DONATE TO THE SAMEER PROJECT 🕊️

Mosab Emad Ali, part of the heart of the Sameer Project, was also martyred recently. The organizers could use all the support they can get right now.

clinical medicine is simple, basically the way it works is 99.999% of doctors don't know anything at all, so they only treat the 10–15 most common problems in their specialty. this might sound bad, but actually it's better, because 99.999% of patients don't have any complex medical problems anyway, which we know because they've never been diagnosed with anything except the 10–15 most common problems in the relevant specialty, because in order to be evaluated for something else they would have to be referred to one of the 0.001% of doctors who occasionally know something about some other condition, but they can't get that referral because they obviously don't need it because they've only been diagnosed with simple problems that the other 99.999% of doctors evaluate. so as U can see it's really about ensuring every patient gets the best possible care.

The existence of a safeword also implies the existence of a dangerword that you can use to instantly turn any sexual event into a combat encounter

it's a little ironic that "sadists/CNC doms/etc. should never actively want to do that they should be doing it in service of their sub and finding their sub's limits" is outright wayyyyy more rapey than anything a Scary Dom has ever said to me in the context of a scene. mfw i think people should be having sex they don't want to have but progressive

Yessss! I saw this take on threads (I always have a bad time when im on threads) and it took every fiber in my being to not say something about it but its been bouncing around in my brain ever since. Like. Actively encouraging people to do things they find scary and upsetting and morally bad (and crucially not fun!) because its what their submissive wants.

Its such an intersection of bad takes. Like doms arent kink dispensers, hard kink isnt predator behavior, in general people should be enjoying the kink they engage with not enduring it for their partner. People with this opinion are not safe to play with and are probably not going to have a very good time themselves either!

Also the classic but god! Its play pretend! Theyre mad that sometimes people play pretend!! (Sorry for the little rant kink is such an important topic to me and ive been looking for a place to get my thoughts on this out)

guy who's so straight he wraps around and becomes gay. he realizes that his target audience thinks gay guys are hotter and resolves to get out there and suck dick. and he's out there getting railed, but he's only in it to get pussy. he's studying the blade, he's on grindr for a wife. does he belong at pride? discuss

You could make a vent post about having no friends and it’ll blow up and people will start reblogging it just to say things in the tags like “#this would be me except I’m beloved in the community and every year all my awesome friends who would die for me come together and throw me a big surprise party because they adore me so deeply”

A lot of the time when I point out that some right-wing policy is proven to not achieve the thing it purports to have as a goal, people rightly point out that the real goal is the negative outcomes that do happen.

Which is correct!

But this is often framed as me approaching the right wing naively by the respondent.

That's not the case at all. I know they're evil. The goal is to demonstrate that they're lying by exposing the way the rhetoric fails to line up with reality.

This has to be ongoing work because someone new has their political awakening every day. Every day, someone needs to learn that the right wing position is wrong on all levels, not just the obvious ones.

there will be people out there who still think the war on drugs (as the absolute first thing that comes to mind) is a legitimate social cause against an antisocial blight on society. if you come out the gate with (the very true statement) that it's actually been a deliberate campaign to target minorities and other undesirable groups to the ruling class, you're going to sound like a clueless conspiracy nut

whereas if you come with a very defensible, statistically supported point of "it doesn't work and has never worked" you can open the door to the follow up question of "why did the government do it in the first place, and (in many cases) why are they still doing it?"

[tpwrtrmnky]

This, exactly.

The play is to:

Demonstrate that the policy doesn't work

Demonstrate that the people enforcing the policy have everything they need to know it doesn't work

Provide the context of what the policy achieves in the absence of its "intended" outcome.

Remind people that the purpose of a system is what it does.

Then, instead of being a non-sequitur claim you're just pulling out of thin air, the conclusion is the most reasonable way to assemble the provided puzzle pieces.

I don't think it's a coincidence either that the loss of the first few steps of that process - explain that it doesn't work, then explain why they do it anyway - correlates with an increase in conspiratorial thinking on the left. You only need to look for secret explanations when what they say doesn't match with what they're doing; when they're just saying "we're doing this because it makes you mad," there's no deeper analysis required.
