I Will Not Be Silent - Tumblr Posts

In Response to...

Racism, Homophobia, Discrimination, Misogyny, Inequality,

My voice will join the voices of all the others who speak out against these issues. You cannot make me keep my mouth shut. But I have to ask a question. Why, when we are all human, do we stand against each other in the first place? No group is inherently better than another. No one person is inherently more important than another. No reasonable opinion is inherently wrong. These are all social constructs. In order to fix these issues, society must change. In order to fix society, people’s hearts must change. In order to fix people’s hearts ... well, there’s not much we can do. What we can do is show kindness, show love.

That being said, I encourage you, in recognition of every protest throughout history that stood against oppression and inequality, spread love, not hate.

To anyone considering not voting because of the Palestinian genocide, I have this to ask:

How many Palestinian people do you think you're helping by laying back and inviting the GOP to crush you under foot? Self flagellation didn't cure The Plague, and it won't fix this situation either.

If you don't like the idea of voting for Harris, I doubt I'll be able to change your mind, but consider this: 468 congressional seats out of a total 535 are up for re-election THIS NOVEMBER. You want to make the government start actually representing the will of the people? Start there.

We're living in frightening times, and apathy is a very comfortable state of being, but you need to act. If you don't, who will?
