I’ve been meaning to watch it for a while and I couldn’t finish it, they kept saying stuff like “they are not food animals, they are companions” and “they were not raised for human consumption” while they excuse other animals to be slaughtered. It genuinely baffles me that some documentaries are outright hypocrite.

“The humane society of the United States is not against the breeding of horses, in fact we encourage and admire those who bring good quality animals into the world for the enjoyment of the American public”

-Direct quote from someone who was interviewed for the documentary

This quote genuinely made my stomach turn, the objectification of non-human animals is sickening..

It’s gonna be almost a year since I came out to my family and since they’ve been using my chosen name. It was a lot to go through, I’m fine with the current name they refer to me by but I don’t feel connected to it anymore especially in the last few months. Mainly because it’s super uncommon for a persons name in my area and it having a religious meaning (I’m an atheist) a big reason is also my neighbourhood has a street named on it and that makes me paranoid lol

I don’t want to go through the hustle of confronting them again and I feel like they won’t take me seriously :/

But I also really don’t know what I want to be called which makes me feel kinda invalid.

They’ll casually drop the n-word to insult POC and pretend it’s cool, when you explain to them why they’re wrong and shouldn’t be racist they’ll just treat you like you’re being too sensitive or it’s not “that deep” I’m just really tired of how normalised it is and how I rarely see someone standing against racism in my area. They are even racist against people who are from other provinces than thiers!

idk man life is just boring in a way that makes me tired. everything feels so mechanical

humans literally made up money, countries and race all these constructs that are so absurd when you actually think about them. we're the only species with homophobia and transphobia like what even is that

I don't even enjoy my “hobbies” anymore they just feel like another chore I have to do. everything is a chore. we didn't ask to be here we were just forced into existence and told to deal with it

I wish I never existed. not in a sad way just in a practical way. like I wouldn't have to deal with any of this. I'm basically just waiting to die

not looking for help just needed to say this somewhere
