The only thing worth hating is hatred

If you're in a tiny minority or a minority within a minority or you have different experiences from intersectionality, I'm on your side. I want to hear everything, absolutely everything about what it's like. I'm here to listen and to tell ignorant people exactly why they're full of shit. Radfems and other bigots can rot in the hell they make for themselves. If you distrust all men... We need prison reform and prison reform is not enough. Stop enabling cops and immigration to murder, terrorize, and enslave! Intersex teens are coerced into taking hormones they don't want or need. Genital mutilation with appalling surgical complication rates is legal in the US and practiced routinely on intersex infants and children. Let them grow up and decide for themselves. Stop the publicly sanctioned medical abuse! Immigration status and homelessness is bullshit made up by territorial assholes who stole that land from natives. Sleep in that unused building! Take a share of food! Have friends! Be safe and warm! Participate in ways that work for you! People with disabilities like I/ID deserve love and safety. Stigmatized mental illnesses like BPD, NPD, ASPD, DID, schizospec, and chemical dependency deserve compassion. Narc abuse is stigmatizing language. Just call it abuse! Addiction and overeating are just unhealthy coping skills and they don't deserve to be demonized while others get a pass. You are not wrong or bad for relying on them! Transfems are great, transmascs are great. Every trans person experiences misogyny. Stop being exclusionary! I'm a gen X autistic old fogey coming back to tumblr ten years later and it all works differently. Don't reblog if you're who? Still figuring it all out... Cut me some slack young-uns, I'm old enough to be your grandparent!

(Mimicing another person) "Oh but what rights have you lost?"

(Normal voice) Shut the fuck up! Shut the fuck up! I'm gonna do this once and only once because I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I know you vote and act exclusively out of self-interest and greed but there are those of us with souls who don't.

I'm a white straight christian appearing male citizen from a middle class family. People who look like me have had the same rights in this fucking country for the last 250 years. If I shut my mouth right now I can guarantee you I'd have the same rights for another 250 years but I'm not gonna do that.

I get that you don't care that there are masked federal lowlifes grabbing people off the streets for the crime of speaking their mind. I get that you don't care that this administration has illegally disappeared someone who was here legally and committed no crime to a foreign fucking prison and then made it their policy that they just can't get him back but I do care.

These people have rights and they're losing them and this isn't policy it's authoritarianism with a fucking spray tan.

If you think I'm not going to use every ounce of the platform that I've somehow acquired and every decibel of my voice to drag every abhorrent thing that this administration does right into the sun you're fucking wrong.

And one more thing for you fucking rat bastards. I can promise you that history will look more kindly on me than it will on you.

This 100%.

And remember to frame this as 'the Republicans are doing this,' not 'one President's administration is doing this.'

The Republicans are wholeheartedly supporting and enabling this.

Do not let them escape the blame. Don't let this issue vanish from the list of crimes when this President leaves power.

Can I be honest with yall I don't want to hear SHIT against cishets at pride this year

[teaboot]

"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing. Let Hetero Jessica throw some biodegradable glitter at a municipal parade

At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever

[creatingblackcharacters]

Remember when Lil Nas X beautifully explored his sexuality, seduced and killed the devil to the banger of all time, and instead of cheering on this openly gay and proud Black artist for his artistry and fighting back against respectability politics, suddenly said respectability politics was all the Queerest Place on the Internet cared about? Hm. Wonder what happened there.

Anyway I miss him and hope he's doing better with his mental health 🙏🏾

[creatingblackcharacters]

Like say what you want about "bad queer representation", but this was the song that made me openly and happily accept that I was bisexual. To see him up there Black and beautiful, making music that I love, absolutely killing it? Yeah. You couldn't tell me shit. This man made me proud to be out. "This will make them think we're evil for being gay" hey newsflash dawg-

so about the “isn’t she lovely” sequence, if there wasn’t such mistreatment of black characters and black fans, do you think it would still be appropriate for tadc to reinterpret the song’s meaning?

No.

The concept of trying to reinterpret the song's meaning is exactly what I have an issue with.

"Isn't She Lovely" is a Black song, made by a Black man for his Black daughter. It is a song about Black joy, about Black fatherhood and beautiful Black baby girls. It is about Black people. It is for Black people.

Yet again, the issue is not with gender, but it is about race. To take that song out of its original context and rehash it into something whiter is what I take the most offense to, it's completely disrespectful and it doesn't even pay homage to the original culture. It's a form of whitewashing that is incredibly sinister, because it often follows along the logic of "wanting everything to be for everybody".

But you can't possibly partake in other cultures if you do not understand those cultures first, if you don't take the time to listen and be generous. To them, the song is just a song. Like most facets of the show, they take these brilliant works and strip them down to scraps, then try to spin that into something brilliant by telling people to look at the "abstract" and what isn't there. Then people go and theorize and completely overwrite the original intention, they erase the meaning, and it's very painful to witness.

