Meme fact: hummingbirds are actually just Australian mosquitos that have become invasive species around the world.

Yup. I made myself an alt account with heavy filters (and new ones being added whenever something shows up I can’t deal with) for when I just can’t handle the brunt of reality.

I like to think of it like a broken bone. Yes, your overall health is important; no one is questioning that. But if you go into the ER with a broken bone and the doctor tells you that they’re going to ignore your injury in favor of telling you to take your vitamins, they’re an asshole who doesn’t care about your pain or healing your injury.

Systemic racism is the broken bone. No one (except, perhaps, assholes and billionaires) disagrees that all lives have value. Saying “all lives matter” in response to “black lives matter,” though, is saying “let’s wilfully ignore the problem because I am clearly okay with the status quo.”
