The heroic child who continues to struggle to make sense out of the world and the people in it, however, is developing a powerful source of strength, no matter what the anguish or bewilderment experienced along the way. Caught in a particularly cruel, frustrating, and irrational environment, he or she will doubtless feel alienated from many of the people in the immediately surrounding world, and legitimately so. But the child will not feel alienated from reality, will not feel, at the deepest level, incompetent to liveβor at least he or she has a decent chance to avoid that fate. To persevere with the will to understand in the face of obstacles is the heroism of consciousness.
Often children who survive extremely adverse childhoods have learned a particular survival strategy. I call it βstrategic detachment. β This is not the withdrawal from reality that leads to psychological disturbance, but an intuitively calibrated disengagement from noxious aspects of their family life or other aspects of their world. They somehow know, This is not all there is. They hold the belief that a better alternative exists somewhere and that someday they will find their way to it. They persevere in that idea. They somehow know Mother is not all women, Father is not all men, this family does not exhaust the possibilities of human relationshipsβthere is life beyond this neighborhood. This does not spare them suffering in the present, but it allows them not to be destroyed by it. Their strategic detachment does not guarantee that they will never know feelings of powerlessness, but it helps them not to be stuck there.

say it with me now:

Wash your fucking hands and fingernails before you start fingering her
Fingering a girl with dirty hands is biological warfare lol
a couple weeks ago this guy posted in the chicago pagan facebook group saying that heβs a djinn and that thereβs a portal between here and egypt and only he and one other person had the power to close it and there was going to be a massive sandstormβ¦ like dude, close the fucking portal, why are you even telling us this
palestine has taught me how easy it is to normalize genocide when it's so close to you
us americans currently live in a state actively continuing the largest genocide in history against its indigenous people
rightfully so, leftists and people with a moral compass are deeply disturbed by what's happening to palestine, and i think it's in part because we're outsiders not yet desensitized to violence against palestinians
but we also turn a blind eye to reservations where the government is actively depriving indigenous communities of adequate land, food, independence, sanitation, drinking water, and who continues to aid the collective forgetting of indigenous culture
north america was a whole ass world y'all, with civilizations as significant and massive as rome, and we know basically NOTHING about that world because our government has actively destroyed and buried it
the genocide is still ongoing; indigenous people are still here, fighting to preserve their culture and languages, and it's happening right now in your backyard
if you ever wanna know how israelis can live with themselves being so close to an ongoing genocide, you probably already know
And I'm not arguing that "I have to break myself working because I just don't have the option not to" is an acceptable or privileged situation, but if you can't do that the common alternative to that situation isn't "someone else steps in and provides the support and resources you need" as often as it's "you starve and rot in your own filth until you die from neglect"
The mythical disabled person who is so disabled that everyone consistently supports and accommodates them without question is a straw man which only exists as a hypothetical for the political purpose of denying real disabled people care while still being able to argue that said care would be accessible to disabled people who "actually deserves it"
we are NOT bringing 4chan incel terminology to this site, take that "foid" out of your post and go wash your blog out with soap
the memeification of fascism is a proven method of perpetuating and instilling it in other people. Layers of irony will not protect you once you adopt racist, sexist, ableist, transphobic terminology into your lexicon. you'll be acknowledging and nursing the mindsets and connotations borne of those words.
Apparently most people learned anything from the "ironic" Nazis trend of the late 2000s internet.
People back then were doing literally the exact same fascist "jokes" and claiming it was all "ironic" and not real. A few years later they marched through Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us" and murdered a Heather Heyer. Shortly after that they elected Donald Trump.
