"Disabled " is a neutral descriptor at worst. It just means we can't do some things the way other people can, or at all. It's not an insult, and it doesn't mean we're lesser.

Disabled culture is beautiful and wonderful. Disabled people are beautiful and wonderful. We and our worlds are not a misfortune or a consolation prize.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

I’ve said it before, and I will say it again.

If you want Roe v Wade overturned, but don’t support:

Comprehensive sexual education in schools

Easy and affordable access to contraception

Access to adequate and affordable prenatal care

Paid parental leave

Subsidized childcare

CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program)

WIC,

Then you don’t actually care about reducing abortions or protecting children. You just want to punish people with uteruses for having sex.

Can we please appreciate the Heartstopper soundtrack and it's inclusion of queer artists?? Please??

[strangeauthor]

y’all are actually watching eurovision huh. smh

[strangeauthor]

if i say something now…

[iibislintu]

there was this guy from around Palestine or thereabouts who apparently said, ”let him who is without sin, cast the first stone”, maybe you’ve heard about him

and like

when you only watch 100% unproblematic countries media, go on, then you can say stuff like this

(spoiler alert: it doesn’t exist)

if palestine was the only oppressed people in the world then possibly this would make sense but like

you know what?

there’s a ton of people who are oppressed 24/7 and find a bit of fun & comfort in this stupid [affectionate] song contest

them not watching eurovision will

do

absolutely

nothing

to help anyone.

no palestinian will know if someone bravely didn’t watch it.

0 people will know.

also the nerve of some people. the country i live in treats its indigenous people like shit. killed off at least one of the peoples by the way (my people). do we see any banners with ”boycott ESC bc Finland takes part?”

and Britain. did you read about how they treat trans people in there? or poor people? or [insert adjective] people? yet no ”boycott ESC bc Britain” banners.

and like. Poland. Sweden. France. i could on but like

the thing is.

the thing is.

the thing is,

yes the oppression of Palestinians but like,

if you start boycotting ONE country because the way it treats people - BOY are you in for a surprise when you learn more about the world

bc then you’d better be consistent in your boycotts and you know what,

the list of NON-boycottable countries will

be

short.

Christians hate when a gay man goes “fuck it, I’ll gladly go to Hell if you want me to so bad” because it takes the edge away from their tools of fear. If they can’t scare you with threats of eternal damnation then one of their main weapons is taken away.

“You’re supposed to fear your father/parents” this isn’t the first time I’ve seen someone say that someone told them this in the tags. Christianity as an institution is one of the biggest shelters for abusers out there and this shit right here is how they do it.

one of the first things i learned in a fucking summer vacation theater camp for kids was about how to emote on stage. the counselor wrote “LOVE” on the board and asked the class if anyone knew what the opposite of love was. naturally the whole class responds with “HATE”

he said we were all wrong and wrote “FEAR” on the board.

fear does not equal love. fear does not equal respect. fear will never be part of a healthy relationship with anyone or anything and if fear is being used against you in the name of love then thats a huge red flag if ive ever seen one

Honestly, one of the most messed up things was 9 year old me crying and praying because I thought I was going to burn in hell. I was 9. Scared that I had done something so bad that I’d be cast into a pit of fire.

And being taught that this was a form of love.

No, my dear. That’s abuse.
