Am Yisrael Chai!

Free Palestine from Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. Give them democracy.

Woman Life Freedom. Free Iran!

Free Ukraine! Russia is a terrorist state.

Romani people are still oppressed.

ICE are murderers, and the US immigration system needs to be dismantled entirely.

Trans women are women, trans men are men, and non-binary people are non-binary.

Intersex people deserve to be respected and given proper medical care. And intersex issues need to be discussed in their own context without connecting them to trans people.

Sex work is real work. We need to protect the people who choose to go into sex work while protecting the victims of trafficking. The only way to protect people who want to leave sex work is to protect people who want to be in sex work.

Vaccines are good and should be mandatory with rare, medical exemptions.

People know themselves best and can define their identities best. Don't tell people how they should call themselves. If someone isn't causing active harm, they're fine. Just let people live and stop worrying about he/him lesbians or whatever. Let people choose their own pronouns.

All human beings are equally valuable. All human beings deserve human rights. Yes, even those people.

it seems to me that antisemitism is a lot like misogyny in that it makes the brainless morons who partake in it abandon their pre-existing racism and xenophobia and unite in their sinister hatefulness

many such cases of like “heartwarming! this black nationalist and white supremacist put aside their differences to hate jews and women”

[weirdly-specific-but-ok]

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but the doctor down the street who gives me my T shots in a clinic so small that it's just two rooms was excited for me when she said my voice had dropped yes, India made legal gender change impossible but the receptionist who could see that I was a man didn't bat an eyelash when I asked to see the gynecologist and called me sir when he asked how I wanted to pay yes, India made legal gender change impossible but the barber cuts my hair exactly how I want it and never gave me strange looks for being in a men's salon not even back when I didn't pass as one

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but my friends have always gendered me correctly and stick to it even when it confuses other people and my friend's little sibling calls me older brother in Kannada yes, India made legal gender change impossible but my dog learned my new name quicker than the humans and she runs to give me a kiss when she's told to without being confused about who's being referred to

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but I can feel the Adam's apple growing in my throat and my muscles getting stronger, and my smile more real and I'm growing a beard, and I talk more freely

yes, India made legal gender change impossible but I'm here, and I'm alive, and so are you and there are good people, people who care and don't let them make you forget that-- you are not alone.

Imagine receiving an award in an industry that Jews built (Broadway) and then using your acceptance speech to smear them as colonizers and vampires.

but I'm sure he only meant Israelis, so it's FINE then.

[moran-with-a-g]

Love it when people say "Jews control everything".

We build an industry, the goyim take over it, they push us out of it, use it to harm is, but of course we're still the masterminds because we created it, didn't we? It must mean we control the world.

Jewish writers write stories, people love them, they retell them while removing all the Jewish themes, and then find a reason to claim why the original stories were actually secretly bigoted and so the newer versions are morally superior and you should erase the original creator from the work.

We get pushed out of spaces. We create new spaces. They get popularized and invaded and reinvented. And suddenly it's our fault it gets wild spread even when we're actively being pushed out of the spaces.

What is going on

[maimonideznuts]

There was a Shark bite at a popular beach in Australia (Coogee Beach), a lot of media is describing it as a "shark attack" but the aerial footage shows the large shark kind of lazily swim up, momentarily grab the woman's leg pulling her under, and immediately letting her go. It's the shark equivalent of picking up an interesting rock for a better look, they don't have hands. In the sharks defence you're in her house.

Not to downplay the seriousness of the injury incurred by an exploratory bite, it was a BIG shark (possibly a great white, unknown), It left the woman in shock, in and out of consciousness. She would have drowned if not for the off duty life guard who held her head above water until the on duty rescue team arrived.

I do think calling every injury caused by a shark an "attack" and every listless approach a "close call", is alarmist in an extremely unhelpful way.

-

As a side note. If you stay calm and keep your head, you do have a superpower in most curious shark encounters (when the shark is smaller than a great white). As a creature with hands you have the ability to redirect an approaching shark with a solid sideways guiding shove to the snoot.

You just might have to be brave enough to open your eyes underwater in the ocean to perform the move if you're not wearing a mask or goggles. The water should be pretty shallow where people are swimming casually, so you would only need to dabble like a duck, like "*ducks below the water* no, fuck off *push*"

I had a point at some point, but I got lost somewhere in "why isn't this thing I did all the time while diving general knowledge? It should be general knowledge"

[maimonideznuts]

Here it comes, the sharks are mindless man eaters sentiment

"Queensland Anglers Fear Rise In Bull Shark numbers, Saying They're Getting Bigger Too"

A petition has been lodged with the state government calling for population control measures on bull sharks in Queensland waterways as experts warn the species is difficult to comprehensively count.