This is the literal exact same shit all over again.
not all psychotic experiences are this horrifying evil, they often range from mild annoyance to enjoyable. but some of yall ain't ready for this conversation
We really went from "free the nipple" to "um the public didn't consent to you wearing a choker"
In the name of disability pride month start giving a shit about psychotic people NOW
"All drugs are drugs" = a surprisingly radical position that will upset people right across the political spectrum
This means:
If you draw a hard line between "drug" and "medicine" based on current legality where you live (or any other criteria) you've gone wrong somewhere,
If you think legality and/or prescription status tells you all you need about a substance's capacity to do massive harm to someone's body, mind or well-being you've gone wrong somewhere,
If you think legality and/or prescription status tells you all you need about a substance's capacity to contribute meaningfully to someone's healing, function or happiness you've gone wrong somewhere,
If you think certain substances should be excluded from informed consent (either withheld or forcibly administered) you've gone wrong somewhere.
we've lost the plot at the point we're arguing about which billionaire is worse. one is active in their support of evil and one is passive. what is that MLK said about the white moderate again?? interesting!
My issue with the comparison of Elon Musk to Taylor Swift is the lack of nuance and the fact that it was made specifically to say something about women.
I've acknowledged multiple times there is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. The wedding situation in NYC right now is atrocious. Both absolutely contribute to harm, but it's illogical to assume their level of harm is completely equal or irrelevant.
Having an issue with billionaires is good, but whining about Taylor Swift because she's an annoying bitch and because her fans are annoying bitches isn't. Do you see the difference? Brittney Spears has a lot of money and privilege, but does that make the hate campaigns against her okay?
We need to be able to point out misogyny AND acknowledge harm at the same time. For example, everyone hated Justin Bieber and the Twilight series in the 2010s specifically to talk shit on young teen girls and their stupid vain silly interests. Twilight, in hindsight, had a lot of moral issues and was written by a Mormon woman who was clearly racist. Justin Bieber is currently a domestic abuser. See how both of these things have problems, but how ALSO it's wrong to shit on women's interests due to misogyny?
I know it's hard to hold two truths at once, but I hope you can learn to do so. And stop with the condescending tone. "Interesting!!" Like shut up. You're being a smarmy fucking asshole when you could've just asked your questions normally.
Taylor Swift doesnβt care about you. She only cares about your money.
Yeah I agree. Did you think this was an own?
There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. But pretending like Taylor Swift is the moral equivalent of Elon Musk "but for women" is truly braindead.
My opinion is nuanced for a reason. I don't have to be a Swiftie to point out the obvious.
It's not even hard to acknowledge the privelege you have over other more marginalized people within your demographic, and it does nothing to erase the struggles you still face.
Watch, I'll do it right now:
I, a white trans woman, have privelege over all racialized trans women. All the transmisogyny I face is amplified a thousandfold for them because that transmisogyny intersects with the racism they also face. And I will never be able to truly understand that as they do.
Did the transmisogyny I am subjected to dissapear? Lol, no.
Do I feel a need to invent some bullshit term like "transmisogynblanc" because they have the term "transmisogynior" to describe the specific form of oppression they face at the crossroads of transphobia, misogyny, and racism? Lol, no. I'm not at those crossroads. I'm just at the intersection of misogyny and transphobia. There isn't even an "anti white racism" road to intersect with those other two, it doesn't exist.
In case you're too dense: this post is criticizing "transmisandry/transandrophobia" ideology and it's belief that transmascs don't benefit from patriarchy.
Nope, she's not, sorry. This is misogyny.
Elon Musk is a white supremacist with a breeding kink who manipulates women into bringing more white babies into the world. He donated millions personally to Trump's campaign, led the DOGE takeover, ruined Twitter, publicly shames and disowns his trans daughter, and has been responsible for the rapid normalization of actual Nazi shit in public discourse.
No, Taylor Swift isn't "Elon Musk for girls."
Taylor Swift is a billionaire and undoubtedly a terrible person just like all billionaires. But comparing the two just so you can make a sly misogynistic comment about silly vain women and their silly vain interests is actually part of the fascist rot this shit contributes to.
The fact is, women aren't fascists at anywhere near the same rate as men, and people fucking hate that.
And one more thing, it's fucking tone deaf to say this shit after Elon publicly threatened to rape Taylor. They're the exact same though.
