Introoo
I'm bubblymoon, my pronouns are she/her and I'm French (and really cool). I've been on Tumblr for quite a time but I got tired of my old account and just created this one.
I don't post that much but reblog about politics and also about humanity and things. Not a big Fandom person but I do love the Marauders.
Si tu es français.e, viens on deviens pote ??
Tags I use to organize my blog under the thingy + necessary posts
YOU CAN ONLY REBLOG THIS ONCE A YEAR
ive had this queued for exactly one year

[ID: a series of tweets by @/SketchesbyBoze they read:
"I review books for a living, and I’ve noticed a worrying trend of what I call “instagramming the Holocaust.” (1 / 9)"
"Bestselling novels about the Holocaust tend to be “uplifting” and sentimental. They have romantic subplots. Jewish characters only exist to be rescued by the (often American) protagonist. The cinematic, three-act structure culminates in a redemptive ending."
"What these books offer (and they sell in the millions) is a sanitized version of the Shoah in which brave Americans bravely battle Hitler, the reader learns a lesson about Kindness and Not Being Prejudiced, and there are no sticky questions about who did the killings, and why."
"Jewish novelist Dara Horn has observed that memoirs and novels written by actual Holocaust survivors typically don’t sell—because there are no pat resolutions, no redemptions, no heartwarming moments where the Jewish prisoners see the good in their Nazi captors."
"Anne Frank’s (excellent) diary became the entry point into the Holocaust for most of us because she had not yet experienced the worst of it – because she hadn’t yet learned that some people aren’t “truly good at heart.” It’s just safe enough not to disturb us."
"And we love “uplifting” Holocaust novels because we don’t want to be disturbed, not really. This is the real reason why books like Maus offend the sensibilities of middle-class parents, because they bear witness to a truth about human nature that we don’t want to confront."
"And the “message” of the Holocaust is not that people are truly good, or that we need to be kind and tolerant (though that is true). The message is that six million people were murdered, and millions of ordinary folk were complicit, and millions of others looked away."
"This compulsion to sanitize the past, to sanitize the world, is one of the overlooked roots of white nationalism. We want to seal ourselves away from the experiences of others because we fear what they might say to us. We want reality to be pastel-hued and instagram-filtered."
"If you feel the need to shield your children from history that’s upsetting and “inappropriate,” examine yourself. If you need your stories to have positive morals and tidy endings, examine yourself. If you live in a pastel bubble, examine yourself, because the bubble is toxic." end ID.]
Even the English version of "light" by elie weisel was sanitized to be less angry. Anyways read light by eli weisel
"the best way to screw jkr over is by making her characters queer!" actually. The best way to screw jkr over is to stop engaging with the property she still profits off of and read a different fucking book
When everyone seems to have a damaged, unhappy "inner child," it is time to examine and change the treatment of children on a massive scale.
I totally agree that we need to examine and change the treatment of children on a massive scale.
But I'm not sure that the common idea of having a damaged, unhappy "inner child" has anything to do with.. well.. children. Or even necessarily with someone's childhood. It has far more to do with how we treat adults and how adults treat themselves.
Adults are told and feel like they must not be overwhelmed by emotions, must always bear the responsibilities of surviving under capitalism, must not seek joy in unproductive activities like play, must not be vulnerable and full of raw emotion, must 'have their shit together', must have resolved all their bad experiences and memories. All of which is utterly unrealistic.
Faced with the reality of actually being are vulnerable adult who is frequently overwhelmed by emotions and responsibilities, who finds joy in play, who doesn't have all their shit together and hasn't processed everything, I think a lot of adults choose to separate that reality from their sense of self and project it onto a second, inner identity: the damaged, unhappy "inner child".
In such cases, the "inner child" can have the raw emotions that they deny themselves. The "inner child" can be flawed and vulnerable and hurt. But the "inner child" isn't actually a child, it's just an adult unshackled from the unrealistic model of maturity imposed on them.
Like, that's probably not a universal experience. Some people might have an "inner child" identity on a more fundamental level. But a lot of the time, when people talk about their "inner child" it sounds to me like the 'child' part is a fiction that separates their sense of self from their messy human reality.
is hating men terf ideology?
Woah mama you should only hate people based on what they have done, not what they are

Okay so. I see a lot of uninformed people in the intersex tag so here's a little bit of information about being intersex.
We are not 'biologically nonbinary', it's actually fairly rare for us to be assigned X at birth, the majority of us are given an assigned sex.
