This is the general category of fuckery that goes on and on and doesn’t seem interested in stopping.

When I see people fighting nations
I often wish them well but have no faith
A letter, penned to Canada, to stop deforestation
But I know they won’t do it, whomever Canada is
And it’s nice to see people trying but good people don’t win in this world
A judge in the states just threw out a child sexual abuse case against the Morman Church because church people “don’t have to report” child abuse
Meanwhile they’re all protecting the children from trans people
It was their father
Two innocent children were just told their abuse was legal
And the Mormans, Jehovah’s witnesses, and Catholic church have been lobbying to keep it that way
Despite good people trying to stop it
So we’re going to cut down all the trees
Raping children is apparently fine
But trans people are the problem we’re choosing to tackle right now
And that’s why the good people will never win
Because the general population of stupidville is always fighting some boogeyman instead of the real problem
I genuinely hope the world enjoys traumatised people who will probably die enmasse from heat stroke before they’re fully adults.
You people all work so hard to make it this way

It’s interesting to feel silenced,
When you’re me
Just sort of an
Oh
Okay
It used to light a fire in my stomach
Until I learned my worth to this world
My voice is not important enough to get angry over
It’s never important enough to get upset over
Just another day my voice didn’t reach
It’s really just the same thing every day
If I spoke with my true words no one would hear them
No one hears them here
Someday
Maybe someday my voice will matter
I don’t think I’ll live to see that day though
I am so much smaller than everyone else

To be within your right to commit genocide
Cause that’s a thing
The sickness these people spew
Abrahamic God said
Thou shalt not kill
And forth his people went in search of asterisks to this rule
And though he not once actually spoke up and said
Oh, yeah, except for you
They all just… Decided it didn’t matter?
The only solution to this is that they’re going to be allowed to rain bombs down
I wonder who will be left?
What percentage of Israel’s population is 2000?
What percentage of Gaza’s is 10000?
Why does it seem so obvious to me this is David and Goliath
But this is real life, so David loses
Do I sit here and mourn every thousand upon thousand of lives?
The colonized lose
Because this Earth is broken
Disgusting humans
Always trying to come up with asterisks to you should not fucking kill
Sides
Like it’s not Israel the government versus all of fucking Palestine
Instead it’s the Good Noble Wonderful All of Jewish Kind
Against evil barbaric Hamas
Oh and several thousand oopsiedaisies
Oh those oopsiedaisies
Silly people getting in the way with their lives!
They should have fled to the boarder where we won’t let them through!
Like they aren’t even alive we’ll mow them down
The death toll will be our high score
Within their right
One moment while I go vomit

How would I go back and face a younger me?
Filled with dreams of what we were going to do
We were going to live in Japan
Someone was going to love us
There was going to be a happy ever after together forever
All the things I was going to do
Travel
Learn languages
How would I face my younger self and tell them
Japan was a momentary blip
No one loves us
There is no happy ever after, just revolving poverty
All the things we were going to do
Instead we started using a cane at 27
Instead we had to drop out of school because we can’t learn like they teach anymore
Instead we live in our chair
Experiencing the world through video games
Our escape becoming our window into the outside world
How would I tell myself that we wrote a book but it will sit, unfinished, on my hard drive forever?
I don’t know
I am terrified to face the child in me whose dreams became dust

Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.
A week
To celebrate everything Earth. In the Fall.
Celebrate the harvest and the sleeping of the trees
The turning of the year
Each day a different vegetable that had been harvest will be featured
A week to reflect on how we treat the Earth and her creations
A week to think back on the summer and envision the next
Think of how we should be treating the Earth and her creations
A week to acknowledge our position to the sun and it’s going away to come back later.
Celebrate the weather we love and hate
Celebrate transitional seasons and solstice seasons
To consider our position on this gem in space
How precious she should be, how present in our lives she should be
The week should include the harvest moon.
To consider our place in this world

I used to think lying was evil
And then I counted every little like I tell everyday
I’m fine
I’m good
Oh, you know, just living!
All lies.
All things I tell people to placate them
Even thinking all that I still thought that must mean I was evil
Every time someone misgenders me and I don’t correct them and I am safe pretending to be a woman for a moment
But then I thought, I am forced into these lies
People don’t ask how you are expecting any answer
And exactly how many people can I tell my pronouns to before someone takes offense to my existence?
This society that forces us to lie to survive
Forces us to deny ourselves over and over again
Humans had infinite possibilities and they chose this one and choose to continue despite life sucking because life’s “supposed to suck”
We were not born to suffer
We were born to make a paradise
Instead we have this
And all these little lies society forces us to tell
While simultaneously being told our lies are evil.
