If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; he/him, 21, raging homosexual, kids get off my lawn. my tumblr is an eclectic mess of seemingly unrelated things, much like most of my life

it's always some chronically ill homosexual Polish guy who died age 39 and has been dead for two hundred years that writes the shit that rips into your soul and makes you'd feel so devastated your whole day is ruined

I don't like it when artists produce too much. You should not have one hundred and fifty symphonies. You should have maybe fifteen all said and done. You shouldn't write 60 novels. You get maybe ten. Then you have to take up pottery or something. And even then. Don't make too many pots.

my erotic fanfiction is more historically accurate than yours. here it claims that shes moaning 'yes,' however classical latin didn't have a word that corresponds to Modern English 'yes,' i.e. an affirmative answer to an interrogative. You could have easily avoided this glaring implausibility by allowing her to moan plus, 'more'—as exemplified in my critically acclaimed fic with an unprecedented number of kudos (eleven). I recommend that you log out of AO3 and return only after acquiring satisfactory knowledge of the subject matter.

"Kill your local sex offender!" Oh, you mean the guy who went streaking at his local college football game on a dare one time? That's a sex crime.

"No, I mean-"

Oh, maybe the woman who had to pee in a public park that only had pay toilets, so she tried to hide behind the bushes but got caught? Public urination is a sex crime.

"What? No, I mean-"

Oh, maybe you mean the homeless guy who had to strip down to get his clothes in the laundromat to clean them for the first time in weeks? He tried being subtle, but someone called the cops on him, and now he's on the sex offender registry for public nudity.

"Rapists and pedophiles! Kill rapists and pedophiles!"

Oh, like the trans woman who got called a pedophile groomer for helping a trans kid escape her abusive parents?

Or maybe the black man who got labeled a rapist because he came on to another man's wife, and he decided to get back at him by charging him with rape?

How about the 17 year olds who were fooling around, fully consensually, in one of their bedrooms? That's still technically underage sex and thus rape of a minor.

Oh, or maybe you're talking about the doctor who performed genital reconstructive surgery in a state that just voted to get that classified as rape?

People will do everything they can to get you convinced rape and pedophilia are the worst crimes possible, then accuse whoever they like the least of being either a rapist, a pedophile, or both, counting on you turning on them just for being accused of the crime.

"Oh, so you're saying you don't want to kill a serial rapist?"

That's exactly what I'm goddamn saying.

Once we decide a group is okay to kill, the government will do everything they can to convince you that their political enemies are either part of that group, or just as bad as that group, to get you to kill their enemies for them.

The only way out is to accept every life as worth saving.

following that last reblog, something I think a lot of people don't realize is that when you make it impossible to safely discuss suicidal thoughts and suicidality in your communities, a lot of suicidal people are not just going to continue repressing those thoughts and urges indefinitely (and that repression itself is a problem too btw, but I digress). a lot of suicidal people are going to seek out new communities where they can be open and honest about their feelings. there are a lot of pro-suicide communities on the internet who are very welcoming to desperate lonely people like this. and I mean, can you blame people for going there? if their options are 1) "open up to my friend/therapist/family, get the cops called on me, get tied down and strip searched by a medic, be imprisoned and traumatized in a hospital for a few days, lose thousands of dollars, never be trusted around medicine or sharps again" or 2) "anonymously make a new friend online who'll listen to what you have to say without judgement". like yeah. obviously people are going to choose the latter option.

make yourself a safe space for your suicidal friends, or you suicidal friends will find their own "safe" space somewhere else.

