You've gotta love Jews more than you hate Nazis.
You've gotta love trans folks more than you hate TERFs.
You've gotta love your unhoused neighbors more than you hate the billionaires.
You've gotta love immigrants more than you hate ICE.
You've gotta love queer kids more than you hate christian fundamentalists.
You've gotta love fat people more than you hate the diet industry.
You've gotta love disabled people more than you hate the insurance companies.
You've gotta love your fellow humans more than you hate the worst that humanity has to offer. You don't have to like every person you're fighting for, and you sure as hell don't have to give up your righteous anger, but hate is ultimately corrosive.
You've gotta love.
i really like the advice “write marginalized characters but don’t write about marginalization unless you experience it”
absolutely i think cis people should expand their horizons and write trans characters, but they shouldn’t write stories about being trans. likewise i think allistic / NT authors should write about autistic characters! but not stories about being autistic.
represent us. absolutely. but don’t tell our stories. let us do that.
happy glorious 25th of may
I STILL think it was a missed opportunity to have the sorcerers not have, like, gold blood. Or at least it turns/shimmers gold when a spell is cast. Like. Imagine. Merlins got a bloody nose and a hole in his gut, but instead of being red all the blood glistens like a god damn oil spill. That would've been sick, and also wouldve exacerbated Merlin's otherness/fear of being inhuman in the sexiest way possible. We were robbed
1. Just because you took 7 classes in high school doesn’t mean you can manage 7 classes in college. 2. Just because you woke up at 6am everyday in high school doesn’t mean you can wake up at 6am everyday in college. 3. Just because you got straight A’s in high school doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily get straight A’s in college (and that’s okay). 4. Just because your teachers in high school said they were preparing you for college doesn’t mean you’re actually prepared for college.
people who don't believe that this country could easily mirror that of nazi germany are ignorant.
it's not just elon's nazi salute; it's the censorship and propaganda and revoking rights and removing diversity programs and banning literature and giving political power to billionaires who don't care about lowering the price of eggs
i also keep a bag of chopped onion in the freezer, but i wouldn’t make fucking risotto
Gentle reminder that Jesus was an immigrant, whose parents had to run from their own land in a quality alike to modern refugees. Gentle reminder that Jesus helped the poor and unfortunate and despised the greedy and miser, “It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God”. And let’s not forget the cleansing of the temple.
He protected women and rightfully blamed men for their own sins, even going as far as to tell them “If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. (…) And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away”.
He didn’t ever speak of abortion, but on Exodus 21 it’s stated that “If men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she gives birth prematurely, yet there is no injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband may demand of him, and he shall pay as the judges decide. But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise”. Which shows us a woman is to be valued over that which she carries, for the loss of the fetus would be compensated with as little as a fine, but the life of the woman merited as high a penalty as life for life.
Anything else Christians use to justify their anti-abortion posture is taken out of context (seriously, they use verses like Genesis 9:6: “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image”, as if it wasn’t very obviously speaking about murder among adult men. Or verses such as Exodus 23:7b: “Do not kill the innocent and righteous”, which, to be applied to abortion, requires us to understand an unborn fetus as “innocent and righteous”.
So no, he definitely wouldn’t agree with nazis. Nor with American Conservatives.
