the autism thing of having to learn to preface every question you ask with Holy Shit I'm Just Curious Please Dont Yell At Me because it turns out a lot of questions seem to Mean Something and people will get mad if you ask them

[charl0ttan]

and usually its just asking Why

René Magritte, The Land of Miracles, 1964

i’m not going to call myself “the friend who’s too woke” or hedge around my opinion because this is my deeply considered belief: horror literature is the theater of disgust, and the disgust that drives the vast, vast majority of classic horror media from the 1890s-1940s—dracula, jekyll and hyde, king kong, nosferatu, the mummy, universal frankenstein, the wolf man, cthulhu, and more—is the exact disgust that drove the worldwide tide of violence in the 1930s and 40s, a tide that has never fully receded, and you have NO business adapting a piece of classic horror media if you aren’t willing to put in the work to identify what is portrayed as disgusting in that property and enter into some form of dialogue with it. if you don’t want your movie to be “about” race or class or gender or sexuality or ability, you’re free to choose a source material that isn’t already about that, but unluckily for you giant hypersexual apes do not exist in a vacuum

I think if you are going to have fulfilling and safe feeling sexual experiences, you really do have to be willing to turn someone down if they reveal themselves to be a bad fit in any stage of the sexual negotiation process, and be able to bring the sex to a halt the moment that you're not enjoying it and don't want to be doing it anymore. This really is a vital skill to develop in order to ensure that you are actually enforcing your own boundaries, and it will lead to you having sex that is more in line with your actual desires too.

The first time that I stood up in the middle of riding a guy and went "nah this sucks I'm going home," and left right then and there was the day that i unlocked unlimited power. we tell people a lot that a sexual partner can say no to them at any time but we don't teach people how to actually honor their own no and bring things to a stop for any reason and that leads to a lot of people feeling like they have no choice but to be dishonest, and having begrudging unfun sex.

This goes for kink scenes too!!!

I hate how it's always "stop letting your teenagers drink energy drinks!!!" And never "stop letting energy drink companies put dangerous amounts of caffeine into their drinks and stop letting them market to teenagers" or "stop forcing teenagers to be at constant sleep deficits because of early wake ups and absurd homework and stress loads" but hey who cares why not blame the literal child for trying to stay awake enough to match the absurd expectations y'all have for us now

I think more people need to remember and keep in mind that behind every single mass-produced plush that exists on this planet is a factory worker who has had to operate machinery in order to make these products. There is not a single factory out there that can make plushies entirely by machine, which is why it is so important to hold toy companies accountable for their workspace conditions.

No plush is worthy of existing if it is made from slave labour.

[trinketfairy]

This goes for companies like Makeship and Youtooz, as well as Kickstarter projects too. I've supported some of these in the past, but I'm becoming wary of them over time because I don't know where many of these plushies are being produced.

Don't be afraid to ask questions. Where are they being made? Is the artist in contact with the factory making their products? What kind of conditions are the employees working under? Are they being paid fairly in comparison to the retail price of the product?

I don't think every indie Kickstarter project is inherently bad, but I do want artists to actually do their research and start being upfront and truthful about the conditions of the factories they're working with. Not all factories in the Global South/SEAsia are sweat shops—for example, Chinese factories have generally improved in their factory conditions and worker salary. But when you sign up for manufacturing anything, you have a responsibility to do your due-diligence and make sure you're not exploiting people.

i know most leftists agree that everybody should have a right to food, water, shelter, and healthcare but i think a vitally important fifth pillar is privacy. people should not be compelled to be tracked, monitored, or to share personal space with others to access their other essential rights

"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" is and always has been fascist rhetoric everyone.

[doomhamster]

To paraphrase the late, great Sir Terry Pratchett... the innocent have a great deal to fear. Mostly from the kind of people who use the phrase "the innocent have nothing to fear".
