my manifesto, or Smiling Dog Thought
tumblr is so concerned with queer infighting and I see some new term for describing how some trans person has it harder than some other trans person or some shit like that WE ARE ON THE SAME SIDE

I loved tumblr at one point but it's mostly people who never leave their house posting about something that is just not in any way relevant to anything other than arguing online and people posting about how they need money
My new world is one of left unity, trans unity, queer unity, racial and ethnic solidarity; solidarity in the face of the white cis hetero male western bourgeois oppressor; the abolition of the unjust hierarchical systems of white supremacy and patriarchy and cissexism and homophobia and the establishment of socialism as the primary mode of production globally
Never forget that we have more in common with other queer people and leftists than we do with the actual oppressors
Make art, make friends, make merry, and make out
If you're going to come at me for some minute argument about how I'm ignoring some issue about leftism or transmisogyny: I have considered it. I have more subtle opinions. These are opinions that can be hashed out after our basic rights are secure.
Leftist infighting and queer infighting are things that have historically kept us from actually going out and associating ourselves with people who are actually advocating for our rights in the present moment who have the power to change things in the short term.
UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO COMMIT TO SERIOUS REVOLUTIONARY PLANNING you are better off voting for reform than you are longing for the rapture/revolution
Be a practical person
Love your people
We are stronger together
