The right-wing organizing around the Lindsay Clancy trial is growing and it’s frightening. A lot of people overlook these culture wars revolving around women’s issues, because, well, they’re women’s issues. But the right doesn’t. It’s how they regained such a massive cultural foothold.

When a good and decent person leaves this world, I think the best thing we can do to honor them is to try to put even more goodness and decency into the world. It's not that we can replace them or their contribution. It's just that we need it all the more now that they're gone.

Transgender rights are not a permission—they are the right to live itself 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Existence doesn’t need any permission, you know. Why does the world treat something so simple as if it were optional? It is the baseline of being human ♡ Chiitan will keep raising their voice.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I really hate the smugness of commentators in response to the ground beef issues. "This is why you should be vegan!" "Glad I've been a vegetarian for X years!" Lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, blueberries, and alfalfa sprouts are also contaminated. Food safety affects all of us.

I was looking forward to getting on Overwatch tonight but I just found out Lifeweaver was removed from the game due to a bug. If anyone needs me, I’ll be sitting in a corner and grumbling.

Discomfort is an essential part of growth and wouldn’t it be so embarrassing to be the exact same person thirty years from now, in a totally different world, because you were so averse to discomfort?

Once you start noticing how the incapacity to handle discomfort affects how people live their lives it's actually pretty shocking how it ruins pretty much every conceivable aspect of existence. Interpersonal relationships, romantic and platonic. Career and education opportunities. Your politics Your willingness to go anywhere. The kind of food you eat. The kind of art you expose yourself to and your ability to read it. It's never just one thing, it touches everything, and once you notice it it's like suddenly being able to see germs or something. Just this horrific catastrophe people look at you askance for screaming about. As I grow older and see what became of my friends and peers who could not learn to handle discomfort, the more I'm like. This is a genuine societal issue

Increasing my discomfort tolerance has also been one of the greatest assets to improving my mental health.

It would be cool if the FBI would actually do something useful for a change and start investigating the lynchings of Black people that are becoming an epidemic across the South. The world's purported preeminent law enforcement agency sitting on its hands as this happens makes me physically ill.
