Stuff like guerilla gardening, stickering, wheatpasting, lifting, graffiti, pothole-filling and other minor illegal acts aren’t only important for their primary effects, but because disobeying your capitalist programming helps break down the internalized worldview that comes with it
You start seeing society as it is: a collection of flawed, limited, man-made institutions that can be ignored, reshaped, or abolished. You see your environment as something that you’re free to improve and beautify. You see items on shelves as common property which is unjustly hoarded and guarded. You see cops as violent oppressors upholding the unfair demands of the ruling class - but you also see them as human, able to be avoided, fooled, and fought
Practice illegalism daily to see past the smoke and mirrors that make it look like the way things are is the way they must be. A better world is possible
I think having sex with kids is bad but i dont wanna lose all the good u do on here
As a CSA victim myself, I don’t think adults should be fucking children. I just don’t think there should be any demographic of people who can be used as an excuse to kill or even harm anyone else by existing, because the specter of the pedophile is actively used by white supremacists and transmisogynists as an excuse to kill and harm Black and Transfemme people, CSA victims, and cause actual CSA prevention tools/centers to be unable to help victims because they must wade through a sea of useless and hyperbolic reports. I’m a staunch abolitionist and believe every person has the right to bodily autonomy including the right to not be killed or harmed unless EVERY POSSIBLE OTHER METHOD OF REPARATION AND RECONCILIATION HAS FAILED. Unless it is an act of self defense or an individual, group, or organization refuses to stop actively harming others where violence has become the only answer, nobody should be being killed, harmed, or exiled in the name of a false premise of “justice” as a first, second, third, or anything but last responses.
None of us are free until all of us are free, including those we hate, those we fear, those we detest. As long as there is a way to make any demographic of people into a monster who anything can be done to, you, too, can be named as that monster and have anything done to you.
That’s why I believe too that, despite everything I’ve seen them do, they’ve done to me and others, to this world, even the absolute sludge of humanity like white people deserve inalienable and equal human rights as real people
Let it be known that if staff ever gets around to killing me here, I have 0 actual pedo content on my 13 year old blog like the anti-ISFF brigade are hunting for, and they killed me for being a Black transfemme cripple that hates whites, was loudly pro-Black and Abolitionist, and wouldn’t let people say that killing anyone they can label as something for fun with no actual proof is good, actually.
Speaking as someone who has actually had multiple people threaten them with lynching, who’s been falsely accused of everything under the sun to justify extrajudicial “justice” within communities, who has been functionally enslaved in the current age and heard and shared the stories of others who have been as well:
Those of you who behave this way would’ve been having picnics and taking family photos as strange fruit hung not too long ago, and I hope that until you change and better yourself, the fate you deserved then and now hunts you like you did every person you’ve doggedly done everything you could to make sure that they would die by their own hand. You will find that selling out others, being “the good ones”, will not save you even before they run out of targets, and soon, it’ll be you hounded in your every waking moment. May this be an impetus to change, before your meat feeds the pack you once ran with.
Art should propagandize the agitated and agitate the propagandized
I need hearing people to understand that deaf people who gained their deafness young have a lifetime of trauma from hearing people. no matter what level of hearing loss a person has that person has been abandoned and abused for it a thousand times over
as a deaf person you are expected to take the hard route every single day. hearing people are never expected to meet you where you are at. despite this, when you struggle, you are accused of "not caring." when you do this too much you are inevitably abandoned for being inconvenient
so when you encounter a deaf person who has no interest in interacting with you remember why. remember that this person has been hurt by hearing people a thousand times.
I am a strong believer in deaf unity in that there is no reason the divide the deaf community between the labels "deaf" and "hard of hearing." I think it is unnecessary and creates an artificial divide between us that prevents us from uniting for a better, deafer world.
I am a strong believer in the idea that united communities have more collective power.
The idea that all people with any level of hearing loss can be deaf has arisen as a popular belief about deaf and Deaf community members alike. In particular, the Deaf community is being threatened by the rise in cochlear implant use further allowing parents to avoid sending their children to Deaf school and teaching them a sign language. It is vital for the survival of our community that we welcome in everyone with hearing loss who wants to join the community. There is no reason that people with milder hearing loss must be kept outside.
I would say this extends to the little d deaf community as well.
The world mistreats all deaf people. We have an obligation to improve this for the future generations of deaf people. We have an obligation to protect our children and create a better world for them- a world that will welcome their deafness rather than attempt to eradicate it. This can only be achieved if we recognize that people labeled "deaf" and people labeled "hard of hearing" have more in common than not, and that we must fight together.
