In Italy this is a very special day, taking the name “Festa della Liberazione”.
Today marks the day when the nazi-fascists were driven out of my country and defeated.
I want to take this moment to remember all the people, men and women, that took up arms in the Resistance and gave everything they had in the fight for freedom from the oppressors.
My thanks goes to them, for allowing everyone who came after them to live in a free, democratic country, but it also goes to the people that to this day still fight in the name of freedom and a better future for the next generations.
The fight for freedom lives on, let us never allow evils like those we saw in the last century show their face again.
I wish you all a happy Liberation Day
The song I linked in the post is one of the partisans’ songs that were sung in that time period. I encourage everyone to listen to it

“Let us consider our position very carefully – let us examine the conditions in which we spend our lives. What do we see? We work long and hard. We produce endless wealth, gold and apparel, satins and silk. From the depths of the earth we extract iron and coal. We build machines, we outfit ships, we construct railroads. All the wealth of the world is the product of our hands, of our sweat and blood. And what kind of wages do we get for this forced labor? If things were as they should be, we would be living in fine houses, we would wear good clothes, and would never have to suffer any need. But we know well enough that our wages never suffice for our living. Our bosses push down wages, force us to work overtime, place unjust fines upon us – in a word oppress us in every way. And then when we give voice to our dissatisfaction, we are thrown into prison without further ado.”
My heart is heavy for Ukraine today. As always, it feels absurd to go about my normal life when others’ lives are being torn apart by the ravages of war and imperialism.
It’s important to find joy where you can in hard times. Today for me that looked like spending an hour browsing a used bookstore and buying these lovely finds. Take time for yourself, away from your phone. You deserve some peace.
White vegan types who shit their pants and cry and throw up about a prey animal being killed for food/hide/etc and then love plastic and slave labor are maybe some of the stupidest bitches on earth sorry
“I won’t eat honey because it exploits the bees :(” & where did your quinoa come from
Uh oh girls I got the pleather fandom after me for this one
I know many lovely people who don’t eat meat or limit their meat consumption for ethical reasons and even they shy away from the term vegan because of stuff like this.
A man named Wynn Alan Bruce used self immolation (settings oneself on fire) in front of the Supreme Court to protest government inaction on fighting climate change. This method of protest was made famous by Buddhists monks protesting the atrocities of the Vietnam War. Our Earth will be destroyed because saving it is not profitable. The government will not make the news of this man’s sacrifice and its reason well known, they don’t want it to be known. Destroy capitalism, save the earth. Rest in power Wynn.
Earth day got corporations out here performing environmental activism while shilling useless products that the environment would be better off without in the first place.
Happy Earth Day to all the earthlings and non earthlings alike. We’re very inclusive here.
