I really do think an important component of activism is to make sure your motivation is based on a desire to help/improve things for the people being harmed by a system, and not hatred for the ones doing the harm. both for mental health reasons, and because either way you're training your neural pathways and it's gonna turn out a lot better for literally everyone if the question on everyone's mind after achieving a goal is "how/which people can we help next, what's the next step for improving things" and not "who do we need to attack next."

I'm not saying don't be angry, there are a lot of good reasons to be angry right now and it makes for an excellent kick in the pants, just don't define yourself by it or it's gonna poison you and potentially do collateral damage.

the easiest people to attack will always be whoever’s closest and whoever’s vulnerable.

if you’re training yourself to enjoy the thrill of righteous violence, your easiest, quickest joy is going to be from attacking someone in your peer group, not whoever’s actually got the social leverage to be oppressing you.

this is called lateral violence and is the absolute bane of activist circles everywhere.

there’s this term i coined in my friendgroup i call “the charizard effect” and it can apply to anything and everything, but it was born from me explaining my feelings about the pokemon charizard. the term is basically about how overexposure to something be it by corporate shilling or fandom prominence drives me away from really enjoying something bc i’m exposed to it so much against my will i become tired of it. it came to me bc i was ranting about how tpci does not, and cannot stop reinventing charizard, and how it is popular and obtusely included in almost every region, merch, etc in every way possible and it’s highly commodified.

i dont dislike the pokemon charizard, in fact i really like its X form, but i am exposed to so much charizard in my pokemon consumption that i cant be bothered to care for it in any more than in passing. this applies to a bunch of other stuff i’d otherwise be ok with, but i always just call this aversion phenomena “the charizard effect”

[blxnc]

making this term has done numbers for me being able to concisely express how i feel abt something. like. its not charizard’s fault i feel this way, im sure i’d feel normal abt it if it was stripped of all this over commodification, but i cannot. hence the name

I wanted to share some more of these, specifically trans women of color. The images I'm posting are from a project called To Survive On This Shore and it's an interview project. I am only posting a handful so it's so worth checking out!

This is Linda, 60

Alexis, 64

Helena, 63

Kendrah, 72 (!!)

Tasha, 65

It was deeply healing to me to discover this project. The site has selected photos and attached interviews and it's definitely worth your time. I didn't include any because the focus of this post imo is transfems but there are a lot of beautiful interviews with transmasc people too if you're interested! But that'll have to be another post 💖

Others have said it and I'm gonna say it too: This film is beautiful.

This movie is so colorful and it's like a breath of fresh air in today's "blockbuster" movie era where everything is dull, washed out, too dark, desaturated, or blue. The space scenes especially are full of warm colors and hues. Planet Adrian? fucking gorgeous. The STARS even have color, which is actually astronomically accurate thank you very much, stars are not all white, they range from red to orange to yellow to white to blue!! And you can SEE than in the space scenes!

Speaking of seeing, you can see every scene in this movie because it's actually well-lit because they're not trying to hide bad CGI. So much of the movie is actual real models and puppets and line work and practical effects! They don't want to hide it, they want you to see it!

And the LIGHT? Oh my god the role of light in this movie. It should be considered a character in its own right. There's a scene where Grace is looking for Rocky and the light literally guides him down the hall. Light is constantly moving and changing in this film within the same cut, it's absolutely incredible. Light is so IMPORTANT in this film. It's directional, it's dynamic, it changes colors, it's vibrant! So many modern films can't do that because of the CGI; they need flat, ambient, consistent lighting to make the modeling work easier. Not in this movie!!

"Carpets are useful for indoctrinating little boys into white supremacy.

And I'll explain that in a moment, once I get you started painting this one.

First, use lexion purple contrast paint or mix up something similar like I'm doing, and give the area a once over.

Then, grab some flow-aid and use that going forward in place of water. We're gonna mix warlord purple and then pink then white, making tiny little tics, getting lighter and lighter towards the edge.

Watch the demo. No blinking.

I'll know. I can hear it.

We were at a trade show, and my dad pointed out a small hand-stitched rug that was incredible.

He mentioned that people makes these kinds of things for kings and rich people.

But, they took so much time historically that they didn't get to be enjoyed by their makers. Or were doing it as slaves.

I looked pretty galled, I imagined. And my father reassured me that not everyone can afford incredible and beautiful things, so unless we want to live in a world without monuments and works of beauty. That, sometimes, just what has to happen.

I was comforted by this. And I didn't think, not for an instant, that I'd be the one stitching the rug.

No one challenged me to think what those people would be doing. What feats of art and science and human kindness they'd wrestle into the world if they had comfort, time, and space to do so on their own.

And my station as the one enjoying the rug, had always been implicit.

These moral justifications for expecting the fruit of wide authority aren't always intentional. But they bleed from one generation to the next.

They are poision at the root.

I held onto that comforting for a long time.

(Text appears on screen: not my mom tho, she rules, luv you mom)

If my dad didn't turn out to be the kind of person he was, driving me away, causing me to question everything, I wonder if I'd still be enjoying that comfort.

Content and unchallenged.

Passing ot along to my son.

My father, for all of his faults, was someone's little boy once.

And he was failed too."

the best part of the dsmp separating cs and ccs was we could criticize the actions of characters without having it reflect on the content creators, creating a unique type of genre defining minecraft roleplay community. the worst part of the dsmp separating cs and ccs was we couldn't criticize the writing of the characters through the lens of their content creators, because of the previously established rules, creating a unique type of genre specific media illiteracy

[qcharlie]

nobody was doing it like the dsmp man. if i talked about the clear child abuse and grooming themes within discduo's storyline I'd get confused people asking if dreamwastaken did that in real life, and all posts discussing heavier topics required c! or cc! distinctions in front of them. we had to separate them to stop people from saying we're calling the real people victims or abusers. if i talked about the failure of c!techno as a proper anarchist character probably stemming from cc!techno's misinterpretation of the belief system id get death threats. you gotta separate the characters from the creators man! they're seperate entities entirely that could never influence each other!!! like entirely genre specific type of thinking that I've never encountered before it's amazing. and i can see it spread to other indie story projects online. you can never imply that the author is bad for something the character did, obviously, but you can of course never say that the character did something because the author might've made them. it's so strange Literally NOBODY DOES IT LIKE THE DSMP

Why do so many posts about "punk" on here lowkey sound like "punk is when cuddles and kittens. Not punk is when fuck and penis"

[mariasklodowskastwixbar]

Im still getting likes on this and the occasional rb so I wanted to elaborate. I don't think that the "real punk" attitude would be to just flip the above around. You can be a punk and like kittens and cuddles and dislike sex. You can be a punk and like sex but dislike kittens and cuddles. Because punk isn't stored in your off topic likes or dislikes, it's stored in the music and the community. I listen to a lot of punk music but like very non stereotypical punk things, that does not mean that every interest of mine is punk, or that I'm suddenly not a punk because I have other interests. Not everything I like has to be punk just because I'm apart of the subculture. Warrior Cats, Leverage, Animal Jam, Fallout, Spy x Family, Breath of the Wild, The Librarians, none of that is fucking punk!!! They're books and shows and video games that have nothing to do with the subculture because not all of my interests have to revolve around the music I like or where I like to go to hang out or who my friends are!!!!

[hungry-skeleton]

Asexuals were always part of pride and it really fucking shows when people think it's a recent term.

[hungry-skeleton]

Although not going by the term "asexual" yet, asexuality was spoken about alongside homosexuality as far back as the 1890s. Asexual history is just as vital to queer history as any other term and I'm so tired of watching us being treated like a new thing
