  • my friend husband’s died

    You think you’re the only one who’s lost people?

    You think you’re the only person who’s lost someone this week?

    I don’t think you understand the severity of the situation. Take your loss. Add your wife’s loss. Add your wife’s friend’s loss. Let’s take the grief, pain and anger you personally feel, and let’s say the sum is something like 5x that amount. Try to imagine that (spoiler alert: you can’t; your brain is literally incapable of producing that much sadness juice at any one time, but let’s pretend.) Okay, now multiply that feeling by 100 times. That’s not even the amount of pain going on in Gaza right now. You keep talking about yourself like the decision isn’t something that affects the entire world. Your pain is less than 1/1’000’000’000 of the consequences that went into the consideration. You want comfort? Go somewhere else. But you don’t want comfort; you want other people to be even more miserable and you want to win because you feel powerless. I can understand that, and I don’t really think less of you for it, but you’ve still made a shit argument and I’m not going to pretend otherwise.









  • It’s the fault of everyone who didn’t vote against fascism. That’s how it works; if you are capable of voting for Kamala, but didn’t, it’s your fault Trump won.

    Kamala was the vote in favor of Palestinians, workers, and domestic minorities. If you didn’t spend about an hour to vote for her, that means you think all of those groups aren’t worth an hour of your time or you’re too stupid to figure shit out.










  • I’d rather keep up the blame game, ngl. Arguments didn’t work on the disingenuous pricks who helped get us here. I don’t care if they personally made a difference or not, I care that they were utterly unreasonable, and the change in circumstances won’t change that.

    Speaking to anyone who could’ve voted for Kamala but didn’t: I don’t care about solidarity anymore; you didn’t have solidarity with us when we needed you. Y’all are fucking stupid and I don’t want to deal with that. I realize that’s not the moral choice, but RN for the first time in over a decade I don’t care about that. I’m angry. Maybe in a few more days or weeks or months that will change, maybe not. Right now I’m focusing on making sure all my remaining friends are able to get somewhere safe if the need arises and keep hope kindled in their hearts. Maybe that means other people who need my help more will suffer, die, or fall victim to their own despair, but I just don’t have the wherewithal to make that my priority.
