I cried just now thinking of you, the old you. The person who asked to just be friends... I cried from hurt I never saw within you, now with me. I never felt the space of love and sorrow, now I just ask for more grace...

I saw a post about someones plans for after the revolution, and I’m begging leftist to get serious for 5 minutes.
Y’all talk about and predict a revolution with the same reliability and trustworthiness as evangelicals talk about armageddon.
US Leftist can’t keep their shit together enough to wear masks and to help poor people get masks because they are expensive. But sure a revolution is going to happen any day now.
In the US many disabled people like myself are now homebound because we can’t safely go outside. Abled leftist admittedly refuse to do anything to change that. They are to busy posting quotes from long dead white men, about ideas those dead white men stole from indigenous peoples.
If US leftist can’t cope with something like covid, how the fuck do you expect to pull off a revolution?

I do understand the purpose of why love must coexist with grief, doubt, and confusion. I get how it all entangles into a web to promote or hinder us. Just learn the lesson.
Love is beautiful if you can visualize the entire source and cycle.

hmm. i feel like what c//a stans fail to take into consideration is that.. shakespearean tragedies were never supposed to be romantic. they were supposed to be tragedies.
i just know for a fact that op here was referring to the infamous romeo and juliet when they talked about “shakespearean tragedies”, because that's the most notable example of a forbidden romance. but the point of romeo and juliet wasn't the romance, it was the dramatization of an adolescent relationship due to family feud. romeo and juliet were never truly “in love”, they were children who were infatuated with each other, as often happens with children.
not to mention, the conflict in spop was so forced, it was more frustrating than tragic. especially at the end of failsafe. instead of having catra work on her abandonment issues and try to help adora in whatever way she could, the show decided to have her project her issues onto the person she allegedly loved and abandon adora when she was practically on her deathbed. this isn't a tragedy, it's yet another example of catra being self-centered and toxic.

Re the rabid skunk
I’m from a country town and while it’s not something I was taught in school, I was definitely taught by my parents and other adults in my life to report possibly rabid or sick animals. There is some worry about rabies and other diseases diseases rising in the wildlife population so the forest service try to stay on top of it.
It’s a little messed up that no one was taking your concern seriously. Even if it was just a weird skunk, rabies and other animal diseases are no joke and pose a threat to people and other animals.
Thank you! It's very...idk the word. Affirming? Good to know it's not just me that thinks it's like a responsibility to report potentially rabid animals, like it's just a thing you do

I watched the Barbie movie, it was a really fun, goofy movie! I had a good time watching it. I loved how many women there were on the screen most of the time, and how many interactions they had! I didn't appreciate when any of the kens were on screen, that didn't really accomplish much. But I did like they gay energy between all of them, they were so focused on each other the entire time, they all kept forgetting about Barbies completely, which I approve of.
I liked women having the chance to point out the impossible expectations in the society, even if they couldn't go as far as to name the perpetrators or acknowledge the root of it, but I get that, it was not a political movie, it's supposed to be goofy and fun. I very strongly found myself in Barbie when she steps into the our world and just starts noticing everything that's wrong with it; being stared at with the undertone of violence, construction crew failing to be female, the boards and corporations failing to be lead by women exclusively, that's what I'm feeling every day when I look around! It's wrong, and I'm glad they pointed it out.
One small thing that chafed on me was Barbie genuinely being scared of not having perfect body, being upset at tiny things like flat feet or cellulite, why would that be an issue in a female-dominated society? I would have loved if nobody blinked at it because it made absolutely no threat to their political superiority or their value. It also felt a bit odd when Barbie complimented a lady of being beautiful; at that point Barbie didn't hate the signs of aging or reality on others, but still was scared of them on herself. That part didn't translate well for me.
Wish more Barbies had lesbian energy! Weird Barbie had to cover that all by herself and she did an amazing job, but like, get her a girlfriend, come on.
I also loved Barbies and later, women, stating proudly that they know what they're worth and absolutely refusing to be humble about any of it. I loved how appearance of Barbies basically didn't matter, they were all respectable, smart, achieved, valuable and admirable community members, with agency and free will. In a female-dominated world it really does not matter, it was kinda funny that they had to look like barbies, in a world where there was absolutely no need to look like that.
Would love to watch a movie with this exact plot but everyone looks like normal woman, and there's no ken except those two that kept softly dancing when everyone was fighting, they can stay.
