Just Know I Went To Middle School W/ A Kid Who Got Arrested For Stealing An Inflated Stay Puft Marshmallow

Tip:

When it comes to stuff like racism, sexism, homophobia, etc, I’ve found it’s usually way better to think to yourself ‘I don’t want to be’ than ‘I’m not’.

I.e. if someone goes ‘that thing you just did is ableist’, instead of going ‘I’m not ableist, I don’t hate disabled people!’ it’s usually a lot better to go ‘I don’t want to be ableist, I should rethink what I’m doing/saying/etc in light of that fact’. Because that shifts your thinking so rather than jumping straight into denial and attempts to defend your character, you’re instead more inclined to look at how your actions could be misrepresenting your intentions. Or whether you’ve overlooked something, been callous, or acted in ignorance.

As California is being ravaged by deadly fires, let’s remember that over a third of California’s firefighters are incarcerated.

They’re out there now risking their lives, making 1% or less of nonincarcerated firefighters’ salaries, and then they can’t even serve as firefighters when they get out because of their past convictions.

Prison labor is slavery.

“Omg look at this fucking shit, gluten free mascara, ahaha, people need to be fucking stopped.”

Yes, I’m sure the person with a wheat allergy wanting to avoid putting wheat containing things near their eyeballs is truly the reason society is failing.

GIVE TO THE BLACK BANJO RECLAMATION PROJECT

college au where everyone is afraid of geralt bc he looks scary and wears all black and doesn’t talk to anyone and doesn’t show up to class all the time and ppl think he’s like. definitely done something illegal, like killed someone. 

but when ppl do see him around campus, he’s always with jaskier, his very mismatched boyfriend

and ppl always comes up with theories about how he and jaskier, his sunshine lollipops and very musically and socially talented boyfriend got together

someone says jaskier’s loud mouth got him in trouble and geralt saved him, like some fairytale and it was love at first sight

another says jaskier’s the one who saved geralt bc they saw jaskier throw a bottle at a guy for making a snarky comment about his boyfriend and jaskier’s definitely the scary one i swear it guys

others say jaskier is some sort of rich boy and geralt’s his bodyguard bc his family wouldn’t let him go to college for music unless he’s got a babysitter

in reality they’re both huge nerds who met at a Renaissance faire when history major geralt said jaskier’s hat is tacky and his doublet shouldn’t be That unbuttoned, i can see your undershirt and jaskier was like “why are you looking at my unbuttoned doublet, my eyes are up here oh no ur hot”

It’s a minor pet peeve, but it is everywhere today so errrr…. please keep in mind that “Rest in Peace”/RIP literally comes from a latin phrase and is a very very deeply Christian expression.

When talking about the departed, Jews say “may their memory be a blessing.”

So please, when talking about a dead person who is Jewish, try to keep in mind that RIP is a Christian phrase.
