The sudden, random realization that increasing the military budget also makes it more likely for local police forces to get surplus equipment, further deepening their militarization.
Police departments are being federally subsidized with taxpayer money; we pay for our own abuse

This sort of purity politics is literally causing a chilling effect on queer sexual expression because everyone is scared of being ~problematic~ and ~called out~ for expressing their sexual desires. Yes, including queers. Do you know how many queers are scared of writing erotica?
First thought: Whoa, cool.
Second thought: That poor tree! D: D:

While I am going to be open for art as much as possible, I am also limiting myself so I don't cause more harm or pain.
I do have a GoFundMe that explains my vision loss, my entire situation, what I'm raising money for, and, well, everything, I guess!

And it's depressing to see that minorities who try to do things within the law can be told they're criminals just because the dominant culture decides they don't like them.
I mean, same as it ever was, I guess.
I know that the sect went off and did some unspeakably awful shit (like, HOLY SHIT treating the homeless as a voting bloc and then sedating them without their knowledge????) but to me every escalation is the result of being denied equal access to rights under the law.
I'm two years late, but finally catching up on Wild Wild Country. I'm only halfway through, but man it's clear that even back in the 80s people had the full expectation for the law to uphold white Christian supremacy and not be applied equally.

I think we all agree that he and a LOT of other folks have abused their power to cause death, suffering and a degradation of our culture. But what do we do in response to that? What kind of culture do we want to build in its place?
It's time to think about that.
As a thought exercise, I've tried to imagine what appropriate justice would be for true criminals if I could rebuild from the ground up.
Like, what should happen to Mitch McConnell for his crimes against the American people? For how long? Revenge or rehabilitation?
I apologize in advance to @ThePenDrake@twitter.com, but there is no way I'm not getting a game about a bear running a bed and breakfast <3 <3 <3

This is a thing that made black folk need a guidebook to determine where it was safe to lay their heads. Unexamined awe does nothing positive for anyone reading.
It can be dehumanizing for us.

Not really talked about but if you're still functioning and making deadlines or finishing things despite whatever level depression/anxiety you have - not enough people are giving you credit. You're doing amazing sweetie.
