Hi, I'm Aurin, I'm a mellow radical. Pronouns ki, ki, kis (they, them are acceptable).
I'm queering transily! Perisex genderqueer, agender, asexual and aromantic.
🤪 crazy, csa and corrective rape survivor and survivor of intra-community rape (by fellow queer and/or anarchist/activist people), autistic, 🥄spoonie, fat.
*1980s in germany, now live in Finland
white ex-middle class (now poor) culturally christian
heavy anarchist leanings but too punk for labels

ACAB, kill the cops in your head and let wildflowers overgrow the parking lot of your mind until it becomes an ungovernable jungle.
Post about how we need to stop abusing children as a society.
Aurin posts (all my posts)
YOU CAN HIRE ME to listen to you, validate, help you figure things out emotionally, all that good stuff. More about that and examples of my work at my blog here.
more on my worldview from my old intro post that I can't let go of but doesn't technically fit:
Nature is fractal and so is oppression, it cascades up and down the layers of existence from cells to organs to bodies to communities to global scales and beyond. So, I fight against abuse and oppression on any and all levels that I can, and I heal and nurture life on any and all levels that I can.
Abuse and oppression are the same thing, they follow the same patterns and logic, just on different scales. That's one reason why we must overcome interpersonal abuse in order to overthrow capitalism and the state or build any kind of better world.
I want to build communities that are free from rapists and abuse and actually caring, because all the different activist scenes and movements I was involved with in germany (all white dominated, which might be their biggest flaw), including feminist, queerfeminist, queer, climate justice, AntiAtom (anti nuclear), antifa, anarchist, autonome, vegan etc, all utterly failed at that. I am here to change that mindset and dynamic, or die trying.
Because one anarchist rapist does more harm than 1000 cops ever could.
Despite talking about heavy topics, I try to be inclusive of minors. I explain more about that in this post.
it really pisses me off when adults sit there and drill it into kids’ heads that their youth is fleeting and tell them things like “enjoy your childhood while it lasts because this is the best it’s gonna get”. why are you telling children that adulthood is the worst thing they can experience? seriously what the fuck is wrong with you, why are you trying to make them feel like growing up is a fate worse than death? trying to convince them their life is over before it even begins? i’m tired of that shit. because tell my why my 12 year old cousin told me when she turns 30 she’ll be so depressed she’s just gonna cry all the time. what the fuck. kids don’t need to hear that their already stressful and overwhelming lives are never going to get better, that the abuse and lack of autonomy they face is apparently the highlight of their lives. they need to hear about adults who are happy to be alive and happy to have made it to their age. they need to know that growing up rules, it’s a gift and life does not have to suck for them, that they have a future that’s worth sticking around for. this rhetoric is so damaging mentally and i’m about to start hitting the adults who parrot it. i’m sorry you hate your life but you don’t get to dump your issues on these kids. don’t piss me off and leave these babies alone!

mama did raise a quitter—someone who knows when to let go, someone who won’t put all their energy into something they should move on from, someone who knows when it’s time to stop
Ryland Grace and his popularity as a character feels like such an important step in repairing the cultural tsunami left by the long running trope of every genius character needing to be an insufferable asshole to everyone in a ten mile radios about it.
Conversely, Eva Stratt is doing wonders for repairing and inspiring a appreciation for commanding women with dubious moral convictions who are fully willing to bend laws for the greater good without hesitation.
IDK I think if cis men are being told that being fat will lower their testosterone and make them Insufficiently Masculine, and cis women are being told that being fat will raise their testosterone and make them Excessively Masculine, and fat trans people are being denied the right to medically transition if they're fat, and thin trans people are warned against HRT because it will make them fat (and this is said about both testosterone and estrogen HRT), and androgynous-presenting people are told that only thin people count as androgynous...
Then maybe...
Maybe...
Maybe the weight loss industry is just using Gender to enforce fatphobia.
Everything is so rushed. People in their twenties complaining about being old, sped up songs, sped up videos, too many things to do in such a short time. We have lost the art of lingering.
