This is a personal sideblog, contents will be in Chinese and English depending on my mood.
Sometimes it will be about what my username implies it will be about, but a lot of the times it won't be.
My discord handle is the same as my main blog URL, if you want to add me on discord tell me what your tumblr URL is in the message and ideally also tell me on tumblr.
Every time Israel throws another pinkwashing spectacle, every time the west uses LGBT rights as a pretext with which to slaughter people indiscriminately in our region; it does not only go to endear that genocidal colony to or manufacture consent amongst western queers, who famously have no moral backbone to speak of
It also goes to further entrench the very concept of queerness with imperial aggression until they are inextricable from one another in the minds of most imperialised subjects. Pinkwashing does not only aim to obscure and justify imperial crimes, it also very materially makes our lives as sexual minorities in the imperial periphery more dangerous and the uphill battle for our liberation even more insurmountable by linking our existence to the aggression of the enemies of our people.
And by ‘our liberation’ I mean our liberation as sexual minorities of the imperial periphery. I do not include you in this.
I’ve long made peace with the fact that as western LGBTs you are more than content knowing that the price of the advancement of your rights is silence when the symbols of your movement are used to justify the murder of my people and my neighbours and comrades across the globe.
Contrary to the popular saying, I no longer believe “our liberation is connected.” My liberation will only come with the liberation of my people and the death of the empire of which you are a willing agent.

For me the word that entered my normal lexicon from reading papers is spurious

Happy 105th anniversary to the Communist Party Of China!
Starting from one of the poorest countries in the world in 1949, China emerged at the end of the Mao period as one of the six largest industrial producers in the world […] This economic development is exceptional compared with the colonial-supported industrialization of Western Europe and North America. […] The Communist Party [of China] had reunited the largest population on earth, modernized it, and ended the reoccurring years of famine that had haunted China for centuries, increasing grain production by three hundred percent. In 1949, life expectancy in China was 38 years. In 1970, it was 68. This accomplishment is undeniable.
-Torkil Lauesen
It is as if [the Chinese] invite the world to join their celebration of the return of an ancient civilization, long oppressed and humiliated by imperialism. There is no doubt that the extensive development of the productive forces was not limited to snatching hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and starvation; it assured both their individual and national dignity, and has allowed them to greatly expand their horizons by looking at the vast country they’re part of and, beyond it, the whole world.

Happy handover day!! On July 1 1997, the British finally handed over Hong Kong back to China after a century of illegal occupation. Goodbye 鬼佬, and good riddance!
China’s government has erased Hong Kong’s freedoms since imposing the draconian National Security Law on June 30, 2020.

Jailed pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong shrugged and shook his head after a Hong Kong court this month announced a fresh charge of breachi
Out of the British colonial frying pan and into the CCP authoritarian fire.
fuck off yankee colonizer. stop spouting bullshit when you have never even lived there. i’m actually from hong kong and life there is far from “authoritarian fire”. we don’t need you yankees starting color revolutions and trying to turn asia into another neocolony.
When it comes to Hong Kong, "pro-democracy" is like "pro-life": a nickname used to whitewash one's actual position and poison the well. The "pro-democracy" camp in Hong Kong is the pro-Western anti-communist camp. They are fighting for capitalism and imperialism, not for democracy.
I appreciate this is probably right, but may I have some actual sources for the information?
considering we have personally literally seen the old colonial flag and the American flag flown during the protests it’s uhhh not looking great. also while we would say most supporters at the time weren’t literally calling for the re-establishment of the british empire, the vast majority are US loving liberals which is basically the same thing lol (source: just ask my family lmao ).
the so-called “pro-democracy” movement is like a textbook case of a colour revolution. even down to using colours to define entire movements in colloquial language, where the “pro-democracy” faction are called the yellow ribbons (黄丝) and the “pro-china” faction are called the blue ribbons (蓝丝). there were even a rainbow of different coloured ribbons for different political positions during the time. it got really silly real quick lmao.
btw using simplified chinese here for the benefit of the vast majority of chinese speakers out there lol.
oh also pepe the frog and a cartoon pig (连猪） from lihkg (the reddit / 4ch of hk? maybe more 4ch cuz they were pretty infamous for doxxing campaigns) became like the unofficial mascot of the protest movement. which kinda shows how deeply unserious it was lmao.
OH ALSO, the slogan of the movement “光复香港” literally means “bring hong kong back to the glorious days” NOT “free hong kong”. literally pining for the good old days of hk as a british colony. it’s like the MAGA of hong kong.
it’s beyond reactionary at this point honestly, downright treasonous, and spits in the face of everyone who toiled and suffered to end our people’s century of humiliation. really saddened that this whole colour revolution took place and glad that the central government stamped this farce down.
Usamericans "care a lot about what happens outside the US" when they're shepherded by corporate media, hence their vociferous support for al-Qaeda in Syria, the neonazi coup regime in Kiev, or NATO-backed religious extremists in Libya, but they certainly don't care enough to listen to a single thing any non-white, non-westerner has to say about global geopol
Maksim, a student who survived the AFU strike on the pedagogical institute's college dormitory in Starobelsk, recounts his experience. — Via Donbass News.
Video Description: A young man with short bro hair and a black T-shirt is being interviewed on on what appears to be a park bench.
His words are transcribed in English-translated subtitles, the subtitles read:
“The first [drone] hit opposite the security post, that is outside. Two struck behind the dormitory, in the park area, but that was still nearby. Everything else [hit] us directly. The first one—after it hit, I got pinned down. I don't know by what miracle I got out, but I got out by myself. At first, I just kept going where I had been walking. They were calling me there, I was heading toward the girls. I grabbed one girl by the hand, then I heard a drone, and I fell from the fifth floor to the second. I started trying to get up, and a brick fell on my head. I collapsed again. Then I heard another drone approaching. I immediately got up, took just one step, and the blast wave threw me outside. I was lying outside and heard another drone coming. I quickly got up again, and there were fir trees nearby. Right there inside the grounds. I got under those trees and stayed there for a little while as the drones kept coming. I understood that they were close and already falling near us. Some of the guys were lying there too. I said—not only me, others were saying it too—that we had to get farther away from there, because another one could hit us. We started moving toward the gym. There were trees there too, and we hid under them. We waited until a couple more drones hit. But it felt like every drone was getting closer to us. I said again that we needed to get completely out of the area. There was a fence, and we all climbed over it together. We ran toward a residential building. People immediately started pulling us into the entrance, giving us water. They called the police and an ambulance.”
- Did all of your close friends survive?
“No, not all of them.”
- Not all?
“Not all. Only half of them.”

