[mildlydecentrogue]

Follow these too if you want

anti-fatness is not just body shaming.

anti-fatness is discrimination. anti-fatness is having next to no legal protections for being discriminated against. anti-fatness is being denied housing, jobs, receiving less pay and promotions (legally) because of your size. anti-fatness is being denied access to clothing, seating, transportation, and other human rights because infrastructure has been designed to exclude you. anti-fatness is less likelihood of receiving a fair trial. anti-fatness is dehumanization. anti-fatness is being denied necessary surgeries, but not surgery that amputates the digestive tract with the intent to starve and shrink you (it doesn’t work either). anti-fatness is mutilation. anti-fatness is being subject to torture devices that bolt your mouth shut. anti-fatness is being told by close friends, family, and professionals that you are better off living with an eating disorder or other life-threatening illness. anti-fatness sells you starvation as a guaranteed opt-out of oppression, but doesn’t tell you that bodies will always regain weight to survive. anti-fatness blames and punishes you for failing at an achievement that is quite literally impossible. anti-fatness is a $90 billion dollar industry. anti-fatness is being denied gender-affirming care. anti-fatness is being barred from in vitro fertilization and reproductive healthcare. anti-fatness is being barred from adopting children. anti-fatness is being removed from your loving parents because they couldn’t make you thin. anti-fatness is intentionally starving your own baby so they won’t get fat. anti-fatness is disproportionately high suicide rates. anti-fatness is being killed at the hands of medical neglect and mistreatment. anti-fatness is the world preferring a dead body over a fat one.

[fatliberation]

reblogging this again because so many people still do not realize that fat liberation is deeply political. fat liberation is not body positivity. it is not about loving yourself or being non-judgemental. it is about THIS. 👆

christianity being a real facet of peoples lives instead of something you grow out of is killing me what do you mean youre 19 and still believe that mission trips are a positive force in the world

[magnusttsisgay-official]

When humanity seems so evil, believing there is something good in this world gives reason to keep going.

[moniquill]

Mission trips = humanity being so evil, jsyk.

[down-sizing-redux]

I'm going to respond like that person said their comment in good faith for a second.

I've been on mission trips, both domestic and international. I once believed I was doing good work. I don't any more, and I'm going to walk you through why. We're going to set aside the religious aspect for a second and call it what it is: voluntourism. You're going somewhere novel to you and doing volunteer work. That's voluntourism.

Here's what I learned over the 21 years since my first international mission trip. Voluntourism is a destabilizing influence on the people and communities it nominally serves. They introduce a lot of change in a short period of time and then they leave without doing any of the work needed to make those changes sustainable. The people who live there are faced with a no-win choice: they can try to keep the change going, and devote resources they may not have to creating the necessary infrastructure; they can abandon that change and let it decay over time, with all the risks associated; or they can scrap it for parts and risk upsetting anyone from the original set of voluntourists if they ever come back.

Now imagine that there are kids involved, as they often are. Voluntourists have a nasty habit of using kids as props to enhance the social credibility of their photos. I did this, and I'm ashamed of it. Kids everywhere form emotional bonds easily. So what happens to a kid whose school is constantly bringing in volunteers for a week or two who are friendly and affectionate, who bring food or gifts, and then bounce and never come back? That kid eventually grows numb. They don't connect with people as easily. They stop trusting that people have good intentions.

And all this is without even addressing the objectification of people in poverty that goes into these trips. The devaluation of cultures. The implicit, and sometimes explicit paternalism and colonialism that fuels them. Voluntourism depends on the idea that you are coming from somewhere "better" to somewhere "worse" and that your presence and cultural exports will inherently improve the place you are going.

If you want to do volunteer work, start at home. Start somewhere that you can go to regularly, that strengthens your community. Don't just show up for a day and call it done. And if you want to travel, travel! But remember when you do that you are a guest, and you owe it to your hosts to tread lightly and with respect.

the use of AI lately has made me feel so hopeless, i translated pages of an unfinished fanzine of mine so i can remember why i love art...i hope it can resonate with anyone feeling the same way

[official-lucifers-child]

[gay-for-frog]

Rapists, and killers, too? Really? (Those on death-row?) The drug/prostitution problems are just a portion of USA criminals.

[official-lucifers-child]

yes, all criminals. the moment you say “except X criminal” is the moment that people will try to convict their opponents as having committed X crime.

it’s the same thing as what’s going on right now with people equating drag to some sort of child exploitation. “but the children!!” they wail, and people listen because oh, if drag is harming children, then drag MUST be BAD, so we HAVE TO BAN DRAG.

do you understand what i’m saying? you can’t take away the rights of any category of criminal, because suddenly that category will be overflowing with people who totally 100% definitely committed that horrible crime.

