Killing people doesn't unkill other people. It just causes even more dead people. In fact once you realize that, you end up being opposed to *gestures generally at everything going on right now*.

Ich glaube man muss die Sorgen ernst nehmen und jetzt auf die Wähler_innen tu gehen und die Politik der stimmenstärksten Partei durch die Bank umsetzen. Berlin hat gezeigt, dass die etablierten Parteien keine Antworten auf das Themenfeld Soziales haben und es ein Fehler war das zu Tabuisieren.

mucho texto i know but i wanted to write a lil thing about how u can treat yourself nice!!

art of a wolf girl eating broccoli and brushing her teeth. the dialogue says:
I've been an adult living on my own for a coupleyears now and since I have ADHD and bouts of Sick Brain Disease I can fall into a rut easilyESPECIALLY when it comesto taking care of myselfbut the awesome thing about being an adult is that no one is watching over your shoulder making
sure you're perfect i used to give myself shit that i wouldn't be able to eat healthier or take care of myself in an optimal way here's a cool trick tho: ANYTHINGis is better than nothing. if you can only eat a couple vegetables? buddy thats better than no vegetables. worried about brushing your teeth for like three minutes? do like ten seconds instead want to socialize more often but you're worried you can't do multi-hour events? babe you're an adult now, if you get tired you can just leave lol If you want to improve, fuck yeah, work your way up to more of whatever. starting at all is the hard part - if you can do that then you've got a lot of what you need already anyway ive crunched the numbers and treating yourself a little bit better than yesterday is actually a million times better than trying to Fix Your Life Completely and getting mad when you can't do a 180. be nice and recognize that you can live a lot of your life in first or second drafts; if you're not perfect yet? fuck it, you'll get better later! u can do it!!! woof!!

When you point out the racist views or someone like Churchill for example

People say he was a man of his time and lots of people thought like that back then lots of people? Really?

So I checked with my African and Indian Caribbean grandparents and Surprise Surprise they didn't think they were inferior to White Protestant Christians

Everyone thought it was fine at the time is how you excuse my lips or bootcard jeans or 90s dark lip liner trend not eugenics

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica.
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica.
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

final point of this hits the nail really

This proposal will not keep children safe. Child safety looks like well-funded education, robust social services, and meaningful guardrails on the very Al technologies and platforms the current government is eagerly courting. What the UK government wants instead is invisible surveillance infrastructure, switched on by default and potentially rushed into law under cynical pretexts. All of this with scant care for the actual needs of the children they claim to be protecting or the horrifying and far-ranging consequences that will ensue in practice.

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.

A photo of Tony Head with a fan, standing in a barn near a horse. Tumblr post from dracofidus: If you EVER think Anthony Head is anything less than an angel then you'd best remember that I have always been a huge fan of his and we've always had a little contact over the years and he heard I'd come out as Trans and was having a hard time and that I was kind of sad that the photos I had from conventions with him were of me with long hair and no binder and they were all signed to "Sarah" and so he invited me to spend the day with him at his farm and he picked me up from the station and we just hung out and had lunch and he insisted on paying and look loads of photos and had them printed on photo paper the same day so he could sign them to Jay, along with other photos of him as Giles and Utger and he literally spent five hours chatting with me and got all the pronoun stuff right every time and then he dropped me off at the station, gave me a massive hug. Waved me through the ticket barrier and insisted I message him when I got home so he knew I was back safe.
