Actually, yeah, everyone should have the right to a meal, housing, and the ability to have an income. These shouldn’t be privileges.
In which an angry Republican proves that capitalism is ridiculous as hell
… These are all literally human rights? I keep seeing stuff like this and. Do people not know about the human rights?
Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
Article 23.
(1) Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.
(2) Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.
(3) Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.(…)
Article 25.
(1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.
(and that’s just the basics on that topic, 22 is a good summary and 24 is worth knowing about too, and by the way since it’s currently relevant, “No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.” is article 9.)
Friendly reminder the USA have not ratified the Declaration of Basic Human Rights.
When I learned that last fact during my International Law course my first year of law school, I was OUTRAGED.
2017 and Moving In a Different Direction
So 2016 was at the least a crazy year and it basically was completely downhill from the beginning. As icing on the cake, 2016 also had to take Carrie Fisher and her mother. My point being 2016 was shit and there’s not much good I can take from it. I’ve definitely learned a lot about who I am and finding a way to be happy in bad situations though. So now I’m basically going to just talk about the learning experiences and changes I’ve gone through in 2016.
The main reason for the change of this blog is that over the course of this year starting in July I’ve done a lot of LSD. It has greatly expanded how I view the world and what I think is important in life. The only reason I bring this up is because I think that the use of lysergic acid diethylamide was critical to me maturing as a person. I have become a more humble, more thoughtful, and more empathetic person than I was even before. It’s caused me to delve into spiritualism also. I still don’t think I’d consider myself religious though, even though I did toy around with Islam and Christianity. I think that the idea of everything we see being part of the energy of our universe is a very real possibility, but I don’t necessarily think it’s there because of a divine architect. That’s how I’d put my beliefs. I’d also say I believe in reincarnation to a point. I think that we go through life as a cycle where death is our birth into a new life being born. The logic I put behind this is that you can’t be conscious of being unconscious. So if consciousness isn’t tied to a soul being alive then I think that it’s very possible that the process of death is you being born again as an infant. Maybe that sounds crazy, but in my experience tripping I feel like consciousness is way too powerful of a thing for death to stop it’s energy. Even if we aren’t reincarnated then I think that at the very least that the energy of us is recycled into the universe, and then eventually who knows maybe that energy could form life again. I’d just like to reiterate that I’m not saying this is the truth or anything because I’m still looking for it myself, but this is just how I feel after doing LSD in excess of 15 times over the past 7 months.
Moving on from spiritualism, my ethics has basically changed to giving people your time and energy in the way they need it. I think it’s important to give good energy out to people too because the universe is already full of bad energy from certain people. Just do anything in your power basically to make any situation you’re in better for those around you. If you do that then you’ll find that most of the time you’ll be happy cause those around will be. A simple tip, but it works surprisingly well.
Next up, is some advice for people in a hard situation that I’ve recently dealt with. If you live with someone who is constantly being a negative impact on you. Please distance yourself from them. Even if they seem ok. I moved in with a person I considered my best friend even though they were full of negative energy and sometimes took it out on me. I never took the brunt of it because they had a boyfriend, but once we moved in together things went downhill very quick. They would constantly yell at me and verbally abuse me. Even if I hadn’t said a word to them that day and it broke me as a person after a few months to be honest. I started smoking weed again to keep my nerves and anxiety down which had become basically unbearable and I ended going to a CSU (crisis stabilization unit) for attempting suicide. About a month after that I did LSD for the first time. It was amazing and I fell in love with it. It was the first time I had felt genuinely happy in months, and, after doing it about 3 more times, I finally had figured out my sense of place in the world along with a sense of self confidence. To make a very long story short I moved out and moved in with family in a different situation from my parents and I love my current situation. I’m free from the chain of my roommate and now I can be me after finding out who “me” is through tripping.
So to sum everything up I would say this blog will now try to promote good and peace. I mean I’ll probably post trippy pictures and stuff too, but I’m not going to let this blog become some mindless psychedelic picture gallery for people to just scroll through. I’ll also post and reblog important news events and just cool things in general, but the overall focus will be on “good.” I hope this answers questions on what this blog is and if there are any more you can send me any questions you have on here. I’ll answer as many as possible. Also sorry if the writing style of this is atrocious because I’m writing on like 1 hour of sleep and being up for 27 hours so I’m pretty tired. I just wanted to get this out before I put it off again. I’ll edit this when I wake up to make it coherent if it’s really bad haha. Also, I’ll probably write a post on the topic of LSD itself at some point if I get a lot of questions about that, but you can still send questions about it so I have material for the post and I’ll answer the questions before doing the post so you don’t have to wait on me to put it out. Anyway, I’m gonna go to bed now
Peace 🕊️
Okay, here’s the problem with the idea that oppressed groups can “alienate allies” by not being nice enough:
You shouldn’t be an ally because oppressed groups are nice to you. You should be an ally because you believe they deserve basic human rights. Hearing “I hate men” shouldn’t make men stop being feminist. Hearing “fuck white people” shouldn’t make white people stop opposing racism.
Your opposition to oppression should be moral, and immovable. Your belief that all humans should be treated with equal respect shouldn’t be conditional based on whether or not individual people are nice to you.
"I hope you meet the right people in 2017, those who will appreciate you and won’t take you for granted. But if you happen to come across people who just want to use you, I hope you know when to walk away."

abortion that late should 🚫❌
I did not know that in 7 states in America, you can carry out an abortion the day before you give birth (allows abortion at any time). That’s so fucking disgusting. And other states allow abortion up to 28 weeks. That’s not a ball of cells no more, that’s a damn baby. It’s good that abortion is legal but not the fucking late into the pregnancy 😷😷 nasty
You do know the reason abortion is carried out that late in a pregnancy is because of fetal abnormalities, right? There’s no woman that stays pregnant for 8 months and then decides “Meh, I’m just gonna have an abortion instead.”
These women are not nasty, they are not evil, they are women who were so excited to welcome their little one into this world. They are women who had a nursery set up and baby clothes bought. They are women who excitedly waited for their due date, took belly photos and updated the world on how their pregnancy was coming along. They are the women who woke up one day and felt that their baby wasn’t moving anymore. They are the women that felt in their gut that something was terribly wrong, just to have their worst fears confirmed.
They are the women who went to a regular checkup to find out that their baby is severely deformed and won’t live outside the womb, or will but only for a few days and suffer terribly the whole time. They are the women who have to make a decision to not let their baby suffer.
Women having abortions that late are not women who just decided to get an abortion 8 months into pregnancy. While that is there right to do so, know that isn’t what happens. Know that that isn’t the reality.
This is really upsetting to read but it is the truth, more people need to know this.
Something like 90% of abortions are first trimester, which is so early that the medical terminology vacillates between “zygote” and “fetus”, and whatever the name, the thing’s the size of a pencil eraser and has 0% ability to survive outside of the womb.
The remainder are performed in the 2nd trimester, generally as a result of fetal abnormality or a severe congenital defect.
The vanishingly rare 3rd trimester abortions are generally for one of two reasons:
1) the life of the mother is in serious danger
2) the fetus is either dead or dyingSo no. Women aren’t just bouncing on coat-hangers at 37 weeks for a giggle, they’re undertaking a serious medical procedure for a heartbreaking reason.
But nice try, jerk.
REGARDLESS, WHAT WOMEN DO WITH THEIR OWN BODIES IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS IN NO CASE WHATSOEVER THANKS BYE
