Seeking asylum is a human right. Only 1 in 100 sea captains are female. This woman is a humanitarian, not a criminal. #FreePia”

To all the people commenting that she’s an accessory to “illegal immigration,” note that seeking asylum is a human right. Countries which refuse asylum are in violation of the Geneva Convention. They get away with this and propagandize complacency towards the victims by using bureaucracy to complicate immigration proceedings. During times of genocide, this is tantamount to hearing a would-be murder victim knocking on your door and locking the deadbolt.

People who risk dying getting smuggled across borders do so out of sheer desperation because the situation they’re leaving is worse. Finally, you are missing the entire point: violation of the law is warranted when the laws violate human rights and criminalize existence. Laws which call immigrants “illegal” are tools of a systemic negligence designed to condemn those who need legal protection the most.

Oh and here’s the petition to #FreePia.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Hiding Jewish people or smuggling them out of Germany was illegal too.

as of 10 february 2023, the petition is still just short of its goal of 500k signatures.

When I walked home from work today, I had to pass under a bridge, and as I got close, I heard voices. There were three women under it, maybe in their late teens or early 20s. One was leaning on a pillar, laughing, and the other two were, well, I can't tell you what exactly they were doing, maybe dancing, or wrestling? Or maybe they were trying some kind of gymnastics move?

One put her leg high up, and the other held onto it, and the next thing I knew they both fell over, on top of each other, gasping with laughter. They remained in a pile, laughing together, looking so infectiously happy. I walked past them smiling, quickly, so I don't disturb the exercise, I've rarely ever seen women looking so free and happy in public.

I kept grinning all the way back home. Just seeing women enjoying themselves, not caring if they're seen or heard, laughing and forming a pile on the floor, not caring it was all wet and dirty, not caring about strangers passing by, made me feel so much better about everything. Surely things are okay if this is happening. How do we get more of that?

I was walking in the city today, and was waiting at the traffic lights to cross a road. A motorbike driver was waiting in the road for the lights to change too, and I realised - through the huge leathers and helmet over half her face - that she was a woman, a gender non-conforming woman. A woman like me. We were the only people using that small segment of road. I looked into her mirrored visor, to catch the eyes I couldn’t see, and nodded, to indicate I wanted to cross. She nodded back, then broke out in the most amazing smile (so I almost fell down breathless while crossing the road and smiling back). Then the lights changed and she roared off on her enormous motorbike.

Surely things are okay, if women like her are ruling the roads.

Girl your pussy is so deep and cavernous it is like a spring-fed lagoon. And I am splashing in the cool crystal waters.

Isn’t it astounding that in spite of six thousand years of sexual, physical, and psychic brutality, women and girls STILL have to be beaten into submission or else we’d all run wild?  And isn’t it amazing that in spite of the ongoing beatings, girls are still wild in the first place, some even stay wild, and even domesticated women can go feral at the drop of a hat?

Isn’t female resilience a fucking thing to behold?  And yet here are these “from the DAWN of TIME” and “it has ALWAYS BEEN” and “there’s NO HOPE” posts, all over radblr, all the time?  It’s like none of you are paying attention to the rest of the story.

…we are confronting not a simple maintenance of inequality and property possession, but a pervasive cluster of forces, ranging from physical brutality to control of consciousness, which suggests that an enormous potential counterforce is having to be restrained.

So I'm reading for an art history class, and Baudrillard is talking about the trends in colour usage from generation to generation (mostly in interior design, but there's definite spillover into fashion, architecture, etc.), and how every new colour movement is a direct rebellion against the previous one, like how the bright colours of the 60s/70s were a direct response to the austerity and seriousness of the WWII/postwar era, and how a shift back to organized, moralistic neutrals were a direct rejection of 60s/70s gaudiness, etc., and that all makes sense, people find their parent's style tacky, sure

But he goes on to observe how we've now been stuck in a lull of pasty tones and naturalistic finishes for some time, and I'm thinking yes, he's so right, but that's weird, because its been hanging around for so long, like what is it rebelling against anymore? What is it answering to? Well all I had to do was be patient because lo and behold, Baudrillard provides the following sentence, which caused me to completely wig out:

"...except of course, for the spheres of advertising and commerce, where colour's power to corrupt enjoys full rein"

And I'm like ooohhhhHHHHHH, so this colourless minimalist wasteland of a design principle:

Is maybe hanging on so stubbornly because this corporate hellscape:

is assaulting all of our eyes, inside and outside of our homes, every waking second, and is tainting the very concept of colour into something we can't relax around in our living spaces.

