learned today that one of the hosts of a podcast I occasionally listen to was in the epstein files because of an incident wherein she was being sexually harassed/abused by a man who worked in her field -> she created a google doc for other women in said field to anonymously submit the names of men who had harassed/abused them -> one of these men sued for her for defamation even though she didn’t know him & didn’t even know who his victim was -> he couldn’t afford lawyers & reached out to epstein for funding -> epstein gave it to him -> after 5 years she was forced into a settlement & had to pay him over $100k. the way these predatory men find solidarity with each other is so so so profoundly evil

for those unaware today india experienced one of its biggest protests in half a decade. there were protests all over the nation for various causes but the major one was in delhi. all we asked for was the resignation of the education minister because he's failed the students of this nation time & time again. but we were met with brutality, the police had barricaded the main site of protest (jantar mantar). metro stations were shutdown, the public was restrained from reaching the protest site and all the adjoining areas had signal jammers to make sure the crowd had no access to constant updates. they had us blocked from all the sides. they were lathi (baton) charging students from one side & releasing tear gas from the other. you couldn't walk 100 m on streets without having a tear gas shell thrown at you. there were many students, women & kids bleeding — some from their head. some couldn't walk anymore. the police had removed their nameplates & acted with full impunity to resort to unprecedented levels of violence. they were pelting stones at us, beating up people for no reason, forcefully detaining them and attacking us constantly with tear gas & rubber bullets. they wouldn't let you exit either. the crowd was peaceful & looking out for each other yet they were met with violence. i made a friend who was all alone & she asked to join me & my friend because a policeman wouldn't leave her alone. he constantly prodded her for personal info, invited her back to the jeep saying they have food there, wouldn't stop following her around. you couldn't call or ask anyone for help, we were left to fend for ourselves & be on a constant lookout if you did not want to be beaten up to death by police. all for what? asking a resignation? shame on this country.

You should be starting a recipe book. I don't give a shit if you're only 20-years-old. The modern web is rotting away bit by bit before our very eyes. You have no idea when that indie mom blog is going down or when Pinterest will remove that recipe. Copy it down in a notebook, physically or digitally. Save it somewhere only you can remove it. Trust me, looking for a recipe only to find out it's been wiped off the internet is so fucking sad. I've learned my lesson one too many times.

[thanatos-girl]

Yes I absolutely would actually?

The entire debacle with Imane Khelif is like the perfect illustration of how someone exempts themselves from misdirected transmisogyny by invoking and conforming to bioessentialist standards of womanhood; something a trans woman would not be able to do, as evidenced by the fact that no trans woman was allowed to compete in the event at all

[lady-viccy]

how many people came to defend imane on the basis of "she's not a tranny"?

how many people would come to defend a trans womans right to keep her gold medal?

get the fuck out of here

[gremlingirlsmell]

sorry to put you on blast, but

it is only technically true, that trans women were allowed to compete. they changed the rules specifically for the 2024 olympics in such a way to effectively ban 99.9% of trans women specifically from participating:

(effectively as in: transitioning is so gatekept that there's almost no country on earth where you are even allowed to transition this early, it is extremely gatekept even in the most "trans positive" legislations around the world, and also many just realize later in life, so this effectively bans most if not almost all trans women)

[airmetsierra]

The previous addition was correct at the time, but is already outdated. Trans women are now just completely banned from women's sports in the Olympics.

Breaking my several year harry potter silence just to say that in the Apollo Justice Trilogy, they removed the harry potter reference they originally had in the game. Which means that if you still consume hp content and talk about it, you are doing worse than fucking capcom

[tallsuperstar]

@endigolikesarson In the original, for the running joke regarding Valant and doors, Apollo calls Valant a muggle

While in the remaster, he says this which is way funnier even without the baggage

[tallsuperstar]

Everyone reblogging this post saying stuff like "they probably changed it because of copyright/dated reference" NEEDS to know that 1. There are multiple references to Doctor Who and Star Trek and a character probably named after someone from Battlestar Galactica of all things and 2. The lead writer for the localization stuff with Ace Attorney uses they/them pronouns.

so, after two months of silence, my university finally sent me an invoice.

some of you might recall that back in may, i was raising funds to pay an £1,800 invoice that my former university was threatening to send me, but repeatedly did not do. well, over 60 days late, i have finally received this invoice, and as i am still unemployed and living on benefits, i'm going to try and ask for help again. apologies to those who helped me last time, whose donations i have since had to spend on food rather than saving for this.

i have 30 days to make this payment. please help if you can afford to, or send this to people who are able.

£0 / £1,800

Slavery…

[theconcealedweapon]

"Slavery was so long ago. Get over it."

Slavery is literally happening now. Police never stopped being slave catchers. People are supporting it now just like they supported it then.

If you support ICE, you would have supported slavery, because ICE is slavery.

they invented a new drug with a high like no other its called a girl you are head over heels for is head over heels for you in return

maybe life is going to be okay after all

just gonna get ahead of this one because its gaining too many notes too fast

Emos & scene kids got this close to abolishing gender for real. I try not to think about it too much.

[shamebats]

The idea of a popular teenage subculture where girl & boys pretty much all dress the same feels impossible now but for a while it was reality and it was beautiful.

[catmask]

by the way. it never is too late to decide you want to be happy. the woman who helped me get hormones didnt start hers until she was 70, and i met her at 73, beautiful and smiling - and told me that the last three years of her life had been her favorite. your favorites might be ahead of you too. why not hang around and find out?

Westerners of color who get mad about global southerners pointing out that they benefit from imperialism are the sibling group of white people who hear "you have white privilege" and go "b-but I'm gay and trans and disabled and poor and did I mention I'm gay, where's my white privilege HUH"

[morganitism]

"I have a hard time getting food and water and experiencing racism on a daily basis" Fascinating. I wonder what other groups of people may also have a hard time getting food and water while experiencing racism on a daily basis. While also getting murdered, raped, and enslaved by the forces of western imperialist countries. At a disproportionately higher rate than anywhere in the west and with far less coverage from any media, and far less outrage from anyone

[morganitism]

The device that you're using to claim that you don't benefit from imperialism contains cobalt that was mined by children in the Congo who do not have access to those same devices.

[yumefilly]

do they not understand what the military does?

[morganitism]

They lose their shit if you mention that their militaries are not white only

[morganitism]

I'm actually not done talking about this because once again racialized westerners are pissing me off. Stop acting like you haven't bullied hundreds of foreigners off this platform for pointing out your privilege or talking about western imperialism in general. You are a westerner before you are racialized and I'm tired of you all acting like third worlders (99% of the time racialized themselves) are being racist for saying that. I'm tired of people being quiet while third worlders get ran out of places that are often their ONLY support by fragile westerners who can't handle being told they're not the most oppressed ever.

Being a westerner before you are racialized doesn't mean that they don't see your skin color before anything else. That means that the place that you live in affords you more material protections, support, and benefits than you would be given outside of the imperial core. This is like basic intersectionality, something that you all seem to forget the moment third worlders point out imperialism. And yet when you point this out a huge portion of racialized westerners on here will start throwing tantrums and trying to bully third worlders off this platform. You are not immune to being a western chauvinist just because you're not white.

Check your fucking privilege.
