js if Hudson Williams was anything other than Asian people would be saying that he in fact got hate crimed when a classmate drew a swastika in his face. if I got drunk and someone drew a swastika on my face as a jew everyone would be up in arms for me, but Asians are "basically white" when it's convenient
maybe don't compare trans men saying "hey we are also oppressed" to white people "all lives mattering" the BLM movement? White people are so fucking annoying and I am so tired of white trans fems
I'm getting into my PTSD tonight but isn't it so fucked up how when there were active pedophile communities on here it was literal children having to take action on it because staff and the adults on here weren't. I was 14 being sent rape threats and gore and getting my school's address sent to me because I had the audacity to [checks notes] report pedophiles to the feds. Every single adult on the moderation team allowed this, by the way- hundreds of reports that went nowhere until I started reporting shit to the fucking feds. I fucking hate every single person who let us kids do that, too. Because I know there were grown ass adults in the anti-map community at that time. Fuck all of you, by the way.
and I will say, as I'm blocking transandrophobes, I'm finding that a lot of them are people I already had blocked from the peak of ace discourse. It's people who are so desperate to pass on the pain that was inflicted onto them onto other people instead of allowing kindness into their hearts.
shout out to black trans men y'all are so fucking awesome and strong and don't let anyone tell you otherwise
if you use words like "transandrobro" or "theyfab" unironically im not even gonna bother listening to you
“transmascs oppress transfems” okay. do you have evidence? do you have a source? oh this transmasc was misogynistic to you? okay. but how does this translate societally? oh there’s a white abled transmasc who passes perfectly and is stealth and is misogynistic and gets treated like a cis man? okay. who is this guy? …oh you can’t point him out? you… there are multiple guys like that? but you don’t know who they are? okay. do you have more sources? …no? okay.
saw this while driving out of town with my buddies
Prompt: PSA
From @ominous-signs signtober prompt list.
Still not sure I got the idea of "taken from the window of a moving car" across. Fun fact: proper billboards are not super common in ontario, there's a lot of legislation and permiting requirements keeping them to a minimum. Still, you see a few around the country roads.
[ID: an image looking like a photo taken out the window of a moving car, showing a night scene of a black billboard with white text reading "In your area... annual reports of missing persons have risen 10% in the last year" in all caps. In the corner is a blurry circular symbol outlined in white. End ID]
Official ominous billboard
Not very fun fact: Canada does have billboards sorta like that!
And a little documentary on the subject for the road: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUllVJbMQ0Q
This billboard does seem more helpful though
please note most women who go missing on the highway of tears are Indigenous women. I strongly encourage everyone reading this look into the phenomenon of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women- our sisters are taken and killed and the crimes don't get solved because police don't care. Because they're "just native women."
"The Palestinian hostage kidnapped from gaza lost his eyes because they severely beat him dumb ass! This is severely different than gouging his eyes out and I dont know why im mad about this even though both actions are horrifying and caused the same result: losing his eyes"
Mold didn’t cause bigotry. Lead didn’t either. Enough.
Lead in the brain literally causes people to be more impulsive and violent. Sure, doesn’t make people racist, but it definitely exacerbates and intensifies underlying bigotry. Denying it is ridiculous.
Reply posted from an alternate universe where instead of saying "Mold didn't cause bigotry. Lead didn't either" this post says "I literally believe lead and mold don't produce any behavioral changes or affect people's demeanor in any way shape or form whatsoever".
black communities are far more likely to have lead exposure at higher levels than your grandma was exposed to throughout her life in the Lead Everything era. this is because environmental racism leads to plants handling dangerous materials often being set up closer to black neighborhoods, as well as black neighborhoods frequently being lowest on the list for having critical infrastructure (like old pipes that have corroded and leached lead into drinking water) replaced.
and yet black grandmas, who grew up in the lead age and continue to be disproportionately affected by lead poisoning, don't tend to fall into the same patterns of bigotry. black women overwhelmingly voted for Kamala Harris last election, while white women voted far more for Trump. If we compare age ranges, this tends to stay consistent. I'm on mobile rn and typing between work, so I don't have the links on hand.
even using myself (nonblack, native) as an example, I come from an area with very high lead contamination. I have first hand experience, and I can confidently say that the lead has NOT made me into a raging racist.
When you say that lead causes bigotry in old people, you are giving bigots an out. They don't deserve an out; they are racist in and of themselves. The lead had nothing to do with it.
sometimes fiber art experience carries over to other things due to understanding how to keep tension and pressure on the fibers, like knitting or crocheting giving you a leg up in embroidery. Other times you have the class instructor at a first aid event politely at your shoulder asking you how you got the tourniquet so tight and your practice wound so neatly packed with gauze.
This reminds me of how recently I discovered that the skill of knowing what is and isn't a delusion does in fact transfer over to knowing when you're really fucking high and what is real and what's just the weed. It did not occur to me that the skill would be transferrable.