hehe neat i’m derangedposting on main. even as a tumblr veteran who witnessed this brand of identitycrafting take shape before going somewhat mainstream, i must say again what i have been saying for years. i stood alone in my online castigation and i never faltered, i never deleted, i never remade, i survived every bullet like 50 Cent in his prime. i fear no call out post. so i’m gonna just say maybe we need to invalidate some of your identities a tiny bit more. invalidation is a necessary tool that is often misused. What are you people doing. What are you saying. i always said it was a mistake to reward everyone who had a case of special snowflake syndrome and faced no real privation for their sex/love/and even *gasp* gendered lives, by allowing them to brand themselves as a nebulous “queer” online and roleplay oppression they only understood not through lived experience but through Online Posting Online. it was a mistake to attribute this bastardization and misuse of identity politics to “queers” at all. instead i will lead the charge as i always have and say a lot of you people are misogynists at worst or weird quirky heterosexuals at best with the LGBTQIA+Wiki opened in another tab so people don’t notice when you dress it up in illiterate zoomer “queer theory” language. society must make it cool for straights to simply be straight so they don’t have to abuse the worst developments that “queer theory” has offered in the last decade to sound hip and cool. and i am putting “queer theory” in quotes here because i honestly hesitate to call it this. there is some compelling writing in that genre. this is something else. this is an obsession with a paper thin conception of novelty and uniqueness. you’re straight, but straight is boring and uncool and outdated and also morally wrong, so you have to project your imagined novelty by cobbling these queer-sounding signifiers together like a fucked up pokedex. enough. i can’t take it anymore. this was funny a decade ago when it was contained to this wacky little insular website. this ain’t funny no more cause yall are serious bro i thought we all were trolling this whole time. this is all an illusion, mass gaslighting. none of this is real. who knows what a polyam mspec aromantic homosexual is, we don’t know what that is, you don’t even believe in what that is. Just say you’re quirky and different. It’s okay. We need to support quirky weirdos so they don’t feel left out. I agree. I always sat with the people who wore cat ears and did kamehameha hand motions in the school cafeteria. now they are online saying they are Weebmaxxing. When will we know peace.

I actually think that even if I am the last, youngest land womon in the US (I don’t see this happening) that lesbian lands as a concept will not have failed in this country, will in fact have succeeded very well.  Even if I am the last landyke, we will have shown how viable and vibrant lands can be for decades at a time.  No cultural institutions or groups last forever, but that doesn’t mean they failed.  Michfest didn’t “fail”, it succeeded in hosting tens of thousands of womyn at Michfest over 40 years.  It’s a testament to womyn’s power, even if it lives on as history and not a current reality.  Even if the only takeaway a hundred years from now is “ a bunch of lesbians bought land and lived on it, mostly during their lifetimes, with a second generation of womyn rare to come by on most lands,” that is really something.  You and your friends can buy your own collective land, live your lesbian lives out on it.  There’s a precedent out there, information and history available so that you can use that knowledge and set yourselves up to succeed, instead of going in blind, like they were doing in the 70′s and 80′s.  But friends just living together on lesbian land, that’s really only a small part of what lesbians lands are, and have been.

There have been a ton of artists who lived on/still live on lesbian land, painting, sculpting, writing books, writing political theory.  There have been tradeswomyn who travelled from land to land, doing electrical work, plumbing, carpentry, etc., largely making their living doing so.  Most of the womyn living on lands built, or helped build, their own house, expanding our ideas of who can learn carpentry, letting us know that almost any womon can with the right attitude and willingness to learn.  There have been massive amounts of guests, who visit, get inspired, and make changes in their own lives/communities.  There will always be old Maize magazines with our own words and articles to be read.  There are womyn who just made a point of travelling from land to land, because they can and they want to.  There are womyn who don’t live on lands, who visit and contribute to them, because they just believe in lesbian lands, used to believe in Lesbian Nation, and want to see lands thrive, even if it’s not for them.  You can read about lesbian lands in academic journals even, if that’s your thing.  I’ve met more than one academic interested in studying lesbian lands, and they even write up their own, outsider opinions on why certain lands thrive or not.  Lesbian lands have changed our ideas of what is possible for lesbians, and changed lesbian culture.

I also think permanence is a standard that isn’t applied to men’s institutions: a men’s project to form a land community can make history, or be considered notable, even if it didn’t last all that long.  Men’s creations don’t have to last forever to be considered historically and culturally significant; why should womyn’s?

I think lesbian lands have been very successful at expanding our ideas of what’s possible for us, even if I do have some concerns that in 10-20 years, there may be only a few left.  I think the history may become obscured over time; but that’s the lot of lesbian history.  We make and treasure our own history; no one else is doing that for us.  The legacy of the womyn’s land movement, even if it doesn’t survive another 50 years (I think it will), is out there for any lesbian who wants to find it.

Okay but legit, if you're not in a Buy Nothing group, seek out your closest one. We literally got a free washer and dryer once. We've gotten groceries, craft supplies, pet supplies, clothes, and all sorts of shit. It's awesome.

On top of that, Instead of donating our old unwanted stuff to places like Goodwill, which wildly mistreat their workers, Buy Nothing lets me donate things directly to my community, without the risk that the sorters at the thrift shop will just throw things in the trash. I've passed along open things of hair care products that I didn't wind up liking but that had nothing wrong with them. I've passed along snacks we didn't like, pet food we didn't wind up using, and all sorts of perishables that would have otherwise gone right in the garbage.

My local group even has regular meetups where people bring all their stuff at once, and it's like a giant garage sale where everything is free.

They have a damn near global presence, so check out the website if you're looking for a local group!
