I hate this. Why does it have to be 'the Catholic concept'? Stories about redemption and personal journeys exist in many traditions religious and not – eg. I'd have called Infinity Train a lot closer to the Wheel of Samsara and achieving Nirvana than anything Christian. 1/2

time for my new favorite tumblr post

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

This here is absolutely correct. Like... *obviously* so, isn't it? I am in favor of the existence of MAID, but only as a last-resort service, not this nonsense. I favor what it claims it is. If it can't *be* that, it has to go.

DING DONG!! DING DONG!!!

Possibly controversial opinion, but as far as the violence vs pacifism 'debate' goes, in the face of violent oppression, I think we need both. Both the carrot of potential profitable peace and the stick of kinetic destructive resistance are needed to convince the rulers to maybe *not*.

It's true, and also inevitable. Fascism is literally the ideology of mediocrity, of loyalty over expertise, of action over thought, of narrative over reality. There is no such thing as a fascist regime capable of being competent or permanent. They just do massive damage anyway.

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

"If they have to do it, they should do it in private." "Yeah!" "It's not right, doing it in the open where kids can see." "Yeah! It's not like they have to, it's something they choose to do." "True. Hate is a lifestyle choice." "Absol- Hate?" "Yeah. What did you think we were talking about?"

Oof. That specific bastard, which was created and installed by other bastards, is by far the most bastardly of the bastards.

Not sure about those photo choices. The genuine effect is like this:

@hedgehogsafety.bsky.social Here's the aptly-named 'centristbot.bsky.social' lying about trans history. Honestly his whole deal is incredibly insufferable,so it's no surprise he's like *this* too.

We could all do with some wholesome trans content and this had me bawling: here’s the moment where Beth McCarthy gave a trans person a new name at her concert. 🎥 @Bethmaymcarthy on instagram
