Have you ever come across a person/character that you may feel deep connection, or respect, or deep admiration towards - and then, at some point, all of the sudden, they are somehow about to come in light in a sexual perspective, and then you suddenly find a strong feeling in yourself that seeing them as a sexual creature all of...
i know "every #homeless#person deserves compassion and #support regardless of their circumstances prior to becoming homeless" etc. etc. but it really is crazy hearing #stories from #people who were like, #workingclass or otherwise #homeowning people who had One (1) misfortune happen that caused them to become homeless. like that "you are one #financial#crisis away from #homelessness" thing is terrifyingly #real
"Being a good #person is a #choice. Don’t let #people fool you into believing that truly good people never have bad thoughts, are never tempted by the easier path, by the low road, never mess up or act out selfishly. Never believe a person can be good without making a conscious effort.
Every single time you do something good, you’ve made a decision to make the #world a little brighter.
Goodness is not an inherent trait, it is a choice. Keep making it! I see you, I’m proud of you!" #fyi#psa

"I refuse to give a single penny of my hard earned money to people receiving government aid. They're probably milking the system and just too lazy to get a job."
#people who would gladly give $1,500 every month to a rich #person who already owns five houses
I treat Christmas like I treat birthdays. Have a Christmas category and each person gets a goal. Also budget for unexpected expenses like extra food, wrapping papers, etc. Once I spend the money, I put it under gifts with #Christmas#Person so I can have a clean report, but can drill down with a seach if I need to. Here is my breakdown.
almost none of the reasons why i support #abortion rights have anything to do with babies. really it’s more about the fact that I think the #government shouldn’t be able to force you to lend all your organs to #someone else and change irreparably in the process. is a fetus a #person? I don’t care! If it is a person, I don’t want anyone to be forced to host one against their will! If it isn’t a person, guess what? Nobody should be forced to host one against their will! What’s a soul? What’s a person? When does #life begin? IRRELEVANT! A #world in which the government can force anyone to manufacture an entirely new #human body at the cost of their own is not a world I want to live in!
someone really commented "this is illegal" on a post about blocking weapons shipments to #israel...and there was another #person saying "finally someone pointed out you could go to jail for this". i'm losing my fucking mind. there is no #legal avenue to stop what the #USa#government is doing and you need to accept that at this point.
every #politician who claims #israel has a right to 'defend itself', every #celebrity who reposts israel-sympathetic statements, every hand-wringing #liberal who refuses to take a stance because 'it's just too complex', every #zionist who fearmongers about this turning into a second #holocaust, every western #journalist who insists on asking their #palestinian guests "but do you condemn #hamas?" — in fact any #person who wants to comment on the situation at all should be forced to read this article in full before they're allowed to voice their opinion.
at the end of the article, there is a 338-page list of the names of the palestinians who have been killed by #israeli forces from october 7th-25th. the first six pages are for the age '0'.
Here's someone who works at a downtown hotel: "I live in Dogpatch, and I usually drive to work."
It's two miles. 11 minutes by car. But 16 minutes by transit or by bicycle. And Google says it's a 48 minute walk, though it wouldn't take me that long.
Why do they drive to work? Probably because they get free parking at the hotel. And it saves them... 5 minutes
does it ever cross your #mind why I'm a #mean#antifascist#person?! does it ever make sense that I've gone through more in my #life than you can even comprehend? you can say you get it..... but I don't believe you as you aren't #me.... scalps.... :antifa_100:
"my coworkers, all of whom are white Christian women, said today that they think #ANYONE of #Palestinian descent should be deported to #Gaza and then have bombs dropped on them.
They don’t know I’m Palestinian. I’m fucking terrified. We don’t have HR. I can’t lose my job. It’s crazy to me that they can spout #genocidal bullshit but if I so much as mention my ethnicity they may turn on me and hate me.
I’m a patient care coordinator at a pulmonary practice. All I want to do is make sure my patients get the care they need and deserve. I’m the only care coordinator in my office. I’m great at my job. But it was so hard to focus today knowing that if my coworkers knew about one of the biggest aspects of my identity - one of the things about myself about which I am the most proud - they would stop seeing me as a #person.
Fuck off with the bothsidesism. With the whataboutism. This is what the mass of #propaganda and #lies and anti-Arabism being spread in the #media do. And I’m terrified."

Budgeting for Christmas gifts
I’m curious how this community budgets for Christmas gifts? If you lump sum it, how do you make sure you spend the right amount on everyone?
