Havvmaage - The Maage

Sometimes, i get really insecure about my lack of formal education when talking about politics, but then I remember some people have masters degrees and still voted for Donald Trump or Peter Dutton.

Empathy needs no books or lectures to be felt, I'm not saying education is unnecessary, its extremely necessary, but I'm sick of this "they didn't know any better" bullshit when it comes to fascism and oppression. The German people should have known better, and the American people should know a hell of a lot better after all that. I am not well educated, I dropped out of high school, and even before that, I struggled because of family violence and poverty, and I totally stopped trying at school in 7th grade because I was suicidal. There are many reasons peoples education gets disrupted, which often results in more poverty and oppression. But your lack of education justifies JACK SHIT.

I was 12 when I had a screaming match with my racist grandma over her defending Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd, when i was 16, I vandalised public property with activist slogans demanding justice for the Indigenous Australians being unfairly and disproportionately incarcerated and imprisoned by Australian law enforcement, I was 17, homeless, and addicted to meth when i went to my first pro-Palestine rally outside Melbourne Parliament. You do not need to be well-educated or in a good place to feel empathy for others. You don't need to be religious to love thy neighbour. You don't need ANYTHING to he a good person.

If you ever try and tell me to my face that you "didn't know any better" after supporting fascists, I will curbstomp you so hard you'll get an education through amnesia therapy and brain injury rehab.

I resonate with every single sentence of this on a very deep level

I never felt respected by my father, because he didn't listen. Even though he loves to say "we can just talk about it", doing so feels so useless.

Every time someone (especially kids) sets a boundary I praise them for doing so. I always try to listen when a kid, and engange with what they say. Because I remember when I was a kid, and the things I said didn't really matter, or was easily dismissed.

My youngest cousin is a lot younger than the rest of us, and I can tell she appreciates what I do and the time we spend together.

Because I remember from a very young age (4 or 5) how it felt being the youngest, not having my feelings, boundaries, and words validated. Feeling ignored and unimportant.

consider: teenagers aren’t apathetic about everything they’re just used to you shitting all over whatever they show excitement about

How did it go?

brb i’m dying my hair blue with crayola markers

LETS GOOO! Just passed my driving test, and is of course celebrating it with a new embroidery project!

Mum I'm famous

Just saw flamingo for thw forst time and it was amazing. I fell a bit in love with both dancers and the entire preformance style

In total there was to dancers (a man and woman), three singers, and two guitarists. Not everyone was always on stage. And I missed the danvers when they vere backstage. It looked like this

It was just amazing. The way I understood not a single word sung, but totally got what they were showinf. It show was improvosed whoch was lovely. The two dancers would sometimes be on different wavelenfrh (ofc still on the same beat) and then two seconds latee do the exacr same thing fuæly synceonized. My jaw was oon the floor. The preformers were having so much fun espessially the two dancers. They wouæd smile at each almost laughing with such a genuent joy.

And dont evem get me started on her dresses. Ooooh and that last one. It was blue and long and dragged bevind her. Red on the inside. He teased her and grapped the end at one point.

Did i mention it was amazing?

Very sorry, vert tired

Goodnight

... Fine I'll stop crying

hey, don't cry. marbled polecat, ok?

Beautiful

There are so many theories about Columbo’s wife not being real (she’s a complete fabrication, she’s secretly his boyfriend, he’s actually talking about a very opinionated cat, etc) and I love all of them but tbh he really gives off major “out of touch but super supportive straight man with a trans wife” vibes.

His wife was one of his guy friends for a while and when she finally came out to him he was like “Oh, wouldja look at that! This is VERY convenient. See, I’ve never been into guys myself. Nothing against fellas who like that, just not my cup of tea. So I’ve been trying to figure out for ages why I want to ask you out on a date. Confusin the heck out of me. Again, nothing against it, just never something I’ve been into before. I was having a whole identity crisis over it, Yknow. But I guess that clears all that up! Whaddaya say to dinner?”

This is now my new favorite best friend duo

These!

I love how humans have literally not changed throughout history like the graffiti from Pompeii has people from hundreds of years ago writing stuff like “Marcus is gay” “I fucked a girl here” “Julius your mum wishes she was with me” and leonardo da vinci’s assistants drew dicks in their notebooks just for the banter and mozart created a piece called “kiss my ass” so when people wish for ‘today’s generation’ to be like ‘how people used to’ then we’re already there buddy we’ve always been
