How tf do old ladies have a bunch of cats and crochet all the time?? Whenever I try crocheting my cat just totally attacks all the yarn and makes it gross to touch because it’s wet and yuck
I always get asked if I’ve got music in my head because I’m always moving my head and tapping, but in truth I’m just stimming. I say yes.
I really don’t trust the major support for Luigi Mangione. There is a certain group that people call elite, globalists, rich, evil, oppressive, etc. even though they aren’t, duh. And I certainly don’t trust Americans with that. Vigilantism shouldn’t be encouraged. The second you say “it’s okay for person A to kill person B because this or that” you’ve gone too far because that allows A LOT based on different people. I think of Emmett Till (“its okay for us to do this, because he was being sexually aggressive,” which we know now that he actually wasn’t). But horseshoe theory I guess. No one has the right to play God (why I’m against the death penalty as well!). Another thing, being violent, as a form of political resistance, shouldn’t be supported. As a queer (white) person, that’s something I really am inspired by as part of the Civil Rights Movement, and wish there was less violence in the history of queer political resistance, since it was non-violence that changed so much in America with civil rights. Now there’s even support for the cyber truck bomb guy. Which, I know no one was killed except for himself, but c’mon, really? Why don’t we all go back to what we learned in elementary school? You can’t fight fire with fire, two wrongs don’t make a right.
A school project, but one I’m quite proud of
I say, "Ableism is bad." You say, "Ableists all live in their mom's basements and don't contribute anything to society!"
I say, "Misogyny is bad." You say, "Fuck all men."
I say, "Homophobia is bad." You say, "All religious people should be shot in the streets."
I say, "Racism is bad." You say, "White people are the devil."
I say, "Murder is bad." You say, "I hate any idiotic bitch who disagrees with this."
I say, "Body shaming is bad." You say, "Everyone who disagrees is ugly and has small dick energy."
I say, "Fascism is bad." You say, "Yeah, kill all nazis!"
Go, go and meditate on why these things are wrong and don't come back until you arrive at the answer.
I know you’re mentally ill/neurodivergent if you change your Home Screen every couple of weeks

and lastly, some things that happened during the inauguration:

elon musk, the wealthiest person alive, who has been given his own vaguely-defined US government agency, did a nazi salute on stage at the presidential podium. neo-nazis are already celebrating
This was 100% a dogwhistle. I don’t believe they bought the sword in a “Nazi way” but it’s definitely a joke to them to show something Ethan will “crash out” over and then they get to call him paranoid again. Definition of a dogwhistle.
You can tell that Percy Jackson is Jewish in the same way you can tell that Will Byers is Jewish: both their mothers are so, so incredibly Jewish.
Back in ninth grade I was failing geometry because the Pythagorean theorem made no sense to me. Now I’m in pre calc and it’s the only thing I understand.
