Don’t be afraid to be better.. but don’t think it won’t be scary!


THIS is why "being woke" scares the poo out of so many... 

#andthen - @tuckermans 

to expand upon this a bit. And take it in some other directions (that’s Mars Jargin for I am about to ramble uncontrollably) 

their fear comes as much or more from not just wanting to change their ways or rhetoric it comes from not wanting to shoulder the guilt of a lifetime of being brutally insensitive and supporting the culture that facilitated it. 

so this Picture my brother from another mother tucker posted is correct but the sad truth is there is a Darkside to enlightenment. Exercising your empathy Carries the heavy bird in of guilt your sleep walking had shielded you from. But it’s totally worth it. 

not trying to be a drag but shedding the giant weigh of hundreds of years of societal and institutionalized insensitiveness And unintentional hurt is going to leave you sore at first.

The rock is heavy and carries slogans like “ it’s just a joke” “ stereotypes exist for a reason” and my favorite “ people are too sensitive”

But inflexing your muscles in strengthening your awareness sensitivity and empathy  in shedding this weight.. well at the end of that journey you’ll feel better than ever. 

every single day I look at my past and feel like I was living in the matrix. Tossing casual slurs and stereotypes unaware and uncaring of how hurtful they were.

I guess what I’m rambling about is that the hard reboot of our brain is very taxing and the guilt and anger at your own actions isn’t always easy.

it’s a tough Three stage thing. 

The reboot:
The awakening
The rebuilding

The reboot sucks because on the other end you realize you allowed yourself to be living a lie. The reawakening sucks because you are sitting in your own dirty bathwater. In the rebuilding is just fucking hot.

it’s no different than going to the gym or recovering from an injury.

so yeah Tucker is right, it does scared the poop out of most people. It should. 

but maybe this is just The Halloween kid talking, but I am a 100,000% advocate of “scary things make better human beings”

“the Wendy Theory”

  “ The Wendy theory” is the grossest thing that has slithered out of the Internet a long time.  “ there are no ghosts. Wendy is hurting her son. “ I always thought that the “ Daniel was the villain” was is a bit creepy, but this is Fanfiction blaming the victim disguised as film theory.  “Jack’s a good guy Wendy is crazy”  It’s become A very popular topic … ya know just like all the videos about women ruining Star Wars and marvel being too woke.  The whole theory is mostly based on continuity issues that “Kubrick wouldn’t make” you’ve probably never actually seen one of his movies if you think that. The worst part is even if the theory wasn’t gross it’s secondary evidence predicated on stuff we don’t see.  I could write about this for five hours but man is it gross. let’s not forget about the fact that the source material is decidedly a ghost story. Let me just lay this out there Johnny was being a dick ( he was a shitty boyfriend and a better boy came alo...

Think

 “Of the powers, the only vote that matters Silence means security, silence means approval” - Michael stipe  In the last week few days I’ve been told, that by pointing out awful racist things that awful racist people are saying I’m just “feeding the Trolls” “ shining light on them just gives them power” First of all a problem never goes away by ignoring it. The theory of not confronting them is right in the fact that you’re bringing a BB gun to a battleship fight. No matter how eloquent you are, no matter how correct or well stated you’re not gonna change one of these monsters minds let alone a whole global herd of them. But I think they’re missing the point. The couple (see eight) people I’ve encountered This weekend.  It’s not about fighting them it’s about taking up for the people that are being discriminated against. It’s easy for me as a White 40 something-year-old person to think not defending hatred in fandom Isn’t important.. because it’s not aimed at me....
