im sorry if this offends but i believe that you are in fact capable of learning new things, improving your skills, becoming a better person, and having a happier life than you currently do.

the degree to which they want to destroy one of the jewels of the American republic—our exceptional research universities—is just gobsmacking

If it wasn’t so serious, Hegseth’s new plan to give testosterone to service members would be laughable. Here are 3 reasons why it’s absurd.

if i were a man who was, you know, normal, well i'd be mad as hell every time some guy got on a microphone to talk about what a big stupid lunkheaded alcoholic rapist i am

Seems a bit odd that people are forgetting that the reason why the classics are dominated by the Greco-Romans is because both cultures were expansionist during antiquity. But then again, we are living in an era of “fuck knowledge, history and facts”.

The danger in trying to do good is that the mind comes to confuse the intent of goodness with the act of doing things well.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

there's no "just let ICE go after the 'bad ones'" there are no good immigrants/bad immigrants. there are no acceptable targets, no justifiable victims of state violence. I do not accept the starting position of fascism. I will not compromise when the stakes are someone else's life or freedom.

today is the first time ive seen a trigger warning on a sourdough video and it felt silly but i really appreciated it 🙃🙃 #iykyk

I’ve never forgotten the editor who scrawled “smelt is for metals!!” on a piece of my work. It wasn’t very good work, and many of her other comments were valid. But that one was stupid.

Good morning to everyone who is committed to outliving the fascists and a very happy Sunday.

Steinbeck, East of Eden

In the latter months of his own long sickness the Master Herbal had taught him much of the healer's lore, and the first lesson and the last of all that lore was this: Heal the wound and cure the illness, but let the dying spirit go.

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

Kids need/deserve traumatic films. Films that show death or lasting consequences that aren't resolved almost instantly. Fear, anger, grief and frustration should be part of kids movies. Kids arent stupid, they feel big emotions just like adults, they deserve to see those experiences reflected back.
