I will defend low-quality queer media if only because non-queer people get to make shitty low-quality media all the time and nobody gives a shit.

Queer people deserve to make shitty art as much as anyone else, god damn it. We've been censored for so goddamn long and I'm tired of every piece of queer media needing to be the height of representation and art and quality.

Queer media won't have achieved true equality with straight media until queer people can make garbage in peace.

Public service announcement.

Blue/purple lips and fingernails is a symptom of low oxygen in lighter skin tones.

In darker skin tones you're looking for grey or white lips and fingernails. Other places where this may be not evidence is the tongue and gums.

Figured since everyone gets taught what low oxygen looks like on lighter skin. Everyone should know what it looks like on dark skin too.

Alternate universe where I literally just to go to school forever (for free) so I can just learn about art and literature and history and languages for 100 years. No job skills. No credit requirements. No student loans. Just learning.

It is wild what kind of shit people will report to you in a security uniform. "Hey, that guy in the wheelchair? He doesn't need it, he was walking outside earlier" like ??? Okay?? First off you don't know his medical status, second what the fuck am I supposed to do with that information? Take it away from him?? It's still his fucking wheelchair, he brought it from home

teaboot

like I don't have any physical disabilities that I'm aware of so stop me if I'm not in my lane but I feel like even if a dude is fully able-bodied, if he owns a mobility aid and he wants to use it then unless he's swinging it around wracking toddlers with it then it's really none of my damn business

Also?? "Hey there's a junkie in the bathroom" ??? First off I saw them go in and I know for a fact that person has cerebral palsy, and also, are they actively using drugs?? Are they in medical distress?? No?? Then let them piss oh my God would you rather they shit on the street

teaboot

and actually, another thing, because fuck it, but did you know?? "Security" means "safety"?? If nobody is using drugs inside the building and nobody is hurt or being hurt or bothering anyone or fucking in the lobby ar yodeling into the intercom or fucking, I don't know, supergluing the toilet seats up and running off with the furniture, then what precisely are you expecting me to do about it? I'm not not the goddamn Social Norm Enforcer. If you're wearing clothes and leaving people alone and you aren't stroking out or freebasing coke with your non-service animal then I honestly do not give a fuck. "There's a man in a dress in the women's room" Okay and are they watching you poop? "I don't think that's a real service dog" is it humping someone? "That girl smells like weed can you get her out of here" Weed's been legal for like five years get with the goddamn program. She probably works here. Do what you came here for and go hoooooome

“social norm enforcer” is exactly what is expected

The rejection of landback deep down, comes from a fear that the colonized will switch roles with the settler and seek revenge.

This is, in and of itself, a racist viewpoint as it is a defacto embrace of the white supremacist great replacement theory

Landback is not an ethnostate movement, it is a self determination movement. If you fear and oppose the self determination of a long colonized and oppressed people, who have been violently targeted by a white supremacist occupation force in an ongoing genocide for 500+ years, you are upholding the white supremacist status quo and are thus in fact, a racist. Sorry to break it to any fragile white leftists out there

brandifferous

Hard to believe that any self-respecting Leftist would be against land back.

it’s so deeply telling how when trans women try to say ‘hey, you viewing us as abject freaks and men is transmisogyny’ or ‘trans lesbians are really lesbians’ that so many cis women will instantly go to ‘so you think it’s transphobic that I don’t like DICK?!!’

ceriseal

i just stumbled on a post that laid out this issue in very clear terms and explained it very nicely to cis people, yet _still_ a endless mass of people were responding by going ‘but i don’t want dick’. like, it’s physically impossible to get cis women to stop seeing us as a hybrid of sexual object with no personhood, secretly men, and innate rapist. you can talk till you’re blue in the face and they’ll just keep pretending it’s physically impossible to treat you like a human being or engage in good faith

In my neck of the woods those are called terfs

ceriseal

trans woman exterminatory radical feminists (twerfs/terfs) are a group with distinct tactics, talking points, and ideological basis for their violence. to dismiss this as ‘terf behavior’ dilutes the meaning of the term terf/twerf into meaninglessness and is a easy way out for cis people to avoid taking responsibility for their transmisogyny.

twerfs do a great deal of harm. but the transmisogynistic attitudes, views, and behaviors discussed above are a broader issue that cis people of all sorts coming from all sorts of places enact.

this isn’t twerf behavior, this is normalized cis behavior

@advanced-procrastination

sephezade

I’ve always wondered, and this is probably off topic but, when trans women express the reality that they are targeted, objectified, and marginalized and cis women give some variant of the “no dick please” response, precisely who in the expression of trans woman marginalization offered these objectors dick?

ceriseal

no one. cis women are predisposed to see any request for basic respect of our humanity or boundaries as examples of male aggression while simultaneously seeing us as nothing but walking dicks.

anything we ask for must be sex because that’s all we’re good for. while simultaneously we’re men conspiring to silence them and encroach upon their boundaries. any attempt at assertiveness is aggression, and anything we ask for must be sex because that’s all we’re good for.

The federal government has not created a national task force that would investigate all unresolved cases of missing and murdered Indigenous

Val Charlette wonders if her daughter's death would have been deemed suspicious if an Indigenous-led task force had been called in to investigate.

Angela Lavallee wonders if a task force would have determined someone was responsible for the death of her infant granddaughter.

Destiny Paupanakis wonders if the case of her sister's death would have been reopened as a murder investigation rather than written off as a suicide.

None of them will get the chance to find out. Not yet, anyway.

That's because the federal government has not created a national task force that would investigate all unresolved cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls — despite the fact that was a key call for justice in the 2019 final report of the MMIWG inquiry. [...]
