Went to get a kebab and now they have transitioned to loudly discussing feminism. One dudebro is accusing a girl of being "racist against men".
Midsommar in Sweden. Neighbours are blasting Caramelldansen.
The most comprehensive link to donations, petitions, resources and information. Silence is compliance in violence.

“Good cops”
Got a bit caught up in the moment with all the "fuck Simon" posts yesterday after the episodes dropped. I kinda forgot about the part in book 2 when Grace told Jesse that they were going to wheel MT, and then proceed to sic the Flecs on her after she turned out to be too much of a hassle. And all this because they were trying to separate her from Jesse with no regard for his thoughts in the matter, or with any remorse for her at all. At the end of the day, Grace and Simon are both terrible people with a long way to go for any real redemption, and we've only been reacting so strongly against Simon because we've actually seen him kill a character we cared about.
Ultimately, I am still hoping that Simon won't go the way of Mace. Maybe he won't be fully redeemed, but I am still hoping for a change of heart, if for no other reason than because I'm not especially fond of "irredeemable" child characters. And in this case particularly I don't think I'd like it if they made the most explicitly traumatised character a straight-up villain. But we'll just have to wait and see.
Here's a fun Pride fact; Sweden has no countrywide standards for when it is celebrated. Back in my hometown it was in May, and in other parts I've heard it's celebrated in July. I always found that odd.
Well, having recently moved, I was asked a few weeks ago whether I was coming to Pride the coming weekend, and I'm like; "It's February. We live in the Northlands. There's snow and ice on the ground and we get 15 degrees below zero on a good day. Why do I have to be gay in this climate?"
Anyway I'm curious, do other countries also ignore "International Pride Month, or are we just being weird?
this tweet is such a perfect encapsulation of what the brain trust on twitter considers activism at this point, i swear to god
she was a child
she was a child trapped in a legendarily abusive studio contract where she was being pumped full of drugs and sexually abused by producers
what is the point? “think about this the next time you watch the wizard of oz”? and do what? this tweet is so pointless
not for nothing but she was also a lifelong advocate of the civil rights movement and held a whole press conference to denounce white supremacist terrorism after the 16th street baptist church bombing
there are politicians who did blackface in office right now
