You cannot hide this in the tags, bestie. This is too lovely to keep a secret.

blatantescapism

Can we add @tenaciouswritingdragon ‘s poem to the list of tumblr poems. Can we illustrate it.

Transcribed for your convenience:

Hope is a weapon

Hope is a skill

Hope is a plant you can care for or kill

Hope is a discipline

Something you choose

Hard to stop looking for

Easy to lose

Hope isn’t something to have or to take

If you can’t find it, it’s something you make

Make it from willpower

Make it from spite

Learn how to weaponize love in a fight

Hope is a shield, and a thing to defend

End in itself, and a means to an end.

Would love to take credit for this, but it was actually @mumblesplash ’s lovely creation. I just took a screenshot of their tags. <3

stop fucking using the word psychotic to describe bad behaviour and violence already god fucking damn it

03josten

oh my god i’m so tired psychotic does not mean violent it does not mean angry or erratic. it refers to a person suffering from psychosis, a loss of touch with reality that includes hallucinations and/or delusions. psychotic people are not inherently violent and y'all need to understand how much stigma you create when you again and again incorrectly use the word psychotic without even thinking about it

03josten

would appreciate if non-psychotic people could reblog this

Guys why the fuck are able bodied people like this.

A family friend (don't know her too well) tried to hug me as she was leaving, and I politely tried asking her not to because 1) I'm in pain and 2) my spine is deteriorating due to a chemo drug. I really mean it when I say you can't hug me. But this bitch just went "no I'm gonna hug you" and shook me around and squeezed me like a dish towel while I was trying to push her off, and now a section of my spine and ribs is so fucked up I can't bend it and it really hurts. She literally injured me just because she couldn't take no for a fucking answer.

Like. This is why I have learned helplessness. This is why I give up so easily. At some point, having boundaries and asserting yourself and communicating your needs doesn't do jack fucking shit, because if people want to, they can overpower you and physically harm you in the process anyway. For nothing.

And this is why I don't buy people saying "it's YOUR responsibility to enforce your boundaries; just asking for something isn't a boundary <3." Because I physically can't. Most disabled people physically can't. A person in a wheelchair can't "enforce" someone not touching their chair. Yeah, after it happens, they can maybe avoid that person in the future as a way to "remove that person's access" to the wheelchair user. But at that point, assault has already been committed and it's not about boundaries anymore. It's about human fucking rights. "Don't assault me" is not a fucking boundary. It's an able bodied person's trigger word.

"To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality."

And mind you, unlike Muslims and 9/11, white folk continue to benefit economically and societally from slavery to this very day. But if we said THAT-

“In order for white people and other people in privileged social locations to truly be invested in liberation work, they must be willing to not only see themselves, but also see the people they harm. They must be willing to set aside their intentions and see their impact. They must? In some sense, be willing to die: to experience death of the ego.”

- Grieving While Black by Breeshia Wade

storyweavingspider

“When I reflect on what I personally need from people who have inadvertently caused me harm by virtue of their social location, I recognize I don’t need them to feel guilty or ashamed. Feeling badly about one’s identity or privilege leads to being consumed by helplessness, and suffering is powerless to heal.

I need people to be accountable and aware, willing to unequivocally commit to attending their own suffering, not hiding or avoiding, so that I do not bear the consequences of their shrouded grief and pain.

White people have always had the key to address racism and misogynoir. They do not need marginalized people to actively teach them to be better while they argue about their intentions. The way to learn is to listen when a person chooses to describe their experience.”

-Grieving While Black by Breeshia Wade

I really appreciate you mentioning white ppl reclaiming their culture and traditions as a form of allyship. While it's not comparable to what Indigenous ppl are going through, white supremacy and colonization hurt us too and I think that's why a lot of white people idolize Indignenous folks and even POC, because of the emptiness and yearning for a place to belong to that we don't have. Part of fighting for decolonization is to banish those thoughts by finding who we are again, only then can we truly begin to heal and have real reconciliation. We can't fight alongside our marginalized brothers and sisters as equals if a part of us still yearns to be them.

Believe it or not we want you to throw off christian heteropatriarchy too!
