i wish some people would realise that *destroying the nuclear family* means the liberation of woman as a class, the destruction of heterosexuality as the material base for the categories of gender, communal parenting, decentering romantic relationships as the only space for happiness, freedom, and spontaneity, etc… and not like……. being part of a fucking polycule and pressuring people who want to be monogamous into having sex they’re not comfortable with

Pretty sure “money can’t buy happiness” is meant to actually mean “don’t neglect emotional health and caring for the people in your life in the pursuit of more wealth than you need”, but instead middle-class and rich people use it to tell poor people “don’t strive to have financial security even though I have it”.

I want to give this post a hug

Hey if you’re schizophrenic/psychotic I just want you to know that you’re a wonderful person and that you deserve so much better than the demonization, marginalization and stigmatization you face in this society.

Please consider reblogging this/other positivity posts for schizophrenic/psychotic people every once in a while. If you have more than 100 followers, odds are that a couple of them experiences psychosis and that they rarely see positivity posts for people with their symptoms.

not to sound neurotypical but coming from a place of being Actually Fucking Crazy i can really attest to the fact that like. you CAN get more functional and you CAN get better even without meds. thats not saying that coping mechanisms will ‘fix’ you perfectly or that you should flush your pills if you have em but simple things like exercise and getting sleep at a consistent time are 2 of the easiest steps you can take towards recovery, and getting back your own life.

there’s absolutely no shame in working towards getting back or just gaining 25% of your functionality as a human being. yheres no shame in working towards getting back 2% of your functionality. its still 2% more than you had earlier. it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. you’re allowed to take little steps to help yourself and contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to shoot yourself in the foot just because you can’t run a marathon.

recovery and taking back your own life isn’t 100% or nothing. its little steps you can take when you can, where you can, to help YOU enjoy your life just a bit more. mental illness is chronic, but it doesn’t have to be terminal.

But now I’m wondering how all these facial recognition algorithms we’re coming up with now are going to take to the Bright New Transhumanist Future

Like, okay, we know Google can recognise dogs. But what about stranger things? Is anyone training these things on lizards?

Imagine basilisks specifically designed to crash these algorithms: abstract-blocks-of-black-and-white-for-heads that, like the QR codes of old, carry a hidden message in their patterning, only it’s a payload, a virus that shreds the system of anyone who tries to capture it on camera, the natural evolution of anti-face-detection camouflage. Imagine things that don’t even have faces, that don’t have an equivalent and easily-cataloguable part; people who deliberately wear mass-produced, identical android bodies, the Guy Fawkes masks of the future.

It’s a thing! Turns out, people would rather not look stupid than not be caught by facial recognition.

Somehow they look exactly like you would expect cyperpunk protagonists trying to avoid detection by facial recognition software to look.

hillarious dystopian future fashion finally makes sense.
or, all scene kids will survive 

So apparently juggalos also have this ability to fuck up face recognition tracking.

Whenever a wise guide in a fantasy show tells the hero they have to “let go of attachments” to be a hero I just want to smack them in their stupid face because our love for others is what drives us to do good you stupid fucking mentor figure.

you can just say the Jedi order

This is because it’s badly used generally as “do not love others” instead of “love without possession”. An example, is a parent nurturing their child and loving them, and then said child leaving their home to follow their own path. That’s a form of letting go of attachments. Otherwise, it’d be the parent being unsopportive of things that could drive the child away and encouraging instead things that make the child remain in their house. Same thing goes to others forms of love.

Attachments are not love, attachments are unhealthy.

The answer to “let go of attachments” isn’t not loving anyone. That’s actually still attachments. Is still understanding that the only way to love someone is by possessing them. The true answer is loving and letting go if necessary.

Hi, I’d like to sincerely thank you for being the only person to bring up the original intended meaning of the phrase “Let go of attachments” - the one that predates its use in Western Fantasy fiction - without phrasing it as a personal attack on me.

You just added this information to my post in a very polite and helpful manner and, as my bolded words up there implied, a lot of other people… didn’t.

I am personally grateful that you exist right now, despite not knowing you at all.  Thank you.

Actionable solidarity.

this was in North Carolina in response to Samuel Oliver-Bruno being baited by ICE into leaving his sanctuary church. Samuel was taken from Raleigh to George to Texas and has now been confirmed as deported. His wife is medically ill and his son still lives in NC. Here is a link to how to support Samuel and his family: https://www.sanctuaryatcitywell.org/help

I know some people who go to this church and basically what happen was that Samuel has been in sanctuary for a year. He was there because his wife was receiving medical treatment and he was the sole support. He has lived in North Caroline for over 20 years. In 2011, he moved back to Mexico to be near his family until 2014 when his wife became ill and they returned to the US. He was granted a work permit and driver’s license. In nov, 2017, he was informed that his permit would not be renewed and he was to be deported, which was when he took sanctuary in City Well church. Sanctuary means you cannot leave the church building (except under extreme circumstances like a fire or other emergency). He applied for a Deferred Action of deportation with the USCIS. He was told there would be a hearing for this at the USCIS office on Nov 23, 2018. He arrived at the office along with the pastor of City Well and several church members, who conducted a worship service on site to prove that Samuel never left sanctuary. When the hearing was supposed to begin, ICE agent in regular civilian clothing forcibly arrested him for immediate deportation, which is when the events outlined in the article above occurred.

The point is this: THE DEFERRED ACTION HEARING WAS A TRAP, set by ICE and the USCIS, specifically to arrest this man who had been living in protective sanctuary for over a year.
