@glitterpeachdelusion
he can fucking choke, you just found out your son killed a bunch of people and the first thing you think is “was he gay?” this man should fry with his son
also PORNSTAR?!?!
This dude's porn name is Dick Delaware and if I'm not mistaken he was on Intervention.
Trainwreck family.
Literally why is US football still allowed??
This is what CTE looks like in the brain
Helmets are made to stop skull damage, not concussion. There is no helmet that can prevent concussion. They aren't really even designed for that
But I'd also point out that rugby has the worst rate of concussions of any sport, so I don't know how accurate her hypothesis is
But in terms of highschoolers, oh yeah. It's so fucked up. And as @watermelinoe pointed out eloquently in her tags, there's a push for young black boys and men into football to do better for oneself bootstraps way, and end up funneled into a horribly damaging sport for public entertainment
this also is a feminist issue because so many of these men end up abusing and murdering women. sometimes it's a steadily personality change, sometimes it's just one day they go from being normal to picking up a gun and annihilating their whole family.
and also, there is almost no research on cte in women, who likely have high rates of it due to domestic abuse. women in prostitution and porn, women who were beaten as children and teens, women beaten by boyfriends and husbands for years, decades.
but yeah, sports that have this high a rate of permanent injury should either be illegal or restricted to adults. in nz, of course we have rugby, which is big from a young age. as of a few years ago, tackle rugby cannot be done in elementary (we instead have ripper rugby, which is where you have a belt with velcro tags that get ripped off instead of you getting tackled), and is pretty restricted in highschool unless you are on an actual team that does national and regional competitions (so, not great, but kids are safer). we also had a game called tackle bullrush that had to be completely banned from schools due to the severity of injuries in children from broken bones to repeat concussions.
thinking about it.....nz has an insanely high rate of domestic and child abuse, i wonder how much this contact sports culture from an early age contributed. because the damaging sports were only banned for 5-11 year olds like 10-15 years ago, i played them as a kid.
On a related note
Question: Has any woman who stopped wearing makeup noticed any adverse social impacts?
I personally have not noticed anything. People treat me exactly the same. BUT! This could be because I work with affluent people, and affluent women tend to wear less makeup (usually just tinted moisturizer, tinted lip balm, eyebrow gel & eyelashes). It may also be because I don't have any noticeable skin ailments besides the occasional pimple and hyperpigmentation. I'm a darkskin black woman so those ailments are even less noticable.
I ask because the common response women give when you gently tell them to consider no makeup is that society will be hostile to them.
When I was in high school I caught some flack for not wearing makeup too often. Nothing serious. When I got my first job as a cashier/drivethru at a restaurant I caught more flack from it but when you're directly in the kitchen near the heat it doesn't matter as much. When I started waitresssing I got tons of shit for it. When I was doing med tech work/nursing related work I didn't get much hate for it because it was more of a hygeine thing.
But when I went back to waitressing and I was more desperate to make money and be successful I started wearing makeup every single day and it made people take me way more seriously. Hair done, makeup done, push-up bra. I got paid but I hated it. And on the off days I didn't feel like doing it I was definitely treated differently.
You'll find that in a customer-facing job where management judges you on your "personability" that makeup and some amount of hair styling is 100% necessary. Especially of there's any amount of sales involved.
It’s amazing how many normie women will agree with the basic concepts of radical feminism if you don’t frame them as Radical Feminism™. Things like porn culture, sex vs gender, male violence, are all observable and radfem conclusions are logical. It’s just when you start bringing out the theory of why it’s like this that women get skittish. Which is understandable—fully understanding the breadth and depth of misogyny is scary, and for a lot of women, it’s too much, and they will disengage.
But some women won’t, and while they might not read Dworkin or call themselves radfems, they’ll be more aware of how to protect and love themselves and other women, and might become politically active if they weren’t already. That’s the end goal for me—I don’t really care what women call themselves, I’m just happy they’re striving for female solidarity and class consciousness, even if they don’t use those words.
“Real victims of crime dont want criminals to go to jail” ask rape and incest and child abuse and domestic abuse victims that. Very convenient how total prison abolitionists literally only talk about things like non violent burglary.
And what- because SOME victims dont want their abusers to go to prison that means ALL victims feel that way? Die
I will accept prison abolition only under the condition that we reinstate the penal colony system. Ship all violent criminals to fucking Easter Island and set up a live stream called lordoftheflies.com.
Ladies, I have returned.
I'm sorry I was ever gone. I left because I forgot myself. But I'm fucking back now and you can't stop me from making this post bitching about my ex boyfriend. Behold.
Haven't spoken to my boyfriend in 5 days.
I hung up on him when he called me "f*cking stupid" and said he didn't know why he even bothered speaking to me at all anymore. "Why?" You might ask.
Because he tried to tell me that women being allowed to join the military is apart of a global communist plot to weaken the US armed forces, and I guess the WEF and Klaus Schwab were involved somehow???
