;
first, BEING a racist is commitment, but ACTING racist is horrifyingly easy. There's a lot I don't know, might assume about the world, especially if I'm told things from a biased source, and I might just go with it and hurt people pretty unintentionally.
Okay, fine, so we talk, I'm shocked and back down right? We're gonna leave aside "yeah, but J Random Minority shouldn't have to drop everything/risk argument" for the moment.
But second, unfortunately racism gets BUILT into a structure of discussion, such that it's a lot more appealing to double down and continue running with everything you'd been thinking. We as a society aren't good at someone being wrong and that's okay.
uuuugh
I don't want to go to my parents place I don't it's in some ways basically another workday
perhaps listening to the "Klingon Battle" from STI will be motivational #qapla
there are currently out in the world, HOW many instances of what's essentially political theater which affects real, living people?
It's like bullies back in high school, if they didn't go after the weird f*ggots and nerds... they'd still be popular and we'd still be weird f*ggots and nerds.
2023 was just a miserable year in general if you wanted to stay vaguely optimistic about humans. I guess it's good prep for 2024.

Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
