listen. listen. the consumption of animal products is about mutually beneficial relationships Not domination and that's why prioritizing animal r*ghts over animal welfare is an absolutely brain fungus take to have
urban leftists who've never so much as raised a chicken will be like "umm think about the politics of your diet???" because they can't conceive of the fact that domestication is an incredibly sweet gig for most livestock where they don't have to look for their own food or shelter or water are protected from predators and also get free healthcare and a quick clean death
100%
The actual issues with our current livestock system are because of capitalism and industrialization. Can we please focus our energy on the global paradigm being cruel and unsustainable to us, the planet, AND livestock instead of getting lost in virtue signaling
Also many animal products are both better and healthier for the earth than their replacements.
Leather is a great example. Good leather can last generations. Pleather breaks down, and puts more plastic into the environment. Don't even get me started on how bad fake fur is.
And you're not killing any more animals! We're already eating those cows! But because people have been convinced that "leather bad" most of those cowhides are literally just thrown away to rot instead of being used.
i have a brain problem that prevents me from understanding people who need so much specifically newly-released TV shows that they're upset by the prospect of going a few months without new ones being produced
like they could stop making video games and books today and I wouldn't notice until sometime in 2026. honestly if they'd stop making new video games for a while that'd be kinda convenient. everyone take a break and let me catch up. I still haven't even played Persona 5.
find me in 2029 going "you guys heard about this red plumber dude? little bastard just loves to jump lol. anyway it sounds weird, I know, but I'm kinda getting into it"
"queer infighting will be the death of us" "stop infighting this must be a psyop" "why do we have to infight instead of focusing on REAL issues"
We don't HAVE to infight, you people have just been ignoring lesbians for years when we tell you that our identity doesn't include men and is literally the only word and only identity that doesn't, we've been trying to get this through for YEARS and you've done nothing but deflect and call it infighting and never once care or give a fuck about what lesbians feel about our own label, our own identities, unless it's specifically a lesbian you found who agrees with you so you can tokenize them.
There wouldn't BE "infighting" if you people could actually listen to lesbians, if you actually respected our wishes and our comfort and our identities instead of treating us like some exclusive mean girls club, all you've ever done is talk over us and condemn us for "infighting" that only exists because you REFUSE TO LISTEN TO US OR RESPECT US.
You're all just pushing the same cishet patriarchal bullshit of lesbians just being mean, man-hating excluders oppressing bi people by not just liking men. You're all doing "you just haven't found the right man" and dressing it in inclusive language to not seem like fucking dirt bags.
This isn't hard. This has never been hard. Literally just listen to what we're saying about our own identities. But we aren't allowed to speak up, we aren't allowed to tell people to stop, we aren't allowed to stand up for ourselves, or we're just "mean" and we're just "infighting". You're all lesbophobic as fuck and it's just so much easier for you all to keep doing patriarchy and keep pushing men into the one label that doesn't include them than it is to listen and support us.
I wonder why the single label that doesn't include men under patriarchy is the one constantly being shit on and ignored and called "mean". You might realize something about yourself if you think about it too long.
I understand why people call Jod’s behavior towards Harrow in HtN manipulative and intentionally malicious, but I think an equally valid reading is that he is trying his best to be a good caretaker/teacher/deity to this profoundly troubled teen, and he just fucking sucks ass at it. Like it’s impressive how bad he is at helping.
“God is actually EVIL!!!” is a different thing than “god is disappointing.” Both can be true of the same god, of course, but I so rarely see the latter explored in fiction and I like it.
“god loves you, technically, but he’s got the emotional intelligence of a grapefruit and he’s allergic to critical introspection, so his good intentions can’t really do anything for you, which means you’re still fucked. Maybe even moreso than without god’s ‘help.’ All hail.”
okay but here's the thing I can't shut up about. they would have been these people anyway!!!! tai did everything she said she was going to. jeff reminds shauna "secrets have always been a part of us." lottie has struggled with her mental health since childhood. shaunajackie fallout was always going to be nuclear whether it happened in the woods or at college. if van and natalie weren't stuck in the woods they'd be stuck with their parents or what was left of them. and everybody knows misty was already who she is. they could have taken any route and they would have ended up at the destination of themselves anyway. say they didn't crash, say they won nationals. it doesn't matter. it doesn't fucking matter!!! fast forward twenty-five years and the class reunion plays out more or less the same. they win nationals and misty is still a nurse playing god and natalie is still in rehab or maybe not because who would be paying for it so scratch that they win nationals and natalie is still dead, and shaunajackie are still swallowing each other whole. they win nationals and nothing singularly or uniquely terrible happens to them and they still grow up to be wracked with anger and guilt anyway! they're still unsatisfied, cheating on their spouses. they're still suicidal, still schizophrenic. terrible things still happen to them but they're commonplace terrible, so who cares? get over it. all this to say the self is inescapable. all this to say this life fucks you up no matter what. there was no other way for them, there was no other fate for them. there is no ideal life where they are perfect and good. the crash isn't the tragedy. the tragedy is that they all are who they are. they are human. they win nationals, and they still have to be these people. they have to be these people, but alone. the tragedy is that they think they could have been fine if they hadn't done such terrible things to survive after the crash. but they were never fine, they were never going to be fine, and that IS fine because neither was anyone else. "we're all like this." we were always going to be. and I don't mean it's a good thing they crashed. I mean it's all a crash. there is no unscathed life.
if i got possessed demonically i wouldn’t even notice it. with everything else i’ve got going on
