[gahdamnpunk]

The fucking irony

[vaspider]

So I saw this bullshit when I was on a TERF-blocking spree...

Half your TERF bullshit that people accidentally reblog is couched in dogwhistles which sound reasonable until I realize y'all are defining people's lives and axes of oppression by their genitals, reducing me to whether I've got a vagina or not. You know, like misogynistic assholes do.

The other half makes sense until I realize that y'all have a fourth grade understanding of biology and think that humans only have XX and XY rather than six karotypes with varying phenotypes.

Context matters, you umbrella made of dried seaweed.

Honestly, I just saw a post claiming that it's "rape by deception" not to tell someone you're trans before you kiss them. This is literally exactly the same rhetoric that had a lesbian punching me in the 90s for not disclosing I'm bi the second she started hitting on me, because I somehow deceived her.

TERFs are fucking exhausting.

OP might agree with a nazi post if it said, “America needs to protect vulnerable communities from crime and violence” because it didn’t say, “vulnerable communities = white communities, and all the crime and violence that we care about is committed by people of color or immigrants or both.” 

OP might agree with a pedophile who posted, “Children are not property, and adults need to respect their opinions!” Sound fine, until you notice they mean, “Respecting their opinions means letting them make all decisions as if they were adults.” 

And the rest of us might reblog TERF rhetoric that said, “Women need to stand in solidarity against men trying to shut down their communities” until we realize that they’re defining “women” and “men” according to their own dogma, and not by biology or the law.

Dog whistles get shared because they leave out the half of the statement that clarifies their meanings. Anyone can get caught by those - they’re designed to be deceptive, to encourage support from people who don’t know the rest of the meanings intended by the words.

countries where prostitution is legal have higher rates of human trafficking. that’s like an actual fact. not an opinion or anything. so tbh it seems a bit ‘swerfy’ to completely ignore that

[patrexes]

speaking, uh, as a formerly-trafficked sex worker, it’s extremely difficult to come forward as a trafficking victim in countries where sex work is criminalized; you just… get criminalized under those same anti-prostitution laws. of course reported trafficking would increase when the sole fact of coming forward as a sex worker at all no longer endangers you.

[xenoqueer]

This line of argument is the same one that you see with conservatives who point to the increase in divorce rates as proof that making divorce safer is endangering marriage, while ignoring the massive drops in domestic abuse, murder, and suicide.

It’s a shot argument with them, and it’s a shot argument here.

[61below]

In WWI, when they introduced helmets, they saw a sudden spike in head injuries.

What the casual observer may miss was that they were seeing the increase because of a dramatic decrease in deaths from head wounds.

I will continue to call The Creature “Frankenstein” and no force in Heaven or Earth will impede that.

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

I also laughed at him totally deliberately calling attention to the fact Victor isn’t a real doctor because he dropped out of college and built a guy out of corpses

[zagreusavenger-deactivated20200]

If y’all wanna know the true power of hate, just remember that Alan Turing, the breaker of the enigma code in WWII, was driven to suicide by being forced to undergo chemical castration as a punishment for his homosexuality.

Historians say he saved 14 to 21 million lives.

I’d also like to say in the time we studied WWII in school, the history textbooks never mentioned him. I had never heard of the guy until I watched “The Imitation Game” which I 110% recommend you watch if you haven’t.Alan Turing was a blessing to humanity who saved (once again) 14 to 21 million lives, and he is left out of history because he was gay.

And this is just one example?? So many brilliant and heroic people are left out of history because of their race, their gender, their sexuality, their religion, and it’s just because some bigots in positions of influence get to decide what parts of history are remembered.

[outlanderalien]

This man has had a profound effect on the world, it’s estimated he shortened the war by 2 years, saved countless lives and was the father of modern computing. Without him the world would be a very different, and very dark place.

[piss-bong]

He wasn’t just chemically castrated. The injections they have him were intended to decrease his libido as part his sentence for “gross indecency”. About 2 years after his trial he was found dead in his apartment next to a half eaten apple that was filled with cyanide (which became the inspiration for the Apple logo).

Turing is one of the most amazing people in all of history. He developed our modern method of computing (see: the Turing Machine) and advanced computer science by immeasurable amounts. And he dies when he was 41. Just imagine if he lived in a world where he was accepted. Imagine the technology we would have today and how many more lives would have been saved. No person deserves what Turing got, especially not someone as brilliant as him.

[nikola-like-tesla]

TEACH. CHILDREN. ABOUT. ALAN. TURING! WHEN THEY LEARN ABOUT WWII, THEY DESERVE TO KNOW ABOUT THE MAN WHO ENDED IT!!!

lions are like transgendering lol

LOL theyre just transgedering :)

Game over, Republicans

[midnight-mod]

Oh!!!! I got to see the first one in person, actually! She’s Mmamoriri from Mombo in Botswana! She was beautiful! And her pride is the group of lions often featured in nature documentaries since their main prey is cape buffalo, a huge and incredibly dangerous animal, resulting in some truly incredible battles between the species.