Best not to tilt their heads back, they'll lose what's left of their brains.

Most shark bites do come from Bull Shark last I checked, and that's because the sharks and people both like to live where the river meets the ocean. Cows kill more people than sharks because they're big cranky animals that we in general interact with all the time... Sharks, only occasionally. There will never exist more large sharks than cows. Cows will always kill more people than sharks.

[nitpickspot]

Sharks explore the world with their mouths. Unfortunately their mouths are VERY LARGE and full of SHARP. Which is less than helpful for diplomatic introductions and innocent curiosity

[blackmantagirl]

so what I'm hearing is, Sharks are like toddlers and babies who also explore the world with their mouths too.

-insert absurdist thought of Babies with Shark teeth or Sharks with baby hands-

This is a picture of a cis woman, y’all are literally just racist

[torchickentacos]

TERFS DID THIS TO ME ON TUMBLR. I got an anon telling me I passed terribly. like. I'm literally cis and by telling me I do not pass, you are showing that you view womanhood in ways that are not only regressive for trans folk but also regressive and harmful for the very cis women you claim to support and prioritize. They uphold the very beauty and gender performative standards they seek to diminish. Fuck terfs.

[hexthelex-deactivated20230815]

Daily reminder that TERFism has roots in both fascism (eugenics, patriarchal gender performance) and white supremacy (euronormative standards of beauty and biology) and is by no means a viable form of feminism.

[weemietime]

My introduction to TERFs was watching one try to explain why a Holocaust survivor (aka starvation victim) from Ravensbruck had a "male jawline" lol

These are deeply unserious people

im curious about a specific generational divide

regardless of you being queer or not, did your parents ever gave you the "if you turn out to be gay it would be fine" talk, before you ever had the chance to say anything on your own about that?

gen z, yes

gen z, no

millenial, yes

millenial, no

gen x, yes

gen X, no

baby boomer, yes

baby boomer, no

Remaining time: 4 days 18 hours

because it happened to me and im wondering if this was a product of the ongoing cultural change around gay issues. before i ever had the chance to say to my parents "i am this" my mom was already sitting me aside to tell me "if there is anything you want to tell me, i want you to know ill accept you no matter what"

[shofarsogood]

No, and the only reason was because I came out at four and my parents didn't have the chance. But we always had queer family friends so I didn't know it wasn't universally acceptable until I was in middle school. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

One of the many things that infuriate me about recent trends on the left is the way they talk about solidarity, but what they demand looks and smells an awful lot like loyalty.

Read theory. Read the commentaries on the theory. If you don't understand, that proves you haven't read enough. If you disagree with any of it, that proves you're a bad person.

Follow the right influencers. Support the right politicians. Follow the leaders of our movement. Until we decide they're bad people, anyway.

March in our protests. Commit to our boycotts. Donate to our causes. Don't ask what we hope to achieve or how we think we're going to get that effect from what we're doing. Only a bad person would ask those questions.

Wave the flags and shout the slogans of people who want to kill you. People who don't see you as human because you're a woman, because you're queer, because you're Western. If you think solidarity requires any element of reciprocity, even to the point of both sides recognizing each other's human rights, that proves you're a bad person.

[some-israeli-guy]

I've been seeing this since before 2023. They're always talking about "allies" when they mean "supporters". allyship goes both ways, but a lot of the western left decided on a list of causes you have to support and expect nothing in return because "support isn't transactional", yeah well I'm not gonna support people who want me dead no matter if they claim to be helping others.

The densest people on the internet are the ones who say sci fi and fantasy are getting too political. Why can’t we go back to the good old days of The Twilight Zone, with its various episodes about mob mentality and the danger of mass paranoia that totally weren’t about the Red Scare. Or Star Wars and its genocidal empire of racially homogeneous Aryan men. Or Dune with its religious tribal peoples who live in a desert that contains the galaxy’s most valuable resource and the wars with the foreign colonizers, that was purely from Frank Herbert’s imagination. Can you imagine how much Star Trek would suck if it was packed to the brim with ham-fisted allegories of every societal issue of the 20th century. Not like all this modern ultra-political stuff, like a woman hero.
