always be suspicious when there is 3 of something. know the culprit. it could be the magician and her deceitful Monte. it cold be the comedian and her perverted Rule. It could be the feminist theorist and her archaic Wave. It could be the sociologist and her fictitious Place. It could be the physicist and her sinister Body Problem.

I swear to fuck the number of y'all who are just giddy and ready to commit violent social abuse to any "acceptable target" is scary. Be better

[vulturevanity]

I don't WANT to have to come to the aid of people who'd want me dead but the state of the online left isn't much less bloodthirsty. A lot of y'all didn't unlearn any of the authoritatian punitive bullshit that your fascist communities instilled on you and just covered your violence with a rainbow paint.

If you want a better world you need to stop thinking mass harrassment campaigns are a good way to go about it

[vulturevanity]

A lot of y'all are also still virulently racist in your "progressive" spaces by the way!! Stop looking for ankles to bite and start working on yourselves

idk i think you should make this character's heterosexuality relevant to the narrative. i mean why are they cis if it's not servicing the plot. you can't just throw story elements in for no reason if you're gonna make an able bodied character it should really serve a purpose. like why are they white are you just trying to fill a checklist? :/

For the record, while this should be blatantly obvious to everyone that every blog in the “pro-transmisogyny” tag is a sock puppet, here’s just some evidence that not a single one has existed for longer than about 9 months at most:

None of these are run by real, serious people. Whether they’re TERFs, 4channers or any other hate group doesn’t really matter. Don’t give them the attention they desperately crave, just roll your eyes, block and move on.

[learn-how-to-love]

Missed one. Anyway, transmisogyny is not and will never be tolerated in any circles I run in, person who I’m so sure doesn’t have a main blog that regularly posts with the tag “#r4dfem safe”. I’d say try harder next time but I think I’d rather you just stop trying at all and grow as a person instead.

Does no one teach “an eye for an eye makes the world blind” anymore?

Fighting bigotry with bigotry doesn’t make less bigotry in the world, it makes more.

“afab chests aren’t inherently sexu—” please say breasts please just say breasts please please please stop throwing the term “afab” around say tatas say titties say big bahoona bazingoroos if you must

[literallyaflame]

not to be that guy but if you’re talking about breasts, say breasts. if you’re talking about pregnancy, say pregnancy. you don’t have to bend over backwards coming up with wacky shit like “uterus-having pregnancy-carrier” or “afab presenting nipples” to be more inclusive. half the time, it’s not inclusive anyway. so just be specific. a person with breasts can simply be “a person with breasts.” it’s easy, it’s fun, it’s free

#some trans men don’t have breasts. famously‚ there’s a surgery about it #some cis women don’t have breasts. the same surgery #some trans women do have breasts. famously #there are hormones and also surgery about it #some cis men have breasts. Gandalf for one (via @aurpiment)

Most Black folks in the US have a deeply painful racial story having to do with interactions with white "friends," including me.

I had a unique experience of going to very diverse schools my entire life, but my family moved out to a mostly white suburb when I was around 11 or 12 years old. So I had friends of all kinds of different backgrounds at school, but my neighborhood friends were almost entirely white. Which was mostly fine as a kid. I even had two of these friends as groomsmen in my wedding.

Things changed shortly after the murder of Trayvon Martin. This is when I started getting more vocal online about racism, anti-Blackness, and the injustices I was observing and grieving throughout the country. It didn't take long at all for the friends from this group to go from uncomfortable, to combative, and then to all blocking me on social media. Once I started talking about race too much, they abandoned me by walking out of my life, which was incredibly painful. These were all very nice, generous, and kind people in every other context of their lives. But something about their racial identity development caused them to turn on me immediately once my voice around race became uncomfortable for them.

Those experiences, along with countless others I've had in my life from white peers, white educators, white store employees, and more, have taught me to be very careful about trusting white folks. Because I have been burned in so many ways in my life.

The key to not unintentionally becoming like this, so wrapped up in your subconscious programming of whiteness and white supremacy that you actively hurt people of color, is to do your inner identity work.

I have a lot of pet peeves but I think the biggest one is when people say things like “oh it’s such a small town, only 35,000 people” like bitch my town has 200 people, you need to pick a new adjective 

[thegoldengals]

According to Wikipedia, a small town is 1,000-20,000 people. So although you are correct in stating that 35,000 people is not a small town (it is a large town), you are incorrect in thinking that you live in a town. You live in a village. You are a villager.

[chipthekeeper]

I…… don’t know what to do with that information……a villager…