Pretty fucking hypocritical to believe in the Palestinian genocide but refuse to acknowledge the Uyghur genocide. Get a grip and acknowledge all of it
Acknowledging a very public genocide means i have to acknowledge the bullshit peddled by the US government with no proof according to you
"you believe in real things... yet don't believe in fake things... interesting 🤔"
I learned a very long time ago that I could post in English on the Anglo internet about my experience as a sexual minority in the #middleeastandnorthafrica region. I could vent about every slight or slur, every indiscretion, all the doors that might not have closed in my face had I not been who I am. But that all it would do is earn me a seat at a table half the world away, a seat that I would lose the second I said “but my people are still human. But we are Arab women before we are queer women. But we are muslim before we are trans women. But we are imperialised subjects of the periphery before we are bisexuals. But we are ‘combat-aged males’ before we are gay men and boys.” A seat that I could only keep if I show a willingness to betray my people. And I will not. I do not want it. The price is too steep and the value too low.
I have come to know now that this western voraciousness for our stories was never an impulse born out of empathy; it has always been little more than a gathering of intel, of reasons to hate us and to justify the destruction of our bodies and the pillaging of our lands and the looting of our resources. So I no longer see the utility in being one more primary source for the proverbial NYT opinion editorial manufacturing consent for the latest campaign of imperial slaughter in my backyard on account of our inherent backwardness.
the highest recorded wet bulb temperatures in the world occur in india, jsyk. in odisha, they’ve hit 34.6 degrees celsius. the human survivability limit is 35 degrees celsius but the body faces significant risks, potentially fatal risks, even at 30 degrees as it starts failing to cool itself, like i’m talking organ failure levels of risk. climate change isn’t coming to peak, it’s been in the global south where you can’t see it or feel it.
imagine temperatures that high and humidity as high as 75%—you make more heat than you can ever cool. your sweat cannot evaporate fast enough. you literally boil alive. heat deaths in india are underreported and they already hit the thousands. there is no plan, for a nation of almost 2 billion people. no plan. nothing.
in case you haven't heard, parts of venezuela were recently hit by a series of earthquakes, affecting communities across the country.
as venezuela is my home country, all of this hits especially close to home. thankfully, my family and loved ones are safe since they were in cities not as severely affected. however, many others have not been as fortunate and are now facing the aftermath of these events.
years of political and economic instability have left many communities with limited resources and infrastructure, making it even more difficult to respond to emergencies like this. there are reports of people who remain missing, and many families are still waiting for news about their loved ones. rescue efforts have been made even more difficult by shortages of equipment, ambulances, and other emergency resources needed to respond to a disaster of this scale.
if you're able to, please consider sharing information, supporting verified relief efforts, or simply helping spread awareness about what is happening.

that's genius... xi jinping was right
I wish more transmascs had the collective consciousness to realize a lot of butch shit is femboys for lesbians, as in like, transphobic fetishization of transness. It's actually really comparable to how some trans women cling to the femboy identity for community and hang around with people who do not respect them as women. Especially with how detransitioners act with either identity.
It's like we're not actually divorcing ourselves from our birth sex really. Transmascs and butches. Transfems and femboys. It's all really disgustingly bleak from a trans rights point of view.
I don't have a problem with transmasc lesbians, but I feel like the cultural lesbian identity is actually so much more wrapped up in transmasculinity that it actively pushes out and directly punishes transfems. The divide between any TME lesbian and TMA lesbian is so absurdly wide.
Why don't you see pushback from transmasc people being slotted in with lesbians for how obviously transphobic it is when transfems have distanced themselves from gay men for obvious reasons? That's also obvious. Transmascs are treated better in lesbian spaces than transfems are in gay spaces. They're offered privileges. Transmascs are also treated better in lesbian spaces than transfems are in lesbian spaces. Transmascs are at worst treated the same as transfems in gay spaces. Even their transphobia is lighter and easier to accept for the privileges it provides. Honestly I'd say of trans men, gay trans men have it the worst, because they're the gay men of trans men and don't have a place in lesbian spaces and face transphobia from the cis gay community. Weird how these things actually make sense when you think of people as the gender they actually are. There becomes gay transmasc and gay transfem communities distinct from cis gayness that put them at the bottom of the queer totem pole below heterosexual trans people who are permitted in lesbian and gay spaces, but even then, you'd have to be from a different reality to say a trans gay man is more generally hated and fear mongered about than a gay trans woman is.
You should logically realize the difference in all accounts is being TME or TMA. Or you could team up with everyone else and become a transmisogynist who believes in female/male socialization and sex based oppression and call all gay trans people straight. It's one or the other.
