"the sharper the teeth, the gayer i am" —me, 2kearliertoday

@fluxom_alt i mean lbr that's way more realistic??? like, humans will fuck anything Anyway

Part of why we say "solidarity not charity" is because the way charity is typically presented gives moral superiority to the givers - and often, moral inferiority to the receivers (or sometimes "takers," if they decide to be particularly transparent about it)

Truisms like "it is better to give than to receive" implicitly contain "it is wrong to receive help." It's wrong to ask for the support you need, to want it, even to accept it when offered. Panhandling, for instance, is often portrayed not just as shameful, but immoral - even greedy

Solidarity, and especially mutual aid, are meant to reject that dichotomy. Everyone at Food Not Bombs eats together, volunteers and otherwise, and talks to each other. Our Free Store puts "it's free because it's yours" all over its reading material - it's not a gift, not a blessing, not charity. And that makes *such* a big difference

....so, um. i had to read the phrase """"activist vacation"""" at this event i was assisting at. and, gods, i wish i could've escaped earlier. the whole thing was just a bunch of rich people congratulating themselves on being 'progressive' by uh. afaict they thought being progressive meant foisting all responsibility for political action onto the youth

there's just. there was too much of this bs to even rant about it. it was so fkn overwhelming tho idk wtf

hollering about normies' attitudes to furries & nazis 

just pissed about seeing liberal/centerist normies going "Furries have standards?" without asking themselves the following up question of "And they're higher than mine?"
