Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.

FURRIES: what is your fursona, to you? (Read notes under poll before voting)

Simply myself, but as an anthropomorphic animal, otherwise 1-to-1

And idealized version of myself, but as an anthropomorphic animal

A character written, someone I would like to be (physically)

A character written, someone I would like to be (personality wise)

A "true," uninhibited version of myself even if our behaviors aren't alike IRL

I have multiple, because they are each different parts of me

Functionally, a mascot to draw and/or dress as, I needed to have *something*

A character to have fun with while playing pretend, like a cute outfit

Someone who has no resemblance to me at all, kind of just my *main* character

Their own character with their own story, but I speak through them at times

A character/visual design I liked too much, it naturally became my avatar

I don't have one.

Remaining time: 6 days 8 hours

NOTES: I'm well aware that a lot of these can overlap and there's no succinct way to put it, really. Please, just choose the option that best reflects your reasoning CURRENTLY.

And please, elaborate (but do not argue) in the replies!

[infectiouspiss]

everyone is like "hey don't interact with [x]! dont give it attention, it gets money from that attention!" and thats pretty universally understood like yeah the right wing ragebaiter is doing all that for attention everyone gets that, but as soon as you bring up the marauders everyone suddenly forgets that attention=money and now i'm the bad guy for telling you that hey maybe don't give attention to the bigoted holocaust denier. what happens in people's brains for them to think jkr is somehow getting psychic damage from your t4t wolfstar fic? like no buddy you're just keeping her work and therefore her relevant and then you have the audacity to act shocked when she uses that to power to harm trans people. it's pathetic

[infectiouspiss]

also lets just circle back to something here real quick. JK ROWLING IS A HOLOCAUST DENIER. and you somehow still enjoy her work. how do you sleep at night? like genuinely?

i don't care that you're trans and write trans fanfic about her characters, she actively denies that the nazis ever burned books on gender, she called this FACT a "fever dream" and you can just somehow look past that?

[star-angel-selkie]

too many people think fascism is just evil for evil's sake when its actually comfort and justification for your biases, so when they get seduced by it they deny being fascist because they dont see themselves as evil.

[tim-official]

neopronouns are all well and good but as long as we're adding words to the english language there's much cooler things we could add too. lets add inclusive and exclusive "we." a variant of "we" that distinguishes between "we (including listener)" and "we (including the speaker but not the listener)". other languages have this. Let's add the obviative case to our third-person pronouns so that we can distinguish between two people of the same gender - a him-[salient] and a him-[less salient]. this would make it much easier to write sex scenes where two people use the same pronouns. why aren't our proud pronoun warriors working on this

[queercripintersex]

Yes! I'm thinking "we all" for the inclusive/universal we and "we folks" for the exclusive/limited we.

"We all are going to the park" versus "we folks are going to the park" I already feel has that distinction and the added words are nice and short

Not getting ideas for the obviative though

[queercripintersex]

Idea: yon and yon's for a obviative/less-salient third person pronoun. Use yon where you'd use he/him, and yon's when you'd use his.

Yon is an existing-but-kinda-archaic pronoun in English. It's used for when a person or thing is distant but still within sight (this, that, yon/yonder). Like "thou", it's not mainstream anymore, but it hasn't died out entirely either. You'll still find it in dictionaries [1 2 3 4 5].

You can use "yonder" as a way to indicate who is the yonder/distal person/character.

Example:

“Come here," Lady Protagonist said to yonder Other Woman. Yon continued to fidget, holding her golden necklace in yon hands, wishing it were yon’s. She put her hands on her hips, and stared at yon. Sighing, yon came over, and sat beside her. Yon fiddled with the clasp until she reached over and opened it for yon. Yon draped her necklace around her neck, and yon closed the clasp for her. She smiled, and held yon's hand.

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT

[ninakaina]

my other pervasive problem with the movie (aside from its treatment of women which i cant even start on yet) is nolan's attempt to have the gods display their power in "natural" ways so that their diegetic existence or involvement remains in question. like how odysseus says his crew believes he's cursed by poseidon, it's left so explicitly ambiguous whether calypso is mortal, and athena's appearances to him are revealed to be a PTSD hallucination. I actually don't have a fundamental issue with this as an adaptational decision although i think its execution turns it into a matter of culturally christian theology, but the thing is that it's stupid. Because there's a Cyclops.

Another day, another doggy you can’t pet. Meet the dhole (Cuon alpinus). Found widely across parts of Asia from India to China to Indonesia, this social canid typically lives in groups of up to 12 individuals. Sometimes it even socializes with other groups of dholes to form “super packs” of more than 30 members! Teamwork enables these hunters to take down prey ten times their size. And unlike many other species of canid, dholes allow their pups to feed first on kills. Their diet includes pigs, deer, and buffalo.

A Cop Is A Kind Of Human Trafficker, Or, Why Talking to the Liberals I Love Feels Like Grinding My Face Into Concrete

I was having a conversation with my dad a while back, and the subject of the police came up because my then girlfriend's abusive ex was squatting at her house and neither of us wanted to call the police. He knows I'm an abolitionist, its probably my single most vocal belief. And he says, "I know you've had bad experiences with cops but they're not all bad."

And thats when it occurs to me that he hasn't just disagreed with me during our past conversations on the matter, he literally was not listening. Or, he wasn't equipped to listen. I'll explain later on.

When I was arrested, I was not treated particularly bad by the police, and I've never claimed to have been. I was white, and I was in the closet. From the back of the van they loaded me into after cuffing me, I saw first hand how much worse they treated the black man they arrested on the way to taking me to jail, not even allowing him the dignity of stepping inside his home to dress.

When a liberal hears someone say ACAB, they think they're hearing someone say, in addition to being a police officer, every police officer is a bad person. They're all corrupt, they all beat their partners, etc. And thats closer to the truth than not, genuinely, but its still not what we have ever been saying.

Its not the fault of the acronym, that would be a goofy claim. But a more accurate one could be ACIAKOHT: A Cop Is A Kind Of Human Trafficker.

One of the main things a cop gets paid to do is traffick human beings to do forced labor. When they do this to trans women, this forced labor is sexual, it is sexual slavery, something that the vast majority of people I love will risk in every single interaction they are ever made to have with a police officer. Its a matter of policy, its called V-Coding, google it. Even in cases where no forced labor occurs, they are committing kidnapping.

I love my father, but he isn't equipped to understand this, even to understand that this is the position an abolitionist actually holds, no matter how directly it is stated, because he is white, cis, straight, and petit bourgeois. Every axis he exists on incentivizes him not to understand. Because to him, a cop is someone who exists to protect you and your stuff. Because for someone in his position, thats what they are. I could only hold a negative view of the police, in his mind, if I experienced some particular abuse at their hands. I didn't, except for the part where they kidnapped me. Which is what they get paid to do.

It's called the Global Justice Report, it is here. This is an actionable plan which can be sent to legislators and demanded of political parties. We could save the world within our lifetimes.

It has always been possible. It is still possible.
