I will forever respect Animorphs for tricking kids who are just really into animals to read a book series by going “Hey you, you daydream about what it’s like to be a dolphin or a bird or a wolf? Have I got a book for you!” and then slowly radicalizing them with 50+ books of “There are no winners in war. Whatever ‘victory’ you perceive comes at the cost of sacrificing your own morals and killing the part of you that is human. In the end you will resort to murder, torture and war crimes and the knowledge of what you have done will haunt you for as long as you live.”

Rocky: yeah it was easy for Erid to breed enough astrophage to power a ship, we just plonked it in the ocean

[flashback to the space program prep phases]

Rocky: [wholly focused on building the ship itself and does not care where the astrophage to power it comes from]

Eridian!Francois Leclerc: [having a total emotional breakdown because breeding however many million kilograms of astrophage in the oceans is an extinction level event for marine environments with massive and unpredictable effects on the ecosystems of Erid but it's also undeniably the fastest way to get enough of it to power a spaceship]

Rocky: yeah it went fine probably

[avoid-avoidance]

if Eridian!Leclerc (let's call them Lechalk) wasn't part of the Blip-A crew that died, imagine Rocky & Grace returning to Erid and dropping multiple information-bombs in a row on the Eridians

and while everyone else is flipping the heck out about sapient aliens

Lechalk is in a corner and near-catatonic because wtf do you MEAN all of that Astrophage wasn't needed??? what do you MEAN we essentially nuked Erid's oceans 275% to 425% more than we needed to???

Being asexual and racist is embarassing as fuck. Being racist at all is obviously embarassing as fuck but the amount of racism and especially antiblackness i have been seeing from asexuals recently is obscene.

One of the only asexual activists is Yasmin Benoit, a Black woman. She has raised so much awareness for the community. She was the first asexual person to lead Pride in London, she started the #thisiswhatasexuallookslike movement and is THE leading voice for the community.

And you all will celebrate international asexuality day on April 6th but we wouldn't even have that if she hadn't cofounded it.

Edit: why are you all too scared to repost this. Cmon. Be vocal about being against racism

[notlayingroses]

in my opinion, the question isn't "Is RPF ethical?" but rather "Are you engaging with RPF ethically?" and even more importantly, "Are you being stupid about it?"

I personally hate any kind morality thought policing. I'm not Catholic or religious and I do not feel guilty over my thoughts. You are not an inherently evil person because you saw two athletes in an interview and went "Hmmm...... what if...." The Feds are not going to come banging down your door because you wrote about one band member dicking down the other and sent it to your friend.

Wondering about other people's lives is very human. Being nosy about their personal lives is very normal. People have been writing fiction about other people's lives since the dawn of time. Some people even manage to write New York Times Bestselling Books that are "historical fiction" or "alternate reality." It does not make you inherently bad to be curious about the details of someone's personal life. That's being human. Being nosy is kind of fun.

The problem, however, comes with the ways in which people engage with it, and involve the real people in this. Harassing an musician's real girlfriend because it doesn't fit into the RPF ship. Showing up at real sporting events holding signs about how certain teammates should kiss. Trying to get actors to sign art of them fucking their coworker. Flooding social media with comments using the celebrity's full name and speculation. There's a line, there's a fourth wall, and there's fandom etiquette.

I hate the question of "Is RPF ethical" because it feels like morality thought policing. Post your fics on locked accounts, censor someone's name when you tweet about it, blow up your groupchat with hundreds of "DID YOU SEE THE WAY THEY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER??" texts. It's not inherently evil to wonder what other people are doing when they're out of the spotlight. Kill the cop in your mind.

But just have some basic decency and do not involve the real people. Don't cross the line without caring how it affects them. This is basic fandom 101 and lately we have been flying too close to the damn sun! Everyone get more normal about RPF so major news outlets and magazines stop posting articles about "Is RPF ethical?" and blowing up our spot!

Wake up at 230pm

Go to transfeminist Discord server

Racism towards nonwhite trans woman

Go to local trans outing

People making jokes about hanging people while there are only 3 Black/Brown people left

Go back to server

Server has exploded over racism, banned the girl who experienced the racism

Go to dyke event

Wrestle hot dykes in jello

Go back to server

Discover I’ve been elected as one of the people to run the server without my knowing

Well at least y’all all wilin out on the 20th instead of Juneteenth 💀

[storyweavingspider]

But also like, one of the things I’ve found about going to big events without loud music is people just be sayin shit and when it’s a lot of white people they’re usually a lot more lax about what they let out. I be goin to shit and learning things about people I don’t know ten feet away from me that would forever alter my relationship with them.

