Everything is political. You can't win an argument with a bigot by saying your identity is political, because it's not true. We have to erase the stigma against politics. And you're not helping with that.

You can still campaign. Volunteer. Have discussions. Join a union. Participate in direct action. Attend a rally. Go on strike.

Yeah, that's correct, except you're not talking about politics. You're talking about controversy. It's dangerous for you to talk about controversy, not politics. Everything is political, and that means you talk about politics every day. Everyone you know is completely comfortable with politics, it's just controversy they don't like.

Rich people want you to use the newspeak of calling it politics so you'll be more malleable.

I have literally never seen an apolitical comment from you on this website. And you're always on the fedidrama community. Show me one apolitical comment you've made, and I'll believe you have a personality other than politics.

You're valid and @Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee is being incredibly dismissive towards your experiences. You have a right to be angry when you see privileged takes like that. You're owed an apology.

This is the same lie they told about bee society in Bee Movie

It conflates the broadest dictionary definition of “politics” with the narrow, collaquial one

Actually, it completely erases the narrow, colloquial one. I think the colloquial definition of politics is completely unacceptable to use, and I refuse to legitimise it. Words have meanings and I'm going to treat people like they used the correct ones. If they have a problem with that, they can say what they mean instead of what they don't.

Treating politics like something you can escape is a microaggression against BIPOC people whose identities are politicised every day, and is therefore racist. I'm not going to legitimise racism. If people want to act like politics is avoidable, they can go do it at the klan rally.

We should have a communist revolution.

 

"No," he said. "I've grieved a thousand times. I'm very good at healing now. A good therapist helps."

"Oh." I wondered why I'd never tried that.

 
 

Forget the grunts and moans. When a mudcrab attacks my character, I want to hear "god fucking dammit" and "fucking shitbiscuit" from my character. That's how people actually sound when they get hurt.

 

Stay safe out there, folks

 

A lot of people point out that it doesn't make any sense that Harry and Ron didn't like their schoolwork. Well I figured out why:

It's because the magic system is just as boring in-universe as out of universe. It doesn't make any sense in universe either. Harry and Ron realised Rowling's magic system kinda stinks way before we did, because they spent all day learning it.

If Sanderson had been writing Harry Potter, then Harry and Ron would have liked learning magic as much as Hermione did (Also, Sanderson actually DID write a book about a super-school, it's called Skyward, it's good)

 

Let's say I'm vegan and I need to take vitamin B12 supplements to be healthy. Furthermore, let's say I have ADHD, I forgot to take them for a month, I feel like shit, and while I know to take them now, there's no guarantee I'll remember tomorrow.

If I were to take 2 tablets today, an amount which I surely need, would my body actually absorb all the B12 it needs, or would I piss out the second tablet? Do I have to wait until tomorrow to absorb the nutrients my body needs now?
