My hot take is that there is no shortage of resources for help and mental health for young men but young men are just generally not interested in any process that entails them accepting the slightest bit of accountability for their own actions and flaws, so that’s why radicalization pipelines are such a popular alternative

#andrew tate does not exist because the left doesn’t value young men#andrew tate exists because the left tells young men ‘your pain is valid and so is the pain of other people’#and they go 'other people? can’t relate’ & choose to follow the influencer who tells them that all their problems are somebody else’s fault#it’s easier to blame women/cancel culture/the left/people of color/immigrants/greta thunberg than do an iota of introspection

Hey.

I’m serious when I say I think the sentiment that kindness requires “zero effort” is harmful.

The idea that kind is a thing you can be innately, without having to think or feel anything about it, leaves a gap in the fence where the other idea “if I have unkind thoughts or feelings, I am by nature a bad, unkind person” can slip through.

Listen. That’s bullshit.

Being kind to other people means paying attention to the effect your words and actions have on others, caring about it, and trying to make those effects better. That’s work.

If you have a nasty thought about another person that annoys you and you contain the impulse, hold your tongue, and let it go? That was effort.

If you took time out to really think about something you wanted to say and make sure it would have its intended result without causing accidental harm that you wouldn’t have noticed if you went totally off the cuff? Wow, that took some work!

If you were tired and angry and full of hatred but you still did the dishes so your housemate has something to eat their breakfast off of in the morning, that wasn’t easy.

I don’t think there are magical “kind” people who never have a mean thought and are always selfless and pure. That would be exhausting and impossible.

I’m not a “nice person,” I’m a nasty, bitter, angry, sad person who tries to have good leash manners, control my worst impulses, and not jump on strangers because they don’t deserve that shit from me.

I don’t always succeed, but I’m trying. I’m trying and it’s worth it.

jane fonda got arrested the third week in a row at climate change protests. this time with ted danson

Legends only

For everyone complaining about how these two can get arrested and it won’t affect their careers, you’re right. It most likely won’t hurt their careers. That’s why they keep going out and doing it. They’re using their platform to their advantage. They’re both white, of an older generation, and famous enough to be recognized. They’re holding their generation accountable and making an effort to show up and enforce change. This isn’t them advertising a TV show or some bs, they’re there to help

This is a very good way to use your privilege.

Jane Fonda has been involved in protest since the America Vietnam war

Jane Fonda’s activism did, in fact, hurt her career, and she’s out there risking it all again. She wasn’t just involved in protest since the Vietnam war (tho that is what did her career the most damage, some lawmakers were actually calling for her to be tried for treason over it)

She was already under government surveillance before that for her support of the Black Panthers and her show of solidarity with two separate first nations re-occupations (Fort Lawton and Alcatraz). 

She’s not being silly or doing a bit or pulling a PR stunt. She’s just not letting the cops scare her. Because this is far from her first rodeo.

Jane Fonda’s mugshot from Nov. 3, 1970.

She was arrested on trumped-up drug smuggling charges, which an officer later admitted was their only way of booking her because god damn Nixon wanted her arrested for her anti-Vietnam War activism. The FBI and the CIA, and the NSA had been surveilling her for months without her knowledge.

If there is any celebrity whose activism is not empty lip service, it’s Jane fucking Fonda.

i saw the words “ur not the first person in your lineage to be queer” and it’s rocking me to my core. how many generations down the line did one of my ancestors feel the way i did, feel differently than i did and so damn queerly it was a crime? how many of us were there? did they have hope? did they find peace? i don’t know. at the very least, maybe i am proof their identity was never wasted. reincarnated.

Being in love with D'Arcy Carden since The Good Place and then seeing her play this immensely gay character on A League of Their Own is not what I deserved or expected but I am so grateful for it

Greta is so worried about everyone else outing her but:

• Her face when she first meets Shaw
• Licking her lips when Jo and her are teasing Shaw
• The way she stares at Shaw after watching her almost crack a homer on her first swing and sighs daaammn
• Watching Shaw run the bases very closely
• Looking for her in a room/ watching her
• Lying in a field with Shaw flirting and giggling while their teammates are maybe 10 feet from them
• Jumping to her defense all the time and always appearing around Shaw (Lupe calling this out is hilarious)
• So much heart eyes
• Ooooooh (y'all know)
• She pulls Shaw into other rooms so they can be by themselves more than i think friends do
• They’re always gone together at the time

Girl, lol, the call is coming from inside the house
