Rant - The 90s and The Simpsons
I used venerate the 90s but more and more I am noticing how a great deal of it had humour that referred to homosexuals in a negative way, like some of prank calls Bart made were homosexual reference and they were meant to mock Queer Community. There was never a golden age of that show.
Tokenism became prevalent in 90s as well which was never genuine and just meant to appease us. Really, as much as I grew up in the 90s it was Dumpster fire and looking back I was never my true self so I was not even truly happy, nostalgia clouds the mind.
90s humour made LGBT+ the butt of so many jokes and we allowed it, even laughed, now we look back on disdain and wonder why did we allow it.
you know how everyone says the thing that makes humans special is our cultural knowledge?
By that measure, Orcas are humans.
So why do we still have them isolated in tanks?

@melissasage @cambrian_era I just saw that as part of a The Onion video. So much for "radical"

@And_Zoidberg it’s nightmarish. you stand hungry at grocery windows and know they’re just gonna throw it away and by golly when they do you hope they don’t lock the bins, or you’re gonna stay hungry. you find yourself without reliable shelter amid neighborhoods of FOR RENT signs in front of empty homes. normies cannot stop looking when they think you can’t see them; they pretend you do not exist when you can. warehouses of vital meds get stuck behind procedure and inaction, creating shortages.
@garbados Artificial scarcity in the name of profit is one of the most egregious things about the modern world
No one needs to starve. No one needs to freeze. No one needs to die. There is enough for everyone. More empty homes than all the people without them, more food than grocers can even sell. The labor and the materials to end scarcity exist now. It is not a far-off dream. We can end scarcity in this life.