I was with this man for almost 4 years (he's 38 and I'm 30). And over the last 6 months or so he really let his freak flag fly with the misogyny. When Roe was overturned, I was horrified and ready to go on a crusade. He said that no one actually cared as much as I did and I was in a small minority. (Midterms determined that was a lie[/mauryvoice]) He kept bringing up weird shit about women and it would almost always devolve into an argument. Womens right to vote was actually not that great for women at the time, women are so privileged in family court/divorce, men only want a woman who is obedient and submissive and attractive, etc etc.
Now the kicker of this whole thing is that we've pretty much been LDR since he *made me a truck driver* at the start of our relationship. He got me into a highly independent and lucrative male dominated field. And ladies. I'm fucking *killing it*. I'm a single mom, i'm 30 years old. My house is gonna be completely paid off this summer. Each year I make more and more money and within 2 or 3 more years I can stop doing this and work part time training fucking gerbils to be support animals or whatever once my debts are paid.
I say all this because I had the sudden realization today that all of this started because about 6 months ago I started making more money than him. He got me into my company. He rage quit over some drama last year. He has been trying to find a better logistics company for an entire year and he has problems at every single one. My company, the one he left, will not take him back because of how he left. He's been trying to undercut my success ever since and apparently the only logical reason for my success and his failure is that I'm succeeding at my job because i'm a woman and people are nicer to me.
And women are only successful because its a plot to destroy America or some shit.
Bro.... i'm gonna have to let you travel down that rabbit hole all by yourself. You are absolutely insane and good luck finding a tradwife that you don't eventually accuse of being a gold digger.
I will not be calling him back, and the first thing I'm doing is ordering band shirts and converse high tops and shorts since that is my fucking aesthetic and i stopped wearing all that stuff because he said it was childish.
I SHIT YOU NOT IT HAPPENED AGAIN.
Jesus fucking Christ you know when we asked for prison reform we didn't mean this shit.
No one told you to release violent criminals.
You may want to know about the case of Melissa Lucio. I’ve tried to share and get the word out. I feel like radblr would want to rally around this woman. In particular: anyone in Texas PLEASE call about it. Her case is disturbing to read about though. It’s a death penalty charge against a woman for the accidental death of her toddler. A weak confession was coerced out of her with police interrogating her right after her child died hours and hours. Her pregnant at the time. Lucio has a history of surviving csa and being abused by relatives as well. I am so so cynical but can’t believe they want to execute her. And they do.
women, especially texan women: there is something you can do! you can possibly save this woman’s life. she is set to be executed NEXT MONTH. call the D.A. Saenz at 956-300-3881 and push him to withdraw the execution date. this is something women should get together and help another woman for. she should at least get a fair trial which it seems she did not get. you can view this link for more info:
Melissa Lucio faces execution in less than 50 days in Texas for a crime that never occurred. Join the Innocence Project by adding your name.
other women, i encourage you to reblog this and make this issue known.
I’m not going to stop reblogging this shit to every post made about this case until yall decide to share the entire story. Unless falling down the stairs can somehow cause your hair to rip out at the roots, kidney damage and fucking BITE marks all over your back the defense is lying their ass off. Someone beat this two year old to death.
Read the fucking wikipedia, the trial transcripts and the damn news articles. Now if you want to argue whether or not her mom was the one who actually did it that’s fine by me but I will not tolerate people waving off physical abuse and the murder of a toddler as a “tragic accident” for political points. That’s horse shit.
in the reblogs someone mentioned that one of her daughters confessed to having pushed the 2 year old down the stairs among other things. the entire point here is that the accusation against the mother being behind this killing is super flimsy and practically baseless, not that there can’t possibly be anyone behind it. no one should be put to death over a suspicion with a very weak basis.
I agree there's enough evidence to stay the execution of the mother, but I am absolutely disgusted that the website known for labelling literally any negative action a form of abuse is willing to overlook the mountain of physical evidence that this two year old was literally beaten to death slowly(for up to 7 weeks if you include the broken arm that was never treated!!!). The more people call it a tragic accident, the angrier I get. It wasn't an accident.
Say it wasn't her, but the other daughter. If one of your children is abusing your other child that severely for that long and it ends in the death of said child, you as the parent are fucking culpable. Morally and legally.
They didn't just lock this woman up for no reason. My feminism extends to female children as well.

A woman is going to be wrongfully executed next month for a crime she did not commit. Her case was used as a political ploy, and a false confession was produced by gross police misconduct.
Her name is Melissa Lucio and she’s going to die this April.

Melissa Lucio faces execution in less than 60 days in Texas for a crime that never occurred. Join the Innocence Project by adding your name.
On Feb. 8, Lucio’s lawyers filed a motion to withdraw or modify her April 27 execution date, arguing she was denied a fair trial and wrongfu
Not only did Ms. Lucio not commit a crime, the crime never happened. It was completely fabricated. Everything she was accused of is disproven by mountains of evidence and testimony. She lost her toddler daughter in a tragic accident and was baselessly blamed. In an already traumatic situation, when she was grieving for her baby and should’ve been surrounded by the healing love of family and community, she was kidnapped and now might be murdered by the government. No matter how you feel about the death penalty (though I would hope this case, and the many others like it, will inform your stance), this woman is not being executed as punishment for wrongdoing. She is being killed as punishment for being a poor Latina woman. The state is also injuring and traumatizing her children (including the twins she gave birth to in prison and was forced to give up for adoption) by taking their mom away. This is white supremacist murder and state terrorism, plain and simple.
