I don’t know man if capitalism has just resulted in a small network of pedophiles destroying all life on earth then perhaps we should consider that it is a complete and utter failure as a system

so many of just the ferguson protestors have been literally lynched and murdered and y'all DON'T EVEN MENTION THEM NO MORE it's crazy
I’ve said it and I believe it is true

There is a willful forgetting and suppression of the memory of the hundreds of protests that shook this nation for the past decade and a half. So while Canadians and European laypeople whine “Americans don’t do anything,” the Americans are actively suppressed

The US has had the most combative, organized and social movement oriented working class in the West over the last fifteen years, there are whole national street mvmts people have completely forgotten about (OccupyICE, anybody?) and anyone who fails to name this assessing the political situation 🚮

Every single one of these women were beautiful!! Letoya’s face card was so lethal to me. Kelly BEEN fine her whole life. LaTavia was always stunning. Beyonce definitely wasn’t the ONLY pretty one.
I will always remember someone describing Beyoncé as “the pretty one from Destiny’s Child.”

Beyoncé obviously IS pretty. But *the* pretty one? No. NO. That’s colorism.

There is no healthy way you could look at any version of that group and say that only one of them is pretty.

I think people today don't understand just how dramatically the night sky has changed - it looked like it does in super remote areas *everywhere* before the invention of electric lighting, and light pollution that obscures the sky has gotten dramatically worse in the last 25 years.
If you ever have the experience of seeing a night sky out in the deep countryside you can understand this; it really is a fundamentally different experience, and I can't imagine it not being formative to people.

It's so funny that a billionaire was on here *this week* being like, "Well if there are any *good ideas* on how to implement universal healthcare I would love to entertain them!" but also hasn't just uhh checked to see how every other country in the so-called developed world has done it in some form

Some people do not want a romantic or sexual relationship with you, and that is okay!

Even if you find them attractive 💛

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

In terms of apartments which have a relationship to housing costs, technology and permits drive costs.

That luxury apartment is likely in receivership with the bank.

Walk with me talk with me.
The housing problem doesn’t have shit to do with immigrants literally nothing does it’s 100% a result of resource hoarding & eons of social engineering by capitalists. You can kick as many people out as you want & tons of folk still won’t be able to afford a house cuz rich people don’t want them to

not to mention that Steven almost broke from the mess his mom gave him and the pressure added by everyone else

we were all watching him self destruct from PTSD. I couldn't imagine.
Finding out the dynamic between Rose Quartz and Pearl and how hurt Pearl was that Rose chose Greg made me march STRAIGHT down to the therapist.
When I found out that she was Pink Diamond, all my respect for her left. Not to mention, I understand it even more now as an adult than I was as a child 😭

another hot take:

Rose Quartz (Steven Universe) is a perfect example of a reverse redemption arc.

This encroachment of so-called “dynamic pricing“ into every facet of everything is ridiculous and wrong. Applying it to food in grocery stores is abuse.
