how to cover letter:

polite greeting (it's me, boy)

introduction (i'm the ps5)

establish credentials (speaking to you inside your brain)

establish purpose (leave the girl, we don't need her)

describe what you can bring to the organization (cowboy times in space)

Never go to Baltimore that place radiates an evil energy that turns trans girls evil iykyk

[daughter-of-sapph0]

please explain how im evil?

[evil-siphonophore]

I can't explain it but I've met many trans people from many different states and for some reason specifically every trans woman I've known well who's from Maryland or more specifically the Baltimore area is just kinda evil and terrible to the people closest to them. I don't know why. I think it has something to do with the air down there. If you live in/near Baltimore I'm conflicted whether to tell you to get out of there as fast as possible so you don't absorb more of the evil, or to stay there so you don't inflict the evil onto the queer and trans communities of other states. I think what you gotta do is get the fuck outta there as fast as possible but then don't date anyone for like, 5 years. Until the evil is drained out of you. To be clear the evil isn't because you're a trans woman, it's because you're from Baltimore.

[daughter-of-sapph0]

your definition of "evil" is vibes based and makes no sense. you're generalizing and labeling an entire demographic of people for nothing other than where they live. and given Baltimore is predominantly Black, i cant help but feel this is racist.

[daughter-of-sapph0]

okay everyone, you don't have to dis on other cities or call trans women from other places evil. in fact i would suggest not doing that. labeling any demographic or population as evil is really shitty

[daughter-of-sapph0]

this is why yall are banned from visiting Baltimore

[strawhatsufi]

you don't say

[maid-chevalier]

Not only is Baltimore predominantly Black, it is also, correspondingly, a longtime hub for radical politics and organizing in Maryland and the wider (speaking from the Deep South) North.

Baltimore had the largest free Black population before the Civil War, being a political hub for abolitionists and their cross-Dixon line resistance. One of my favorite stories from this period is that of Maryland’s own abolition: during the Civil War, Maryland fought for the Union, and yet maintained slavery. After the General Strike of Enslaved Persons which won the war for the North, Maryland held an open, state-wide vote on whether to maintain slavery. It looked like slavery would win and be maintained until the absentee ballots of Maryland’s soldiers, fighting shoulder to shoulder with formerly enslaved black persons in the South, arrived. They, to a man, voted to abolish slavery, a core example of how being in struggle as one builds consciousness even across the color line.

Baltimore also has a rich, rich history of organized labor, and especially black labor. Dockworkers, longshoremen, industrial workers, and more. Baltimore’s fighting labor politics, begun with abolition, continued well into the late 19th and 20th centuries, even into today.

In 2015 Baltimore had an uprising against racism following the racist murder of Freddie Gray by police. It was also a massive point of organizing for the 2020 uprisings against racism and the BLM movement.

Baltimore is also one of the leading cities for the grassroots, community led violence interruptors program, which empowers disenfranchised (especially black) working communities to take charge of their own violence prevention, rather than call on the police. It has worked tremendously, and is a model for more widespread programs, even as their funding is cut.

Baltimore is a kickass city, the northernmost city of the Black Belt, and a real hub of longtime radical politic. Shoutout my sisters, siblings, and brothers in Bmore.

so there's a natural order to this world and we need atleast four million mans in boots with armor, vehicles, and firearms to enforce it, otherwise something unnatural might happen

[dramatic-dolphin]

people are so fucking weird about uncontacted tribes/peoples oh my goddddd you are not making it out of the colonialist mindset

[dramatic-dolphin]

fun fact uncontacted peoples are not ignorant they are fully aware of the "outside world" and are CHOOSING not to have contact because they (rightly) feel it would add no value to their lives and place them in an exploited position. it's voluntary. they are isolated on purpose.

[dramatic-dolphin]

sentinelese people aren't like some ignorant noble savages, or actual savages who are all about warfare and killing (wildly racist take i see very often), they are literally regular ass fucking people who have seen the exploitation of their neighbors (other andamanese people) AND the massive disease outbreaks caused by contact, and decided they want no part in that. they are literally regular people choosing to survive. that's it.