NGL if your weed is making you hallucinate in any way it was laced with something else. Euphoria, yes. Hallucinations, no.
weed also can trigger psychosis in people who react badly, sometimes because they have a genetic predisposition. this isn't to fear monger, I'm a stoner too, but if you're sure your weed is from a safe source and you're hallucinating you just may not be able to consume cannabinoids in general. Like how some people can't take Lexapro or Xanax.
from the governor of utah saying he “prayed for 33 hours that charlie kirk’s shooter wasn’t one of us and came from another country” to netanyahu trying to shift the blame to muslims - americans are going to need to reckon with the fact, eventually, that their terror is home grown
terror and violence are the number one exports of this country, as well as tools for oppression within, and have been for a long, long time. if anything, america created the very manual for the violence that afflicts them
no amount of finger pointing or scapegoating minorities will change this. the society is sick, but the sickness came from within
you people just dehumanize anyone into these ridiculous characterizations of absurdly ridiculous buzz word labels like nazi, that should represent evil but you have trivialized the term by calling everyone a nazi these days because they have some ideas different than yours, not founed even on a remote level, all the time, so you can justify celebrating the death of a another human being? call for more violence like this? this is the people who are supposed to be the compassionate, loving and caring people. this is how they think and act.
this dude was a civil rights activist, including yours.
and a million other disgusting examples out there.
its a really disturbing time
im gonna get a few more guns for halloween
the people who wish to have an open dialogue to learn and view things through other people's eyes and also debate parts you don't agree so both parties can grow and we could hopefully get on the right track by talking to each other.
what do you think happens when you kill the people that are that are done talking after so long?
This is the most brain dead take I've seen so the only thing I'm going to say is this "civil rights" advocate literally said the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a mistake
Y'all either have no idea who you're actually defending or you're just as bad. I'm thinking it's a mix of both
okay he said something that catches a cute headline for tldr i wanna hate someone types, nice.
i call him a civil rights activist in a sense. maybe more a civil rights advocate is better? because he was practicing the best civil right; free speech, in a time where people would provoke violence against you if you don't agree with every little thing they think. dude said "hey, lets talk. maybe you'll change my mind. maybe i can change your mind." and he did just that, openly practiced free speech during a time where there's a ton of young people who think compelling speech is okay and. all he was trying to do is ask young kids why they believe something like that is even viable and a hundred million other things, and he'd give his side. this dude wasnt just doing a tour to say hateful things for no reason, just, "because free speech". it was to practice free speech by having conversations with those we don't necessarily agree with at all, he was debating political viewpoints and giving his perspective and asking people to change his mind or maybe he will even change yours.
i didn't agree with all his views, and i wasnt a stan that followed everything he said but jesus christ the things i've been reading are insane. the characterization i keep seeing from these crazy people are so insanely reductive its like they live in a 1950's cartoon world or something
yes, i don't agree with everything he believed or said, or agreed with everything he had to say but thats fine. i dont think that's justification for murder or a reason to think celebrating his death is okay.
Also, again, i dont follow with the civil rights law thing so much that he had a theory about, but there was also a nuance to why he believed this civil rights law thing, you know that right? It wasn't because he felt blacks shouldn't have rights like people like you are presenting things or something
all it took was a quick google search my dude...
"it focused on equality of outcomes rather than equality of opportunity, and that it “led to more crime.”", thats what he had to say about it and he realized it was controversial. According to him he felt it created a "DEI society"
once again, its not a viewpoint i agree with necessarily, but im just saying, you realize that there's more to that statement and he acknowledged it was a radical view and his explanation is because he thinks the way it was written could have been better.
im not even trying to get into that, im just saying he had a nuanced reason, he wasn't this super hateful person so i can see the dishonesty when i see that being pointed at to show how he was racist or something. so this was ok?
the dude wasnt some neo nazi or someting..
but i get it, you gotta dehumanize those you want dead and those who do not fall in line, no questions, or we silence you. now, we might even will kill you.
he literally preached Nazi rhetoric womp womp
went back to my roots of pedophile hunting and giggled at a 40 year old man in vrchat and now I'm going to gargle bleach
it does still make me insane specifically how many queer people lovingly embrace astrology. I went to a poetry workshop yesterday that was genuinely quite good but also included an option to disclose astrology designations during introductions and so many people broke out some variation of "I'm a [x] sum but I have a [y] placement and it SHOWS" girl no it doesn't. that's meaningless correlation you completely invented the causation
I'd say that rejecting biological determinism in favor of space gas determinism isn't the slay the astrology queers think it is but if I'm being completely honest I fear that many members of our community haven't even really rejected biological determinism so much as sprinkled a layer of glitter on it
yes that's how confirmation bias works
Nobody who views astrology in a holistic way would say that it's determinism. It's more like a weather forecast--If the planets are in certain places, then certain events are more likely to happen. It doesn't mean that anything is predestined and it certainly doesn't justify bad behavior because x planet is in y position. It's no different than looking out of a window and saying "Oh, it's raining today, maybe I'll bring an umbrella"
You see the difference there is that rain is fucking real
Certain events are not more or less likely depending on the position of the planets, that is straight up pseudoscience
You might as well start believing in the ancient master race from atlantis who built all the pyramids on earth
You guys are so pressed over this lol it's like really fucking funny. "Rain is fucking real" well yeah, so are the planets, and so is the fact that they revolve around the sun. Astrology is based upon the idea that the macrocosm affects the microcosm and vice versa. Humans have assigned certain qualities to the planets and we interpret those qualities symbolically in order to make qualitative statements about the world. I know that materialists have a hard time understanding this, but qualitative symbolism can impact the way that things happen in the actual world, regardless of whether or not you believe in that symbolism specifically
the fact that the stars are real does not mean your symbolism is and the fact mercury is in fucking retrograde has NOTHING to do with the fact I think you're a fucking idiot
You must be an Aries
I was born in December dumbass
