“My privilege will try to make me complicit by default.”

This really hit home, so I’m posting it for others to see.

Because they did it in my name. They did it for the prosperity of their descendants. But I don’t want any benefits conferred through slavery. I know it’s impossible for me to shed every single advantage that my ancestry affords me, but the least I could do is examine it. Be critical of it, to be as proactive as possible when it comes to the whole ‘not being complicit in historical atrocities’ thing. As a person of considerable privilege, I consider it my responsibility because my privilege will try to make me complicit by default.“]

*vomits up a dinosaur-shaped sponge* alright who switched out my pills

*is not comforted by a relaxing spongy weight in my stomach* where are my fucking dinosaurs

pretty boy isn’t an insult. even if you sneer it at someone while pointing a gun at them and demanding their wallet, you’re still complimenting them. you’re just doing it with homoerotic hostility. fruit on fruit violence. why don’t you buy them flowers with their money that you just stole.

come and get your gender here folks! assigned gender at uquiz! 

business majors be like damn i have a human rights violation due tomorrow

I’ve been feeling overwhelmed lately.

Beware the Ides of March 🔪

wish we could spend less time telling fat people that they’re ~still sexy and fuckable~ and more time telling thin people that their bodies aren’t a sign of superiority

sexualising fat bodies doesn’t fix the problem

how is that gonna help fat children being bullied. how is that gonna help people being treated like shit at work. how does that help people who’s medical needs aren’t being met because their doctors can’t see past their weight.

it’s not just about feeling desirable it’s about being respected and valued as people

humans: i am worthless. i cannot do anything.

also humans: *sings in the bathroom* *writes poems* *provides trees with CO2* *swims* *studies* *reads autobiographies* *proposes to their s/o* *passes a compliment* *stares at the moon* *takes shitty pictures of the sunset* *shouts fuck for no reason* FUCK! *hugs you* *talks* *doesn't like to be touched* *dances late at night* *says i love you* *says i hate you(affectionate)* :)

I know I said I was tired of living through big historic moments.... but I’ll take it back if I live to see the British monarchy dissolved
