Reeve Tuesti is a top tier character concept btw. What if there was a bogstandard pathetic buisnessman whose only ambitions in life were to like. Build public transit and design street layouts. But unfortunately he works at Company Of Mega Capitalism That Murders People so instead he has to go into meetings everyday and be like "I want to build. A highway." And all his coworkers laugh in his face and call him chickenshit and loudly talk over him about how they're going to restructure the budget to put 300% of their spending into torture and unethical science. And to cope with the unending guilt of failing the city he loves, he goes and designs a fursona of a little kitty boy who's always chipper and friendly and helps people. Then borrows company assets to build himself a fursuit and LARP as him. 10/10 no notes.

Aight which one of yall is gonna be the Tranny Thurgood Marshall?

[storyweavingspider]

To give a bit deeper context to this since I don’t expect this sundown-town-ass website to know any Black history,

Im mainly thinking of Marshall’s early career, before he became the first Black Supreme Court Justice. He was a traveling attorney for the NAACP, and won 29 of the 32 civil rights cases he took against the Supreme Court, including ending “Separate But Equal” doctrine via Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 and resulted in a ruling that segregation was unconstitutional.

He was a master of using the words of the system against itself to force it to lose by its own rules, often being able to use existing sociological data to prove the ways that Black people were not just being discriminated against, but were being disproportionally harmed by segregation. He was responsible for releasing a large amount of legal shackles placed on Black people in the US as a whole, though he did focus hard on school desegregations - in part because he had been rejected from schools on account of being Black himself, including Maryland’s state law school.

This is obviously a brief summary, but this is the kind of person trans women need fighting for us specifically right now. Who knows the fucking pains of how we are treated and the horrific segregation, discrimination, and danger trans women face personally. The system aint gonna *save* us but having people do their best to toss a wrench in the gears killing us Officially and slowing things down means even one more person might survive, and even one more person surviving than would otherwise is a win.

That is what I mean by “we need a Tranny Thurgood Marshall”

I think what annoys me about countries like the USA and Russia is that they can't just have internal problems, they need to make it everyone else's problem as well. "Oh, boo-hoo we're a declining empire and we need militarism to reinforce our culturally ingrained sense of masculinity" yeah, fuck off. Get over it.

blood meridian fans reading blood meridian for the first time and realizing cormac mccarthy just wrote a bunch of bullshit about imperialism and the depths of human cruelty instead of confirming judge holden to be stronger than goku

The amount of slavery in Ancient Rome was legitimately terrifying tbh

[what-even-is-thiss]

Y’all know that I’m into ancient Roman history and I do a lot of research on it but even though I should be used to it by now sometimes I read an anecdote about how an individual slave was treated and I’m hit with the realization that like a third of the population was living like that and I just need to put my head in my hands for a second

[what-even-is-thiss]

Emperor Hadrian randomly stabbed a slave in the eye in a fit of rage and he was supposedly unusually sympathetic to slaves.

There’s other instances of people randomly punching slaves that they didn’t even know because they got in their way or something. This was just normal behavior.

And slaves didn’t rebel en masse because if even one slave committed an act of violent rebellion it was common practice to kill every slave and former slave in the household.

People only took notice for posterity when these mass executions got into the hundreds of people. One of the few recorded for the history books is of over 400 people being killed because one guy stabbed his enslaver.

Like how many people throughout history were beaten to death because some rich asshole was angry and there was no legal or social consequences for doing so? We don’t know.

[what-even-is-thiss]

When you study ancient history you’re reminded that slavery has never once been kind or justified. It just takes on different forms of evil in every time and place that it infects.

Everybody say "thank you south america" for the humble potato

[weaseltotheface]

Actually let's get specific with it

*checks wiki*

Everybody say thank you indigenous people of present-day southern Peru and extreme northwestern Bolivia from 7-10,000 years ago for the humble potato
