When someone asks you to a meeting in Europe 😩

This isn’t actually a statement of fact, but I have an unshakeable spiritual conviction in the idea that ~no one is free until everyone is free. It really feels to me like giving freedom or protection or happiness to anyone in need is giving something to all of us.

No trade-offs with lentils. Enjoy as many as you want. Leave the hard choice of whether to support animal torture or the degredation of the planet behind. 🌱🙏

Guys I don’t need to hear your apologias about whether or not you personally do this. Just think about it and stop using “normie” to other/denigrate and to normalize or give cover to the othering/denigrating. If you’re not doing it already then please continue.

I’m getting to be a stickler on dehumanizing language, even in jest. Turns out using it is a really good indication of not viewing every person as a full moral entity.

“Normie” is a slur, and if you feel like you need it to express your thoughts, question your thoughts.

Actually, the ends justify the means, so it's really on you to respond with the right ends to my means 🧐
