Basic Fucking Kindness

activism, fascism, minorities "im pretty ok with white nationalists never knowing a moment of peace. "but what if that happened to you?" that would be bad, because im not a white nationalist "thats a double standard!" it is, nazis should be treated worse than normal people if you're fascist and antifascists come for you, you have a choice. you can give it up. you can go renounce what you said. you could just go on with the rest of your life and stop turning up at fascist rallies. antifascists probably arent going to buy you a pint and be your best friend but they'll move on. but if you're a person of color, if you're trans, or a person with a disability or gay or jewish, and fascists come for you, there is nothing you can do to make them happy except stop existing. if you're a political enemy of antifa, you can become a friend. if you're a political enemy of fascism, either they lose or you die"

a link to a good resource amidst the lack of posts regular posting in this channel will return before this month ends

self compassion, socialization "people are saying nice things about you behind your back"

unscheduled post due to unfortunate health circumstances, this channel will be paused, as admin is having a hard enough time surviving now, and will keep like that for an unknown amount of time the health circumstance is physical in nature and is not something concerning, just very very inconvenient. it will pass, and this channel will go back to posting, but it is yet unknown when that will be as of now, there is only one more scheduled post for this channel: tomorrow's post. after that, there hiatus will begin be well, and take care of yourself

self compassion "in a society that profits from self doubt, loving yourself is a rebellious act"

mental health "every person is different. therefore, our burnouts are different, too"

socialization, mental illness "just gonna say this: if someone has social anxiety and they ask you something akin to 'are you mad at me' or 'do you hate me', it isnt because they dont trust you, its because their brain literally tells them that all the time"

socialization "sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority" and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you dont respect me i wont respect you" and they mean "if you wont treat me like an authority i wont treat you like a person" and they think they're being fair but they arent, and its not okay"

minorities, discrimination, society "white privilege doesnt mean your life hasnt been hard; it means that your skin color isnt one of the things making it harder"

self compassion, mental health, socialization "your peace is more important than proving your point"

parenting, abuse, socialization "i seen a video of a mom saying she doesnt hit or yell at her child because she thinks about the future and if she hits and yells at her because she "lover her and wants to correct her behavior" then what will she tolerate from a partner?"

lgbt, socialization, abuse, self worth "i think something that doesnt get talked about enough is the way that being gay can put you in more dangerous situations with relationships. so many times gay people are just happy that someone is interested in them that there isnt as much consideration of if that person is good for them, because hey, at least they're gay too and that worries me a lot" [admin note: this extends to not only queer relationships but also many other circumstances including but not limited to physical disabilities and mental illness]

socialization, mental health "one of the most important things, perhaps the most important thing i have learned in my life is that nice people can fuck each other up in monstruous ways."

self compassion, body "you call yourself ugly but you've only seen yourself when you look at the mirror"

extra post today: flower crown

socialization, mental health "im here if you need someone to talk to"

survivorship bias, lgbt "whenever i see people talking about the "skyrocketing" rates of people saying that they're trans, i think of this chart. they used to punihs children for being left-handed and force them to write with their right hand"

society " 'kids there days have it easy' thats the point thats the point thats the whole point we're here to make it better for whoever comes after you"

survivorship bias "you ever think about how old people have no idea what "survivorship bias" is, and take full credit for being excellent out of things where they lucked out?"
