#the us is fucked

[alex-dontknow]

in simple words:

"yeah we don't wanna end the genocide we just wanna save it for later"

The moment said genocide isn't of the white people, nobody bats an eye.

ALSO.

It's rather telling when a country who's endured an apartheid for decades can identify Israel as one, but not the huge Western powers who caused said apartheid?

The West don't want to admit what they caused and they hide behind their own romanticised history as a woollen shield.

#the US is a fucking joke #these bastards will find any way to defend a genocide because they're too afraid of their own history to grow a pair and actually stop it #the UK too. fuck the UK. #they're too afraid of their own war-torn history of genocide and ethnic cleansing to stand up against another. #imagine being a nationalist dickriding these people as they hand over thousands while the rest of the country suffers in poverty #palestine #free palestine 🇵🇸 #free palestine #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #🇵🇸 #i stand with palestine 🇵🇸 #فلسطين 🇵🇸 #israel is an apartheid state #apartheid #israel apartheid #united nations #usa #uk #the us is fucked #anti zionisim #zionists dni #israel is a terrorist state

I Know a Ten Year Old Girl

Yeah, I know a ten year old girl. She likes my little pony, doing tiktok dances, watching youtube, playing with makeup, getting her hair done, painting her nails, playing with toys, and using her imagination to play pretend.

Shes scared of the dark and is too afraid to say bad words because she might get grounded for it. She has a night light in her room and asks her mom to keep her door open and turn the hallway light on when she goes to sleep.

She tries to draw inside of the lines of her coloring book but fails miserably, but she doesnt mind. She shows her older cousins drawings of her favorite ponies, she still struggles to say big words when reading books, but she still likes reading, as long as the book has pictures. 

She goes to restaurants and orders chicken tenders and fries because the other foods are too gross, shes a picky eater. She goes to school and plays with her friends during recess, only girls of course, the boys are too annoying she says.

She loves watching scary videos but covers her eyes and only sees through the cracks of her fingers. She says her favorite color is rainbow because she just cant pick one, she says her favorite animal is the frog because she lives by a lake, so she always catches them easily, she always frees them after holding them, because she says they have to go home to their family.

In the majority of the states of the U.S., if that ten year old girl were to get pregnant, she is expected to carry the child full term, and in some states, if she doesnt immediately know shes pregnant, she cannot have an abortion. She is considered a woman in those states, and is expected to birth a child. Most states dont care if shes been raped, or if the child will be a product of incest. She needs to have the baby. A ten year old mother, a few weeks ago she was learning a new tiktok dance, drawing, and playing with toys. Now shes having a baby. I knew a ten year old girl. I knew her.

I need an episode of SpongeBob about working at the Kristy Krab that mirrors the actual experience of working in fast food as closely as possible. Where starting at 8am the drive through becomes completely backed up, and while they’re trying to take care of that; the lunch rush starts up in the lobby around 11am. As a result of this, and the fact that they’re severely understaffed, every order takes an ungodly amount of time to complete and people in the lobby and the drive through start leaving without telling anyone, leaving them with food that nobody is there to receive. And the whole time Mr. Krabs is yelling at them to go faster even though they’re going as fast as they possibly can, and SpongeBob finally breaks down and starts crying from the stress because an old lady called cussed him out for not bringing her whole order out, but it was actually on three trays and he had to go back to get the third one from the kitchen.

The US backing Israel’s genocide of Gaza and the Palestinian people isnt surprising but it just makes me deeply afraid. The government has been taking notes of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians since 1948 and it shows. Black and queer people in the US will see the results of those notes sooner rather than later, and Gaza is getting leveled.

Hey everyone. The restrict shit is not as it seems. It's literally horrible, go read up on it. It is a violation of our rights, actually. Anywho, this country is going to shit. Its literally on the brink of collapse, imo. We're going backwards, not forwards. This country is nothing. I wish I had not been born here. I have less rights than a fucking dog. The apocalypse is coming, but it aint gonna be zombies. Its us. Our 'leaders' who are good for nothing shitbags. I hate our country. Its pathetic. We're going to die here.

Conservapedia

I have recently discovered a gem of a website, which claims to be "an unbiased version of Wikipedia without the liberal censorship". It is genuinely hard to believe someone made this unironically. Here are only some quotes:

A conservative is someone who promotes moral and economic values beneficial to all. A conservative is willing to learn and advocate the insights of economics and the logic of the Bible for the benefit of everyone else.

Socialism refers to a set of related left-wing socio-economic systems based on control by a bureaucratic elite of the means of production (as opposed to individuals personally owning property). It is a failed system, ideology based on hate, dehumanization, envy, segregating people by class, and mass murder.

In the transgender page this image is given without a caption:

Misogyny is the hatred of women. Several leftists were well known to have practiced misogyny.

Christianity has always been the best way to turn one's life around, to achieve more, to overcome addiction, and to enjoy life to a greater extent. The New Testament is superb for overcoming every addiction.

The Bible is the most logical, insightful and influential collection of writings in history. It includes much that is both profound and beautiful. Biblical scientific foreknowledge has predicted or guided most human achievement.

Political pressure, however, has since made it impossible for anyone pursuing an academic career in science to even question the validity of this nonsensical equation. Simply put, E=mc² is liberal claptrap.

The Bible states that the Moon was created separately on Day Four along with the Sun and stars, while atheistic science has no theory for the Moon's origin that is supported by any real evidence.

The logic of quantum mechanics predicts the possibility of the Resurrection, akin to quantum tunneling.

Most American cities, such as Los Angeles or New York City, are ugly, partly due to the massive inner-city crime within their boundaries and their failed leftist leadership which has ruined quality of life.

Japan has a culture that is more masculine in nature than comparable Western countries.

The Bible and Christian faith are powerful methods of becoming a heterosexual, as are participation in activities like baseball and chess.

We do not allow opinions of journalists to be repeated here as though they are facts. Instead, we require authoritative support. Wikipedia presents as facts numerous assertions that are based merely on journalists' (biased) opinion.

There are also a few simply untrue facts such as Bulgaria not being in NATO, black holes not having evidence(there are pictures of them if you didn't know), gravity waves not being observed(they have been), and many articles not being updated since 2010.

I recommend reading it, as both entertainment and for psychological horror.

Living in the US is like:

“Oh boy, I’m so excited to get paid from my multiple jobs where I work over 60 hours a week! I sure hope I can afford to buy both things I need along with a few things that I want to make up for the fact that I have less than 6 hours of free time a week and that I’ll be working until I die!”

*rips open check and reads*

“It looks like I can…exist. Barely.”

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."

#spilled ink #warm up #“why did u tag it warm up” bc i wrote it off the cuff while drinkin coffee lol #btw the 30 dollar buy in for the dog walking is bc they pay the organizer a small pittance so she can #run fb ads and stuff and like she does put in a lot of work i don't mind paying her #but that's exactly what im fucking talking about like. #ppl can't afford to volunteer their time anymore and we all understand it!!! everything costs money for everyone! #like we didn't have to use to say ''do you mind paying me back for the stuff we ate'' #we used to be able to afford to feed our friends once in a while!!!
