Okay so went out to watch Obsession with a friend. I eventually had to leave the theater for a bit, overwhelmed. My friend came out and checked in with me, and they were being so sweet and caring, but it only made it worse bc like Nickie was being so "sweet and caring ". We laughed for a good long while and agreed we would be assholes to one another for a while.
"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.
@the-overanalyzer — #human rights don't disappear when someone does something despicable #I know that's an uncomfortable position to defend sometimes but you just have to suck it up
yeah!
you're allowed to FEEL like you want to kill rapists (esp your own if such a misfortune has befallen you). you're even allowed to WANT and WISH for their deaths. that's all normal natural and dare i say... healthy???
it's perfectly sensible to feel all that rage and bloodlust as we grieve the loss of our autonomy, even if it was brief, or if we grieve the fact that this happens to others, or the prevalence of this crime, etc. whatever the reason you want that person dead, you're certainly entitled to that mental state
all of those feelings are yours, and you are allowed to feel them as long as it takes you to feel them
BUT. that doesn't make those feelings justice. that doesn't make that rage and pain the right thing to base policy on. policy that crushes human rights is policy that crushes humans, both the ones you hate and the ones you love
It reminds me of the Sir Terry Prachett quote "If you did it for a good reason, you'd do it for a bad one. You couldn't say 'We're the good guys' and do bad-guy things."
The tldr I guess is that being treated like a victim is dehumanizing in the same ways being treated like a villain or perpetrator is, and it happens from the same people.
A terf telling a trans man he's confused and needs to be put in a mental hospital isn't less harmful or violent than terf telling a trans woman she's a predator and needs to be in jail.
In both cases, the terf is forcing a narrative onto someone else and saying they need to be removed from society.
Being forced into the role of victim is just as oppressive and harmful as being forced into the role of villain or dangerous person.
It's hard to reckon that, as an amab fem-leaning nonbinary person, because there are times in my life when I would have loved to be seen for the way I was the victim not the one causing harm. The kids who laughed at me the first time I wore a dress to school and the teachers who said nothing and gave a look that said they saw it and thought maybe it would help me through this "phase".
But at the same time, when I was in the mental health ward, I experienced a lot of being put in the role of victim. Constantly people saw innate parts of me as things to be fixed, and gave unsolicited advice to help me become their version of myself. I constantly had my own narrative of my trauma changed and reinterpreted to fit other people's narratives. Being a patient meant being a problem to be "fixed" not a person, in the way that wearing a dress in school meant being something to be ignored or punished rather than a person.
did tumblr delete my post
yeah, they did. I wrote up a big long post about the Trevor Project and the 12 hour charity livestream I'm participating in right now, and they deleted it. twice. We've raised over $50,000 for a legitimate charity but because it helps trans kids it gets deleted from the site
please share this if you can. so many amazing people have come together to make this happen.
if I make these links clickable they'll get deleted so please copy and paste them:

You ask the genie for the ability to create a pair of linked portals anywhere on earth, but it only works for you. You chose to have it connect somewhere near your town to a place in Japan, because you've always wanted to visit. As you pass through the portal, your clothes are left behind, as of course they are not you. Your prosthetic arm, however, does come through as it is judged to be enough of a part of you in your mind to count. But as you stand on the other side of the portal, you feel an eerie calm that unsettles you. Something's missing, something that made you uncomfortable but it was still familiar. You look back into the portal you passed through, and see a small child, covered in bruises, clutching a stuffed animal tightly while sobbing into its matted fur. You've rejected that part of your life, those memories and feelings, too much for the mirror to consider it a part of you. But all you know is the hate you have for the small child crying alone on the other side of the portal.
I tell myself every day "I love how complicated the world is and how nuance follows me everywhere I go like a little duckling" like apple cider vinegar shots for my mental immune system.
God made video game missions where you follow an npc to show humans what dogs feel like
Apples are so lovely
Two omniscient gods would hold each other gently and sob in one another's arms. They wouldn't need words, but they'd still be there for each other in a way no one else could be there for them.
There's a weird kind of worship of martyrdom that happens in social justice spaces, both liberal and leftist, that I think does more to disrespect the legacy of people who killed themselves. If you would jump on a grenade to save people, you are suicidal and we should all mourn that we live in a world where you did that, not admire the noble sacrifice you made. It's not normal or healthy to put your morals over your will to live, in the same way that it's not normal or healthy to put your poor self esteem or guilt over your will to live. Not treating a martyr as someone who was so suicidal that they felt killing themselves was the only way, and instead idolizing their commitment to their values, is sorta taking the meaning out of their sacrifice.
Stop telling me a bedtime story. Stop trying to manage my feelings. This sucks, and you know it's going to suck, and I know it sucks. There is no amount of poetry that will stop my heart from aching.
Save me Tumblr notes save me! I'm an attention whore and I own it.
Okay so a human who is the queen of a big group of vampires, based entirely around bees. Take a paper about how bees interact with the queen and how the queen interacts with the rest of the bees and make that how they interact. The vampires are not bees, but they act like bees in every possible way. This would be the best erotica.
An Eldritch monster who is infinitely moral by the standards of the society it finds itself in. It looks exactly human, it has no selfish motives, it simply incorporates itself into human society by being better at being a good person than any human. The DM doesn't even say what the monster does, only how everyone around them experiences this unfathomable 'good'. Some are deeply jealous but hide it, some worship them while destroying themselves to try to match their level of selflessness.
