To those of us being tortured by AmeriKKKan fireworks

It seems like fireworks just wrapped up in my neighborhood, but I think elsewhere in the US it's still daylight so...

It's been a rough fucking day because (1) all the people I love are celebrating the worst entity on earth and (2) the fireworks people are detonating in my suburban neighborhood are (well thankfully were) wreaking havoc on my senses.

I want to make this post to remind you all that it's your brain, your senses, your way of processing the world, and it's perfectly valid to feel bad about the noise or any other part of the AmeriKKKan independence day.

Please be nice to yourselves today. You are valid, you are worthy of love, you deserve a break if you want or need to take one. Stay safe and take care of yourselves β™₯️.

And DEATH TO AMERIKKKA! 🏴🚩🏴🚩🏴🚩🏴🚩

All the vets in my town were begging the town to not do fireworks this year because of their PTSD

The townies called them pussies and did it anyway

Hog on hog violence, you love to see it

Had this issue for years as a kid. Didn't know why veterinarians were in the news so often.

I think vet should only be allowed to refer to veterinarians. US military murderers and genociders should be spoken of accordingly.

Do you think the people who fought against the valiant Viet Minh aren't cowards in comparison? The 19 year old crapping his pants in the helicopter as they dropped Agent Orange on Vietnamese villages? The conscript starting to have second thoughts about not doing the right thing and putting a frag grenade in his CO's tent when said CO calls in a strike that decimates a rural community? The ones that carried the secrets of the hundred other My Lai massacres that were forgotten?

What about Iraq? Are the snipers that shot children not cowards? The volunteers that were there for a Dodge Charger that saw their friends do unspeakable acts upon Iraqi prisoners, not cowards?

I'm glad my cat is relatively uncaring, my roommates cat is hiding in my room in one of her favorite hidey holes. I had to check on my friends cats since they're gone for the weekend, and they were absolutely terrified.

I really don't understand my cat. She is so weird about a lot of things (she really hates other animals, she'll attack me if she gets too upset from seeing a cat outside), but I guess explosions are just mildly annoying?

Got home after having fireworks go off too near me, I am absolutely drained; it was a private party with a very large box of fireworks, couldn’t leave and I liked the people there, but now needing a nice safe quiet space
