imo the way you feel about groups it's fully socially acceptable to hate (like children or polyamorous people, among others) is the canary in the coal mine for underlying bigoted beliefs. if you're only supportive of marginalized groups when it's cool to do so, probably you don't actually care about marginalized groups, you care about other people thinking you care

[deaddogbrain]

there are 1 trillion people in the notes of this post saying "yeah! i mean i hate kids but they should have rights!" you hate kids? you mean you hate all members of an oppressed group solely for their membership in this group? right. why do you hate them? because they can't take care of themselves and need help? because they don't understand social norms and can be "annoying" and disrespect boundaries as a result? because they can be messy? because they don't understand things in the same way as you do? that's awesome. how do you feel about disabled people btw

Anna Archive was a goddess of knowledge worshipped in the early 21st century[1][2]. Cultists of Anna would frequently move the shrines dedicated to her from place to place in great secrecy[1][3], requiring worshippers to possess secret information in order to access the far greater knowledge provided by worship, possibly as a form of sacrifice[Original research?]. Worship of Anna is associated with the increased enforcement of intellectual property rights at the time[1][4], as well as greater inaccessibility of academic materials due to the late-imperial academic crisis[5][6][Failed verification.]. It has been suggested[By whom?] that the name Anna Archive may be the origin of the word archive, referring to a repository of information[7].

hi everyone, i'm an autistic transfem who has been living on and off in backpacker hostels for the past few years and i also had to get off HRT a few months ago and that isn't fun at all because i literally have more pressing health problems. i had to leave my cats at the pound (they're fine they got adopted by a vet but i'm not).

ive been planning an escape route for like. a year now. and i need a ton of money to pull it off.

by a ton i mean like $1000 is doable and $3000 is comfortable so just shovel money at me for the next few months so that in august or so i can get this done and then i will have irl community and healthcare.

i have occasional gigs as a sensitivity reader and that plus solid support from a very small handful of close friends (who are impoverished themselves) is keeping me housed by some definition of that term but i really need to up my game so i'm not just sitting here aging and dying in severe isolation. ive basically been in solitary confinement for like three years it fucking sucks

"oh, but there are radfems writing important and valuable transfeminist theory, like talia bhatt"

talia bhatt: I was so moved by the protagonist of the fiction novel stone butch blues valiantly detransitioning and hooking up with a transfeminine side character. it was very beautiful and profound to imagine that detransitioning could rid the world of gender ideology

not to mention her like insistence on never ever considering the Japanese subjectivity in describing Japanese lesbian fiction as somehow "lesser" and not as genuine, especially in how she talks about Class S fiction.

that too:

The whole "Key to Heaven" concept that Satrapi talked about in her memoir is probably the most disgusting piece of propaganda that was co-opted West, because I know a bunch of Iranian Shi'as, some of whom are veterans of the Iraqi-Iran war, and none of them have ever heard of it.

[tamamita]

The Key to Heaven was a myth where Iranian child soldiers were wearing a key around their neck, so that, in their supposed martyrdom while fighting the Iraqis, the keys would grant them access to heaven.

Not only is this a myth, but it has no religious basis.

Yes, we know that to make any possible mild dent in imperialistic power structures all native English speakers alive will first have to become fluent in every other language currently spoken. Why don’t you tell us something whose only viable answer isn’t a self-demonstrating strawman of itself.

When I'm in a putting words in someone's mouth competition and my opponent is a fucking gringo.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

"gringos have to learn every single language on earth" is not only not "the only viable answer" to language imperialism, it's also not a position I or anyone is advocating for, and there are counter-arguments I could make here but frankly this ask is so self-evidently stupid that I'm not going to debase myself by engaging with it any further than this.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

Actually I'm gonna debase myself a little bit and just a little bit:

It's extremely telling that when you see me point out that Language Imperialism Bad your mind immediately goes to "forcing all anglo pigs to learn every language on earth" as the only answer anyone could ever be advocating for, and the possibility of "not forcing everyone else in the world to learn english if they want to get anywhere in life" doesn't even cross your mind. Really shows who in this equation you see as people and who you see as static background decoration, no?

Ummm she's literally sensitive :/
