good. let’s maybe move towards compassion and away from publicly humiliating and degrading people for our own enjoyment, eh?  i mean unless you enjoy our trash society.

“BAN MEN” is a short term tactic not a long term strategy

WELL SAID. little changes make big changes later on.

Before Al Franken was an entertainer he graduated cum laude from Harvard with a degree in political science. He may not have run for office before, but he was no stranger to politics, and certainly not lacking in knowledge.

i think this guy *acted* like an asshole, like we’ve all acted as assholes at points in our lives. people are far too dynamic to be wholly defined by one thing they said or one thing they did, no matter how satisfying it is or how justified we feel.

pretty much what i was thinking...

we should also respect the decisions of women who choose to stare down this nastiness with compassion. There’s nothing wrong with what she did.

no it absofuckingLUTELY does not. There are men calling female celebrities nasty names right now. thousands a day if not more. FOR YEARS it’s been happening. this is a one-off and any claim that it sets that precident is completely illogical.

except i’m sure that the number of times people call her nasty names on Twitter VASTLY outnumbers the people she’s reached out to like this. And he didn’t do anything, SHE did. he’s not getting rewarded, she CHOSE to look past the nastiness and dig deeper, discovered someone profoundly in pain, and decided to help.

yes, yes this. ❤️💜❤️💜

this, jeesus. SS does something selfless and people start bitching about being expected to do the same. What???

this. though I am baffled that so many people are immediately talking about how they just don’t have the energy for that, or that it will make assholes feel entitled, or that people who call you names don’t “deserve” help. no one has asked anyone to do anything, and as for entitlement and who deserves what, why? why…

I am really tired of people automatically jumping to “it’s not an excuse!” when no one has said it was. It certainly is a factor tho, as anyone living in chronic pain can tell you.

no one is asking you to...

i have patience so you don’t have to! :3

heeee

I work at a large not-for-profit museum in my city. visitors have to pay $18 to get in, and there are a number of special exhibits that cost $12 each. it’s prohibitive for families who aren’t rich and it makes me sick. yet the president makes over a million dollars a year. at a non-profit institution. my guess is that…

you use a lot of words to say very little. also, you’re projecting.
