So they called you a bum.

By

The next time you ever call yourself a bum or let THEM call you one, remember that if it weren't for THEIR attitude, you wouldn't be needing THEIR help (or supposed help) in the first place.

It's the old-as-time tale of being forced and made to lose it all, and then often to lose it period, and then selling out in desperation... not your fault and not any weakness or incompetence of yours... no reflection on you at all, other than in the positive way of "you made do with what you had and tried to take back what you were owed by them anyway because they took it from you or caused you to lose it."
The losing the plot to find it. The being forced to sell out what you have-- all you have-- to save it. Making deals with death and torture in order to avoid them. Oppression promising to protect you from itself (or from other oppression) by "protecting" you from your own soul. Being relieved of your "duties." AKA your human rights. Being "relieved" of your "burdens"-- AKA your right and ability to talk about or think about or express or remember your human rights. Beng relieved eventually of your "duty" and "burden" of existing. Without your input and over your objections.
We all know it's happening now in America, and pretty much everywhere else on this planet too either directly or indirectly or in some other form, and I'm a little scared. A lot of people are going to suffer and die needlessly before this rights itself.

Roses Are Red, revised (had a lot of mistakes before)

By
Roberta's voicemail to Elton: Today's protest rally Roses are red, bear spray is for bears, the human you sprayed suffered retinal tears. If you need to defend yourself order some mace. If I see more bear spray I will cut up your face. Elton to Roberta: Moron. Roses are red, You're not as smart as you think. If you don't watch your mouth, you'll end up in the clink. I happen to know several cops and a judge. If you don't show respect I will beat you to sludge. Roberta to Elton: Hypocrite. Roses are red, You threatened me too. If today I'm arrested, tomorrow it's you. I have talked to your friends and I know you are bluffing. Leave me alone or I'll rip out your stuffing. Elton to Roberta: Cease and desist. Roses are red, Jail is boring. There isn't good food or even adequate flooring. If you don't stop now I will call the police. I will get your ass charged with disturbing my peace. Roberta to Elton: Protect yourself. Roses are red and I happe...

I'm back with a brand new rant about an old AND new issue.

By
The issue is this:  Don't ever call me passive and then expect to remain on good terms with me. "Passive" is not a neutral statement. "Passive" means stupid. "Passive" means incapable. "Passive" means lazy. "Passive" means confused, which basically in this case also means stupid. "Passive" means cowardly. "Passive" means not all there or vegetative. "Passive" can also mean boring, but that's the least of our worries given the other things it means. It is not a neutral term. Use it if you want; I'm not the speech or thought police. But using it on me will cost our friendship. Because just like I can't and would never force you to speak a certain way, you can't ad shouldn't want to force me to take demeaning, degrading treatment. "Passive" is the assumption that I don't have good reasons for being quiet or civil, or that I shouldn't be allowed to choose for myself whe...

You might need a new one. We all do sometimes.

By
To everyone in the world, myself included sometimes: If dehumanizing anyone is part of your religion, you need a new religion. If dehumanizing others is part of your job, then you need a new job. If dehumanizing people was part of your education, then you need a new education. If dehumanizing you is how your family bonds, then you need a new family. If dehumanizing you brings your friends closer together, then you need new friends. If dehumanizing someone is a release for you, then you need a new release. If dehumanizing anyone is a pastime for you, then you need a new pastime. If dehumanizing anyone at all, any sentient being, or everyone, or a few, or certain types, even sometimes, is your lifestyle, then you need a new lifestyle. I would never tell you WHAT lifestyle to have, just pick any one that doesn't involve or include or encourage dehumanization of anyone!
