the two fundamental truths of historical and contemporary mankind:
we were just as smart then as we are now
we are just as stupid now as we were then
Who needs sympathy from white queers
It's funny how this US chauvinist keeps shitting on the IOF, but remains ever so satisfied over their participation in the US imperial war machine
I won't ever get over the removal of headphone jacks, or micro sd slots, or cd drives. I won't. Fuck everyone and everything
he had to jump in the ballpit to cool off after getting all airplane ears over a treat puzzle that proved a little too advanced
he's done this a few times now. the ball pit actively soothes him when he gets mad over puzzles. i could learn something from this
I’m sorry my lovelies but the reason you hate yourself is because you treat you like shit. If you came up to me and then told me I was a fuck up who could never do anything right I'd fucking hate you too.
if you didn't let me go to bed until after midnight because you'd rather watch Netflix than let me rest, and then got mad at me for not being productive the next day I'd be PISSED
You keep calling me a fatass but you tell other overweight people they’re beautiful? Why do you keep shitting on MY weight, then?
Oh? It’s different if it’s me? Wow fuck you too
Love is a verb! Self love isn’t a warm fuzzy feeling, it is compassion and action in support of yourself!
And yes, this includes having compassion for the bully in your head. Unfortunately that part is also you and deserves as much of your understanding as the rest of you.

This is the real reason why you need to be kind to the bully in your brain too, because that motherfucker is really good at doing a switcheroo when you're not paying attention.
[Image ID: Tumblr tags reading: trying so hard to correct this, catching myself and scoling myself for not being kind to myself, what kinda circular logic is happening in my brain, anyway. this i /End ID]

proponents of the sex binary love to say that the Essence of your sex is stored only in one or another part of your body, and this Essence loves to move the moment it's pointed out that that aspect is not always aligned with one's other sex characteristics via being intersex or transsexual
"sex is in your genitals, I mean it's in your chromosomes, uh I mean it's in the size of gamete your body produces, uh I mean it's in the size of gamete your body is intended (???) to produce"
there are plenty of body parts that are regularly attributed to sex, and yet people are terrified of the idea that they may not always come in one of two particular configurations
all the talk about which part your Sex Essence really lies in is just drawing and redrawing linguistic boundaries as a method of erasing intersex and transsexual people. it's pure word games played to deny reality and define those of us who don't fit into the sex binary out of existence
the mythology of the Sex Essence, by the way, is how the patriarchy attempts to keep people bound to their assigned classes so it can categorize and control. you don't have a sex. you have a configuration of body parts and you have a state assigned class loosely based on only one of those body parts
when they say "sex is real" they really mean "Sex Essence is real"
btw when a lot of you say "amab" and "afab" it's obvious you're actually referring to Sex Essence rather than referring to the process by which the state assigns a class
AMBTS (Assigned Male By The State)
CAN WE SWITCH TO THIS ACRONYM ACTUALLY
- people need to be reminded who does the fucking assigning
- doesn't roll off the tongue, so you will never hear a trans woman called "an ambts" out loud
this is all thats left of her

Sein Wechsel zum FOCUS war (ich habe extra nachgesehen) in 2019.
Selbst wenn der Führer als solcher gelten dürfte – was er nicht darf – macht ihn das nicht zum Linken.
Der Sozialstaat ist im ureigensten Interesse des kapitalistischen Systems, weil es dieses stabilisiert und seine Dauerkrise mildert. Diese banale Erkenntnis hat sich nur leider bei den Claqueuren des Kapitals (politisch wie wirtschaftswissenschaftlich) noch immer nicht nachhaltig rumgesprochen.
You know how we call things "pseudoscience"... the media analysis that's being done on twitter and tumblr should be pseudohumanities
it's always funny to me when ppl act like it's somehow incestuous for characters who consider each other found family/chosen family/whatever u wanna call the trope to date each other, and it's funny for many reasons, but most specifically it's funny because irl when you meet a person and get really attached and decide that you want to be family with them, there's a very popular legally recognized way of doing that & it's called marriage
Marriage promotes incest because then you end up having sex with a family member
Often I think about the r/ambien wife guy, not daily or anything, but still often:
my general position on public nuisance is "you should do your best not to irritate or inconvenience other people unless there's a good reason" and then litigate the "good reason" on a case by case basis. i think that's the best anyone can do. the definition of "good reason" varies wildly depending on context, your background, culture generally, what data you have as a participant or a bystander, and local laws, and all three of these things are relevant factors
for example it really does lower my level of reactive, irritable stress with my neighbors to know their names and general schedules. i don't know why but it really does bother you less if Kyle Upstairs is having a party a little too late and you can hear Bulletproof through the ceiling, as opposed to if you're on year three of living underneath some anonymous fuckhead you want to kill. it's like oh Kyle's cousin is visiting and they're just chilling out maybe they lost track of the time. this makes all the difference. as usual the best advice is to form community with the people around you no matter what, even if you are entirely self-interested it will benefit you in the end. well that's all I got
I like to think about "in what situation would I be doing the thing they're doing?". People on the phone in the train, or loud outside, or anything really. And most often I come to the conclusion that I'm currently being a grumpy buzzkill who had a bad day and is taking it out on someone having fun. Me being grumpy shouldn't disqualify others from having fun. Usually it helps snapping me out of being a grouch as well.
this is the healthiest and most self-perceptive reblog ive ever seen on tumblr and i can feel it changing me for the better
colonialism did not create the gender binary grahhh there were hundreds if not thousands of pre-colonial societies that believed in some cultural cognate of man and woman and enforced those notions as normative. Yes some had gender-transgressive cohorts within them (mostly trans women) but there were and are clear rules that often delineated them as lesser peoples.
what colonialism *did* do was enforce the specific european cultural context of man and woman to nonwestern societies, something that was in fact aided by the pre-existing sex binaries in those cultures!
I have seen like 3 posts today implying or outright stating that binary gender did not exist outside of europe pre-colonialism and I need you all to understand That Is Insane, Untrue, And Unhelpful!
Do not twist my words; I do not say this to cast undue shadow on non european nations and peoples pre-colonialism, nor do I say this to absolve europe of culpability in modern (trans)misogyny! I say this because the fight against misogyny is a global one and the accuracy of our adversity is important to its discussion and dismantling!
There is a running undercurrent in a lot of popular faux-progressive thought that the only real enactors and benefactors of oppression are those who sit at the pinnacle of all axes, but this is false and a blatant rhetorical trap! I benefit from my whiteness despite being disadvantaged on the axes of class, gender, and trans status! Privilege is neither a math equation to be zeroed out nor is it an albatross around your neck to be mopily brought up on every occasion! In this sense all men (all men) ALL MEN benefit from misogyny! A minority man being affected by racism/classism/ableism/etc. still retains advantage over women on the axis of gender because patriarchy is global!
