  • I didn’t even learn about the Haymarket bombing until I was thirty. It’s like Armistice day became memorial day and no one is ever told that it was originally a day to reflect on the horrors of war and now it’s all just olive drab hero worship. We are intentionally under educated in the US



  • Because the idea that there are vegans and vegetarians is an implied accusation of guilt to people that eat meat and animal products that are the direct result of animal suffering. Some people that don’t eat animal products might be militant or preachy, but I’ve never met one. In fact I have only ever met the inverse, people that constantly berate people for being vegan or vegetarian. Having been one myself, I can say that for me and people I know it is the same reason religious people hate atheists; their existence implies that people that eat meat are wrong and therefore bad people. Studies have confirmed this. Here is an article from the BBC that goes over some of the studies.





  • Even in religious circles the forgiveness part is normally left out. The phrase often repeated is “Jesus died for your sins” without any mention of forgiveness. Since that is the common turn of phrase then this depicts children suffering/dying because of the sins of someone else.


  • When my dad died my wife, myself, and our two boys, moved in with my mom because she has no idea how to take care of normal life stuff. My brother lives in the same property as her and couldn’t be bothered to check in on her because he was, understandably, distraught. For two years of living there my mom leaned on me but only ever asked me once how I was doing, my wife only ever complained about living there and never asked how I was doing, yet insisted we should stay if I suggested leaving. I have three super close friends, and I don’t think I would have made it without them.

    Check in on your friends, even when they’re not going through something traumatic, because you may be the only one who does.
