“Many of you in the middle class are opposed to socialism. You still think there is some chance for you under capitalism and you fear that the socialists will take what little you have and divide it among the shiftless and thriftless. You need not have the slightest fear. The socialist has no use for your small capital; it would do him not the least good. He is after the earth, the trusts, and the machinery of production. Besides, soon you will have nothing to divide. When the big capitalists get through with you, you will be ready for us. You may not be ready yet, but you are ripening very rapidly. When you have been stripped of what you have, when you have become proletarians, when you have become expropriated, you will be ready to join us in expropriating the expropriators.”

But what if it’s true

it still doesn’t help. you can call yourself as many names as you want, but it won’t make you a better, happier, healthier or kinder person.

punishment doesn’t work. only positive reinforcement does. be kind to yourself and get better.

ouch, shit, you right you right

Talk to yourself the way you talk to your dogs, because you should love yourself as much as you love your dogs.

This.

It’s genuinely worrying to me how often white supremacist misogynist dudes have a weird Viking obsession. The Vikings did not agree with you. Stop dragging the Vikings into this.

Right-wingers: We should treat the Muslims like the Vikings did!
Me: You mean travel thousands of miles to strike up profitable trade deals with them in their own countries and establish mutually beneficial business arrangements?
Right-wingers: Wot?

Move to a predominantly Muslim country, convert to Islam, and become famous makers of cheese.

I said this from the start. Before they adapted porn when it was clear it was a major functionality of the site, the same bots were advertising their links via fan mail requests to play games. Totally SFW. and then as tumblr grew in popularity and, for better or worse, became known for it’s lax rules on porn and nsfw content, they converted to that. Porn was never the issue. It was not having captcha or other identifying stopgaps when signing up.

But we know this isn’t the reason. It’s because they have to follow FOSTA/SESTA now.
