being a marxist is so boring like there’s no mystery left. you’ll investigate a concerning issue affecting our society and you’re like ‘well it’s probably because the capitalists are underpaying and overworking their workers’ and then 9 times out of 10 the answer is the capitalists are underpaying and overworking their workers
I love the Pokémon merchandise where they have a lineup of a bunch of plushies or something
they’re usually just a bunch of cutesy baby Pokémon, but gengar is always also there
so it’s like
a lot of children - especially mentally ill children - end up traumatized not because someone was specifically hurting them but because their needs weren’t being met, or because their problems weren’t being seen, or because they were rendered particularly vulnerable by other aspects of their identity, like queerness or race.
and it can be hard to look at your childhood and go “I was hurt” and also know that the hurt wasn’t deliberate. it’s uniquely painful to not have someone to blame.
you do not have to excuse the people who hurt you, even if it was unintentional. & acknowledging your own pain does not necessarily entail blaming them for it.
you are allowed to do what you need to do in order to recover.
Also:
“they did the best they could/with what they had” and “it wasn’t (good) enough” are two things that can and must be true at the same time
This is a very real and legit type of trauma called Trauma B, which in short means that you weren’t given the things that you needed to survive and thrive, and I believe that it’s the culprit for way to many things and we need to understand and talk about it more.
(Trauma A is the type where something happens to you)
Trauma B is something I will have to look into.
very excited to react to stimuli in a neurotypical manner today

There's a lot of accidental anti-semitism in the world , but sometimes I come across the deliberate and malicious anti-semitism im DND and I'm just reminded that no matter how much I love this game it does not love me back and the original creators never wanted me to play it.
Today's example is: Phylactery
In d&d:
In real life
That's right. they named the evil artifact that the evil undead spellcaster hides their soul in after a Jewish ceremonial object.
Actually I want to add something because the genius of this particular kind of anti-semitism is that most gentiles won't know what a Phylactery really is, The only people who will notice are the Jewish players. Making them instantly feel isolated, alone, and unsafe in their d&d group.
when you come across that you should at the table paralyzed wondering
Do my fellow players know this is anti-Semitic?
If they don't know and I bring it up will they be mad at me for ruining the fun?
If they do know and I bring it up will revealing myself as Jewish be dangerous?
It's a tactic to deliberately push Jewish people out of the game. and nobody jump up to tell me it was an accident because it fucking wasn't. Before d&d Phylactery only had one definitionand I find it impossible that they would know the word without knowing the meaning. Or at least knowing it was Jewish.
Holy shit can this post fucking disappear from my dash please!
Attention goyim: Jews don't use the word phylactery. That's stupid and greek. They're called Teffilin.
I don't know why articles everywhere say that this is what The Jews™ call their Weird Little Prayer Boxes, but we don't say that, and it's not even a super common aspect of prayer (at least where i'm from) and i wish y'all wouldn't pretend to be offended at this. No jew calls Teffilin phylactery, when i first saw this post i even tried finding out if anyone i knew said phylactery, and they all looked at me like i was a dumbass. We don't need your fake outrage, and I SEE YOU FUCKIN GOYS IN THE NOTES PRETENDING TO BE JEWISH AND FEEL ALIENATED! GROSS! This is a non issue, dispel it from your mind and stop spreading this horseshit!
I was going to let this slide as someone making an honest mistake, and that you can never be too cautious around antisemitism, but then I find out that OP lied about being Jewish for this post and frankly that’s just pathetic to the point of hilarity.
This is wild
today i learned that the one dude who drew self-insert ship art of himself and pearl while he worked on steven universe threw a tantrum when the creator of the owl house started dating the creator of gravity falls instead of him. and since he was fired from both cartoon network and disney he now spends his time making miserable tweets about how modern cartoons suck
i hate how "usa provokes dictatorships in latin america" became "so usa did it all, latin americans dont think for themselves and dont have complicated relationships with their goverment and they are all victims. yes even the ones that benefit from the dictatorships."
This!!! Latin America too has always had
Rich elite groups who control the media, the political decisions and own 3/4 of the lands and factories
Conservative groups of civilians
Far right simpathizers
Powerful churches, especially the Catholic church, who have a lot of sway in government decisions
And they all contributed to the dictatorships and got benefited from them in some way or another. That USA had the means and tools, and some major interests to provoke them? Yeah of course, but latines weren't all mindless sheep, be careful when you think like this bc then you forget the ones who committed crimes and got away with them
I don't think people remember the first Iron Man Movie at all.
Because everyone always focuses on the "War Profiterol Stops Selling Weapons" angle and completely forget the Pro American Military Interventionism Message in it.
Tony Stark specifically becomes Iron Man because he doesn't believe the US Military is doing ENOUGH in the Middle East. He specifically flies there to destroy some evil brown bad guys with a tank attacking civilians because he believes the American Military is not there to stop it. This is a Pro Military Occupation movie guys, it doesn't take a genius to understand it.
