i once had to apologize On Here, and it was so fucking painless, it felt so good

i did it, and then i internalized why what i said was wrong and how it might have hurt someone, and afterwards the people who called me out on my shit became some of my greatest and most trusted friends

everyone is all for putting people against walls and guillotining the bourgs but once an uppity brown person talks about how human sacrifice doesnt justify genocide then all the dirtbag leftists clutch their pearls like old aristocrats

My understanding of what history actually is changed dramatically when I learned that "we" thought historical warriors were predominantly male not because of studying the skeletons of dead warriors but because every time an ancient-ass white academic saw a skeleton with weapons / war trophies nearby they went "oh this one must have had a penis."

hi! if anybody knows someone in the seattle area who's queer and does taxes (especially small business taxes) professionally I would love to pay them! feel free to DM me a contact :)

Seriously you fucking nerds. No one said human sacrifice was good. Why the hell you gotta purposefully read shit in bad faith from indigenous users who are calling out colonialism then hightail it tf back to twitter to SUBTOOT FROM TWITTER. Fucking children, all y'all.

i made antlers (no ec)

@Gargron Hello, https://joinmastodon.org redirects to https://fediverse.network, which redirects to Gab (because they send false activity reports).

i’m so grateful for folks like @garfiald who share their knowledge of history and political philosophy in a way that is engaging and accessible. trying to wade through academia can be daunting asf, and i’m a native english speaker w a lot of experience reading said texts.

nothing is radical if it is not also accessible.

A shitpost pointed out that people demonize human sacrifices of indigenous cultures when those were occasional and usually voluntary, compared to large scale genocides at the hands of colonizers that are brushed over

And if what you got from that post was "PEOPLE ARE PRO HUMAN SACRIFICE?" then you're just showing your own biases how quick you are to jump to that and demonize. Where's your anger at the genocides? Where's your anger at people still being mistreated

Silly to me to have missed the point / gotten mad about only the first half of the offending post bc just proves it right

all things are just cw for your body

im gonna give this one a "raised eyebrow" out of ten pinocchios

ok so, if ever you place a houseplant ANYWHERE in your dnd world, be aware that it could at any moment become a major NPC due to the existence of the Speak With Plants spell

anyone telling you that you need art school to be a good artist is a dipshit AND has no rights

Free speech is an abomination. Free speech is oppression.

Hate speech is an abomination. Hate speech is oppression.

Fair speech is the only true path. Punch Nazis before they can speak. It's only fair.

‪love to run to twitter and whine about the poc of mastodon like you werent mutuals with the ppl involved that were open to talking with you. its fine to come here and boost my jokes and riff on what i say but you still gotta vent about how youre racist ass homie did nothing wrong tho right

this MLK day, consider actually giving Letter from a Birmingham Jail a read. It's not long, and MLK criminally gets mostly digested through trite soundbites and quotrs. His thoughts deserve to be read and understood in full.