I constantly see people talking on my posts about any level of deafness with how they relate but are "only hard of hearing." They deny themselves the right to relate. This is a consistent theme and I think it highlights what I am talking about- that we have more in common than a hearing person would think. A hearing person looks at someone with mild hearing loss who can struggle through a conversation without hearing aids and a profoundly deaf person who cannot hear anything at all and they think "these people have nothing in common." While it is true that there is a large difference in experience that should be respected and considered when discussing deafness there is the uniting common experience of audism. All deaf people experience audism to some degree. Audism can look different depending on the level of hearing loss a person has, whether they sign or speak, whether they use assistive technology, etc. but it is present in the life of every deaf person.
I do not think it is co-opting a term to describe yourself as deaf with mild or moderate hearing loss. You are describing your relationship to the hearing world. You are describing your experiences. Deafness is not a medical diagnosis! There is no reason to medicalize this label. When discussing medical concerns we already have terms, terms that are more specific than the broad "deaf" and "hard of hearing."
Where is deafness even supposed to begin? Where is hard of hearing supposed to end? Who defines these categories? Everyone has different answers.
When I use the word "deaf" on my blog I am referring to all people with hearing loss. I am opening up my posts to anyone with hearing loss who relates or understands the struggle against audism. I do not believe in dividing us.
If you still want to identify yourself as hard of hearing after reading this then that is your right but do not feel like you have to be confined to that label. Do not feel like you are not allowed to discuss deafness and audism. Do not feel like you are not allowed to relate to other deaf people.
We are stronger united.
Deaf people have double the suicide rate that hearing people do. If you're hearing, put that number in your head, really think about how high that is. This is especially true if you're queer and/or surrounded by people who have experienced suicidal ideation. Think about just how appalling that number is. Think about what double that number would be like in your community.
The Deaf community literally saves lives. What drives d/Deaf people to suicide is isolation.
well i can’t just learn sign language it’s not that easy” my dude do you think it’s easy to learn english when your first language isn’t english and you literally can’t hear or can barely hear it?? be serious. deaf and hard of hearing people have been forced for centuries to learn spoken and written languages just to survive in a hearing world that refuses to meet us halfway. meanwhile hearing people act like learning the alphabet and some basic signs is the same as climbing mount everest.
i learned french → norwegian → english → russian → english again (after my hearing got worse) → and now i’m learning asl. and let me tell you, learning any language when you can’t rely on your hearing is exhausting. you’re relying on subtitles, lip reading, interpreters—basically anything that might help you keep up in conversations you’re already shut out of. and lip reading? it’s not a superpower, it’s educated guesswork. a ton of words look the same on the lips. sometimes you’re basically reading context clues from vibes alone.
and the whole “just talk louder” crowd doesn’t get it—talking to people is draining. every conversation is a mental marathon. you’re tracking faces, piecing together fragments, filling in blanks, and trying not to get mocked when you miss something. people act like the only communication method worth learning is spoken language, yet the second they have to put in even a fraction of the work we’ve been doing our whole lives, they tap out.
newsflash: learning sign language isn’t impossible. it’s not even the hardest thing you’ll ever do. you just don’t want to. you’re comfortable in a world that caters to you, so you think effort is optional. but if we can bend over backwards to learn the language of a world that shuts us out, you can take the time to learn the language that lets us in.
if you can memorize tiktok dances, song lyrics, and your starbucks order, you can memorize the asl alphabet and some basic conversational signs. it’s not about “being nice,” it’s about respect. so either learn sign language or accept that you’re choosing to be part of the problem.
btw the amount of Gazans who have been killed while standing in line waiting for fucking food and water (875 civilians) has surpassed the Israeli civilian death toll of Oct. 7 (736 civilians)

Hello comrades,
I am sending out a request for design ideas. Please comment or repost.
We are Deaf people in DC organized in PalAction.
This is for a fundraiser for a Deaf Palestinian.
In the heart of Washington, DC, United States, a comrade and I (both Deaf organizers) are selling postcards to fundraise for our Deaf friend Omar in Gaza. We have two ideas already (person in kuffiyah with heart) and a concept for “From DC to Gaza, Globalize the Intifada”. I want to have our post cards printed by the 16th to fundraise on the 17th at an organized flea market.
Please comment or reblog if possible.