@traggots literally. literally. the way people are talking about "ai suicides" is one of the things that has made me realize what I'm talking about in this post^ needs to be said in the first place, because so many people think like. people are just asking chatgpt to write a grocery list or whatever and then getting unceremoniously coerced into suicide by it out of nowhere by a malicious force. and also that suicidal people are completely thoughtless and motivated by nothing in particular in their actions.

but it's very obviously lonely people who are already suicidal, without a safe outlet, finding what is essentially a safe outlet in a high tech diary where they can bounce their own thoughts off a wall, and then yes following through on those thoughts and urges since they evidently didn't have any outside help in the first place! made only more evident by the fact that the people in their lives were so out of touch/in denial about their loved one's emotions, that they felt the suicide could only be explained as something spontaneously and wholly prompted by a machine (very "social contagion theory", very "rapid onset dysphoria" adjacent thought imo).

banning chatgpt/ai (as some people are suggesting in response to these) is obviously not going to make the problem go away, and I don't think it'd even act as a bandaid to the problem. ai in this instance is fulfilling an emotional need for people that is going to continue going unfulfilled until the root causes are addressed (ie. until people can talk about this shit with other people and get a kind and understanding response instead of threats).

until then people are always always going to be finding alternative outlets to express these emotions in a safe, or at least safer, manner. if it's not chatgpt, it's a pro-suicide forum. if it's not a forum, it's an old fashioned paper journal. etc etc.

suicide prevention means making yourself a safe space for your friends, which means not calling the cops or 911 on your friends, not enforcing a taboo on their thoughts and emotions. it means responding with kindness and curiosity, and offering actual material help. and if you don't make yourself a safe space, they will find their own safe space elsewhere.

you know how flour companies during the great depression started printing the burlap sacks with pretty fabric patterns so the broke women making clothes for their children by reusing those sacks could make something that didn't look like a repurposed flour sack?

i feel like food companies who ship their things out in plastic tubs/containers need to embody this idea and make their tubs microwavable and dishwasherable so us poors can reuse them as other food containers so we don't feel bad when throwing them away because our apartment complexes don't recycle

what if your doppelganger loved being you more than you ever loved being yourself. they're better at being you and everyone loves them and it feels almost selfish to want your life back. i want clone horror but the horror is that the thing trying to replace you is also the person you always wanted to be.

[redstonedust]

and it is imperative that it ends with killing the better version of yourself with your bare hands btw.

I see a lot of Tumblr users who don't know their feminist history attributing the fact that women* are "allowed" to be masculine under the patriarchy as some sort of facet of the patriarchy universally accepting masculinity over femininity and that shit pisses me off so bad.

The reason why women* are "allowed" to be masculine when men* "aren't" allowed to be feminine under patriarchy is because DYKES and BUTCHES and other masculine women* SPENT DECADES FIGHTING FOR THEIR RIGHTS TO EXIST PUBLICLY.

The fact that women* can wear pants and suits etc. and are not constantly forced to be hyper feminine/in adherence with strict gendered dress codes without punishment (AND ONLY IN SOME COUNTRIES!) is a win on behalf of feminist political action NOT because of some baseline acceptance of masculinity in everybody by the patriarchy.

(*and people forcibly socially classed as women and men)

Like oh my lord some of you need to shut the fuck up and learn what it was like to be socially classed as a woman before the sexual revolution and what it continues to be like outside of the imperial core.

You are reaping the benefits of the activists who have come before you but because you do not know your history you are treating it like the boons of the oppressor classes and you are blind for it.

Me, tears streaming down my face, sobbing, as I stare at the stars: it’s just so beautiful

The medieval peasant I went back in time to give a bag of Doritos to, concerned: what terrible and powerful sorcerers they must have in your age, to be able to veil the vault of heaven itself from view, as you say

Me, sniffling: I didn’t realize, I can’t, it’s so much, I, I… are the chips good, at least?

Medieval peasant, trying to make me feel better: they’re… magical, strange traveler

The petition to the FDA regarding transfems on E is a huge deal and absolutely needs to be stopped but. Why haven’t I seen anyone mention that a list of transmascs on T already exists because it’s a controlled substance…

PDMPs can provide health authorities timely information for a targeted response to drug overdose.

trans men are already banned from sports as well, and have been for over 40 years

People who perform manual labor should be not only given high and liveable wages, but unlimited access to healthcare and physical therapy to help manage the myriad conditions that come from doing back-breaking work.

Like this is not an absurd concept. It bothers me that people think that it is.
