Keep fighting for the sake of your ancestors who couldnāt. Do not give into despair. Speak up, speak out. Stand up. Make a point. Do not give up. Itās easier but it wonāt help you. You need to keep fighting for your future, your families future, your friends future, your kids future, you need to keep fighting for the future.
The greatest insult is so succumb to despair. Weāve come to fair to do that now.
"why are there so few historical trans men? why is transmasc history so sparse compared to other trans peoples' histories?"
yeah, I wonder why.
I wonder why we "see so few historical trans men contributing to society's history, inventions, and innovations". I wonder why.
(source: The National Women's History Alliance)
(In before someone claims ur calling trans men women)
Gee I wonder why the systematically erased group, both currently and from history has so few historical examples and records. It's almost as if people forced into womanhood (based on observed and presumed genetalia) were treated the same as pericis women and lacked rights just as pericis women did. /Sarcasm
and if they were stealth and lived and died as men, they were disrespected post mortem.
(may I remind everyone of Dr James Barry. Literally erasing his gender in lieu of having a "feminist icon" which is strange. sex variant people shouldn't have their genders erased to be feminist icons.)
Not knowing that you have a villain inside you, a hero, and a bystander is a lesson that everyone should learn.
What is the quote from Jingo, by Sir Terry Pratchett, to the effect of "when someone does something terrible, we want it to be one of Them, because if it isn't Them, then it is Us?"
āIt was because he wanted there to be conspirators. It was much better to imagine men in some smoky room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over the brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didnāt then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told their children bedtime stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyoneās fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, Iām one of Us. I must be. Iāve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. Weāre always one of Us. Itās Them that do the bad things.ā
Jingo. 1997. Pratchett, Terry. NY, London, and Ankh-Morpork: Harper-Collins. p. 205
Realizing as a child that all of us have the capability be evil within us was pivotal. Realizing that Megatron and the Decepticons wanted the same things as Optimus and the Autobots- but went about it in different ways. Realizing that we too could be villains when peaceful reform fails us.
Generous African Grey Parrot Shares Food Tokens With Another Parrot So They Can Both āBuyā Walnut Treats
āā¦Animals often share food, but these birds understand that metal rings can be exchanged for treats, and they share the rings with no promise of rewardā¦This sophisticated behavior, which requires an understanding of both currency and the needs of others, has only been described in primates beforeā¦ā
Holy ahit
Cursed: you taught the birds about money
Blessed: they became communists
i bet there were guys in the 1800s who were super fucking Reddit about everything, but no one had the right word yet for why those guys were so annoying. so they just had to wonder
Der lƤstige Kavalier (The Annoying Gentleman), by Berthold Woltze, 1874.
that is a "hello darkness my old friend" face if I ever saw one.
Cybersmith off his shits
keep in mind also that this girl is
A. A teenager, since her hair is almost fully down (the longer skirt and her traveling alone make me think maybe 14-15), and
B. In mourning, as evidenced by her entirely matte and unornamented black dress, gloves, and hat
so this guy is pestering a young girl who's just lost someone close to her, in absence of clear social cues meant to convey exactly that
I recently saw it pointed out elseTumblr that, a remarkably easy detail to miss, she is going for her hatpin. The clear social cues are about to escalate.
I for one think that is very valid of her and that hatpinning That Guy should still be considered a socially acceptable and perhaps even laudable option.
This is heartbreaking.
If all employees at whole foods, which means EVERYONE, from the ones working the cash register, to logistics, to advertisement, to the CEO himself, had to share JUST the CEO's current salary, they would all make 85 DOLLARS AN HOUR
iāve been told by various european friends that the most american sentence iāve ever said is āsophomore year of college, some friends and i road-tripped thirteen hours to florida for spring break.ā
and now i can confidently say this is the most guy-who-lives-in-paris sentence iāve ever said: ātoday i was cycling to meet a friend at buttes-chaumont and i went over some cobblestones and my baguette got launched out of the bike basket into the middle of the roundaboutā
Itās hard for me to believe that gender and sex is truly binary and immutable if you need to pass executive orders and laws and police people in order to enforce something so supposedly ānaturalā
Like.. you know what is natural, normal and good? Deviation from the widely accepted standard. You know what threatens those in power? Deviation from the widely accepted standard.
Humans arenāt fucking meant to conform to arbitrary ideals of what theyāre āmeant to beā, policing identities protects nobody but those who are made uncomfortable by self expression

"What's your dream job?" "I don't dream of jobs."
It's punk to compost, in a world filled with trash.
It's punk to be fat, in a world that wants you to keep getting smaller.
It's punk to ride an old bike, drive an old car, patch your old clothes with different colored thread, cut up old sheets for rags instead of using paper towels, and make stuffed animals out of scrap fabric, in a world that wants you to just "order it off amazon".
It's punk to tend a messy, overgrown, weed-filled garden. Tomatoes grow right next to dandelions.
It's punk to can the veggies from your messy garden and give your neighbors delicious tomato soup in the depths of winter.
It's punk to make a bird feeder and look out the window to take a break from your screen.
It's punk to wear your "Let Trans Kids Play" shirt to a college basketball game where there are no trans players, because a trans kid in the crowd will see it and maybe (this year) decide to join the team.
It's punk to have wrinkles, when the world wants you to stop aging at 23.
It's punk to go to your local library.
It's punk to take your kids to your local library.
It's punk to take your kids to a pride parade, a sit-in, a land-back ceremony, an accessible trunk-or-treat, a soup kitchen.
It's punk to plant trees. It's punk to PROTECT trees.
It's punk save for solar panels, someday.
It's punk to hope, whenever you can.
DO NOT FORGET LUIGI!
Guys this isn't just a trend. While yes, he is hot. He stands for something more than that. He stands for someone who stood up for the working class and who gunned down an evil man. A man who profited off of millions of peoples misery and deaths.
KEEP TALKING ABOUT HIM! KEEP READING THE NEWS ABOUT HIM! KEEP SUPPORTING HIM! Never stop! This is important! We can't just forget what he has sacrificed for America...His freedom so we can have ours.
Or at least have a chance to fight back and gain our freedom from these insurance companies.
The stories that have come out so far are so heartbreaking.
Edit: I've mentioned in a previous post that there's a fund for Luigi's legal defense. Some comments showed up saying the validity of these fund raisers cannot be confirmed, so I took the comment out. I don't want it to detract from the overall message.