[captain-acab]

Just to look at this from one step further back, let's accept the premise. Let's imagine that there is a type of crime that is 1) horrible evil irredeemable universally-agreed-upon bad, and 2) could somehow be prosecuted with 100% accuracy and 0% bias. Yes, even then, those criminals deserve a right to vote.

Do you they're going to like vote themselves out of jail? Vote to make murder legal? What exactly are you afraid of.

Realistically they'll just... vote just like anyone else. They'll help elect city councilmembers they think will better their hometowns, and presidents they think will best serve the country. They might even vote in their own interests! To reform prisons, fund rehabilitation programs, and outlaw predatory practices by telecoms. Are you saying you don't want any of those things?

And even if there were one of those super-duper-unambiguously-evil totally misanthropic death-row convicts, who's scheduled to be execute the very next day and just wants to sow chaos and watch the outside world burn however they can... what's the worst they could do, vote republican?

Taking people's rights away isn't bad because it might happen to someone you like, it's because taking people's rights away is bad.

do people think that convicted serial killers are going to vote to legalize serial killing

[sunderwight]

The thing about the destiel news meme is that I actually think it's great.

It does let you know that something has gone on in the world. But it's such a short format that it could never even pretend to give you all the relevant information about that thing. It usually provides less detail than the average headline, so it's not actually reporting, it's more like shouting a head's up across a crowded room. Still lets you know that something has happened though.

The very fact that it's a goofy and irreverent fandom meme also serves as a perpetual reminder that using social media to get news is a bad idea. Now that you know something has occurred, go read an actual article from a real source to verify it and get the details. It's an alert system with a format that never lets you forget that alerts are not articles, and that this website is not beholden to any kind of journalistic integrity.

I love it, the comments on destiel news memes are almost always full of people saying that they saw it and then rushed off to go verify the news with a reputable source. Do you know how often more "serious" format news stuff on this site just leaves people complacently certain that they've been given accurate info? Way too often. I wish half as many of those news updates had people commenting that they left tumblr to go double check it.

If you see the quote "I refuse to share my body with a man who wouldn't defend it politically" or any variation of it floating around the internet — it was Kat Blaque who originally said it and she would really appreciate it if people gave her proper credit for it but it's gone viral on a lot of different platforms and most of the people sharing it don't know it's from her or choose not to credit her on purpose.

Like I just know terfs are going to be parroting it pretending it wasn't said by a black trans woman about herself & her life.

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

chat my wife is an absolute perfect angel with infinite kindness in real life but in all my dreams she's always mean and abandoning me for others and stuff. what does this mean?

[mildlydecentrogue]

this is actually a pretty common thing afaik. a part of you may feel like this is too good to be true, or you're somehow unworthy of a wonderful partner. waiting for the other shoe to drop - for her to suddenly change or to no longer like you, perhaps like past relationships.

the funniest part is you may not think that logically, but a small part of your subconscious does. or I'm entirely wrong, I'm just a stranger om the internet. here have some cheese for your time 🧀

everything surrounding the id laws that just passed in Kansas is fucking horrible

[briannyssey]

[terramythos]

Hey Bri I hope you don't mind me sharing this on your post but in case anyone reading this is in Kansas or knows trans people in Kansas, Colorado is nearby and considered one of the safest states for trans & queer people. I know relocating is logistically expensive and challenging for many reasons, especially for people in a vulnerable situation, but if it is an option anyone is considering, there is a nonprofit here that may be able to help.

Steps These steps are intended to be a linear process to get you out of there and resettled here. But we get it, you’re a big kid and can do

Kansas has invalidated diver's licences of anyone who has had their gender/sex marker changed

There is no grace period, meaning as of yesterday, no-one with a changed gender marker is allowed to drive until they can get themselves to a dmv and switch back to a card with an incorrect marker.

Just saw an interview with an MN healthcare worker that ICE agents are taking detainees who are badly injured (one had a fractured skull) and leaving them without clothes in the woods to die

[an-fadhb]

there is a list circulating locally of the various parks throughout the metro area where severely injured abductees have been unceremoniously dumped with no warm clothing in subzero temperatures.

they're also claiming that one abductee currently in the ICU "deliberately ran head-first into a brick wall." this, after one agent told a healthcare worker that the abductee "got his shit rocked."

DO NOT LOOK AWAY.
