i’m so appreciative to suzanne for reframing the rebellion from the original trilogy as a “they saw their moment and took it” type situation and showing us that they’ve been trying, over and over, with so many failed attempts, to break the arena and incite a rebellion for decades. in this current political climate never giving up hope is so essential. haymitch wasn’t the first nor the last, and they kept going even when it seemed completely futile, and that’s what counts, and what ultimately saves them all.

We gotta do something about ecoableism, guys, I can't keep seeing people confidently assure everyone that their ideal world is one where disabled people with specific needs don't get to be alive.

The most insidious thing about eugenics is that society is so ableist the majority of people do actually think eugenics would work and disabled people are better off dead, they just tack on an assumption that while yes eugenics works it's still bad because disabled people dying for being disabled is morally wrong. But they never actually think it's scientifically or medically wrong. We're just civilized enough we've decided to politely pretend the science isn't right because social justice.

It's like how a bunch of celebs were big on body positivity and fat liberation...until Ozempic dropped and it turns out no, none of them ever believed any of that! They just pretended to bcs up until now healthy, long term weight loss was impossible so they had no choice but to cope by learning to love themselves no matter how they looked...but now that it's here we can go back to the truth! Being fat is ugly and gross and unhealthy and you should starve yourself and take experimental meds right now so you can be skinny which is what ALL humans are clearly supposed to be!! Yeah that body positivity stuff was fun, but come on. We know you actually just wanna be skinny and think being fat is a fate worse than death.

That's what it feels like to me. Every single time. Honestly in a lot of other areas too, one of the big issues with the left is that they really do seem to think that Republicans are right about how things work and should work but we just pretend otherwise because it's the right thing to do and it reduces suffering. Which seems fine, but you cannot be an effective leftist like this. You do actually have to deconstruct your beliefs and biases and world systems, you can't go around like "well yeah we aren't gonna kill disabled people that's eugenics and it's wrong" when you clearly don't actually think it's wrong. You think eugenics would work but implementing it would be uncivilized, and it shows. You have to actually understand that racism and ableism and all other forms of bigotry are not just cruel, but entirely incorrect.

Idk if this makes sense but yeah. We gotta do something about this.

This is what Into the Woods meant when it said nice is different than good.

[lastoneout]

This is also how you get people being like "I'm not an ableist! I love disabled people!" after making a joke about Trump wearing diapers or not being able to walk down a ramp. They don't think ableism is wrong, they just think it's right but impolite, so only okay aimed at those who deserve to be insulted.

Absolutely part of why shit sucks so much rn.

Ngl I'm glad I figured out how to word this, bcs trying to articulate it as "you don't actually think bigotry is wrong you just think the target should be someone else" always felt incomplete! I now know what I meant was "you don't think bigotry is wrong you just think it's impolite and that's different" that's what I needed. You just think bigotry is being mean to a marginalized person who, crucially, has done nothing to deserve it. The second they do tho? Anything is fair game.

Yeesh. What a rancid ass way to view the world.

[lastoneout]

Peer reviewing because yeah.

[lastoneout]

I wonder if this is the reason leftists get really upset when marginalized people point out something they did was bigoted. They only think bigotry counts when it happens to your friends and obviously they weren't trying to be bigoted to their friends so you calling them a bigot is "incorrect" you know what I mean?

Random hill I'll die on but

These shower heads are antiblack 😭

[patrochilles-or-bust]

The implication is that you are a person who can put their entire body under this stream of water to wash your body, daily. Guess which group of people is likely not washing their hair every single day and therefore could not utilize this shower head to its full extent on a daily basis? Guess who'd have to lean their head outside of the water like an awkward giraffe in order to bathe, or would have to stand at the edge of the water?

[patrochilles-or-bust]

my shower head is racist.

*deep luxurious black woman who's been inconvenienced sigh*

Apparently even Doechii agrees with me lmao

I hate over-head showers.

Why — wwhhhyyyyyyy must every hotel shower head be built directly above your crown, as if everyone on earth wants to get their hair wet every time they bathe?

This has to be some kind of micro-aggression.

A niggress repellent, if you will!

Because immediately, instinctively, I know: no Black woman was taken into account when this technology was designed.

I do really love it when women write graphic and fucked up things. I feel like so often people react to fucked up fiction with “of course a disgusting man would write this 🙄” and it often carries an unspoken (honestly sometimes spoken) message of “a woman’s PURE and DELICATE and FEMININE mind could NEVER think of something this VILE”. Thank you women in fucked up fiction 🫡