I dunno man, someone was obviously beating the shit out of that little girl for a while. Various stages of healing over all of the injuries, and a partially healed broken arm that was not treated? That's fucking abuse.
If not her parents, then who did all that to a 2 year old girl?
So she was a homeless drug addict with 14 children and previous CPS involvement and a history of neglect... and her youngest child turns up dead with a whole bunch of suspicious injuries that the medical examiner believes to be consistent with prolonged abuse.
This isn't exactly a fucking reach.
But, is this direct, damnable evidence that Melissa Luciano beat her kid to death? No.
Now, this alone is enough to halt the execution in my opinion:
There's enough here to give reasonable doubt. Who's to say it wasn't her boyfriend that actually murdered Mariah, or one of her older children? I mean, yeah. She could be innocent. Legally, not morally.
That doesn't change the fact that someone did in fact kill that little girl. You don't sustain those types of injuries from "falling down the stairs". And if somehow she did just accidentally do all that to herself... isn't not seeking proper medical attention for your child abuse in and of itself?
Imagine dying slowly for 2 days and the people who are supposed to love and protect you just let you fucking die in agony.
I'm not going to damn or absolve Melissa Lucio of killing her youngest child, but I most certainly would like the case to get a proper investigation.
And if we're going to be sharing stuff like this online, please share the whole story. Not just the one her defense attornies are spinning.
The phrase "whataboutism" is the worst thing to happen to public discourse and politics in my lifetime.
If I'm reading an online debate and one participant drops "whataboutism" in their response I deduct points for that shit.
There, I said it.
I have thoughts on what's going on in Florida right now. I mean, I'm probably preemptively blocked from like 95% of tumblr so I doubt the people who actually should read this will, but here it goes.
A brief disclaimer: part of this is my own personal opinion, part of this is the opinion of moderates, republicans, and democrats. I'm trying to bring you the perspective you probably aren't getting from the internet. Really, I'm trying to save the left from itself. I say a lot of this with love. Some of it with annoyance.
I'm seeing a future where Ron Desantis is the next president of the United States and everyone's gonna act like they took no part in setting the foundation.
I really think whoever is raging out about this bill actually needs to read it. Here's a link, its only like 3 pages.
Okay, so first of all. The actual title of this bill is the parental rights bill.
The prohibition of classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity is only applicable to grades K-3. It further goes on to say that children who are being sent for mental health services within the system must legally have their parent's notified by the school. Parent's can sue if they feel that the school is withholding potentially serious info about their kids. (I WONDER WHICH GROUP HAS ADVOCATED FOR CHILDREN TO BE GIVEN SECRET TREATMENT FOR CERTAIN CONDITIONS......)
The vast majority of Floridians support this bill. While yall are out here calling it the "Don't Say Gay Bill", supporters (many of whom are Republican, but there are also a ton of Democrats on board) are calling it the Anti-Grooming Bill.
You seriously need to consider if this is the hill you want to die on. You will not win this fight.
Because there is absolutely no way for you to argue this to people with children under the age of 9 years old without coming off as a child predator. The questions you will be asked are:
-Why do you want to teach young children about sex before they can even read?
-Why do you want children under the age of 9 to learn about transgender theory?
-Why do you think its okay for the state to bypass parental involvement in their children's mental health?
And whatever answer you give is going to sound an awful lot like child grooming. "But the child is being abused, we have to keep it a secret from their family". If a teacher suspects abuse, they call CPS and or police. They're mandated reporters. This is clearly not about parental abuse.
I have a lifetime of experience with Florida schools, both as a student and as a parent of a student in the age group this bill was designed for. Can I speak to whether or not these things were happening to the level that necessitates this bill? Maybe. A lot of people, myself included have felt that the school systems have cut our involvement out of the process to the point where we don't even know what our kids are doing. They're not bring home any homework, they haven't had conferences in years, academically they're falling behind, and our kids are telling us things that are deeply concerning(about teachers and other students). Things that should have maybe warranted a phone call. At the respect of not making this post far longer than it needs to be, my experience this past year was a total shit-show. I pulled my daughter out last month and have been homeschooling her ever since.
Republicans used the slogan of gays coming for your children for 50 years to deny you human rights.
Now parents are in a world where not only is the left arguing to teach sexual orientation and gender identity lessons to kids as young as 5 years old, they're arguing to medicalize children as young as 10-12 and offer them hormones and gender-affirming surgery for dysphoria. Don't say its not happening, because it obviously is. You are, quite literally at this point, coming for their children.
You're making the republicans look like prophets. You're making them look down-right reasonable. You're making Ron Desantis a serious contender for 2024.
And the more you reeee about this bill, and the more people read it, the worse you are going to look. You have been fucking played.
Reasons I deleted the reddit app part II:
All subs I once enjoyed have now become trans chick attention faucets and the original purpose has been stripped away to nothing.
Does that look like someone who would have been burned at the stake for witchcraft in the old days, or someone who would have participated in the burning.
