Imane Khelif speaks after her victory:

"I was born a girl, I grew up a girl, I studied as a girl and I fought like a girl. Those who attacked me? Of course, they were enemies of glory. But, without them, my victory would not have been so satisfying."]

Oh hey it's the 2nd of August. It's international Romani genocide memorial day. 79 years and still the vast majority of countries don't give a fuck about it nor recognize it. Hell on Earth everywhere

[djuvlipen]

It's been 80 years since the Nazis liquidated the Romani family camp in Auschwitz, killing 4,000 people in a single night. Most countries don't recognize it and most European countries continue to treat us like shit

maybe i'm stepping out of line here but a cis algerian woman being called a "biological male" to slander her in post is just as much racism as it is transmisogyny. a lot of transmisogynistic rhetoric is in fact, misogynoir in a new shirt is it true that it invokes the specter of a grotesque mockery of "real womanhood" by being too masculine? yes. except "real womanhood" here means whiteness. women of color are always by default degendered in a similar way that transfeminine people are. it's not transmisogyny hitting the wrong target, it's the same racism we've always faced the whole time. we are denied the status of "woman" when it would benefit us because we are physically deemed unfit for it by RACE. it does not fundamentally matter if she really does have an abnormal karyotype or not because a white cis intersex woman would not have been discussed this way (i'm saying this as an intersex POC)

Damn, 3 people immediately unfollowed.

I do not know what I want to do with this blog. I don't know very many people here anymore. Occasionally I'll see a username that's familiar, someone I used to see in my notifications or just around, and it feels so weird. Tumblr did a number on my mental health - I was trying to do too much with very little support - but I don't want to just forget all of it either.

[fuckingrapeculture]

Weirder still is to check the followers on my own personal blog and see how many stopped posting 3, 4, 5 years ago. Kind of sad I don't and likely won't ever know what happened to them and if they're well.

after ????? years, the inbox is open.

[fuckingrapeculture]

just out of curiosity... who's still here that's been following since like, 2014?

[mean-vampyre]

Don't "noo please not neil" or "the only man I trusted" it, that man is on tumblr because he loves the mass of adoring fans screaming about his genius. He is not a down to earth quirky blogger, he is the stereotype of asshole author that takes advantage of people blinded by his fame

it’s “believe all victims” until your lame white man blorbo who writes shitty books gets exposed as a predator. then suddenly it’s a right wing conspiracy actually

Actually, I want to do a study of regret rates for Harry Potter-themed tattoos versus regret rates for gender confirmation surgeries, because my naive suspicion is that the former are considerably higher at this point.

Jury says Trump must pay E. Jean Carroll $5 million for sexual abuse and defamation

Former President Donald Trump denies sexually assaulting writer E. Jean Carroll in a New York department store decades ago.

A jury has reached a verdict at the civil trial where former President Donald Trump is accused of raping and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll.

Deliberations by the nine-member jury began after Judge Lewis Kaplan gave the panel final instructions and a verdict form in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

Carroll, 79, alleged in a lawsuit that Trump sexually assaulted her in a dressing room of the Bergdorf Goodman department store in the mid-1990s.

Johnny Depp made it harder for women to be believed about domestic violence and sexual assault. THANK YOU JOHNNY!!!

When MRAs and rape supporters (but I repeat myself...) are the ones celebrating alongside you, you should probably rethink your position.

it’s funny to me when men respond to “i fear men so i avoid them” with “oh yeah? Well I’m gonna avoid women!” because that’s like no threat whatsoever. I am zero percent bothered by this. You go right ahead, buddy.

But Jumping Fences Never Leads To Trouble!

I’m the night auditor at a hotel with a major homeless problem. Every night, it’s something or someone new.

It’s around 11:45 and I’m forty-five minutes into my shift. This man walks in, goes straight to the TV in the lobby, and feels around for the button to turn it on.

Man: “Can I have the remote?”

Me: “Do you have a room here?”

Man: “Yes.”

Honestly, I don’t feel like being wrong in a confrontation if the man is, in fact, a guest, so I don’t question it.

Once he falls asleep, though, that’s where I draw the line. That’s it. I yell, ‘Sir,” at least ten times and flicker the lights on and off. Nothing.

So, I get up, go upstairs, get a stray luggage cart that I know makes a ton of noise, and come back to “put it up”. The squeaky mess of a cart wakes him up as I pass him, and he looks at me like I’m the villain in his story — the evil woman that won’t let him sleep on the couch in her place of business.

Me: “Sir, you can’t sleep here. You need to go up to your room or you need to leave.”

He gets up, huffs, and walks right out the door. I watch him go off in an odd direction, not out of the parking lot at all. He goes right around the building to the pool and HOPS THE FENCE.

I go right out to the glass door and stand there with my arms crossed until he notices me. He finds my presence funny. I don’t. I unlock the door with my master key.

Me: “If you have to jump the fence, you probably shouldn’t be here.”

He feigns insanity and confusion. He’s disoriented now, his eyes are squinting, and I’m no longer funny.

Man: “I was just charging my phone.”

Me: “No, you’re not. You’re out by the pool, and there isn’t a phone. You were asked to leave and you’re sneaking around.”

He sucks his teeth; now I’m just annoying to him.

Man: “Well, can I come through that door, then?”

Me: “No. I kicked you out of the hotel. You can wait right there until the police come.”

He found a way in; he can find a way out if he wants to. Then, I close the door and walk away, already dialing the non-emergency line.

He knocks on the door.

Man: “You don’t have to call the police for this! This is doing too much!”

Maybe it was, but at that point, I had to make a stand and set an example.

The cops came, and they eventually found him and served him a trespassing notice, and I got a happy, spiteful ending.

Imagine being such a POS you brag about siccing the cops on a homeless man for trying to find someplace to sleep. The descriptions of OP as not funny, annoying, spiteful, and evil fit her to a T.
