About 3 years ago, I was taking a walk around the block. In front of me was a person with short, red (dyed) hair. This person was carrying a backpack and a binder despite it being June. I thought nothing of this at the time. As I continued walking, this person swerved to the right (towards a house I have passed many times before). I thought at first that this person was simply visiting the house, ... » Continue Reading

Something I absolutely hate is when people dismiss my opinions and concerns because I am younger than them. My dad does this a lot, and it really annoys me. Some people have this idea in their minds that because teens and children are young and have less life experience, we are not qualified to speak about certain subjects. We are often treated as though we are ignorant and/or childish for bringin... » Continue Reading
I believe that adults who grow up and shed the radical (leftist) politics of their youth do not shed their previous beliefs because they "just grew up." There are a ton of adult radicals out there who continue to believe the things they believed as teenagers, albeit with some changes (because everybody matures and learns new things). Adults who shed those politics really do so because they no long... » Continue Reading
Both the Republican and Democrat party suck. One party is downright dangerous, and the other is wayyy too passive about the most concerning issues of our time (which can also be dangerous). Biden and Trump are both awful people. The idea that the next election could be a repeat of the last one really grinds my gears. I really don't want to vote for anyone, as I don't want presidents to exist at al... » Continue Reading

Cis gays seem to assume that they are entirely safe from right wingers and their attacks on the trans part of the queer community? They need to realize that an attack on one part of the community is an attack on all parts of the community, and that right wingers will not stop at demonizing trans people. Once they have finished having their fun with trans people, they will turn around and start att... » Continue Reading
Hearing about the whole Bud Light controversy. It's so infuriating how right wingers get mad over one trans person being on a Bud Light can THAT WASN'T EVEN RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC but don't get mad about all of the other problems in this country that are actually affecting people day to day. A Bud Light can with a trans person on it is such a trivial thing to get mad about. The fact that they are ... » Continue Reading
Current events club is holding a meeting today to talk about trans rights and anti-trans legislation. I want to go so badly, but at the same time I know I'm not really in the head space to be arguing with people about the state of trans rights in this country. If somebody ends up being transphobic, I might just lose my cool. My school is generally pretty accepting, but I know that there are some p... » Continue Reading
While I think internet aesthetics can be really pretty (I myself enjoy a few of them), I really don't like them very much. I feel like aesthetics just take parts of genuine subcultures and turn those subcultures into something they're not. I hate when people use subculture names to describe their aesthetics when their aesthetics have nothing to do with the subculture they are named after. (Example... » Continue Reading
About the fascist rhetoric of modern day right wing (U.S.) politicians? Have you heard these people speak? The things they are saying are extremely concerning. Politicians aren't the only ones guilty of this, either. Talking heads spread this rhetoric as well. Tucker Carlson, Matt Walsh, Brett Cooper, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles... They are all notorious for saying extremely fascistic things. As ... » Continue Reading
Arguin with peoplez online over thingz, especially politics. I am still a very political person who writes and talks about political/social justice topics in real life and occasionally makez posts about political subjectz online, but arguin with right wingerz in randum comment sections was hurtin mah mental health. It was when I started to truly listen to the perspectives of people in marginalized... » Continue Reading
