It drives me insane how many people dont realise how often they break the law and that if the full force of it was ever applied life would basically be unliveable. Like between traffic violations, petty workplace theft, account sharing and piracy alongside how common it is to have been in posession of some illegal drug at some point in your life. People still manage to get away with thinking "criminals" are people who commit crimes not just populations that are surveilled enough to be routinely prosecuted

As an adult I think me and all my friends should all have matching schedules and work like 20 hours a week and also everyone lives within 15 minutes of each other why is that so much to ask

the way that no one wears a mask at my local LGBTQ clinic, and in fact comments on my mask like it's just this hilarious little idiosyncrasy that I still wear one and not because I'm immunocompromised and we're in the middle of a pandemic ... as if there isn't an airborne virus that literally fucks up your immune system ... as if we didn't lose a generation of queer people to another virus that fucks up your immune system ...

it's soo awful. seeing queer leftists just shrug off taking precautions in the wave of peer pressure.. does no one know their history??? we have to take care of each other. PLEASE mask up. there is new research saying that there are two phases of COVID- acute and chronic, and both can be either symptomatic or asymptomatic. it wreaks havoc on your T-cells. 60% of cases are asymptomatic. repeat infections do NOT give you immunity, in fact they make your risk of complications even higher. COVID gets in your lungs, your blood stream, your brain, everywhere. it can lie dormant for months. we still don't know the full "long-term" consequences of infections.

the government is leaving us in this mess. we have to take care of each other. as testing clinics get shut down and more people are forced back into danger, a good respirator is the easiest thing you can do to keep yourself safe. look for kn95 or n95 masks (respirators). these will keep you sooo much safer than a "baggy blue"!! if you need some immediately, check a walgreens for a pack of three 3m auras. otherwise, i highly suggest projectn95.org. they have some on sale right now.

this is a good resource that compiles a lot of available research in easy to to understand language. taking care of yourself, your communities, and resisting death in the face of government apathy is punk rock!!!

a lot of what i've noticed about the moral panic surrounding children among right wingers is it creates the exact sort of situation where child abuse thrives. you can't trust anyone but family. don't send your child to school. keep your child isolated from the scary outside world. tell me, who statistically is most likely to abuse the child? family, and children abused by families are likely to stay trapped in an abusive situation since they're dependent on their parents for survival. they're also likely to be shamed, accused of lying, and blamed for family problems. not everyone is safe at home, that's just the way it is. community support of children is what abusers fear so don't dare claim you care about victims while advocating isolation. the first person to tell me "the way your dad treats you is wrong, that's not normal" was not a family member...

there is still hope and kindness in the world and not everyone outside your home is your enemy

tbh I think a huge part of what scares wingers abt support of trans kids is that it implicitly requires listening to children, validating their gut feelings and their personal wants. the idea that a child can say ‘something is wrong with how I'm being treated‚ perceived‚ and spoken to‚’ or‚ ‘the narrative I have been fed about my body and societal role is incorrect‚ and that's hurting me‚’ and every adult is morally obligated to respectfully say ‘you're right‚ what can we do to help? what has to change for you to be comfortable?’ is a TOP PRIORITY DANGER to a society that wants children controlled‚ indoctrinated‚ and to be perpetually available for abuse of all kinds. it's why they try to frame trans ppl as incomprehensibly deluded and as too perverted to be let around young people; bc they can recognize what a danger it presents to their social constructs if children realize they have a voice in anything at all.
