Fuck Joanne

[hjellacott]

You are so fucking stupid it's ridiculous lol. Anyway long live Queen Jo.

[metalheadsagainstfascism]

You can keep sucking Joanne's cock. She still will not pick you.

[fantasticwolfpenguin]

and if you read one of those books (which i did as a teen) you’d find out she has some interesting word choices that make me puke inside

[metalheadsagainstfascism]

Man. You took one for the team. I couldn't get through Harry Potter because for a self proclaimed "feminist" that was apparently "so oppressed" she had to use her initials instead of her very feminine first name Joanne. She's actually very terrible at writing women.

Picture this. Only 4 books are published. The 5th is about to be published. I finally let someone bully me into buying the first four in a box set. I can't even get through the first book because "Isn't this a coed school? Why is Hermione like? The only girl going there?"

Apparently it doesn't get better either. In later books when they fix their "token girl character" problem it seems like ALL OF THE GIRLS in the story cannot exist without being attached to a man, and most of their defining personality traits are their relationship to one of the male leads.

I cannot.

For a feminist she writes women remarkably bad.

[coolestglalie-intoxicatedinkeep]

Not even her real initials, she adds a k so it sounds more masculine

[metalheadsagainstfascism]

JK Rowling.

Because she's a joke

Like "oh jk just kidding. I'm not a real author just like I'm not a real feminist"

[aturnersyndromefeminist]

Look at these two ignorant rape culture supporting Misogynists and homophobes spouting rape culture

And they show they support a culture of male sexual violence , Misogyny and homophobia. Their disturbed postings show they hate women who have survived male violence who name the issue

And they all need their hard drives checking

[telebisou]

Trying to sell racist misogyny by championing the billionaire.

I'd encourage you to explore shame but what would be the point? You're a danger to women. Explore nonexistence.

Every day I handle more money than I will ever make. Every day.

At the start of my employment, my boss showed me videos of people stealing, and we both had a chuckle about it. How silly they were! There was a camera overhead, and it’s not to watch the shoppers. See, we can’t actually stop shoplifters. They get away with it maybe nine out of ten times. But we, who are watched and tallied and witnessed? We are always caught.

At first it was hard to hold one hundred dollars bills. An amount I had never seen before. An amount that didn’t exist in my household. It’s normal now. Here is something that is not for me.

“What the hell, I’ll take another,” says the man, pondering our 200 dollar watches. What the hell. Total comes to 580 and not even a flinch in his face. I have been working for 11 hours today and made only 110 dollars. It will go to my rent. Today I work for free, it feels. When I get my check, I will have 35 dollars left for food and saving.

The six hundreds he hands me go into the cash register. For a moment, I imagine having money. Then I put it away, counting out his change.

I know for a fact we sell our products for double what they are worth. That I could be making commission. That they could hand me those 580 dollars and change my life and not even mark the difference in their checkbooks. He’s not the only sale they make today, but I am the reason they made it. He’s not the only one spending 600 dollars, but if I hadn’t spent two hours with him telling me about his life, he wouldn’t have spent any. I go home. I don’t own a watch.

I have watched and rewatched a video on how to make salmon four ways. My shopping list is always the same. Pasta. Rice. Tuna. If I can afford butter it was a good week. I dream of the world I will never walk in, where I can throw the best fish fillet in the cart with a shrug. I hold hundreds in my hand and look up at the camera. I put them under the cash drawer.

I go to work. I scrap together my savings. I eat my bowl of rice slowly. My manager takes a paid week off from work just for his birthday. He owns a yacht. 

