margo "you can either stay out of my way or you can fuck right off" madison

[hirsuteandcute]

I'm just going to say it - body hair (and beauty standards in general) is truly one of the final frontiers of women's issues in the West. Too many women just love their gilded cage too much. It shocks me how virulently women will defend it. I barely open my mouth and the "well I like how it feels. it just makes me feel cleaner. sensory issues. I do it for me. feminism is about choosing (to conform)." brigade come rushing in by the dozens.

Well I don't like how it feels. I don't feel cleaner without body hair. I don't prefer not having body hair. But who will advocate for women like me, but me? For women who do like hair removal, they are advocated for every time they step out of the house and see 99% of the female population also conforming to that standard, or when they watch a movie and see all the shaved actresses, or view an advertisment, or open a magazine, or watch a music video, or scroll through social media, or walk down the streets without receiving insults and glares for having a completely normal bodily feature.

You genuinely can't even point out that hairlessness is a man-made standard without women losing their shit and acting like they are totally immune to propaganda they've been exposed to from birth. I'm so tired.

Women who you don't like, or you don't politically align with, or who are horrible people, still have the right to see their rapists and abusers face justice and to have their voices heard.

[queer-scots-geordie-dyke]

This is a putrid attitude to have, BTW. Rape isn't a punishment for being a shit person. It is a violent and fundamental violation of the right to control over one's body. Excusing, dismissing it, or justifying it, just once, just a little, is a road to total dehumanisation. The worst, most evil person in the world would still never deserve to have it happen to them.

[beaniebaneenie]

Additional reminder that there are always going to be people who think YOU are a horrible person, sometimes by virtue of being a Democrat, or queer, or being pro-choice...

and if you subscribe to the "horrible people don't deserve to see their rapists face justice/do deserve to be raped" take, then there will be people out there who think those things about you.

That's the thing about human rights: every human deserves them. Every single one. You do not have to earn them by having the "correct" opinions or doing the "right" things. Every single human deserves them, no matter fucking what, simply because they are human.

Because the second you start dehumanizing people and then using that as justification for stripping away their rights, there WILL be someone who uses that same justification against you.

btw the far-right is rising in europe and romani people are among the first targets

Roma Rights in State of Crisis, Declare 33 Human Rights Organisations - European Roma Rights Centre

Brussels, 9 June 2026: A coalition of human rights activists and civil society organisations today warned of ...

9 june 2026.

The human rights experts assert that the persecution of Roma is no longer a matter of policy failure or neglect, but a deliberate political project which has caused the securitization of Romani communities to accelerate in a short period of time. Anti-Roma political rallies and vigilante groups are tolerated in Hungary. Mass ethnic profiling and militarized police raids take place on a weekly basis in Greece. Anti-Roma security laws criminalizing motherhood have been passed in Italy. Anti-Roma legislation in Slovenia allows mass surveillance and police raids on whole communities.

Across the continent, Romani people are increasingly framed not as citizens with rights, but as internal security threats. This is compounded by a coordinated effort to delegitimize civil society and strategically defund anti-racist movements, as governments prioritize military spending over social welfare.

at least can all we agree that the original gay flag with the magic and sex colours is BEAUTIFUL and it should make a comeback

[funkyness]

what’s more iconic than this

[azeroundivided]

What about the final version of the flag by the original creator?

Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.

Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.

the devil is real and he's trying to convince me to rewatch the magicians

[probuccalfat]

you actually feel gaslit when you try to tell white people of a certain age that pewdiepie, with a platform so vast and catering to youth, helped reinvigorate racism and casual dehumanization towards indians because they get all “omg you can’t blame One man for that” like yes i can actually :) we were very incrementally making our way past the gas station indian popularized by apu and indian creatives were finally being given legitimate and serious opportunities (like say what you will about aziz and mindy in hindsight but at the time that was a shift culturally) only for this dumb swedish pig to get online and spark that vile shit right back up. ask any indian with a modicum of pride in their heritage and they can tell you how uncomfortable pewdiepie made us with ourselves

remember the magicians? that was fucked up

that WAS fucked up.

If u could bring dead ppl back 2 life with magic like in video games the hollywood stunt scene would be out of control. There'd be professional snuff actors winning awards for dying the best. Producers would be like "If u need somebody to get killed in a film call up Resurrection Eddie, nobody gets killed as good as Eddie"
