Also, Can We Not Gaslight Ourselves Into Thinking That We Make That Big Of A Difference? Like, We For

Also, can we not gaslight ourselves into thinking that we make that big of a difference? Like, we for sure do make one, and going low footprint is fantastic. But the real issue is gigantic companies and organizations that actively harm the planet around them in bigger ways than we ever could. So heat your home! Take a hot shower! Remember that we're not the entire problem, that the problem lies in the organization and society that forces fossil fuel as the only way to do it.

Trying to keep your footprint as low as possible is a great way to self-destruct.

And I'm not saying this to people who take two hour showers during international flights while shoving red meat into their mouth. I'm saying this to my fellow activists who feel conflicted about heating their home on fossil fuels even though they don't have any other options (and struggle to afford it).

Like, we can talk about how 'consumer choice' is never going to save the planet and stuff, but more importantly: You are not a sin. Your basic needs deserve to be met. You deserve to be warm and filled with food that satisfies you and you deserve to see your friends.

We are not fighting to save 'the planet', that's a piece of rock. We want to save ecosystems and plants and animals, including people. You are part of that. Don't leave yourself out of the list of creatures that deserve to thrive.

it's always drag queens this, controversial books that. But never "aragorn opening the doors and walking into the room after everyone thought he was dead" or "eowyn ripping her helmet off and saying 'i am no man' before killing the witch king" which i can assure you made more people gay than any drag queen reading a book

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point
