and so the battleships will sink beneath the waves you had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
this is simply the greatest video i have ever seen
I'm going to reblog this a million times so be it
#i love how they give up on the dumb gimmick and just make her do increasingly inane trick shots
please take a moment to really appreciate the argument of why "most cops don't live in the cities they oversee" needs to be addressed
full video here
[transcript:
Yusuf Abdul-Qadir: what percent of the police live in the city?
mayor: about 5% or so
Yusuf Abdul-Qadir: 5%, so 95% don’t live in the city.
mayor: yes.
Yusuf Abdul-Qadir: so when you say that the vast majority of the percentage goes towards salaries, et cetera, fringe benefits, that means that they take their money on 81, go to outside the city, pay taxes in those communities that have some of the best schools while we have an underfunded school district--
someone else: $60 million up.
Yusuf Abdul-Qadir: so i just want to put into context what we’re talking about, because it’s really easy to say, mayor-- and with all due respect, i like you. but that was a very politician answer.
mayor: sorry, what specifically?
Yusuf Abdul-Qadir: the, “we will consider, and we will look.” what we’re saying is we’re not interested in considering and looking. what we’re saying is, actually, there’s $50 million. commit to $20 million cut, because we’re sending money-- as the mayor of Syracuse, when you don’t have a tax base, you’re sending money out of Syracuse. and not just for 30 years-- for the rest of their life because their pensions, their health insurance, their families. so we are funding for other people’s communities to have the promise of the American dream while we are denying it in our community. that’s the context that you, as the mayor, have to look at this under.
so when we talk about renegotiating union contract, what we’re saying is you can’t play around with, “maybe, um, we will--” no. y’all got to go, because you don’t provide a service that is beneficial to the community, that is meaningful to the community. the services that you provide criminalize our community, impoverish our community, reallocate resources to suburbs. we are actually funding the suburbs, both in our police departments and in our schools.
and to be clear, just to be clear, it’s not just the fact of, like, the percentage of people. we’re also funding what race of people are on the police force, the percentage of race of teachers, as well, superintendent, board president. so we want to put in context, because it’s not just a class issue. it’s a race issue. we’re telling black and brown people and poor people, you don’t matter. the devil’s in the data and in the details, mayor. respectfully, it is not acceptable for us to be here considering.]
trans women who can not have bottom surgery due to complications are still women. trans women who can not afford or attain bottom surgery are still women. trans women who don’t want bottom surgery are still women.
reblog this to make a terf angry
More importantly: reblog it to make a trans woman feel better
not to sound preachy but i’ve never seen anybody rebut “make a terf angry” with “make a trans woman feel better” and… that’s kind of tumblr’s attitude towards trans women summed up as concise as possible. more people should strive to be the second thing because the first is performative and lazy… thank u discourser-of-kruphix…

body positivity has largely failed because people started arguing for attractiveness and romantic prospects instead of respect and dignity
this is truly the best summary of what all of this SHOULD be about
Can you explain in detail what you don’t like about rupauls drag race?
Sure, I’d be happy to explain in full detail.
I don’t like RuPaul because he regularly uses transphobic slurs and claims that the trans people who ask him to stop just have bruised egos.
I don’t like RuPaul because he claims that “no one has ever said the word tr*nny in a derogatory sense.”
I don’t like RuPaul because he stated on-air that he believes the only difference between men in drag and trans women is “About twenty-five thousand dollars and a good surgeon.”
I don’t like RuPaul because he had to be pressured by his network in order to discontinue a game on his show where his contestants attempted to clock drag queens the way they do trans women by labeling them with the s-slur.
I don’t like the RuPaul because he proudly defended Shirley Q. Liquor, a drag queen who performs in literal blackface. He said Liquor is “not racist” and “Critics who think Shirley Q. Liquor is offensive are idiots.”
I don’t like the show because one of its most popular contestants created a YouTube video where he “appeared to shoot and kill a trans woman (caricatured as having a wig and mustache) for objecting to certain language used by drag queens.” (This link is a step removed, as I’m not comfortable linking my followers directly to that kind of violence.)
So if I can sum that up, I “don’t like” RuPaul because he fucking hates me and my community.
I remember bringing up this topic like a year ago almost exactly, except I didn’t have all of these links and I got called out and blocked by shitloads of trans tumblr (or at least the side of trans tumblr that loves to defend RPDR) and people telling me, a broke ass trans woman with nowhere to go, no money to get there and hardly any resources at all, that I needed to go to more gay bars and check out the underground scene lol
But here you go, to all the people who didn’t block me.
I personally don’t watch because I was asked not to by a trans woman back in 2007-2008 I think, talking about how she and many others felt thrown under the bus by RuPaul (who’s early burlesque work “genderfuck” was a fascinating dissection of gender identity) taking ball culture mainstream and making it for gay men instead of all queer folk. In a nutshell she explained: while normalizing LGBT culture is a good thing and has given career opportunities to marginalised folks, to present ball/drag culture without the full spectrum of identities is to do it a disservice. Once on air and in demand, they should have expanded the diversity and never punched down.
I wouldn’t ask anyone not to watch but to at least watch critically and not be dismissive of those who find it painful because they’ve been told they were just gay drag queens not women.