I’m not worth the cost of a watch.

i wrote this while i was working at orlando’s walt disney world parks.

i was part of their college program. i moved to the state for it. they legally owned the building i was living in and still charged me rent. i ostensibly was being charged to work for them. it was a 2 bedroom apartment and they placed 6 adult women in it in forced triples.

as many as one in ten disney employees have experienced homelessness while working for the company. despite huge efforts to unionize, strike, or otherwise demand fair treatment; disney has refused to increase employee quality of life.

disney admits publicly that a good portion of their success is because the employees (“cast members”) are dedicated, passionate, and selfless. this is never reflected in pay. even “face” characters (ie those that are princesses etc) make barely above a minimum wage.

at the time that i worked there, i made $8.50 an hour. at one point i was asked to create a human shield around a bag because a bomb dog had alerted to it. for eight fucking dollars an hour.

i now work a very cushy office job. i have bought the salmon and cooked it all four ways.

i go to the store. i am nice to the person behind the counter. she looks up at the camera while she counts out my change. there is nothing fundamentally different about her and i.

we are both worth more than the watch, anyway.

George Tiller was murdered 13 years ago today (May 31 2022)

People noting this anniversary reminding me again that it is such an insane failure of the pro-choice movement that we do not as a nation think of George Tiller as a civil rights hero and additionally a martyr at the level of MLK Jr. or a Kennedy. So, you know, do your part, etc.

2 Black Women Refused C-Sections. Judges Decided For Them. | BIN: Black Information Network

At least two Black women in Florida were forced into courtroom-style hearings while in labor after refusing cesarean sections, with judges b

this is fucking insane. two different cases in Florida where pregnant Black women were forced into video call court proceedings, in the middle of labor, laying in their hospital beds, because their doctors chose to go after them for refusing cesarean sections.

the first woman was able to convince them to let her continue laboring unless it became medically necessary, and ultimately chose to go through with the C-section of her own accord later.

the second woman was completely denied autonomy and the C-section was performed against her will.

the white man who prosecuted them defends the decision, stating on the record "I'm real comfortable with what we did here. I hate that she's upset about it."

[genderoutlaws]

the two women mentioned here, Cherise and Brianna, are calling on supporters to sign their petition to these two hospitals to:

"Stop forcing pregnant people to have cesarean births.

Take all necessary steps to end discriminatory policies and practices based on sex, gender, pregnancy status, and race.

Discipline the doctors and hospital staff who ignored Doyley and Bennett’s concerns and coerced them to undergo a court-ordered C-section against their will.

Publicly acknowledge and provide financial relief for the harm UF Health caused to the Doyley family and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare inflicted on the Bennett family."

Cherise Doyley was 12 hours into labor at University of Florida Health (UF Health) Jacksonville when a nurse walked in with a bedsheet and t

You can keep up with Cherise on her Instagram page here, where she is posting updates and generally about being a survivor, doula, and birth justice activist.

[adrenaline-revolver]

This is actually the reason she was Cherise was forced to have one. She had had three c-sections in the past and it was determined after 12 hours that she might need to have another.

Brianna also had a prior c-section and was in labor for 24 hours before being forced to have one.

To put it bluntly it’s a question of who has more rights, the mom or the fetus and where do the rights of each begin and end.

Let’s say there’s a woman who needs a c-section or the baby will very likely die. In a state where the mom has more rights then she can be told this and essentially wave away her right to sue the hospital over the baby’s death by refusing the c-section and going with a natural birth anyway. It would be traumatic for all involved but it would be her choice.

In a state where the fetus has more rights then if determined that there’s a risk then she can be forced to undergo the surgery.

They Didn’t Want to Have C-Sections. A Judge Would Decide How They Gave Birth.

Two Florida women had to attend virtual court hearings while in labor to argue for their right to choose their own medical care. As their st

In this article it talks about other women who have undergone the same thing and the states that have forced it are Iowa and Georgia.

one reason why I'd prefer it if perisex people would just shut up about intersex people is the extremely ignorant takes they come up with. 'intersex cis women are privileged over trans women, because they're treated like women' is a real take that I've been exposed to. this is why perisex people shouldn't ever be taken seriously when it comes to intersex people, because a lot of them genuinely think like this and they have no idea what they're talking about.

if you knew even a little bit about how the average intersex woman is treated, you would not think that they are more likely to be treated like 'normal' women or protected by society. it's time to actually listen to intersex people instead of talking over us.

