Me playing with WWE 2011: Yes, let's create a story. Yes, let's have Rey Mysterio coming out. Yes, let's have *THE BIG SHOW* fall onto him. Yes, let's have The Big Show's theme.
Final Result:
*Rey starts coming out* WEEELLLLLLL, IT'S *TBS starts falling* THE BIG SHOW.
*TBS lands with a hard smack. The music promptly cuts out.*
*Cue hysterical laughter from me*

uspol, war (though not necessarily Iran related) 

You know what's fucked up? Folks who weren't old enough to vote in a presidential election can be drafted to fight in a war by a president they couldn't (and might not have) vote for. Like, I was just barely too young to vote in 2016, but now, theoretically, I could be drafted to serve in a war started by a president I couldn't vote against. Quite frankly, I find that to be rather fucked up.

There are a lot of these kinds of mashups with the bad drawing of a fish quote written along the side of my notes from that day. I found that *really* funny. (I still kinda find it funny.)

Context 

In physics 1, my professor drew a fish on the board and said "Here's a really bad drawing of a fish." My brain immediately went to combining it with a bunch of clips Jim Sterling liked to use (and combine in weird ways). You might recognize "Here's a TV that looks like an apple," and "MAKE THE BAD GUYS CRY LIKE AN ANIME FAN ON PROM NIGHT." I don't know how the "Life's good when you're a" quote ends, but that was another one.

Listen, I dislike religion but anytime you get a movement that is "Atheism for Atheism's Sake" it tends to become reactionary and just as dogmatic as the Religious people they oppose.

We need an aggressive Left wing Atheist movement that's unapologetic in its approach.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you are struggling with your transition I highly recommend the vague but great advice of “Just try things.”

Do lots of different things and take stock of how you feel. And then do more things. Listen to yourself. Trust your own psychological and emotional responses. Some things won’t work, they won’t work at all. Stop doing those things

And when you find things you like, do them more. Find more things that give you that positive feeling.

Just, don’t ever give up doing shit.

I find it especially interesting that we were raised in a culture that normalized content warnings in the form of things like the ESRB or the PEGI ratings system, and yet mock and demonize leftist spaces for doing content warnings too. Maybe it's because the way we do it encourages people to think of other folks who might be harmed in unforseen ways, and you can't have that in "normal" society because there's no money in it?

What this mockery really is is white colonialism manifesting in the form of neurotypical chauvinism.

IDK, just do content warnings, it's healthy for your soul and healthy for the community.

Remember. Western society tries hard to make us cold and ruthless. An act of kindness is an act of rebellion.

Go. Rebel.

Being able to say 'yeah and?' When your opponent is trying to deligitmize you unfairly is such a power move. It also shows that your movement is at least mostly honest about its goals. If even the warped version of the goals your opponent spits back at you seem reasonable, that's a great sign. It makes you seem reasonable.

Caption reads: The world is not divided into east and west. You are American, I am Iranian. We don't know each other, but we speak and can understand one another perfectly.

The difference between you and your government is much different than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much more than the difference between you and me.

And our governments are quite the same.
