went to a juneteenth music festival this weekend and i think my favorite shirt seen so far is the one that said “free-ish”.

ACAB

this is an incredibly privileged viewpoint.  many people can’t “just move.”

interesting position, but how do we know turtle face would have *ever* allowed the senate to vote on an obama nominee?

fuuuuckkk.

sorry, got no better words for the logic train you just took me down.

you are not wrong. i unfortunately still see it in myself sometimes. for a while i thought it was about how the people who abused me the most in childhood were female, so i was playing the “is it trauma, or is it internalized misogyny?” game. until i came to the conclusion, why not both?

Nailed it.

i always thought it was when that weasel got caught in the hadron collider, that’s when everything started to get super cray cray.

you know what bugs the shit out of me? the security company that patrols my apartment complex has the punisher logo on all their uniforms. :( i gather that the original creator was none too happy about all this. from the wiki:

“Punisher co-creator Gerry Conway has decried the use of the Punisher symbol by law…

came here to say exactly this. how many people do english coppers shoot?

Here’s a hot take from an autistic woman.

Children that act out violently most likely learned that violence in the home. Someone’s been slapping her around. Unfortunately, it’s all too common for that to happen to kids on the spectrum when adults are attempting to “control” them.

This judge needs to be banned from the bench, full stop.  I know it’s not gonna happen though.  I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that a young white male can get away with murdering two people in this country, still.

Super brave of him. Men’s mental health, especially Black men’s mental health, has been outright ignored and also stigmatized in American society. The more we discuss and normalize the more others may feel safe to speak up and seek help, whatever little help there currently is.  It could help save lives.

It’s called compassion and empathy.  Do you feel anything when you read about historical atrocities?  Or even contemporary ones?

Of COURSE we should feel bad. I felt bad when I was 10 and my grandma took me to see The Color Purple and I left in tears and that was GOOD, because I sure as shit wasn’t learning about slavery in Catholic school.

I cancelled mine after being a subscriber for almost 20 years over this crap.

Yeah I don’t recall Carlin ever punching down.

“You want the right to make fun of people who have been historically marginalized, in society because it makes you feel better about yourself.”

Agreed.  I also believe that people who refused the vaccine should be de-prioritized when they show up to a hospital. 

Same.
