So One Of My Tweets Kinda Blew Up. :v

Ok but like we need to make this a thing here

i know not many people would want to read a 10,000 word article about the minecraft end poem and how the author, Julian Gough, was never fairly compensated for his work and has made it public domain.

But it's a very well-written and heartfelt read, and he makes it very clear that none of this is a cash-grab and despite the fact that he is essentially a starving artist in this capitalist society, he only mentions his financial struggles despite Minecraft's huge huge success at the bottom of this article and not in the tweets so as to not dilute his message.

Anyway, I just think it'd be cool if those who are able to could support him in some way whether it be subscribing to his substack or donating to his paypal (that's linked in the article, you can ctrl + F to find it easier), that's all.

We really should recognize that our allies will not always be fully educated on what’s offensive and what’s not, but it’s still important to acknowledge and appreciate their support while educating them in an understanding way.

"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."

"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."

One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.

It's genuinely terrifying to me how many people (especially U.S Americans) fully believe that if you don't work you deserve to be homeless. You deserve to die.

They will look you dead in the eyes and tell you that yes, they believe you have to earn the right to live. You have to be considered useful enough to be deserving of basic human rights.

The propaganda and brainwashing runs deep and it is killing people.

It’s a little crazy how many people don’t think about the fact that homeless people don’t really want to be homeless and aren’t there by choice
