no but if you can't explain what end you're hoping for when you ask someone to read or engage ‘critically’ with something you should actually keep your mouth shut

So you might have seen this image going around the internet.

[ID: A high school hallway crammed with shoulder-to-shoulder teenagers, about three of whom are wearing masks. End ID.]

This is a high school in my area. This was the first day back. This picture, taken by a student, went viral (ha), and the superintendent was more or less forced to make a statement. It’s long and it’s a lot of bullshit but here’s the big stupid part.

“One area where we have received a good deal of feedback is mask use in our schools. Wearing a mask is a personal choice and there is no practical way to enforce a mandate to wear them. What we will do is continue to strongly encourage all students and staff to wear masks.”

If I have to explain to you the staggering level of bullshit in this statement, then you’ve never been an AFAB person in high school. Tank top? Sent home. Jeans too tight? Home. Collarbones showing? Home. Never mind the application of out-of-school suspension, which is its own kind of bullshit that we’re not here to discuss today. If you can send someone home for showing too much ankle you can send them home for not wearing a mask.

I’ve seen pushback against him on Twitter but they’ve already proven they don’t give a shit what we think, or care about the safety of the students OR staff. Only that things look like they’ve gone back to normal.

So it’d be a real shame if people from all over blew up their phones at 770-443-8000 or used faxzero.com to send 5 free faxes per day to 770-443-8089 making known their concerns about this anti-response to a massive public health risk. Make it a national issue and maybe shame our government into acting like they’ve got a single brain cell between them. It’d just be real upsetting. I’m just saying.

Sometimes you ship villains because you like their dynamic. Other times, you ship villains because you like the "power couple" trope, or because their aesthetics complement each other, or maybe because even the nastiest scumbags of this world deserve to be loved.

But sometimes, sometimes you ship villains for the sweet, sadistic joy of taking a horrible bastard without a single redeeming quality in sight, ripping his chest open with your bare hands, grabbing his shrivelled up husk of a heart, and forcing it to feel.

My wish for all my favorite characters

hatred of terfs isn't a love for trans women, hatred of nazis isn't a love for jewish people, hatred of the police isn't a love for black people. you should always be emphasising your support and love for the oppressed before you talk about your hatred of the oppressor.