Intersex is a catch-all for a huge number of variations, so there is no singular 'intersex body', in fact a large number of us do not have ambiguous genitalia.
You cannot transition to become intersex. You can transition to have a mix of sex characteristics. The current most accepted word for this I've seen is Salmacian. Because intersex is an umbrella term for many many variations and conditions, saying this is similar to saying you'd like to transition to being autistic or having EDS.
A lot of us go through medical abuse in childhood, including forced hormone replacement therapy and gender reassignment surgeries, often as infants. I, for example, was forced onto estrogen as a teenager. This is something we are still fighting to make illegal without impacting trans youths access to treatment.
Not every intersex person is trans. Just like everyone else, we can be cis or trans or feel a mix of the two. Some of us are just intersex and aren't interested in further labels.
Being intersex is not really that rare. Most estimates put it about as common as red hair or green eyes. Some estimates even higher.
And finally, because I am genuinely stunned by the amount of people that don't know this. Hermaphrodite is an intersexist slur. You should not be using it if you are not intersex.
That concludes my post. Good faith questions are welcomed, and it's easy to find more information through places like interACT and the (albeit outdated) ISNA website.
shaking women by their shoulders with all my strength, screaming YOU DONT NEED TO GET PERMISSION TO BREAK UP WITH SOMEONE!!!!
you can choose to break up with someone for any reason. and it’s your choice. you’re allowed. you don’t need to ask for permission. you don’t even need to do it in person. you won’t get in trouble. in fact, most of the time you’ll be in trouble for fucking staying.
they don’t even have to suck! you can just be tired! or bored! or want to be single! you don’t have to stay with a person you don’t want to be with because they “are such a good person and haven’t done anything wrong”!
WHY DO I KEEP TALKING TO WOMEN WHO ARE STUCK IN RELATIONSHIPS THEY DONT WANT TO BE IN
i think it's fine to attribute some desire to biology, like wanting to have kids. like yeah I'm sure a lot of it is the living creature need to proliferate. it doesn't bug me. same as acknowledging that love is dopamine or whatever. a cynic saying love is just chemicals in our brains isn't a gotcha. like ok we as humans were so driven and fascinated by our capacity to love that we found the exact juice that produces that feeling and gave it a name. that's awesome, actually, i dig that, i love that. with my chemicals.
what if... our chemicals....
and they were both boys 😳
being a humanities major who’s friends with stem majors is so funny because you’ll ask your friends what they’re doing today and they’re like “UGH it’s so stressful i have to stabilize the reactor core for my nuclear power midterm and then i have to build the supercomputer from i have no mouth yet i must scream for my electrical engineering homework :/ what about you” and you’re like “oh well i have to read a fun little book and write an essay about gender.” and they still think you have it worse
Being a stem major who's friends with humanities majors is ALSO funny bc you ask what's goin on with them and they're like "oh yeah my day's pretty good! I only have to read 50 pages for this one class today and half a book for another one. It's much better than last week where I read three books and wrote a 10 page paper about their overlapping motifs for one class while also researching a niche period of time that our library doesn't have any resources on. How's it been for you?" and you're like "oh I have a lil packet of fun math puzzles due tomorrow." and they look at you like you're carrying the weight of the universe on your back
This is your reminder that just because something falls within the skillset you've practiced, so you can do it and you don't find it particularly hard or stressful relative to other things, it doesn't mean it isn't actually hard work you should be proud of yourself for accomplishing!
no cruel jokes or pranks this April 1st we should instead celebrate the better April 1 holiday
What is the better April first holiday and what does this saucy little scamp have to do with it
I can't find an article in English but essentially in France it is a common children's prank to on April Fool's put little paper fish on people's backs and it's called "poisson d'Avril" (April Fish). when i was in school in our french classes we would hide paper fish around the school as well and i took great joy in wedging mine in deeply impractical places that im honestly not sure were ever found. looking at it now, my French teachers had billed it as a Whole Separate Holiday but it actually seems more to be like a cultural in-joke/France-Specific April Fool's Prank lol whoops
regardless I like it better than some of the more mean spirited stuff I've seen associated with American April Fool's day
can't be mad at someone just taping one of these lil guys to your back right !
i love this thank you
I got two fishes taped to my back last year (teacher here) I'm sad I don't have that many classes this year. We'll see if I get something today though👀
Alors la famille on se sent comment
