Screaming Into The Void

I’m depressed and confused. Sometimes I find a reason to smile.

[radfemme-rage]

the EU parliament invited *the TALIBAN* to brussels, to have tea with them and discuss sending afghan refugees (i imagine there will at least be some women and girls) back to afghanistan.

let this serve as a reminder to every woman, no matter where you live, it’s not you today but it will be you tomorrow.

you may live in a “progressive” place, but your rights as a woman and girl will always be up for debate and trades with male and patriarchal female politicians in power.

I haven't seen people arguing this in a bit so maybe I've cleansed my feed, but this is why xenophobia towards me is harmful to women. Saying men should not be allowed to immigrate means the women cant immigrate. Saying men should be sent back means the women will be sent back. Saying religious clothing is unacceptable outside means the women will be inside. Telling a man to go back where he came from means the women have to go with him.

You dont have to like men, but using feminism to justify xenophobia shows me that you are more interested in your racism than your feminism.

if youre in the US (especially the northeast + michigan) i would avoid bagged salads/greens and generally wash your produce very thoroughly unless you want the diarrhea parasite

[klapollo]

Outbreak of diarrhea-causing parasite grows to more than 1,000 cases

Michigan is experiencing its largest outbreak of a parasitic infection that causes severe diarrhea. Nearly 1,000 people have been diagnosed

this is not life-threatening, but also who wants weeks of diarrhea and a fucking parasite in them lol. if you suspect you've already had this and it's passed, i would see a doctor. you might need an antiparasitic anyway. if you're actively sick, see a doctor and they might be able to prescribe medication to help you get over it faster.

try to avoid eating raw vegetables, scrub fruit with a produce brush and rinse thoroughly with water. again, don't bother with premade greens or bagged salads. if you buy lettuce, remove the outer 2-3 layers of leaves.

there are UNVERIFIED rumors that the greens have been linked to a company that sources to taco bell. some locations have been actively pulling fresh ingredients like lettuce, avocado, and pico de gallo to mitigate the threat, so i would avoid any products from them just in case. considering how vast supply chains are, i'd be wary of any fast food greens in general for now.

[borrelia]

also note this is a PARASITIC infection. most diarrhea-causing pathogens you expect to contaminate your greens are bacteria (e.g. e. coli and salmonella), which are a different domain of organism altogether. cyclospora is a protozoan, which is bigger and more complicated than a bacteria (for reference, malaria is also caused by a protozoan). bacterial diarrhea can be dangerous, but you might also expect to weather it and survive unscathed. do NOT fuck with PARASITIC contamination. you should be scared of this one!

[gourde]

Another note: YOU CAN'T WASH IT OFF!

Only high temperatures will kill cyclospora. It resides in what is like a shell, which is highly resistant to water and most cleaning chemicals. The substance it uses to cling to food is so strong we don't even fully know what its limits are. It may be best to avoid fruits and veggies you can't cook. Scrubbing only works if done hard enough and on foods with no hiding places (Like cucumbers and grapes). Peeling the skin off is your best bet at avoiding it however, scrubbing is not guaranteed.

Thank you OP for posting! Usually washing does work on most sicknesses, just not this one.

There goes the salad I bought last week...

i feel sorry for all of the kids that got their blogs infected with cockslinger's bots. we - as adults - may just raise a brow and move on, but i can imagine that suddenly getting 20+ rape and murder threats a day being pretty damaging for a young teenager's psyche.

it's not normal and tumblr pretends not to see it, but when minors on their platform get harassed by a swarm of anonymous accounts, all wishing them death and brutal rape, that's literally a crime by most law systems. not to mention the moral side of it.

@staff how do you feel about little girls and boys being unconsentually exposed, multiple times a day for who knows how long, to explicit scenarios of them being raped and killed, made a sex slave, accused of grooming or pedophilia?

some of you may be parents yourselves. how would you feel about your children being targeted and bombarded with the kind of messages below? just because some time ago a radfem reblogged a cute cat picture from their blog, now they're threatened with sexual violence and death. it's your fault too.

