I'm trying harder to understand the middle east conflict and I kind of worry the whole situation is the fault of meddling rulers who have little faith in the goodness of humanity and little respect for the lives of humans. They probably don't respect their own lives or selves very much, they're probably filled with despair. I'm starting to think most people are mostly good and are not wired to murder eachother. I watch old media from the years before sometimes, like Mr. Rogers, and it makes me realize how bad public messaging has become, not many people talk nice anymore, not to get all Joker about it, but it's true. There's a lot of hate out there, and hate is painful no matter what side you're on.
To the christians who raised me
It makes me so mad when religutards try to kick me out of "their" (THEY OWN IT????) religion for being "disgusting" or "wrong". And then they tell me they'll KILL me for being one of them! So I try to leave, but the scars of religiosity are a part of me and I need fellows who share and understand these scars to exist like all humans need community to exist. For a long time, years, I came to hate religion, it made me unhinged, but it wasn't religion that I hated, it was the scumbags telling me that MY interpretation of religion was unacceptable, telling me that MY sin was UNACCEPTABLE while THEIR sins are INCONSEQUENTIAL, NONE OF THEM FEEL SHAME WHEN THEY EAT NON KOSHER FOOD, THEY ARE LIARS AND ACTIVE TERRORISTS. FUCK THEM. I'm trying to accept the religious part of me, and I can only do that when I accept that god does not discriminate when it comes to sin, if all sin is equal than a liar and a murderer can both be forgiven equally when they repent, just like you when you repent for eating shellfish.

"It’s Time to Listen to Sex Workers
Policies that criminalize sex work may be well-intentioned, but their costs fall hardest on sex workers themselves. To truly support sex workers, we must fully decriminalize their profession."
I think it's weird that I can make map posts from certain instances and I almost always get some random person from an instance I don't recognize bitching, could be a stalker with sockpuppets. I don't notice it as much on other peoples posts, which makes me wonder if this is even a real anti or a map who's just jealous of my style.
