Prison abolition isn’t a solution to interpersonal harm. It’s meant to be a solution for the violence of prisons.

[terminal-burrowing-deactivated2]

Worth pointing out that the violence of prisons is also not a solution to interpersonal harm

[missh2o2-deactivated20240228]

Murder is though

[terminal-burrowing-deactivated2]

Interpersonal harm is not a solution to interpersonal harm. I am immensely sympathetic to people who murder their abusers, but it is by no means an ideal outcome. Besides the deep trauma of killing another human being, how many abused people have complicated and difficult feelings towards their abusers? Abusers are, despite their cruelty, almost always romantic partners or family members. This is not to pardon them or make light of their actions, but to point out that many abuse victims struggle with the action of removing abusers from their lives due to these complex emotional ties, ties which the abuser often goes out of their way to strengthen and manipulate. 

Who decides that murder is an appropriate response? The abuse victim who may very well blame themselves, and refuse to hold the abuser accountable? Their friends? Cutting off outside ties and emotional support is a common tactic–they may not have any friends. Who commits the murder? Who buries the body? Who scrubs the blood out of the floorboards? Murder is not clean, is not easy, is not a quick ending that disappears a person forever and removes all their negative influences once and for all.

If the options for addressing interpersonal harm are “murder or nothing”, I would say that nine times out of ten the victim of harm would choose “nothing”

[yesdogsnomasters]

Also, who decides who is an abuser? Weaponization of (counter-)abuse accusations is a common abuse tactic and many people are way too ready to believe the first narrative they hear. Esp if it’s weilded against those they’re already primed to view as predatory (POC, trans women, etc)

How many lynchings have been justified by accusations of sexual assault?? Hmmm?

“Things that would kill a medieval peasant,” bro shut up, these people lived off of homegrown crops, hard bread and moldy cheese, they watched executions for fun. Your shitty “Feral White Girl” playlist isn’t going to hurt them, they’ll probably call your taste in music garbage and then drop some sick beats on the lute.

[melonisopod]

I’ve learned from this post that most of you don’t know a lot about history but I admire the confidence you have despite the lack of research.

[official-lucifers-child]

things that would kill a medieval peasant:

actual medicine

any flavour at all, like one single sugary starbucks coffee would shoot them to the moon and back

laser tag

pythagorean theorem

[parceltapepanda]

you do know that Pythagoras (greek, classical antiquity) was before the middle ages, right?

[official-lucifers-child]

do you think some farmer during the middle ages is gonna know what a triangle is let alone the theorem

Do…… do you think the Library of Alexandria was the only library?????

I notice alot of my followers on here skipping these posts just to mess with my lgbt ones, suspiciously the white popular ones.

Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

They were murdered in cold blood.

[indianterritory-deactivated2022]

hey you know it’s possible to include two spirits in the lgbt community who wish to be included while not including those who don’t want to be right?

and that no person in our community speaks for all of us? that not all of us hold the same view about being considered lgbt?

because i’m getting really tired of people continually telling everyone to not include us at all and encouraging people to remove the little amount of positivity that exists, and even telling us to stop including ourselves

include us who want to be included, dont include those that don’t want to be, and don’t say that none of us can be included because some people prefer not to be when no single person speaks for us all

basically, let us decide for ourselves

[indianterritory-deactivated2022]

this is ok to rb

[britomartis]

im just gonna add on bc i feel like a lot of ppl who arent native american misunderstand this bc they dont know what 2spirit like. MEANS. it was coined as a blanket term for pan-tribal usage (no this is not supporting pan-indigineity dw) since every tribe has their own gender identities & sexual orientations and etc.

for example, navajos have dilbaa and nadleehi, which are specific identities that fall under the umbrella of 2spirit (though i dont want to dismiss that recently there are people who will use a sort of non-denominational “2spirit” to refer to themselves the way someone might call themselves “queer”, for a whole variety of reasons).

so, because it’s already encompassing a ton of identities, you’ll get people who are like “oh im x y z gender but i dont consider myself lgbt because my identity already existed and was accepted pre-colonialism” or simply “i dont want to be referred to within the framework of a colonialist culture” or people who are like “yeah my identity existed pre-colonialism but now i suffer under the same sorts of discrimination so i consider myself lgbt” or “i’m mixed/raised off-rez and i feel a connection to both lgbt and 2spirit identities” and etc etc etc. every flavor under the sun! like i consider myself lgbt but NOT nonbinary since a binary never existed in my tribe in the first place, but some natives love the term nonbinary and consider themselves to be that, and that’s totally fine too.

like OP said it’s literally all up to the individual! because 2spirit isn’t an exact identity, it does no one any favors to leave us out entirely. (also disclaimer 2s is pretty complicated and there are some uses im leaving out for brevity lol)

Legion of Gays Roll Call

The legion of gays is now in session.