The mistreatment of Black people both in and outside of the show is WHY they used the song in the first place, certainly part of it. If they had respect for Black people then this wouldn't even be a conversation.

I love when people ask "how did you learn this skill?" I just started, there's no secret. that's it. a vast majority of the time the only thing holding you back is your trepidation to start.

sometimes people experiencing psychosis and/or mania will come up to you on the street and talk in confusing or upsetting ways. your job is to either have a regular human-to-human conversation with that person or politely leave. your job is not to call 911. do not call 911. you might kill that person if you call 911.

[wheelie-sick]

I don't even have the energy to screenshot and respond to your tags- what the actual fuck is wrong with you? "the cops are scared and rightfully so" "mental health calls are the scariest for cops" OH so this isn't about the safety of psychotic & manic people this is about piggy feelings?

and no, actually, this is not USA specific and no, actually, people from other countries should not ignore this post. police violence and sanism weren't invented in the US and they are certainly not unique to here. if you (or anyone) thinks that this bullshit doesn't happen elsewhere then you are not listening.

cops r Some Guy with a Gun

do we want Some Guy with a Gun in this situation? answer is usually "NO"

[uncivilliberties]

This is legitimately useful reframing. A while ago I started replacing the word "cop" in my vocabulary with "a man with a gun." It really puts things into perspective.

This homeless person is making me uncomfortable. Should I call [a man with a gun]?

My neighbor is having a loud party. Should I get [a man with a gun] involved?

There are some teenagers skateboarding. Do you think [a man with a gun] would get rid of them for me?

It makes it very clear what you're saying. I can call a man with a gun to threaten or hurt someone mildly inconveniencing me. You're not calling the cops, you're calling A MAN WITH A GUN into a situation that does not warrant a firearm handled by a volatile lunatic who will not be held accountable for his actions.

When rich people receive it, it's called "passive income".

When poor people receive it, it's called "handouts".

"oh food now has so much added to it, past food was so pure and untainted" victorians used to cut bread with chalk and aluminum powder. romans put lead in the wine, which was made from dirty feet mushing unwashed grapes covered in horse shit and road dust. i think our species will survive a few additives in food. our food systems have never been cleaner and safer. it has room for improvement, but we're not putting fucking plaster of paris in the milk

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[helsinore]

I’m starting to realize we may not all be ready for Racism 102, aka “often times, you don’t think ‘I’m going to be racist,’ you just act on it.”

It does not matter what other reasons you have for being racist. It was still racist. White people lashing out on people of color when In Their Feelings About Something is still racism. White people objectifying people of color for WHATEVER reason is still racism.

[tpwrtrmnky]

Reading a book where a character does a racist thing, but it's narrated in first-person and they're not saying "I racistly attack the person of color with racist intent" so clearly nothing racist could be happening

[taliabhattwrites]

It is also somewhat frustrating to see discussions of this framed in terms of mental health---almost exclusively white people's mental health, cited as a rationale for the racism---as though no person of color ever struggles with, for example, anxiety, depression, psychosis, or the simple stress of navigating society as a racialized person.

yk guys I think a lot of ppl when arguing against the death penalty go for a like "people don't deserve death, etc" view and I get why ppl argue for that I rly do! but it doesn't matter. I don't trust the government to do it, I don't trust them to decide who should die, I don't trust them to determine who is mentally competent, I don't trust them to not be bigoted and discriminatory in their practices, I don't trust them to have the right people, I don't trust them to execute it in a humanitarian way. and I've had discussions with ppl who otherwise have similar viewpoints to me in many ways but can think of people they think deserve to die, and I think if abolishing the death penalty is like, a super important cause to u the same way it is to me, the argument u use shouldn't be "well these people deserve to live" (although in some cases I think yeah the death penalty is done to people who totally don't "deserve it") because that's so subjective, it should be "do you trust the government to do it?" like, do you trust the people who cant even fill potholes on your road to determine who should and should not live

[cy-cyborg]

I am begging the people who design public bathrooms, stop putting disabled toilets in between the two other bathrooms and making the area between them all a super narrow walkway. My wheelchair takes up 75% of it which means if I need to wait for the disabled toilet (which I always do) I’m also going to be blocking the entry to one of the gendered toilets, (almost always the women’s). If you’re going to make all disabled people + families + people who don’t want to use a gendered bathroom (because the disabled toilet also usually doubles as a family/ungendered bathroom) share one toilet at least give us wheelchair users a little cutout in the hall to sit in so I’m not constantly having to press myself against the wall and instructing groups of people to go around me like a traffic controller.

[cy-cyborg]

Also I am begging you, please, if you’re going to lock the toilet and make us go get a key to unlock it, PUT A SIGN UP. I sat in this narrow hallway like a purple traffic cone for 20 minutes before a cleaner told me no one was in there and it was just “occupied” because they’d locked it to stop people using it like a changing room 🙃
