I posted this on my old .social account but I am still "relating strongly to brian wilson's powerful depressed thot/lifestyle gemini/milkshake goth looks"

If you have a bit to spare and are looking for UK specific issues, this group is gathering clothes, food and other supplies for asylum seekers and fighting for improved housing. https://www.gofundme.com/f/no-evictions-emergency-fundraising?utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=m_pd+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link-tip

Anyways I am very relieved by the Supreme Court ruling that came out today further demonstrating the durability of the right to abortion, even as we have to constantly fight against the practical possibility of it being eroded

And the thing is these are not just philosophical or ethical statements, they are literally true. Nothing is better at wasting resources than how money defines capitalist relations. Police create crime. Borders create scarcity.

The thing that got me thinking in an abolitionist way was not fear or rhetoric of scarcity but the exact opposite... we do not need money to ensure everyone has the resources they need and then some, there are alternatives to prison and policing that make us ALL more safe rather than seeing safety as something constantly limited or threatened, people in an area enrich that area rather than countries needing to prevent "wrong" or "too many" people entering, etc

Especially now, when spontaneous civil unrest that doesn't follow their proscribed "revolutionary" guidelines seems to actually be making some gains and fostering more mutual aid in the world, this seems like such a self-centered position. They're going extra hard on the scary or negative rhetoric to diminish that and consolidate their audiences who they benefit from being whipped up into hopelessness and accepting inevitable mad max desert gang futures.

I just don't get how people like ostensibly "on the left" can glibly post things like "we will HAVE to do X Horrible Thing in the future to survive" before going back to like their office job or podcasting or whatever. What makes you more progressive than the race war guy who's building a bunker? What such a statement says to me is that the only thinking they've done is preparing themselves to do X Horrible Thing whenever they feel like they "need" to do it.

It is not biphobic to simply justify avoiding bi women with the two most common biphobic tropes. Therefore I have never seen biphobia happen 😇

I know I know people only still go on tumblr if they want to suffer but I'm still thinking about how yesterday I literally saw someone get an ask that was like "I have never seen any lesbian be biphobic, they just want a separate context with others who prioritize women and don't talk about dick all the time" like.... alright I'm heading out lmao

we watched the episode where picard realizes it is bad to exterminate an entire species by making them looked at a cursed image meme

I've had a very handy kanken bag for around 4 years now but the straps are faded and it has some uneven wear on parts of it that make it look a bit shabby. Otherwise it's a really functional and cute bag I enjoy using so I don't want to buy a new one. I want to give it a good deep clean and also waterproof wax it, but on top of that i'd like some advice for livening up the straps via dying them a different color or something else, and freshening up or covering the worn spots in a pretty way... fabric wizards please help

this really sums up my experience and why I'm so hesitant to go back to therapy. It was frustrating and exhausting!! only after similarly getting very upset or breaking down several sessions in a row did I get a reference for an ASD diagnosis, and by that point the typical allotment of sessions was up https://thetetrapodinsufferable.wordpress.com/2019/05/22/its-not-you-its-cbt-on-behaving-maladaptively/
