your feelings are valid == you are allowed to feel what you feel
your feelings are valid =/= whatever actions you take based purely on your emotions is reasonable and right
your feelings are valid. that doesn't mean your understanding of a situation is correct; it doesn't mean you haven't misunderstood something; it doesn't mean you have the right to hurt someone else because you feel hurt, or unhappy, or sad, or angry, even if they obviously 'deserve it for how they made you feel
your feelings are valid; you are not wrong for feeling whatever way you feel. But just because you feel something doesn't make it true

Got served an ad about Meta “betting on people” and being pro-AI. In the background it played Five Years by Bowie. And I can’t decide if there was some edgelord saying “no, guys, it’s actually brilliant” in a meeting or if they’re just a bunch of stupid fucking assholes, but I’m betting on assholes.

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.

When I made this crop art piece I was thinking a lot about the fawn response to trauma, and how often women find ourselves doing this “it’s okay, I’m not mad!” thing when faced with abusive men in unsafe situations. I wish we knew more about Renee Good than just her last words to her murderer.

Today everyone — EVERYONE — should take a moment and read Ray Bradbury's four-page short story from 1950.
"Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, "in the city of
Allendale, California." It repeated the date three times for memory's sake. "Today is Mr.
Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable,
as are the water, gas, and light bills."
