currently procrastinating hair wash day…….

We have got to stop framing our oppression in ways that promote the idea that other people cannot relate to our struggles. Not only does it isolate comrades in the struggle, it actively diminishes recognition of other struggles--often including those even more horrific than what we are at risk of. And this happens especially between Gay and Black struggles.

"when have straight people ever had to check what states were safe for them?" Sundown towns are still a thing. Starlight tours. What states have abortion access? What states have open carry? What states have stand your ground? What states have 3-strike rules? Women, people of color, disabled people, immigrants, and more have had to be abundantly cautious where they travel to. Straight trans people have much more travel risk right now than gay cis people.

It's a new iteration of the same tired question: "imagine if straight people weren't allowed to marry" interracial marriage in the US is younger than my parents. We disgrace people of color by forgetting their history and contemporary struggles, and we abandon queer people of color, Black queer people, by segmenting their overlapping fights.

As lovelyshananigans says, "intersectionality, babes"

Something I think people learning to draw black characters or just generally any nonblack artist should really think about is like, do you engage with Black artists? Like outside of looking at their tutorials and tips, do you follow black artists? Do you look at, and study their style and the way they draw black characters? I think thats a really important aspect for nonblack artists, you can say x y z, but are you like actually engaging with black art especially outside of the public eye? This of course goes for any artform but i here was specifically talking about art in the sense of painting, drawing, animation, etc.

Just discovered it’s National Schizophrenia Awareness Day!!

I have that!

So! Here’s some awareness from yours truly!!

We are people just like you

We are statistically more likely to be harmed than to do harm

Not all of us are overt, there’s a good chance you have talked to and maybe even been friends with a schizophrenic without knowing!

There’s more schizophrenia spectrum disorders than just schizophrenia, such as schizoaffective personality disorder

“Schizo” is considered an offensive term by many schizophrenics and some even consider it a slur against us, if you aren’t schizospec yourself please try to avoid using it (as well as “psycho” for psychosis!)

Similarly, the recently common “quirky” online phrases “delulu”, “schizoposting”, “I’m so delusional” (without actually having a delusion), etc are also very offensive! We aren’t a joke!

Not all of us hallucinate or have delusions. There’s more symptoms than just those 2 and the schizophrenia diagnostic criteria doesn’t even necessarily require either of them to be present

We can sometimes know we’re having a delusion while still experiencing the delusion, it’s called double bookkeeping

We deserve rights and bodily autonomy (that includes to not be forcefully drugged and locked up without our consent!!!)

We are people just like you

anon hater just accused me of (among other things) "encouraging kids to install malware on their parents' computers". I don't remember ever doing that but it sounded like a fun concept for a post so here are some ideas for things to install on your parents' computers!

a custom DNS resolver that blocks access to Fox News and other right-wing propaganda outlets

a keylogger to capture the admin password for your router so you can disable parental controls

a VPN or a virtual machine running the Tor browser to bypass access restrictions and age verification checks

your own "parental controls" browser extension, set up to send you notifications if your parents visit websites that indicate they might be spying on you (e.g. Life360)

a userscript that adds a fake virus warning popup to the donation pages of fascist political parties

have fun! make sure to do loads of reading and learn how things work so you can break them safely and effectively!

oh, and anon, my advice to you is never stab a man who collects knives

"if men could get pregnant-" they can. "if men got periods-" they do. "men never experience-" they do. "men would never understand-" i promise you whatever you are about to say there are men who go through the exact same thing

My fellow goths need to STOP associating gothness with pale skin RIGHT NOW. Goths can be brown, goths can be Black, and goths can be dark-skinned. Acknowledge this, respect this, and make goth spaces inclusive of brown and dark-skinned people or die by my sword 🤺

[mariasklodowskastwixbar]

Can i add that emos need to do the same?

[wiisagi-maiingan]

YES. THIS APPLIES TO EMO AND SCENE COMMUNITIES TOO.

I haven't seen this version anywhere so I made one!

This flag is pissing off TERFs of course but i am seeing so much colorful JOY from trans lesbians and other lesbians in the notes like I've never seen a set of tags so happy before omg

[butchcockweilder-deactivated202]

everyone should reblog the bipoc transbian flag. It should be law.

What helped me write trauma better is remembering that the nervous system learns predictions. If danger used to come after quiet, calm can feel threatening. If kindness used to come with a price, kindness can feel suspicious. So healing is not just “they know they’re safe now.” Healing is the slow, annoying, deeply unfair process of teaching the body that the old prediction is not always the present truth.

[alpaca-clouds]

Two things can be true at once.

Children deserve to be seen as autonomous human persons who deserve rights, and us treating them as lesser to defend some fantasy of "childlike innocence" is a bad thing.

But at the same time it is also a bad thing that this presumption of childlike innocence does stop in the moment in which a child has dark skin. The way dark-skinned, and especially Black children get adultified, and criminalized is bad, and has often lead to their deaths.

imagine a goat with a hat

STOP-

what hat did you give the goat what is the instinctual hat you gave to this goat

Shit, the way things are going, racial slurs, racist jokes, and the N word have become socially acceptable too. The bar, already in hell, has gone lower and still!

[my-autism-feeds-on-robins]

White queers, we need to unlearn our racism. No, trans women are not the black people of the trans community. Black trans people are the black people of the trans community. PLEASE. Unlearn your racism.

actually I love black women who show off how successful they are. I love black women who indulge in luxurious things. I love black women who are proud of their sexuality.

You mfs hate it when black women are successful or proud of themselves. They’re either too sexual or too aggressive to yall. And once they get success you’re mad. When white girls do it all the fucking time. When white girls get to be dainty when black girls are watered down to being only baddies and sassy. Because they’re too dramatic or they’re too masculine or they’re too aggressive

it also truly shows when yall then go to them because you’re so used to black women serving you. You’re used to being on a pedestal. You pretend to be a savior and say “I’m white but” and then get mad when she tells you to shut up. Black women should get to be loud, they deserve to be dramatic and heard.

So in short, black women deserve success. Black women deserve to be sexual. (If they wish!) Black women deserve to be luxurious. They deserve to be educated and proud. They deserve to be women.
