back in the wild west you could form a gang with 3 identical moustached men all named 'bill' & shoot up a bank or a train, and everyone would start calling you 'oklahoma jack' despite your name not being john & never having been to oklahoma

Ideal society where people love how they love and aren't shamed for it, regardless of how many partners they have

consider giving me money just because im cute. or because you want me to have snacks. or because you want part of my soul. or wanna see my soles. consider it.

you can hate the police infinitely but ultimately the police arent the core factor in oppression. the police are a symptom of a white supremacist system, and if your analysis begins and ends with the police as being a bad institution, youre probably white

sometimes there are choices like, some evil guy wants to sell you a potato, but the thing is the evil guy dropkicked 10 puppies to get that potato
now you could start your own potato farm now and have your own animal cruelty free potatoes in a year. but you are starving and need the potato now, so you're forced to accept evil guy's potato in the interest of not dying

it's my personal philosophy that you are not personally responsible or guilty for dropkicking 10 puppies if you do that

if you aren't engaging in self-criticism & self-reflection, even e.g. w/telling jokes, you will reproduce the harmful structures you were trained by. There's no 'pure' core identity that makes our speech or actions good b/c of stated ideological commitments or identities &c.

It feels harder–less fun & whimsical & cool–to have to think deeply on what the consequences of what you say & do might be for people unlike you, obviously, b/c callousness is a privilege you've got used to enjoying.

imagine thinking the christian god is cis lmao

Prison abolition means deincarcerating your thought; it means not imagining prisons and jails and retributive punishment as your immediate thought on concerns of accountability.

i'm not saying you excuse our behaviour if we fuck up but i'm saying don't instantly say 'oh this person's a bad person' because they're doing something bad and they don't know it. again if you feel you have no choice sure but the moment someone does something wrong you should pull them aside and be like 'hey, i don't like that you did or said this, please don't' instead of letting ppl make asses of themselves and then saying 'yeah, they're terrible.'
