Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

alagaisia

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

So many people hate their own body so much and are so casually fatphobia toward themself and the thing is, when you're not, when you've healed yourself enough that you can look at yourself and say "my body is just a body that does body things" it becomes nearly impossible to be around people who openly hate their bodies. It feels like they're flinging their muck all over you, and you gotta shake yourself out so it doesn't stick. And misery really does love company. They'll talk about how fat they are and how they can't eat this or that or wear certain clothes or cut their hair short, and they want you to lament with them. And you gotta not, okay? You gotta not. You gotta walk away from that shit.

And you HAVE to pay attention to the things you say about your own body in front of other people, lest you become the person flinging your muck onto others.

TMEs the second something bad happens to transfems:

But look at some other notable reporting on this topic from supposedly queer-friendly NPR. Note how frequently the discussion pivots from transfems to TME people. Note how the bans always focus on transfems but the "experts" are rarely transfem. Note how frequently we are minimized and dismissed as a tiny minority. Note how often economic impacts are discussed in lieu of the fact that this is just dehumanization plain and simple. And go through the other examples with these ideas in mind.

It's not just NPR, but it's notable that the network frequently cited as the most left-leaning and socially accepting news network in the States has a glaring transmisogyny problem.

white europeans love to pretend like the united states and europe aren’t two cheeks of the same ass

hiimneptune

Listen, nobody who's ever opened a history book says we didn't do that shit first. Pick an atrocity and chances are there was a time europeans did it on mass to someone for the sake of profit. The difference, is that we have for the most part put that behind us, while the US is just sinking deeper and deeper into it. We're not perfect, and we were a lot worse in the past. But it has been a while since we were the problem

momoboyds

so the racism, antiblackness, islamophobia, and hatred for immigrants just disappeared huh

creatingblackcharacters

"its been a while since we were the problem" someone Black was murdered by police violence in Ireland last month

creatingblackcharacters

THERE ARE POGROMS HAPPENING AGAINST IMMIGRANTS, MUSLIMS, AND PEOPLE OF COLOR IN IRELAND AND SCOTLAND AS WE SPEAK

missmarvella

I will also add that up here in Canada we love to pretend we are better than the US but one example of how we are on that same ass cheek is all the corruption within our police (acab). In the last three months we found out that:

3 Toronto cops flashed their badges after assaulting a woman in Barcelona

7 Toronto cops were charged with corruption, including leaking info to organized crime, planning murder, etc

16 Montreal cops "are under investigation for racist and hateful acts allegedly committed against Black and Arab people during police stops". Basically 1/3 of the cops from that station were so racist, other cops came forward to complain, and most have them have kept their jobs within the police force, just relocated.

An ableism that sometimes really pops out of people is allergies (+including gluten free either due to intolerance or esp celiac).