According to my guide, it was likely she had internal testes along with her external female genitalia, resulting in an increased testosterone level! It’s especially interesting just how dark her mane is, as black manes tend to only present in males with high testosterone. Fascinatingly, it presents not just as a mix of male and female physical traits, but also behaviors! 

Here’s a picture I took of Mmamoriri (left) with a male from her pride. As you can see, she’s got the full striking mane, but her face and body are much smaller than the male’s.

Apparently this mix of traits has made her EXTREMELY popular within the pride. She hunts and cares for the young with the lionesses, which helps greatly since her larger stature is a major asset in taking down the formidable buffalo they feed on, but also roars and has a mane, and is therefore able to chase off hyenas (which tend to be stronger than female lions and harass them/steal food/kill cubs) with the males. Mmamoriri has fully diversified her portfolio!

So she’s a kickass intersex lion who says fuck no to gender roles and in doing so has become a major asset to her pride!

It is, unfortunately, probably the result of inbreeding in her pride, which is cut off from wider populations by virtue of living on an island in the Okavango. She is infertile, like the previous maned lioness in the pride, Martina.

Emily Carroll

[thelibrarina]

I reblog this every time I see it, because the part that makes this so horrific to me, is that the room is a direct callback to Goodnight Moon. It takes this memory of safety and security and turns it directly upside down and I love it.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

hey so Emily Carroll is my absolute favorite horror artist and her stories are some of the greatest things i’ve ever had the ghastly pleasure to read. many of her comics are free online, such as the classic His Face All Red

[aplaceofnoaccount]

Emily Carroll is so fucking good I love her so much😂

Actually Potatoes were originally grown in Peru

[neogale]

As a kid who lives in Peru I can confirm that potatoes are from here and that we have over 1200 varieties of potatoes

[captainlordauditor]

only corn

[teaboot]

Natives had corn before us. U gonna be a white supremacist u gonna eat white food. Sheep guts and boiled bread my dudes

[harperhug]

Haggis is from Scotland. If we’re being fair with no immigrant food whatsoever, they can’t eat that either.

[vanshira]

We’re getting down to “if you hate immigrants you can’t eat” and I’m 100% okay with that

[xmagnet-o]

Even the white immigrants are stanning this post. Keep the solidarity going.

[stainedglassruneycorn]

man, all they could eat would be turnips and cabbage.

[glompcat]

It’s a minor pet peeve, but it is everywhere today so errrr…. please keep in mind that “Rest in Peace”/RIP literally comes from a latin phrase and is a very very deeply Christian expression.

When talking about the departed, Jews say “may their memory be a blessing.”

So please, when talking about a dead person who is Jewish, try to keep in mind that RIP is a Christian phrase.

[meggory84]

I learned something today, so I’ll pass it on so someone else can learn too

Muslims say:

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (Arabic: إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ‎)

“We belong to Allah and to Allah we shall return.”

This is so powerful and courageous. Police all over the country are pulling this despicable shit. They’re supposed to be protecting and serving. Monsters. 

[theaceofmanyhearts]

This has put me in tears. These were children going to see an animated movie about funny animals. Instead, they were attacked by police. This is sickening

[advanced-procrastination]

Impunable organized crime. That’s all the police are.

Kal El…. is literally Hebrew. It means Voice of God. He’s a Jewish illegal immigrant. For a reason. He was written in the 30s.

[aokayinspace]

I mean Superman was literally written as an allegory for first generation American Jews dealing with the struggle of assimilation vs maintaining traditional culture. The birth of Superman as a comic was essentially Jewish Immigrant history.

[siphersaysstuff]

Not all heroes wear capes, but a hell of a lot of supervillains hire uniformed thugs to terrorize innocent civilians.

[shakespeareanqueer]

I’m literally taking a class this coming semester on how the art forms of comics and graphic novels were founded on the IMMIGRANT and “outsider” experiences of JEWISH writers and artists.

[stainedglassruneycorn]

am i the only one who's not fooled by the hispanic looking woman in front.

" look we aint targetting latino immigrants! we have a hispanic looking person posing as an ICE employee"

[wsswatson]

Why is it always ‘queer people are projecting their identities onto characters’ and never ‘straight people are presuming that their identity is the default’?

[seriousflightrisk]

I COULD NOT REBLOG THIS FAST ENOUGH

[i-hate-chick-fil-a]

This is horrific. Why isn’t MSM covering these stories, 3 black trans women have been murdered!

[excalibelle]

The life expectancy for a trans woc is between 30-35. Less than half that for women in general. This is a crisis that needs to be fixed.
