maybe it's me being a brown woman but i can't comprehend how & why people treat having a racist phase as a teenager as smth okay or a norm

phruxx

it's def not good but treating people who got better like they're still shitty people is a good way to make them turn back into shitty people

#idk man racist phases aren’t exclusively a white person thing so while I see what you’re getting at I don’t think the argument tracks #I think a lot of younger people don’t fully understand the implications of the things they say #mildly racist jokes are really often played as funny rather than offensive and the concept of dark humor makes many think they have a pass #to be as awful as they want as long as they don’t actually mean it #but you don’t have to mean it to be offensive and harmful #also teens are generally less likely to be politically aware and more likely to echo those around them #even when they’re being racist #a lot of people see bad racist ‘jokes’ as edgy and rebellious instead of evil and ig #they grow out of it

if I see one more "why age verification is bad" post that doesn't even bother to mention that locking young people out of huge sections of the public sphere - literally the stated goal and primary impact of this shit - is wrong in and of itself I will simply start hitting people with bricks

dragon-in-a-fez

yes yes biometric data privacy blah blah adults can hypothetically by harmed by this too. what about the immediate and deliberate and not at all hypothetical harm to youth. why are you acting like a potential data leak about what your face looks like, which if it ever happened would at least be generally recognised as a problem, is a more serious issue than cutting millions of people off from information and community and public expression which is happening right now in the open with large scale support

dragon-in-a-fez

it's got the stench of fucking "banned books week" on it. thousands of adults congratulating themselves for reading books literally no one is trying to stop them from reading while doing nothing to improve access for the young people who are the ones actually having those books made off-limits to them.

this-is-trans-joy

internalised misogyny (arguably) is the act of perpetuating or upholding the misogynistic and patriarchal systems against women and those perceived as women by someone who has also experienced those systems of oppression and is projecting the harm they have experienced onto others instead of unpacking said harm.

internalised misogyny is not:

being a trans man

being non-binary

just not being a woman

being masculine

enjoying yaoi

engaging in yaoi

dating men

liking men

being in any way associated with men

this-is-trans-joy

If you believe in any of the above bullet points, you are either a TERF or you are dangerously close to falling for TERF rhetoric, and no amount of psuedo-progressive language about “centering men” is gonna cover up the fact that you agree with JK Rowling on at least a few points in her crusade against trans people. And that is NOT a good look.

Found a great (free) documentary on the Freedom House Ambulance Service here- https://www.wqed.org/freedomhouse/ (has captions too)!

I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve heard about this. like for years I’ve been thinking “imagine if the police were in charge of ambulances and firefighting, all the horrible problems that would cause, wouldn’t it be better if they were a separate thing, etc” as a way to better understand/explain the fundamental problems with the existence of police. that framing was part of what made me start to understand why my friends were saying “ACAB” and “abolish the police”. I had no idea it was literally once historically like that and not just a hypothetical tbh

This is cool as shit, and a part of my own career’s history that I didn’t even know about.

Hot take: there’s a middle ground between solely ridiculing Europeans for not knowing how to handle heat and being completely sympathetic when they’re doing stupid shit like idk man it is quite hot and that really sucks if ur not used to it and the conversation should be about climate change and how to prevent this but also jumping into an unauthorised for swimming canal and drowning and then completely refusing to listen when someone from a hot country offers advice on how to not die is fucking stupid and I shouldn’t have to act like it’s not.

headspace-hotel

Here's an idea about why kids are so anxious and depressed all the time...the environments kids are in most of the time are very stressful and don't fulfill their needs for play, rest, proper variety of foods, positive social opportunities, and freedom from fear pain punishment etc

headspace-hotel

Like everyone with any basic understanding of animal welfare knows that if you put an animal in an enclosure that is too crowded, without hiding spots, with no freedom to move around, no ability to avoid harsh and stressful stimuli, and scare it by shouting at it and punishing it, the animal will become stressed and start chewing its own fur off or hurting itself or become sick or unable to eat...

But we expect human children to grow up in these conditions and literally blame them when they develop the exact type of problems that any creature under those conditions would

The bubble is nigh.

“phoenix couldnt be a walkable city because its too hot”

yes it could. Arizonans still have to go outside in peak summer. I used to spend 20ish minutes standing in front of my school waiting for my mom to pick me up from the carline in peak heat and so did the rest of the school. Parking lots here are so big that it takes 5ish minutes to walk from the parking lot to whatever store you’re going to. If you leave a car out for like half an hour its more sweltering than the outside environment so its not like immediately being in a car brings relief.

“people die at bus stops because of the heat”

Maybe if the bus stops werent at minimum a quarter mile away from homes and you didnt have to wait half an hour for a bus and there was a decent metro system this wouldnt be a fucking issue. If the city had viable public transit, people who have no other choice would be safer and people who could drive if they wanted to would be incentivized to not

#ares.txt #genuinely publci transit in phoenix would require the entire city to be rethought but its such a urban design hellhole that it would be good #like ive heard the ‘its too hot for public transit’ arguement a bunch but it genuinely doesn’t hold up

seeing the other 3 ppl from my previously 4 person friend group makes me tweak out bc wdym yall kicked me out for being gay tf

#ares.txt #as if one of the other girls didn’t literally have a cripplingly obvious crush on another girl in the group

I think people who think nyc is the most insane city ever have genuinely never left America bc i saw ppl hyping up times square because of the abundance of billboards and led signs and stuff but it looks just like the intersection 7 minutes away from my grandparents house in India

#‘there’s no place like nyc’ I fear that’s js cuz ur American #like Americans have never seen a city like a real city in their lives and it’s frankly quite sad #ares.txt
