This is probably akin to writing down song lyrics that seem interesting when you’re high and then appear to be the scribblings of a child next time you see them, but I guess I’m just frustrated by how movements for the good of the many have been talked about and covered in media since forever.
I’m in my feels today, reflecting on the old snide characterization “bleeding heart liberal” from back in the day. Laughing at compassion is an ancient practice, but a heart that can’t be pierced is one that doesn’t work right. A heart that doesn’t bleed is empty.
Wishing you strength and the Very Good Boy the most peaceful slide into the infinite sunbeams. You are doing a beautiful thing, shouldering the pain so he can be free of it. I’m so sorry. 🩵

"6 ... it is the plain fact that nowadays there are no conservative or reactionary ideas in general circulation. This does not mean, of course, that there is no impulse to conservatism or to reaction. Such impulses are certainly very strong, perhaps even stronger than most of us know.

![In his “most notorious [job] interview,” Karp met Louis Mosley, an Oxford graduate whose grandfather Oswald Mosley was the British fascist leader during World War II and once named “worst Briton of the twentieth century.”
As soon as Mosley sat down, Karp began reciting from memory, for several minutes, one of Oswald’s 1939 speeches demanding Britain seek peace with Nazi Germany. When finished, Karp executed tai chi moves and walked out without saying goodbye.

Crazy? Would a crazy guy do this?!?
The idea that making the world better is somehow a bridge too far is so deeply cynical and sad.

“Not all men” can just fuck right off.
We must strip men of their rights to be given some sort of deferential “loving family man” sane washing for their actions, and call them what they are - murderers, killers, predators.

A bounce house with razor sharp teeth and tentacle wings flying off the ground. A family runs away in terror. The father shouts, "it's taking flight! The son shouts to the family dog, "Sparky! Wait for us!" Sparky shouts back in perfect human language, "Nope!" The text reads: Never use a bounce house if it's windy. Wind speed should be no more than 15 to 25 miles per hour. Make sure your bounce house is properly staked and anchored on a flat, even surface.
It's Bounce House season.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.