[intersexfairy]

we're treated like trash. viciously. if its ok w you OP, i wanna just share a story for the people who dont understand how serious this actually is. but um. TW for intersexism & violence:

my mother has the same intersex variation as me (its genetic). she'd tell me these stories when i'd come home crying saying the girls and boys at school were being cruel to me. she'd tell me it was them who was wrong. because:

when my mother was a girl, she was bullied horrendously - emotionally and physically. they would follow her down the halls. they called her names. said she looked like a boy, that she wasn't a real girl. they'd corner her in the halls and beat her up. then they'd force her to fight other bullied kids. groups of students would watch. she won a few. but she never wanted to fight or hurt anyone.

she was an intersex girl who didnt pass as a girl, so she was assaulted for it and treated like a dog. she started performing femininity to protect herself. its only within the past few years she's decided to express herself more casually and cut her hair again.

ive talked about this on tumblr before but im gonna keep sharing it because. the violence and hatred we face is real and just as dangerous.

anyone who thinks intersex people arent targeted like this doesnt fucking understand at all and im so so tired of it.

Valve Remains Silent As Racist Plantation Sim Game Trolls Everyone

Steam guidelines claim to ban 'content that is patently offensive or intended to shock or disgust viewers'

Plantation Simulator was, I am sorry to tell you, exactly what it sounded like when it launched. It’s a top-down sim game in which you play as a Southern plantation owner forcing a number of Black slaves to grow crops under threat of being beaten. That’s it. That was the game. The game had an actual mature content description appended to it from launch until roughly midday yesterday that read, verbatim: “In this game, you will be whipping black people to keep your farm productive. If you whip your black person too much, they will die.”

...Posted later in the day yesterday, the 1.2 update changed the Black slave characters in the game to white people. A further update not long after changed the whipping animation to a string of hearts, put bikinis on the slave characters, and updated the mature content description to, “In this game, your friends wear bikinis and you can give them little kissies.” Since that update, the user reviews have entirely flip-flopped, with a cascade of negative reviews complaining now about a lack of diversity and a deceptive product. Again, most of these reviews have an hour or less playtime, and basically all of them include racist remarks.

....What’s really baffling here, though, isn’t that some troll is making racist games to both attract and then troll racist people. No, what’s throwing me is: where is Valve in any of this?

Nah, antiblackness in media is so teehee funny and not that serious though!! Just trolling!! Jokes aren't real racism!! It's just indie!!

[rosey-thorns]

being asexual in transfem spaces is so hard because our communities are built around being a specific kind of hypersexual kinky (white) girl and like

okay so tme people will get mad at me for not being sexually available to them and then when i go to transfems they find me incredibly weird for me to not want them to be outwardly sexual towards me

transfeminity is treated as automatic consent for sexual advance by literally everyone and i'm sick of it

[victusinveritas]

CeCe Rogers on Facebook writes: "Two Black Tennessee lawmakers were physically escorted out of chambers this week while Republicans quietly held a hearing to approve gerrymandered maps that would eliminate the state's only majority-Black congressional district.

No referendum. No special election. No public vote.

Because they know what happens when voters actually get a say — just look at Virginia, where the people spoke so loudly that Republicans had to drag the courts in to override them.

This isn't new. During Reconstruction, Black Americans held more congressional seats than at any point in the prior 90 years of American history. And white supremacists spent the next several decades tearing that down, through gerrymandering, poll taxes, and voter intimidation.

150 years later, the same tools. Different suits.

The audacity of escorting Black lawmakers out of their own chambers while dismantling Black political representation, and then telling us the courts aren't political, is breathtaking. These are the same courts they're counting on to make it stick.

This is a coordinated, multi-front assault on Black Americans. And we need to say it exactly that plainly."