It is the purpose of the legion to align our infamous forces against the heterosexual patriarchy, leaving us the rulers of Manhood.

To do this, we have gathered here the 13 most infamous gays in all of faggotry

the sturdy Bottoms:

the perverse mind of the Pigs:

the aging Zaddies and the Jocks

the frenzied PNP gays and Masc4Masc guys

the DL men and the Bears

the Scene Queens and the ever-flexible Versatiles

the feminine yet ferocious Drag Queens and the hideous Twinks

not to mention the brilliant leadership of us, the Tops.

[shock]

happy pride month

Enemies to "I accidentally came across you while you were vulnerable and scared and I'm not a total asshole so I tried to help you" to "accidental mutual uncovering of softer sides and vulnerabilities" to "I can't be mean to you anymore, not out of pity but because it would feel weird betraying that brief truce we had" to "Fine I'll make an effort to be nice to you now I guess" to "actually now that we're not actively hating each other you're not so bad I guess" to "i think we're friends but I'm not going to say that because I'm afraid you're not gonna feel the same way" to "oh you also think we're friends? Great" to lovers

I feel like we always see parents who are 100% super supportive allies, or parents who are horrible and cruel.  At least in media or in the most popular stories.  But I feel like that ignores just how many people have parents where you just have no idea?  And even if you think they’ll accept you on a surface level, you don’t know if they have a breaking point.  Especially if you need to go on hrt, or request they change the way they think about and refer to you.  Sure they’re liberal and all, or centrists, or “tolerant”, but how far does that stretch?

I think most closeted LGBT+ kids live like this, wading around in the grey area.  I’d like it of more of us knew that was normal, I’d like if we talked about it more.

i hope every white person on here who made liking kpop and anime and kdramas and shit like that a part of their online identity is doing something to boost AAPI charities/mutual aid today.

lizard people is the most benign possible antisemitism but for some reason it hits me harder than overtly malicious antisemitism, i think bc it’s The Case Study of how easily an antisemitic trope can just become a normal part of everybodys vocab and after that ppl will fight you endlessly on whether or not its actually antisemitic 

[confusionofconfusions-deactivat]

i think also, to people who are not familiar with antisemitism (through experience or study or both), antisemitism often comes across as cartoonish or wildly antiquated, so that people are inclined to dismiss it as toothless. i mean, lizard people is super fucking silly. or, people don’t really believe jews drink the blood of christian children anymore, that’s medieval. then its on jews to put in the legwork pointing out the use of lizard people to describe zuckerberg’s physical appearance, how qanon is modern blood libel, how easter pogroms can’t really be divorced from ‘the war on christmas’. and then, especially because conspiracy theory is now such a jokey quirky thing to so many people (”what’s your favorite conspiracy theory”) and not understood as an integral aspect of modern antisemitism, jews are suddenly The Fun Police, even tho all of these things share the same logic and imagery that drove an entire genocide not even a century ago

[idk-my-aesthetic]

To most ppl when right wingers say stuff like “the Jews are lizard people controlling the government” they just think “that’s so dumb lol”

But Jews are just thinking about how we’ve been murdered for centuries over this kind of stuff. Like yeah the idea is stupid. But people legitimately believe it. And they hurt Jews bc of it

And when ppl joke about it we have no clue if your just ignorant, if you know and are just mocking our trauma, or if you actually believe this bs and might hurt us. It’s scary

I don’t blame ppl for not knowing but if we tell you and you just brush us off your part of the problem.

If your legitimately just ignorant tho it’s fine just please make an effort to educate yourself. Here is a Twitter thread that breaks everything down pretty well

Oh my god I was just looking to see how much a copy of Hamlet would be through Barnes and Noble and PEOPLE ARE ROLEPLAYING WARRIOR CATS IN THE REVIEWS??????

[toadcroaky]

@vriska

[shamesonlydaughter]

ok i was VERY involved in the. b&n reviews warrior cats roleplay scene when i was like 10-12. the first two books of the series were general hubs where ppl would post ads for their clans and other groups. there was a huge percy jackson community i remember participating in too. it worked through search results, eg. riverclan might be under the search result “rivers”. book 1 was rules and a “map”, book 2 might be the main area, book 3 the medicine cats tent, etc. there was also usually a book where ppl would post lengthy descriptions of their character(s). it was a rlly bizarre little corner of the internet jdksj also it was impossible to find any real reviews of any of the warrior cats books bc of it

[darkcomedies-deactivated2022042]