Gods, who’s that comedian with the joke about “if it hadn’t been for my horse, I never would’ve spent two years in college” - Like people be saying shit that’ll stick in your brain forever and you will NEVER get further context for, and you’re just left thinking about that one out of context paragraph.

Majority white spaces are this but with racist statements.

Some motherfucker saw some nice girls setting up a ham radio and went “you know what would really make this outing? If we could string someone up right now” and now instead of remembering “oh I went to the park and got a free burger” it’s “this one time I went to a trans meetup and someone made a lynching joke so I instantly dipped with protection from a bodyguard white”

And like.. none of this is *uncommon* this was just worse than normal.

Also, whites straight up don’t have to notice stuff for your own constant safety to the same degree. Like not every nonwhite is my level of hypervigilant but y’all can accept something as normal that isnt bc it ain’t affect y’all directly. Like to give an example.

One of the other racist things I saw today actually *started* yesterday, group of friends were talking about physics, two white dolls with no background in it, and one nonwhite doll with a formal education in it. The nonwhite doll was explaining things in detail but it wasn’t until a fourth person, a white doll who’s a professional physicist as well, came in and backed up the nonwhite doll, that the other whites were willing to accept it.

I bring it up earlier today bc the nonwhite doll came to me frustrated about the racism inherent in refusing to treat someone nonwhite as an educated competent source until a white voice supported her.

And just.. none of the other white folks in that group had noticed or even thought of it that way, whereas the other folks of color had seen it but been scared to speak up about it. Had just accepted it as another microaggression they’d have to live with seeing and happening.

Like. People just be saying shit that doesnt click as racism around/to y’all (general, white) until one of us points it out, and that leads y’all to automatically mentally filtering out a lot of the racist bullshit that gets said around y’all unless it’s like conservative buzzwords or slurs, and often it ends up with people trying to protect the white that said shit.

Iunno. The amount of racism I saw today was wild. I legit think it’s a rebound from people holding in their racism for Juneteenth bc I’ve watched three bits of racist bullshit including this happen today in diff places and I’m like. At least it wasn’t yesterday? 💀😭

US Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship in blow to Trump

The ruling is a major setback for Donald Trump's immigration agenda, and has been welcomed by civil rights groups.

Some good news on the run up to the 4th of July

The Supreme Court has ruled that babies born in the US have a constitutional right to citizenship, rejecting Donald Trump's bid to end the 150-year-old policy.

In a 6-3 decision, Chief Justice John Roberts ruled that children born in the US "to parents unlawfully or temporarily present" are "citizens at birth" under the 14th amendment.

President Trump had sought to limit the right through an executive order, arguing that the children of undocumented immigrants and some temporary visitors were not "subject to the jurisdiction thereof", and thus not eligible for birthright citizenship.

The ruling is a major setback for Trump's immigration agenda, and has been welcomed by civil rights groups

So what I think is that there's this default belief in patriarchy that men are superior to women and therefore the "masculine" sphere is superior to the "feminine" sphere. And so, as feminists have fought to expand the number of allowable female activities, men (on the aggregate over generations) have retreated from those activities because they're now seen as "feminine", and so partaking in them is incommensurate with their belief in their own superiority. And, unfortunately, as this has progressed, this has resulted in a lot of men sectioning themselves off from, frankly, everything that actually makes being alive worthwhile. It's a misery spiral, and the only way out is to abandon male supremacy.

[quasi-normalcy]

#men gave up deep friendships and reading and poetry and colourful fashion#all things that used to be considered manly in the 19th century#they're currently giving up on studying law and medecine#it's so stupid and sad

(I mean, the colourful fashion was more of an eighteenth century thing, but yeah)

[quasi-normalcy]

#more women in higher education meaning fewer men is incredibly depressing to me. funny in a sad way#what happens when women will finally get into trades? will they just stop working

[image: tags that read: #what's interesting is manosphere dudes seem to be vaguely aware of this problem - but they're unwilling to make the steps needed to change. #their idea of manhood is still centered around being a Provider and Protector and Successful and having power over others and money and gal #AND they define masculinity as that which is Not feminine. #so as more and more thing become universal - they feel backed into a corner as masculinity is "taken away" because NOTHING is immune #to femininity anymore - and all the things they define themselves by are becoming unisex and therefor not masculine. #and to them the ONLY solution is to push back and keep women out of those spaces and force them back into "truly feminine" things. #despite constantly preaching strength they are all too emotionally weak to consider the alternative. #and you can SEE the anxiety in their rambles. it's like they think they're being forcefemmed.]
