Sometimes, I Get Really Insecure About My Lack Of Formal Education When Talking About Politics, But Then

Sometimes, i get really insecure about my lack of formal education when talking about politics, but then I remember some people have masters degrees and still voted for Donald Trump or Peter Dutton.

Empathy needs no books or lectures to be felt, I'm not saying education is unnecessary, its extremely necessary, but I'm sick of this "they didn't know any better" bullshit when it comes to fascism and oppression. The German people should have known better, and the American people should know a hell of a lot better after all that. I am not well educated, I dropped out of high school, and even before that, I struggled because of family violence and poverty, and I totally stopped trying at school in 7th grade because I was suicidal. There are many reasons peoples education gets disrupted, which often results in more poverty and oppression. But your lack of education justifies JACK SHIT.

I was 12 when I had a screaming match with my racist grandma over her defending Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd, when i was 16, I vandalised public property with activist slogans demanding justice for the Indigenous Australians being unfairly and disproportionately incarcerated and imprisoned by Australian law enforcement, I was 17, homeless, and addicted to meth when i went to my first pro-Palestine rally outside Melbourne Parliament. You do not need to be well-educated or in a good place to feel empathy for others. You don't need to be religious to love thy neighbour. You don't need ANYTHING to he a good person.

If you ever try and tell me to my face that you "didn't know any better" after supporting fascists, I will curbstomp you so hard you'll get an education through amnesia therapy and brain injury rehab.

Honestly, I'm really surprised the civil war hasn't started yet. Just waiting for it to begin

I Really Do Think He’s Gonna Declare Martial Law On Easter. Things Are Ramping Up.

Just saw flamingo for thw forst time and it was amazing. I fell a bit in love with both dancers and the entire preformance style

In total there was to dancers (a man and woman), three singers, and two guitarists. Not everyone was always on stage. And I missed the danvers when they vere backstage. It looked like this

Two flamingo danvers standing to thw left. In rhe middle are the three male singers standing with a guitarist sitting on both sides. All faces are covered for privacy

It was just amazing. The way I understood not a single word sung, but totally got what they were showinf. It show was improvosed whoch was lovely. The two dancers would sometimes be on different wavelenfrh (ofc still on the same beat) and then two seconds latee do the exacr same thing fuæly synceonized. My jaw was oon the floor. The preformers were having so much fun espessially the two dancers. They wouæd smile at each almost laughing with such a genuent joy.

And dont evem get me started on her dresses. Ooooh and that last one. It was blue and long and dragged bevind her. Red on the inside. He teased her and grapped the end at one point.

Did i mention it was amazing?

Very sorry, vert tired

Goodnight

Just got of the plane. I could not stop looking at what the guy next to me had between his legs. It was amazing. Sometimes his legs were blocking it so I couldn't see it, but I still tried to peek. Even got a picture:

A pug with a white hairs on the snout. The dog is on a plane in a dog bag, between two legs

Obviously a little old with the white hairs, but still a very good boy. Got through the entire flight without moving or even making a sound. I really wanted to pet him, but didn't because of my allergies :(