[standwithdaanes]

Good resource to start learning about uncontacted peoples:

Uncontacted Peoples: at the edge of survival

There are at least 196 uncontacted Indigenous groups living in forests across the globe. Right now, more than 95 percent of uncontacted peop

[standwithdaanes]

For those in the notes arguing about whether "uncontacted" is the correct term; whether or not it seems the most accurate, it's the term that is being used. "Uncontacted" just means they reject contact with non-Indigenous society, not that they are isolated from all other people or don't know it exists or have never spoken to a white person before. From the link above:

Uncontacted Indigenous peoples reject contact with outsiders, as an active and ongoing choice. Survival International has calculated that there are 196 uncontacted groups worldwide; some of these are entire peoples who are uncontacted – such as the Sentinelese in India. Some uncontacted groups – such as the Ayoreo Totobiegosode in the Paraguayan Chaco or the Amahuaca in Peru – are sub-groups of bigger tribes with whom they share a language and often a territory. All are aware of the outside world, and reject it. They are self-sufficient and resilient. They live independently in forests, sometimes on islands. They resist intrusion, and thrive when their rights are respected. Uncontacted peoples may encounter outsiders sporadically, or not at all. They are aware of neighboring Indigenous peoples, who may be closely or distantly related. The uncontacted Hongana Manyawa in Indonesia have family members who have left the forest, mostly under duress. The uncontacted Pirititi occasionally encounter their contacted Kinja neighbors in the Brazilian Amazon. The Massaco, also in Brazil, were for decades known only by traces in the forest, including booby traps sharpened with rodents' teeth and placed on their hunting trails to warn off outsiders. Uncontacted peoples’ rejection of contact is often rooted in memories of devastating past contact and invasion, which brought violence, epidemics and death. Their denial of contact is a clear expression of their autonomy and self-determination.

At that link you can also check out "Voices from the Edge" which is a collection of interviews mostly with Indigenous people who have been forcibly contacted and whose relatives are still uncontacted.

Isn’t it kind of fun how when your life sucks you just can’t talk about it with anyone

[ace-disgrace-on-the-case]

I’m serious though. When your life reaches a degree of suckage, you find yourself having to look elsewhere for anything at all to talk about. The things going on in your life are trauma dumping. Your past is probably also trauma dumping. So you have to get really weird about specific things or hope that others want to talk to you, because very quickly people are going to develop an aversion to you and the way your life sucks. Unless you just don’t talk about it

[ace-disgrace-on-the-case]

It’s socially isolating, which is dangerous—when you’re in this sort of situation, community is the difference between life and death, housing and homelessness.

I think the collective prioritization of comfort first is hurting people in a real and material sense

[circusheart]

I do think the post that's like "when they torture you to insanity and then torture you for being insane 😂🤣" is one of the most succinct and foundational analyses of interpersonal violence and conflict that had ever been written

link to article

[utopians]

the avatar movies are crazy bc "what if colonizers literally inhabited and puppeteered the bodies of indigenous peoples in order to exploit their homeland" sounds like the premise of some sort of anticolonial horror film, like specifically the kind of thing that would be commenting on self-indigenization among white settlers, but because it's James Cameron his whole takeaway from that premise is "it would be preddy cool"

[utopians]

actually sorry. the takeaway is also "the white settler possessing an indigenous body would actually be extremely good, perhaps even The Best, at being indigenous, and he would become their Leader"

Ok like. Imagine life without ads. You wake up, check your messages across a variety of apps, no ads. You get up and put on the tv while you prep your breakfast, no ads. Maybe you drive somewhere and switch on the radio, no ads. Maybe you drive a long distance, yet somehow, not a single billboard on your path. You pick up a newspaper or magazine to pass the time, no advertisements only articles. You turn on your game console, the home screen is just about your games, no ads to buy more. You open a streaming app, you don't pay extra for no ads, there's just no ads ever.

Think about how much of your time is spent looking at ads. "Download ublock" yeah I know, I have. But that doesn't change that the world is covered with endless advertising. Imagine never seeing that again. How much better our lives would be.
