@peterquirk It's one of the main reasons that BIG Changes only come when 3.5% of the population gets to certain realizations at the same time. It's ESSENTIAL that we all start getting to the point in our hearts where EVERYBODY deserves to live a life where they're able to Have Dignity, Feel Safe and to Feel a Sense of Belonging.

And then there's THIS glorious fucking song.

I miss the days when I could dance for hours at a time, just letting the music take my body where it wanted to go... Getting drinks knocked out of my hand by a stray volleyball.

I MISS TRACKS. It was such a glorious fucking magical place. SO grateful it was a part of my life. #TracksDC #TracksGayBar

Tonight's vibe.
Fuck, there really are things I miss about my clubbing days. 😕

Ultra is the all-but-forgotten true story of good, old-fashioned American extremism getting supercharged by proximity to power. When extremist elected officials get caught plotting against America with the violent ultra right, this is the story of the lengths they will go to… to cover their tracks. #politics

@Gingerbear Thank you for watching it! Truly. The more we white folks DIG DEEP into the origins of our behaviors and fears, the healthier we become to be around - and the stronger we become at helping oppressed people fight for the right to FLOURISH in safety.

Today is a high pain day, even with the pregabalin. I'm just starting God of War and I'm already yelling at my screen at his kid.
"We can try through here."
THROUGH WHERE KID, ALL I SEE ARE SPIKES.
Argh.

@NTropy_Sellers You're very welcome. May you sleep well. :)

OUR VISION: Liberation.
A world free of white supremacy, caste, patriarchy, misogyny, all the isms, all the phobias and hate. A world where all of us human beings have value, dignity, respect and all we need to live how we choose.

When we label an abuser a “narcissist,” we’re contributing to the likelihood that people are going to blame his mother – often thought of as the cause of narcissism, rightly or wrongly — rather than blame the men who socialized him. And this is especially unfair to mothers given the statistical likelihood that his mother was a victim of abuse herself – usually by the future abuser’s father.

"It’s urgent for the public to grasp how persuasive and appealing self-centered people are; to start taking proper responsibility for looking carefully into what happened, instead of just buying the denial story; and to stop abandoning the person who is speaking out about the mistreatment."

“What makes fear of crime so important as a social problem is its consequences for our society. When people take precautions based on fear that restrict their life and their children’s lives, we restrict our freedom and we do so unnecessarily. Fear also undermines the civility and trust in our communities that make civic life possible, and that’s a terrible consequence for a democratic society.” – Dr. Mark Warr

@CommonSenseGent I think a LOT of work is happening underground - lots of good, solid social movements. We just need to do our best to help and make way for a new, MUCH healthier way of being and connecting/relating to each other.