[gender-apostate]

@staff They swarmed the notes of one of my posts. While I was blocking and reporting them, I saw them under the posts of children posting harmless fanart of their favorite video games and cartoons. I saw them on a vegan cupcake recipe.

Can you imagine being a 13 year old and being met with hundreds of messages like this on your my little pony drawing? This is actually insane.

I admittedly don't know how exactly situations like this are handled in terms of law, but I did see some other people mention the point has been reached to circumvent tumblr and actually file a complaint here: https://complaint.ic3.gov/

[purples0mething]

@staff @tumblr @support I thought you all were responsible for proper moderation. This website is so severely unregulated that it hurts. 2018 porn ban? What porn ban? There's so much porn, including one that can fall under the CP category (before someone jumps me, that's the legal term used in my country). Promotion of pedophilia left and right? Aren't you supposed to respect the laws of EU members? Then let me enlight you, in Poland public (which includes online as Internet in public space) promotion of pedophilia (which will include obviously porn, but also romanticisation in writing, lolisho, kodocon, shota, lolis, whatever else shit pedos come up with) is illegal. And oh... Poland is an EU member. And you're actively ignoring their laws. Shame if the government or EU parliament found out....

And now we have someone wishing kids to be raped? The lack of care the lack of any action from your side is utterly disgusting. Shame on you @staff .Shame on you

[marbleguard]

idk how any woman can come out of an anthropology degree without having grown a new third eye about male nature

[marbleguard]

oh okay so the peoples of the arctic and the peoples of the amazon and the peoples of west africa and the peoples of southeast asia and the peoples of the carribean and the peoples of eastern europe and the peoples of north america and the peoples of the Andes and the peoples of fill in the blank here all just happened to independently develop cultures where men systematically mistreat, devalue, and dispossess women in eerily similar ways. hm.

[marbleguard]

there comes a point where you're doing your assigned reading on a culture in a land so foreign to you in almost every way that you can hardly imagine what it would be like to live there, but then you get to the sections that mention women and suddenly you're like "gee this feels familiar. I recognize almost all of this. I can easily put myself in these women's shoes" and then after enough of those moments the third eye busts out of your forehead and never goes back in again

[marbleguard]

then you have to go the rest of your life pretending in polite company that you do not have a third eye and it is not letting you see the invisible fabric underlying everything around you in society. Every once in a while someone in casual conversation will be like "I wonder why XYZ is this way in society, weird huh" and you can immediately give them the answer and they look at you like you're a genius with divine insight and you're sitting there thinking holy fuck why am I the only one who can see all of this. This is a disaster.

Bearer of the curse (curse of being a certain type of woman and having an education in a social science)

[nobleelfwarrior]

And other anthropologists will say that feminism is for everybody and that this culture actually put women in power and we have to respect this groups beliefs that a woman knows her period is a dangerous power that cannot interact with certain artifacts or rituals. So you say "yes, this group was better, but better isn't good. They still kidnapped women to marry or enslave" and "feminism is about womens issues. You watering it down is antifeminist" and "do we have an ethical responsibility to push back on harmful cultural beliefs when we aren't a part of the culture?" And you're treated like you're crazy.

This is so wildly homophobic I don’t even know where to begin. I feel so disheartened.

[old-school-butch]

Why are these people in the same community as gays and lesbians? This ideology is fundamentally hostile to our existence.

[transphobia-is]

transphobia is homosexuality. Example 5

[femclasscirce]

Isn’t this the TIM who started the barbie classism discourse

[friendlymathematician]

and they’re always using those little euphemisms to appear reasonable to people who don’t know much about trans ideology. it’s not “unfamiliarity of the body type”. it’s (depending on the person) somewhere on a scale from “complete lack of attraction to members of that sex” and “actively repulsed by members of that sex”. but it sounds more palatable to the general public to speak of “overcoming an unfamiliarity” than to outright state “overcoming a lack of attraction”.

