“We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people." — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

“There comes a time when silence is betrayal.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

“You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people." — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"Be uncomfortable. It's all right to be uncomfortable, but if we're on this planet, and if we don't open the conversation, we will perish on this planet." — Dr. Edwina Moss, personal secretary to Martin Luther King Jr.

"There is a great deal of difference between non-resistance to evil, and non-violent resistance [to evil]." — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

i want peace, too; however, i don’t want, to quote MLK, “a negative peace[,] which is the absence of tension[. i want] a positive peace[,] which is the presence of justice”

it’s like MLK Jr. said, “Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.”

if you have Nebula, she talks about that in this video: https://nebula.tv/videos/princessweekes-heteronormative-culture-is-a-menace/

it’s even more wild because there are non-Black people who are attracted to us and hate us, especially because they think we’re “too confident” and “too attractive” “for a Black person,” and then they try to “humble” us and then get mad when we lose interest like bffr 🫠🙃😭

@princesmweekes.bsky.social talking about how, when it comes to dating, people project “being intimidating” onto Black people and how that affects the way we’re able to navigate dating and sex really hit home lol

“projecting,” “jumping to conclusions,” etc. because nobody else involved is willing to corroborate what’s happening and can just argue that the victim is overreacting and is actually the antagonist—especially if they’re a woman, queer, trans, Black, poor, and/or disabled

the fact that we pathologize how people react to rejection (“rejection sensitivity dysphoria”) will always be a grave mistake, especially because it allows abusers to gaslight people by claiming they’re being “too sensitive,”

“I can’t create and not live.” — Ms. Lauryn Hill youtube.com/shorts/KM87J...

getting a text in the middle of the night and it's just my loathsome vizier saying "Your enemies lie in wait, my lord!!" what am I supposed to do with that. its four in the morning

being alone =/= being lonely

it’s always interesting how my roommate who called me a “fucking n*gger” always snores loudly until i wake up and then again whenever i come back in the room from showering or something

For one thing, bodily autonomy is bodily autonomy. Children's rights are children's rights. Rejecting both is essential to allow men like Epstein to exist, so they reject both. It's not them being hypocritical, it's them being consistent.

Megyn Kelly, who is a danger to her children, is being perfectly consistent by simultaneously declaring trans people innate sexual predators *and* defending the world's most famous sexual predator.

In their ideal society, wealthy men can prey upon young women and children, without consequence. And less wealthy men can prey upon trans people, without consequence. It's not hypocrisy that they instantly started defending Epstein, it's consistency. Both are necessary parts of their ideal world

These people got massive paychecks, for years, floating their unprofitable outlets where they shrieked about groomers and did stochastic terrorism against trans people. And now, they're doing the "actually it's ephebophilia" bit because that is just as crucial a part of the hierarchy they uphold.

It was always inevitable that the loudest and best-funded (by people in Epstein's emails) anti-trans freaks who spent years trying to brand trans people as sexual predators, would instantly start defending Epstein. It's not hypocrisy, it's them reinforcing their hierarchy.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE TOOK FHE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF JUST FUNCTIONING KIND INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE WORLD what if we had listened when we said we we should il instead of denying and grasping Instead of ignoring predatory models where folks got paid by these fools based in bias

Update: the CO trip has been postponed. Goal has been updated accordingly. I still need money for basic expenses this month, herbal medications, and to recoup my savings account if possible. C: $FallonBinns (preferred) V: fallon-binns #DisabilityCrowdfund #TransCrowdfund #MutualAid

I also have a knitting shop where I'm currently taking commissions for custom knitted garments! All of which can be found on my Ko-fi, under the various tabs: ko-fi.com/crippledcommie #BSNM #OpenComms

Nobody saw it coming, aside from the government of Venezuela and tens of millions of people across the globe

people often talk about how self-isolation is bad; however, all self-isolation is not the result of unhealthy coping mechanisms, especially because all people (especially autistic people) actually do need time alone to recuperate

I hate yawning — tattle-tale bullshit. Let me be sleepy in the privacy of my own brain 😤
