Things I am speaking into existence for 2020. 1. A permanent, full time position where I am doing work that I enjoy and am valued for what I do and how I do it 2. Spiritual and physical health and peace 3. An abundance of joy for myself and those around me 1/X

Every single death within ICE custody must be understood by the public as murder.

Reminder: if voting requires a $165 passport, that’s a poll tax. We made those unconstitutional in 1964.

Rich kids get capital. Middle class kids get “figure it out.” Poor kids get trauma and told it builds character. The starting line is not equal.

Going down wikipedia rabbit holes is the closest living descendent of surfing the web.

Yes, and that shift away from teen culture wasn’t accidental. Streaming and social media collapsed everything into the same space. Teens and adults are now consuming the same content on the same platforms, driven by the same algorithms. And those algorithms are not built for

AO3 is not social media, it's a library. Fanfic is not content, it's a hobby. Fic writers are not published authors who should stay out of fan spaces. They ARE fans. Fic readers are not clients or customers, they're fellow fans. The sooner people realise all that, the better.

I really wish more Americans were aware that the USPS is the only service - the ONLY one - that can reach every home in the country. All other services rely on them for "last mile" deliveries that these other (more expensive!) services refuse (or can't) deliver to!

"Bread is bad for you," "rice is bad for you"—sorry, I'm not subscribing to the idea that staple grains that have been integral to cultures for centuries are evil. I love you, carbs.

What chatgpt has revealed is that a surprising large number of people want to be “seen” as intelligent, profound or insightful. Many more people than you’d assume. But they profoundly resent intellectual work or reading or study or, say, literally anything you do to get smarter

big reminder to everyone that neither you, your parents, your grandparents or even your great grandparents know a life without a postal service, and amazon will never be able to go the extra mile like usps does!! it’s not for profit, it’s a service!!!

They were paid to let go of their slaves. The generational wealth lots of white people enjoy today is payment from their government to let go of their slaves.

Gen Z is very judgy because they have grown up in a digital panopticon where any social faux pas they make can be preserved and disseminated, everyone has a camera inside their head that watches them, this is also why they lack the ability to be sincere

It was basically child labor laws and the car that gives us the conception of the teenager in America. For teens who could afford it, the car meant freedom, a place to be intimate, another source of music (car radios). Cars are very unique in American history!

the whole reason why High School Musical and Hannah Montana even happened was LITERALLY because of the success of The Cheetah Girls and That’s So Raven!!!!!!!

americans really spend 4 years in a walkable community (college), say “wow, those were truly the best years of my life. oh well!” and then proceed to buy a house & car in the middle of a suburbanite hellscape

It's such a harmful Christian theology that looks at wars and famine and says, "This might be the fulfillment of End Times prophecies!" and "Jesus might be retuning soon!" instead of "look at how much people are suffering” and “how can we stop this injustice?"

The fact that his pops had to call her to warn her he was coming to her house. Yeah this is insane

Although school is not for everyone do not let people discourage you from pursuing a higher education. We need the upcoming generation with better mindsets to become our next lawyers, judges, doctors, etc. We need GOOD people with real morals and values in high places.

White people have this obsession with forcing their victims to share in the blame of their sin. They refuse to just accept the evil is unique to them and do the work to understand why. It’s a lack of self awareness and self reflection.
