This goes for IRL people and orgs you might have this experience with as well. Even for people you just realize are going in a different direction than you. Something can be really significant. That doesnā€™t automatically warrant a lifelong commitment.

I was thinking about my personal life and my company and trying to articulate what I want and donā€™t want from growth. The first painting shows a reactionary growth process. The second I was wanting to be more organic and accidentally ass backwards painted my way to a flower. šŸ¤£šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

Yesss. It took me a long time to realize that, for some people, safety lies in a lack of agency.

Yes. Part of this is because of fear, but also part of it is because of training. White women are systematically kept from experiencing consequences, which would teach them how to live in discomfort and create change. Two things capitalism and patriarchy wouldnā€™t survive.

Did someone on here call Jojo Siwa "Chappell Roan's Waluigi" or did I dream that?

Exactly and then you deride anybody who says that the system of cascading punches isnā€™t just the best thing ever because you were promised you could punch a minority twice as much as you were punched.

I also see this in places where there is an arbitrary hierarchy. The people in the middle will viciously defend their shitty middle position from the people they believe should be at the bottom when, in fact we could all just be free instead.

sometimes I do feel despair about how the accepted viewpoint of so many people I once trusted is now indistinguishable from the conservative takes we all decried early pandemic of "well, high risk people are going to die anyways" and "disabled people should just stay home then."

My toxic trait is that I literally believe that recycling is a psy op started by the government to stop us from caring about AIDS. Think about it. Every time we start to develop empathy as a society, weā€™re distracted by recycling. The latest was plastic straws and shopping bags b/c of BLM.

Buy Local when you can and keep that money circulating in your community. I get to buy amazing coffee from Cunningham Coffee Roasters here in Portland. I order the 2-lb bag "with art". You give them a topic and their 12-year-old kid creates art on your bag!

Itā€™s 2026. Theyā€™re rebooting Guess Whoā€™s Coming to Dinner again. Itā€™s just called Dinner. A while person cries while a Black person and an Asian person eat potatoes. For 90 minutes. Itā€™s a winner.

Communities of color and immigrant communities are used to being exploited and ran off once the gentrification sets in. Weā€™ve got culture and system that white people donā€™t have. But what happens when those support networks are chased out and thereā€™s nothing left but white capitalism?

Ok, Iā€™m getting on my East Portland soapbox for a min. The thing with Portland being so unwilling to address its blatant racism is both the harm it does to people of color and the harm it does the city as a whole. This dude has two other restaurants but weā€™ll never have this dude again.

What's the best episode of TV you've ever watched? The Equalizer episode where Queen Latifa and Jada Pinkett tie a white man to a chair, set his house in fire and steal his art as revenge b/c his ancestors did the same to a family on Black Wall Street and he tried have them killed to cover it up.

This was one person. One racist who repeatedly called in complaints on the same Pho spot for ā€œsmelling like a wok.ā€

The city listened to obviously racist ranting and fined the restaurant out of business at that location. He has two other spots outside of Portland.

This is the bullshit tho. The Dems will leave us to die so they can continue to make their money, but the Republicans will outright kill for theirs. Weā€™re all we have. Thatā€™s all I know. I need to stop watching this national shitshow and keep focused on the local one.

Iā€™m not saying liberals and leftist canā€™t also be abusive. Obviously, many are. But when some fuckhead demabro takes to tiktok demanding to see a bear terrorize a woman, we all tell him to find the help he needs. We donā€™t VOTE TO ELECT HIS ASS.

a chance to do the absolute most harm to random minorities whoā€™ve never done anything to them, even and especially if they get hurt in the process, is objectively horrifying. And also, I grew up being told my parents were abjurations. Impossible. Hardly real. And yet, hereā€™s Joe Trump voter

You ripped the heart out of me but at least you gave me visitation. I crawled a thousand miles twice a year for six years to see if youā€™d remember. What you took. What you owe. When you threw my book out the window, I should have jumped after it. And fluttered away into the sea.

When my eyes rolled in my head with the pain and the pressure, one small paw rested on my steaming arm. When I reached out for an anchor my hand landed on a soft brown ear. Both ashes on the mantle. But real and solid in the midnight of my deep dispare. And you, alive in JuƔrez, will never know.

My peonies bloomed and died and you were not here. My roses. My jasmine. Every year, and you never smelled them. Never touched a petal with the strong, wide hands that used to snatch shrimp bare out of snapping hot grease. I was boiling with infection and you werenā€™t there, either. Only the dogs.