Hell, he specifically stops building weapons because he just discovered some evil brown people might also end up buying them, not because "bombs kill people," he knows bomb kill people he just thought only the US Military was using it to kill people.
Which is never taken into question. The US Military is not on trial in this movie, It's the evil brown people who use it on civilians instead, and they do it because they are faceless, nameless evil brown people.
The bombed village the reporter who ends up sleeping with him and is slut shamed for it mentions? Who do you think ultimately committed the war crime in universe? But why, the evil brown terrorists, the ones who got their weapons from his own company after all, there is no mention, in any part of the movie, of the US Military committing war crimes on anything with his weapons, the villains are ALWAYS evil brown people who got his weapons due to another, more self serving war profiteer, and only because of that.
Like, the ONLY thing that can be said in favour of this is that the greater scope villain is, like... Another rich white war profiteer, and even that still fucks over the supposedly "anti war" message when Tony specifically still only wanted to sell weapons to the US Military pre movie, and stops producing weapons the second he realizes evil brown people might get his shit too, and Stane wanted to sell it to Evil Brown Terrorists too.
People don't rember how boot licking this movie was and it shows.
“Surely nothing could be worse than a lot of women dying,” she thinks. “Ah,” she says.
i literally can’t stop laughing at this

i loved your thesis bro <3 hmu
would you like to buy some turnips
i dont think tme people get, or ever will get, how deeply affecting the experience of transmisogyny is. will elaborate later.
okay I drank more coffee and I'm ready to get into this.
so transmisogyny is the intersection of transphobia and misogyny, which should be obvious but some people don't like to listen. its another layer of oppression past the transphobia that transmascs have. every transfemme I've talked to and befriended has had some experience with feeling predatory for having feelings for someone (generally affects trans wlw more) or infantilized themselves and acted very gentle and passive in order to not feel as though they're predatory. (I'm still working through the first one and used to deal with the latter)
we're taught to be afraid of our own bodies, especially our genitals. it's as if we're monsters for being women born with penises, as if that in itself makes us gross. there's a reason that all the transphobic bathroom arguments come down to a "man dressed as a woman" preying on women. this goes a million times as far for black trans women, who have the added intersection of blackness. that paints them as even more masculine and aggressive despite how far that is from the truth.
I developed my eating disorder because i felt like my body was too big and masculine, that i would look more feminine if i were skinnier. thats obviously something cis women face, but its not the same for us. we're told we have male bodies and that we need to make ourselves smaller to fit in with "real women".
we're excluded from women's spaces for "not having the same experiences" or "invading" or whatever other transphobic reterric they want to use to allow trans men in but not us. we're alienated from trans/LGBT spaces due to the heavy focus on transmasc and tme nonbinary people in discussions of transitioning. for every 20 resources on how to bind and its dangers i get on my dash, I see 1 or 2 on tucking and its dangers. for every 20 binder giveaways i see I've never seen a gaff giveaway. I bet some of you don't even know what a gaff is. (its what we use to tuck)
the amount of times I've seen jokes about men in dresses, the amount of times i've heard words like femboy and tranny thrown around by tme people as if they're not harming us by doing so sickens me. every time you make genderbent fan art, draw a guy looking embarassed in a dress, or make a femboy friday joke, you are contributing to the stigma that follows us wherever we go.
I'm probably gonna lose followers for this and get told in the notes "I would reblog this but your tone is so aggressive :/" but I DON'T CARE. WE USED OUR POLITE VOICES AND YOU DIDN'T LISTEN. BLACK TRANS WOMEN BUILT THIS COMMUNITY AND NOW THEY'RE DYING ON THE FUCKING STREETS. WE AS A GROUP, ARE BEING TURNED AWAY FROM HOMELESS SHELTERS AND BEING JOKED ABOUT ON THIS AWFUL WEBSITE. IT'S OUR BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS.
Not to mention the fact that people barely understand anything about our transitions. I almost never see any kind of informative posts about what to expect from hormones/surgery/etc., and even the doctors that prescribe my meds hardly seem to know anything about them. The six page long informed consent document I had to sign to get my hormones listed like a hundred possible effects, all of which came with a “this may or may not happen we’re just kinda guessing” disclaimer, and I’ve STILL found TONS of things that no one EVER told me while they were busy stressing over and over that I’d probably be sterile after a while.
Did you know it’s not uncommon to lose a shoe size or two? Or to shrink a couple inches because your entire pelvis rotates after a while (which hurts like a motherfucker, I might add)? Or that it’s very possible that you’ll suffer some of the symptoms of PMS every month even though you can’t menstruate? Did you know your tastes in food might change because your sense of smell changes? Probably not, because barely anybody researches or published information on this stuff. And who even fucking knows what you can expect after surgery because hearsay reports vary wildly and there’s basically nothing out there.
It gets so much harder to stay healthy when it’s so hard to find information on how our bodies function.
