white sociopathy and fragility is so deeply troubling bc even ‘progressive’ white ppl express it, it’s just so deeply ingrained in them and the concept of ‘whiteness’ that you can’t have one without the other. being called racist is scarier to them than actually being racist, and they’ll have full blown meltdowns when accused of racism bc they can see the social consequences of that accusation - people not wanting to associate with them, people speaking negatively about them, etc - and it terrifies them. dealing w the social ramifications of being racist scares them, but actual racism doesn’t bc it doesnt affect them. if they’re racist and no one notices, it doesn’t hurt them; if they’re racist and people notice, they ‘suffer’ (even though that ‘suffering’ would be justified, and what constitutes as ‘suffering’ to them re: accusations of racism doesn’t compare to racialized people actually, you know, experiencing racism.)
Whenever an ugly feeling arises in me, maybe resent, greed, insecurity, etc. I just have to laugh and think to myself, this is what being alive is and I don’t deny my capacity for ugliness, in fact I store my faith in it because that same awareness of my own ugliness is the place I go to when I am aware of my own beauty. I have all the time in the world to sort it out, that’s the thing with self trust. I don’t hide from others and I don’t hide from myself, where there is ugliness I observe it and I don’t turn away.

God, Palestinians can't have anything
I've often seen this person's posts pop up, he's known for the number of cats he feeds, even before this, hence the username. The other day, I remember seeing that pic of him and that tiny little puppy on the beach and being cheered up by it. It's just so sad... they literally can't have anything.
If anyone wants to help this man, he has links for both an evacuation gofundme and PayPal to help feed the cats:
