People justify centering Aaron Bushnell’s death in any way they can as if one of—if not the main—reason that this genocide has gone on for too long boils down to the west seeing Arab lives as inherently lesser than that of white lives. That is literally precisely the problem. That is literally why it should be addressed. Criticizing people’s fixation with his self-immolation over the (still ongoing) death of innumerable Palestinians is not being frivolous. This is the root of the issue.

This week someone at my library took all of our transgender nonfiction books they could find, put them in the trash can, and poured water on them.

Our library is now displaying a bunch of queer/LGBTQ+ books front and center by the entrance doors while we wait for replacement copies of the specifically trans ones.

So thanks, transphobes, from the large chunk of us in the shelving staff who are transgender/nonbinary.

Edit: Hit up my NB friend who works at another branch and they’ll be putting aside display room for trans books at that location too. We fight back harder. <3

At some point in your life, you were taught that being slightly annoying is an unforgivable sin. Maybe it was by your parents or a teacher or a friend or a bully or an older sibling. But someone taught you that being slightly annoying is a crime punishable by death.

You must unlearn this.

You must accept that all people will be annoying at some point or another in their lives, maybe all of their lives, and that this is okay. It is okay for strangers on the bus, it is okay for children in the grocery store, it is okay for people on social media, and it is okay for you.

If you ever want to truly love your fellow humans, if you ever want to truly love yourself, you must have forgiveness for being annoying.