[nobleelfwarrior]

This is also so weird because I have much more cosmetic preferences that are still deal breakers. Meanwhile men are out there saying if you're not double d or your nose isn't perfectly centered then you may as well die.

All sexual boundaries need to be respected, especially sexual orientation.

[gender-machine-broke]

Being a closeted trans woman means terrorizing every single woman around you and being a sexual predator and all of that is okay because you can’t be ✨authentically yourself✨ and after admitting that’s the type of person you would be we should just accept there is no part of you that is that way now and trust you 100%

[nobleelfwarrior]

Especially considering the many racist, pedophilic, and incestuous "jokes" gooseworx has made, continuing up to a few months ago, finding out Jax was a self insert has made Jax less interesting and more disturbing.

If Jax is supposed to be the "bad" path gooseworx could have taken, we can expect that Jax also believes that that those inappropriate comments are also ok. This means that he was a bully and racist, misogynistic, etc.

I also have something to say about death redeeming characters, but that's for another day.

[gender-machine-broke]

Yep! Reminds me of this. I hate people who act like being a horrible bigoted abusive person is some relatable “phase.” You and your “journey” aren’t the only ones that matter. Your victims matter and they shouldn’t have to keep silent just because you are happier now. People acting like anyone who criticizes goose simply lacks media literacy are making me insane because these racist and misogynistic tweets are very public

[nobleelfwarrior]

You are so right about your tag about how Jax tortures women. Like, Kax doesn't like Kinger but Kinger is never physically or emotionally abused. He doesn't break his mask like he does to Gangle, he doesn't steal body parts like he does to Zobble, he doesn't target like he does Ragatha. He just is dismissive of Kinger.

They could have avoided some of this scrutiny if Kinger had been a target too. Jax would still be a bad person but instead of intensely misogynistic tones it would just be shitty guy syndrome.

[princessterf]

What do y'all feel about the viral tiktok video about the man in the bathroom with his 2 girls washing their hands? I feel like he could have just stood outside the door. And I feel like so many people are doing the most because its a dad doing the bare minimum.

[evenlesssentimentaltranslator]

I haven't seen the tiktok itself but I've seen TRAs all over it specifically because it gives them ammunition against feminists who don't want TIMs in the ladies' room.

[shes-unforgettable]

I saw a tweet that said

Mom with daughter: women's bathroom

Mom with son: women's bathroom

Dad with daughter: women's bathroom

Dad with son: men's bathroom

And like ummmm..... No........ Why is the women's bathroom the open space that's supposed to accept everyone. It's not the Children's bathroom. There's no reason for a man to be in the women's bathroom. Women don't go into the men's bathroom with their sons. You'll be with your daughter the whole time, go in a stall with her and stop inserting yourself in the one place you're not supposed to be

[nobleelfwarrior]

I don't want little girls in the men's bathroom because of urinals and creepy men. When they go to wash their hands, they could still be flashed but I agree that women's spaces are not a catch all for anyone that might be vulnerable.

I do think the dad was ok in this case because he checked to make sure no one was already in there and he announced himself and his intention to leave quickly once his daughter's had washed their hands. His daughters were also small enough that they needed help reaching the sinks and may have needed help in the stalls. If he had been beligerent or entered without announcing himself i do think he would have been in the wrong. However, there is an argument to be made that he could have done the same thing in the mens room. The man that complained about him was terrifying the little girls and being aggressive in a way I think was inappropriate.

To me, this was a loose loose situation. I think the angry man would have also called the police if he had seen the little girls in the men's room as well. The real solution is to have more family restrooms, imo. This will be safer for the children and for the women using the women's restroom. Also, a stall designed to accommodate children would have stools and stuff so they could wash their hands.
