You have to recognize your capacity for harm. You cannot omit the harm you've done to others to remain "good." Anybody can be a bigot. Anyone can be an abuser. Anyone can harm anyone at any time even those who have been harmed themselves. The world is not made up of victims and villains only, this is life, not a Saturday morning cartoon and you are a human being who can or maybe even has hurt others and you HAVE to acknowledge that to learn to be better.

[image description: semi realistic digital fan art of characters from Lord of The Rings. On the left is a near fully rendered, full color drawing of a warrior: they are carrying a rawhide shield with three different colored horses in a ledger art style, with a green, turquoise, and red horse. The warrior is wearing a fully beaded white vest with a red scarf tied in the front with a round shell tie. Their black hair is tied into two braids with red hair wraps, and falls just below their breast. They wear a striped red, plains war horse mask and a porcupine roach. Their showing arm that holds the shield is painted black with stripes going down their muscular arm. To the right of the warrior are two busts stacked vertically labeled “Eomer” and “Eowyn”, with syllabics next to the names. They both have long black hair, a hooked nose, a square jaw, and full lips, and look related. Eomer has two hair pieces in front of his ears wrapped in beads and forehead bangs tapered to a square point, and thick eyebrows. Eowyn has thinner eyebrows and fuller cheeks. end image description.]

Moby Dick by Herman Melville, chapter CXXXIV The Chase - Second Day

For every man in your camp, there are thousands somewhere in the West Indies living under the same yoke, chained in fields, pressed on ships, sold into indenture. When they see a sitting governor protected by His Majesty’s Navy, deposed by an alliance of pirates and slaves, how many consider joining that fight? How many thousands of men will flock to Nassau, join your ranks, and help you defend it?

none of y’all want to admit this but frank burns would do numbers on tumblr. “but he’d hate that it’s Woke” yes and by being himself and talking like himself everyone would assume he’s a joke account. he’d post “just because i think america should teach all those foreigners who’s boss and make sure they all speak our language doesn’t mean i can’t still be a silly goose” and we’d be like “wow biting satire on white american self-infantilization from burningeagle21 once again”

Here's every U.S. factory making bombs for Israel

‘I wish for death’ - Twelve-year-old Alma says. She fled bombing and shelling twice before the third place they sheltered was bombed, She was rescued from the rubble only to find out both her parents and all four of her siblings had been killed. She found her 18-month-old brother in an unimaginable state. Her little brother was beheaded from the rubble after the IOF massacred them.

More "M*A*S*H" fan art. This time it's the sad meow-meow Hawkeye Pierce, portrayed by Alan Alda.

It was hard to get Alda's likeness, but I feel like I got it a little. And ofc this is also based on the painting Stańczyk by Jan Matejko because of the post @mashbrainrot made. I was supposed to paint the entire thing, but I couldn't keep going, haha.
