I believe in communism. Rom-communism, that is. Point is, fellas, if all those attractive people with their amazing apartments and interesting jobs, usually in some creative field, can go through some lighthearted struggles and still end up happy, then so can we. Gentlemen, believing in rom-communism is all about believing that everything’s gonna work out in the end.

I was planning to drop the items from the linked tweet thread onto this post, but there are SO MANY new bills that it became a wall of text - line after line after line of incredible things Minnesota has enacted in a single session.
- Marijuana will be fully legal starting in August, but the bill also wipes past criminal records and sets up marginalized communities to benefit from the new incoming profits.
- voting rights are restored immediately after leaving prison, probation is capped, and phone calls for prisoners are free now.
- there are so many labor rights being added i can't begin to list them. an end to non-compete clauses, paid sick and family medical leave for the WHOLE STATE, unemployment for seasonal education workers, safety regulations for workers in warehouses and nursing, establishment of minimum wages for gig drivers!
- carbon free electricity by 2040
- cutting child poverty by 1/3 immediately
- price caps for high cost pharmaceuticals
- more funding for public transit, public defense, education, homelessness prevention, and the removal of ALL lead pipes in the state water system
- roe v wade is codified, conversion therapy is banned, and other state's anti-trans bills are blocked for anyone receiving gender related care here.
- undocumented immigrants can get drivers licenses and basic healthcare through the state
- improvements to our already robust voting rights
- basic gun safety laws, like background checks and red flag laws
I'm.... actually blown away. the political landscape often feels so hopeless, but the DFL pulled themselves together, getting every member on board for these changes - real changes that are going to protect health, keep people out of jail and housed, and improve work conditions massively. this should be a beacon for every other state democratic party - change doesn't have to be incremental. things can get better and they can get better right now. get crackin'.
The other day I asked one of the staff at school if his cultural food was good and he said it was pretty mid. That got me curious.
i'll make a bigger post about the whole situation + more ways to help another time but i can't put this off any longer if you or anyone you know in southern california can house me for a month for $1k or less, please contact me i'm a mentally ill + disabled trans man and i'm getting kicked out soon by my mom's abusive bf
i'm putting most things in storage, but i'll have two suitcases, an overnight bag, my computer, and either a monitor or my medium size flatscreen tv (which i use as a monitor) with me if that's not too much, unless you already have an extra monitor lying around that i can use. i can also pay for my own food i have nowhere else to go aside from hotels that'll really eat up my savings fast and won't give me much time. i've just been in this situation too many times and i'm really scared please spread this post if you're unable to help. and please don't tag this as s!gnal b**st, m*tual a!d, or anything that'll get this post hidden by tumblr
social pressure on people to disclose trauma to justify their actions is bad. just straightforwardly bad. it’s incredibly wild to me how normalised it is to talk like it’s ethically or politically good to require ppl to tell you about horrible experiences they have or haven’t had before you’ll let them talk about abuse or something

The wonderful Glass Octopus. Living at depths of around 3000 ft and only being about a foot long, these strange little creatures are rarely seen by scientists.
It’s especially relevant to reframing the situation. “I’m so sorry” is showing sympathy and compassion, yes, but it still frames the person as the passive victim. “Congratulations” is important because it reframes the situation to be about the person’s agency and celebrates their choice to get out. We should have parties when a person gets out, not pity.
