threads like this make me sad. not a 'poor me' thing but just an objective fact
we needed cognitive heuristics to protect us back when we were inventing fire and the wheel, but now I see it as a hindrance to human existence. Difference need not be scary, it's just different. Someone or something that grants an opportunity to learn something new.
People are people and I love them and really think we should as a species celebrate our shared existence as it is very fucking fleeting. Not asking for utopia, just for those who can-be kind to those you meet
Peeps are second in line after cats and slightly ahead of smokes which land a solid third place on my top 5 best things ever list.
we're all trying to figure out this world, wish we'd share more of what we have in common over ways in which each of us differ.
one of my closest friends is the whitest, most wasp-looking chica one could fathom visually and I adore her because of who she is. her presence in my life is a treasure.
can you imagine what I would have missed out on if I judged her just on her appearance?
now off to go dancing and again be a visual point of difference compared to everyone else and absolutely none of us will give a fuck
it's important to recognize difference, just why be scared of it?
happy weekend y'all
