as i sit here in my car, i watch parents walk with their children back to their cars after taekwondo class. then i look back down to my phone, i see palestinian children, bloodied, bruised, and burnned. who decided that palestinian children dont deserve the chance to learn taekwondo? who decided american children get the right to live, while others are subjected to death? why do i see news of a palestinian little girl being snipped? why is it that i got to live a safe childhood? why does it seem like no one cares?

kinda sick of all those posts that are like "my ancestors were surviving starvation and the plague meanwhile i get nervous ordering food at restaurants". as if jauffrey the woodworker didn't fumble his conversation with the fine maiden running the fruit stand and then tripped on a pebble as he left in a hurry
I've been thinking a lot about queerness lately and I keep getting stuck on how deeply I want it to be normal. I want little girls to come home excitedly telling their parents about a pretty new girl in school that they have a crush on. I want young boys to have their first kiss with another boy and be able to tell their friends about it. I want them to be impressed and slap him on the back and say congrats. I want to bring home a woman to my family and have my father give her that whole fake threatening, "you better be good to my daughter" speech before offering her a handshake and a beer. I want people everywhere in the world to be able to hold hands in the street and not even think twice about it, not have to feel afraid, not have to feel like they're making a statement. I want so desperately for the world to catch up with something that so many of us already understand as normal. I don't want to be merely tolerated, and I wish pride wasn't necessary. I wish that having confidence in myself wasn't a revolutionary act.
RIDDLE: you can have a emo twink boyfirend but he will only ever call you his “stinkbug.” TAKE or KILL?
“I LOVE that game!” (watched a letsplay and commentary about it)
no you know what fuck him good omens belongs to terry pratchett and it belongs to us and we are not letting that piece of shit taint and ruin something so many of us love and hold dear
"because I stabbed myself in the chest" sir what if I followed you with cartoonish heart eyes
why is it that i am inherently gendered
things we need to address:
gen z men getting pulled into alt-right pipelines through andrew tate, joe rogan, elon musk, jordan peterson etc
the gullibility and stupidity of half the country voting against our collective best interests
the broad effect social media has on public and common good
lazy minds and lack of empathy
outside-country interference (trump and elon’s connections to russia and the amount of bots from other countries spreading misinformation)
the long-term effects of AI and rampant disinformation
