So many Americans have had it so good for so long at the cost of so many people they’ll never know or care to know, that the idea of not having everything they want their way every time and on time becomes a form of oppression to them. It’s not about civil rights, it’s not about human rights, it is literally about “restaurant use bad rainbow” bullshit, and it should make people ashamed. It should make them ashamed to see…
Why does Pride matter? Why do we get a month? What was it all about? I’ve posted an article from People Magazine below to give a brief rundown for the oft-asked questions. June is Pride Month, and though the LGBTQ+ community continues to face an uphill battle — the ACLU reports there are currently 491 pieces of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation being floated around the U.S. — there is still much to celebrate. According to the Library of Congress, the month recognizes…
I was out and about paying a few bills today, and when I was in the customer service line at our local grocery store, I saw a woman behind the counter wearing a rainbow pin that said “love will always win,” and a little pin next to it listing her pronouns as “She/They” and I just wanted to cry. I wanted to cry because sometimes I don’t realize just how much pressure there truly is pushing down on us, and…
Sometimes, people ask me why I’m not a Democrat. Some folks say that by not choosing to fully support Democrats I’m letting democracy be dismantled, but the truth is that democracy has long since been dismantled. Republicans and Democrats are two sides of the same coin: capitalism. They both support a capitalist system that requires exploitation to function (this is what I mean when I say both are the same. Obviously they differ in ways, but in purpose they are…
Today is the Transgender Day of Visibility. If you have some trans friends in your life, take a moment to tell them that you care about them, and that they’re not alone.To all of my trans sisters, brothers, and enbies, you are not alone, I love you, and I will continue to do what I can to protect all of us. *hugs*
The United States takes no breath as it kills mercilessly, tromping around the globe in gore covered boots, and a smoking gun in its bloody hands. It rifles through the pockets of the dead for their resources, and then thumps its chest in anger at the shocked faces staring back.
Well, my account was suspended permanently from Twitter, after 13 years. Twitter would like to say it was verbal harassment of a fellow Tweeter (ugh), and I can’t help but agree. I told a bigot, a racist, a Nazi sympathizer, to choke on a turd. That was apparently too much for Twitter to tolerate. After months and months of me telling Nazis, KKK, and other white supremacist groups to generally eat shit in one form or another, Twitter decided I…
Whether you like him, love him, or believe he’s the worst person who ever lived (he’s not), he was absolutely correct when he said: For those who can’t see it, it says: “It is difficult for me to imagine what personal liberty is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment. Real liberty can exist only where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man…
I’m back, for now. Turns out that social media sites don’t take too kindly when you’re using your forum to help women find birth control medication thanks to the recent Supreme Court overturning of Roe v. Wade. I mean, can I prove that my site was deleted because of that? No. Am I an idiot? Also no. It only happened, and quickly, after I started posting links and sharing them with social media sites. By the next morning, my forum…
