if i roll up to a punk show and someone’s jacket says fuckin “CABBAGE” across the back, that is immediately my favorite person in the building
I was at cat lounge/rescue/adoption place in my area recently (not to adopt, just to pet the cats) and one of the cats, a maybe ~7mo female tabby with a slightly fucked up ear named Maggie, after spending most of the time I was there hiding in a corner, decided she liked me, came up to me, sat down on my lap, and refused to budge. One of the staff members came up to say “hey man you’re at your time limit, but I can see you’re in a situation here so just… whenever is chill”
some of my students are the kids of the significant Indian population in my area, and every so often the subject of England will come up in a lesson. those kids have some harsh words for the english. most of them have living relatives who remember the 40s famines there.
and yes, shit talking people who have societal power is generally more okay than doing the same with people who don’t have societal power. “racism” against white americans is way more toothless than racism against, say, black americans.
weirdly, this meme has a way of coming across my feed every time i am short on the stuff
