People love natives in such a superficial way. People wanna stand with natives when we’re talking about the trees, and the land. People wanna stand with natives when we talk about philosophies of love and togetherness. But as soon as it’s time to talk about political side of being native. About dismantling a system built on the genocide of our people. About how we need a new system that isn’t built upon capital gain and benefitting white bodies. About putting up a fight. About how the colonial state we reside in is a disgusting imperial plague on this land. Suddenly y’all don’t wanna talk native.

"They spent hundreds of years trying to assimilate my ancestors, trying to create indians like me, who could blend in, but now they don’t want me either. They can’t make up their minds.

They want buckskin and face paint, drumming, songs in languages they can’t understand recorded for them but with English subtitles, of course. They want educated, well spoken, but not too smart. Christian, well behaved, never question. They want to learn the history of the people, but not the ones that are here now, waving signs in their faces, asking them for clean drinking water, asking them why their women are going missing, asking them why their land is being ruined.

They want fantastical stories of Indians that used to roam this land. They want my culture behind glass in a museum.

But they don’t want me." -Shelby Lisk

"It isn't socially acceptable to hate on trans women"

The entire political order of every western country has been calling for the eradication of trans women for almost a decade and no one has faced any negative repercussions for it. Trans women have no serious federal legal protections. It's entirely legal for anyone to fire a trans woman simply for being a trans woman and nothing bad happens to them, and it happens all the time. Every single one of us knows multiple trans women personally that has happened to, or it has happened to us personally, or both. Usually both.

[transsexual-feminism]

It's socially acceptable to hate on cis women, of course it's socially acceptable to hate trans women, misogyny doesn't go away when the women is question happens to be trans.

Happy Pride Month everyone! Remember 4 months ago when the CEO of this platform harassed and chased a trans woman off this website just for posting her transition timeline, then chased her to other social media platforms to continue harassing her, and threatened to call the FBI if she continued disputing the multiple dubious terminations of her blogs that did not violate tumblr's terms of service in any way? And despite tumblr staff insisting that the CEO was acting against their interests, the broad transmisogyny evident in the site's culture and moderation policy has still not been adequately addressed?

[lakemojave]

Remember that staff is continuing to nuke the blogs of trans women even after all of this. Remember this post when they call this site the queerest place on the internet again this month

[lakemojave]

It's 2 years later. It's gotten worse. Happy pride month.

everybody: you’ve got to advocate for yourself in medical settings!

medical professionals when a patient advocates for themselves in a medical setting (x100 if that patient is a part of any minority): damn. you’re a hypochondriac crazy bitch who has every mental illness and is seeking every narcotic in existence. that’s the only reason you’d be disappointed in the care you’re receiving here. in retaliation, we will be even less helpful and less sympathetic. our jobs are hard. people are dying. we don’t have time to deal with anyone who is slightly inconvenient for us.

Strange racists and homophobes on the internet seem to have access to an alternate way cooler version of TV than me. "every white character on TV is in an interracial relationship" "every show has a gay couple in it" "main characters keep having to secretly be bisexual and nonbinary" "every show has gratuitous full frontal nudity" like damn promise?? What channel???

severely deficient in whatever vitamin makes u a person

[joonoir]

the fact that it's officially pride month and I'm still single is literally so homophobic— I need a cute girlfriend like... yesterday?!?

[joonoir]

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry

[womanguy]

you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

[wingkink]

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

What if mom jokes were just dad jokes that weren't sexist?

My father forwarded these dad jokes to me and while he sent it for laughs, I couldn't help but notice the usage of language to perpetuate sexist biases.

While "he" is a banker, an astronaut, a gym trainer, a librarian, and WHAT NOT, "she" is nothing but a lover. And not just any lover, a foolish lover who is constantly being played by her male love interest. Laughing at these jokes is basically laughing at puns about a pretty common women's experience.

I will not overanalyze a "joke" and make it deeper than it is, I love puns but come on, these are clearly catering to men. A man laughs cause it's relatable, while a woman is just the fool being laughed at.

Such jokes also normalise a lot of harmful tropes and solidify them in our culture via laughter: men being negligent lovers and partners, women being nothing but in love, women being fools, men having diverse careers while women don't, along with heteronormativity.

So here's a modified "mom joke" version of this:

*ENGLISH AT ITS BEST*🤣😜🤣😜🤣

*English Puns*

He fell in love with a *Banker* but she showed no *interest.*

He fell in love with an *Astronaut* but he wanted *Space.*

He fell in love with a *Gym Trainer,* but it didn't *Work out.*

They fell in love with a *Librarian,* but her time was always *Booked.*

She fell in love with an *Electrician* but for them there was no *Spark.*

She fell in love with a *Cardiologist* but she broke his *Heart.*

She fell in love with a *Geologist* but the relationship was too *Rocky.*

He fell in love with an *Economist* but she couldn’t supply her *Demands.*

She fell in love with a *Violinist* but they said, *"No Strings attached."*

Laugh away, and not just men this time!

men will literally encourage female hypersexuality until it stops benefiting them personally. then suddenly it becomes pathology, degradation, daddy issues, lack of self-respect, trauma, etc. they’ll consume sexualized women constantly, glorify them, fantasize about them, profit off them, even build entire cultures around them. but the second a woman embodies that sexuality too openly, too honestly, or outside of male control, she’s “damaged” now. like suddenly the thing they were rewarding becomes proof there’s something wrong with her like what?
