self isolating to cope is great until you look up one day and years have passed and you realise no one knew you when you were 18 or 19 or 20 or 21 and now they never will

[girlsmoonsandstars]

the great thing about un-isolating yourself is that you can literally start making friends whenever you want, and most people will continue to do so through the rest of their lives. you will meet new people at 28 and 37 and 43 and 56 and 61 and 72 and 85 and 94 who will love you.

you will spend the rest of your life meeting people who will love you.

we gotta bring back the word "bigot"

terfs are not radical or feminist, they are transphobic bigots.

"gender critical" means "looking into becoming a bigot."

swerfs are not radical or feminist, they are bigots.

"sex negative/critical" means "i am looking into becoming a bigot."

[anais-ninja-bitch]

jk rowling is a bigot.

[anais-ninja-bitch]

say the quiet part out loud.

SCOTUS is majority bigots.

the GOP is run by and supported by and comprised of bigots.

Tories are bigots.

Leon County FL is run by bigots.

bigots hate being called that bc there is no real argument against it. it puts them on the defensive. make them defend their cruel, mean ideologies. make them feel bad.

they deserve it.

if you had asked me as a child what colour the sky was, i would have confidently said blue and yellow. because i grew up on the baltic coast next to one of the most travelled ship routes of the world, and the unfiltered sulfur pouring out of the exhausts of nearly a hundred cargo ships every day turned into a thick layer of sickly yellow laying over the horizon. especially on sunny summer days, it settled of the sea like the cheap imitation of a sunset, out of place during the bright daylight.

then, from one summer to the next, the yellow slowly but surely faded away. because a new legislation passed - one which heavily penalised airborne ship emissions in the area. and while the silhouettes of ships across the passage never became less frequent, their backdrop was now such a pure blue that its hard to imagine that it was ever different.

i think about this everytime someone tells me that climate legislation doesn't work, everytime a new media story declaring our helplessness in the face of certain environmental doom makes the rounds. don't get me wrong - the situation we are facing in terms of climate change and environmental destruction is certainly terrifying. but everyday, people are working tirelessly to implement law and policy that could change that fact. and because of those people, a newly bright blue sky touches down over the baltic sea. and that has to count for something, i think.

I hear people talk about how punk clothing is expensive, how you don’t have enough money to buy docs so obv you aren’t a real punk, how you can’t buy pins anywhere, how punk jewelry is sooo expensive BULLSHIT

The backbone of punk is diy. Punk is messy, punk is making the best of what you have. Nothing is more punk than making your own beauty with the shit you find scattered about

Wanna have docs? Buy some knock offs for 20 bucks and add some spikes no one will care

Want patches? Embroider on some old fabric. Use paint, bleach, markers, whatever you have. If that’s not good enough, buy from small businesses when you can

Want pins? Make em. Use safety pins and a bottle cap and you got a pin. Just paint something on, if you don’t have paint, I’ve used white out and pens just do whatever. Also fr just um borrow from any big shitty chain store, not from small businesses tho

Want jewelry? Pliers are your best friend. Fix broken jewelry with em, use chains u found to make something. I’ve used a hanging plant wire to make a barbed wire bracelet with nothing but pliers. Just fuck around. Buy from small businesses and again, big shitty chains are fair game

Want spikes and cool metal shit? Literally just take any metal like literally anything and stick it to your clothes. Safety pins, can tabs (esp monster ones bc fun colors) lighter caps, make spikes out of cans, take chains outta the recycle bin

Punk is the most accessible subculture. Punk was made by people with no money, and anyone who tells you you need fancy shit to be punk ain’t a real punk. Punk is about fucking around with the idea of what you should be, so just have fun! There are literally no rules!

“men” vs “nonmen” is literally terf rhetoric stop spreading that shit

[conarcoin]

like im actually fucking begging you stop spreading this shit this isnt how gender works you guys are literally just being woke transphobes lol

[conarcoin]

implying all nonbinary people are “nonmen” for the sake of including all nb people in lesbianism literally also implies that nonbinary gay men can’t exist which really isn’t the hill you should be dying on, weirdos

you guys are literally just making gender binary 2

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Also nonbinary isn’t Woman Lite, which is what this kind of dichotomy is intended to imply.

i know we're all probably past realizing this but can you believe that science has come to a point where we're coming up with all of these way better and way less harmful alternatives to things like plastic just for them to never be implemented on a large scale and instead be used in small and impractical situations that provide net zero benefit just because the companies that do produce plastic don't want to let go of their stranglehold on the markets.

[godspeedyoublackemperor]

this is what we mean when we say "capitalism prevents innovation" in all of its ability to apply to the real world and not in some weird theoretical context. at the end of the day, capitalists want to turn a profit. and they can't do that unless they buy out all the competition. going back to our plastic example, pretty much every executive in the plastic industry can agree that any widespread alternate to their product is gonna hurt their profits, so they can either choose to completely reform their companies and produce the alternative, or they can take the easy route and just spawn kill any plastic alternative kickstarter. this is what lenin meant by monopolies; it's not just one company, but a number of companies that can all agree that anything outside of their jurisdiction is Bad and needs to be neutralized. it's how entire industries can thrive despite the general population knowing that what they're doing is bad.

I just felt these tags were too important not to add @blacksasuke

[jewishdaredevil-deactivated2022]

[ID: Two tweets. The first tweet is by Antoine @AJohnsonHist reading: The chiropracter really told me that because I'm Black, my bones are naturally denser than other 'races.' When I gasked what he based that off of, things got awkward LOL. Needless to say I'm getting a new chiropractor.

The reply is from AmandaBeth @AFon789 and reads: I had a pharmacist (which requires a doctorate) tell me black people have an extra muscle in their calves which is why their such good athletes. When I told him that’s not true he looked at me like I was crazy. end tweets]

Screenshot of tags reading: #same thing about a midwife on twitter who had her mentor tell her that black skin is ‘thicker’ so u have to jab us harder with needles #when we say white supremacy and systemic oppression this is what we mean]
