I can only assume it's a matter of time until I make a kinda badly-phrased/vague comment on a political post and someone will look up my blog to figure out what I meant, so I'm just gonna clear this up now just in case.

FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸 I regularly protest for Palestinian liberation in Haifa. PEPs are pro-colonialism, anti-zionism is not antisemetism, nothing you may believe about Palestinian culture excuses colonialism or genocide.

I'm a feminist, not a terf. I don't tolerate feminism-appropriateing reactionary transphobia, white feminism, militarist feminism, "Girl-Power" feminism or "if you ever imply sex work is a product of patriarchy, rape culture or capitalism you're a SWERF" mindset.

I'm vegan. Save the long-refuted arguments about veganism being "un-woke" that allegedly excuse supporting animal agriculture industries.

I'm queer and GNC. My blog is a safe space for fellow queer, GSRM and GNC people. No gatekeeping. Tumblr slur discourse is meaningless to me.

I do not tolerate americanocentric propaganda, neither about the USA undemocratic two-party system, the "middle east" aka SWANA (which I'm from) or anything else.

I'm neurodivergent. My blog is a safe space for fellow neurodivergent (self diangosed included) and otherwise physically or mentally disabled people.

I'm an anarcho-communist. I believe in opressed people's right for national self-determination. I also aspire for a world that doesn't require it. The vast majority of the world's problems are rooted in capitalism and colonialism (which are inseparable) and we're all in this shit together against the ruling class. I haven't read much of the Marxist menifest (YET) but I do agree with what I know of it.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask me anything about my political opinions and experience, as long as it's a genuine question for the sake of education/getting to know me and not just troll harassment.

Just got told to kill myself for (checks notes) saying that talking about Argentina's nazi history isn't contradictory to talking about the USA's nazi history

not to be like that but misgendering is still misgendering even if you think you know someone’s gender better than they do. because that’s the basis of literally all misgendering you don’t get a special pass because you’re Transing Them

If the woman that JK rowling posted an upskirt photo of had been a cis woman snopes wouldn't have said this was "mixed" and you know it.

[vexatiousvic]

Not that it was necessary, but I looked up definitions, and yeah, obviously "taking a photo under someone's skirt" is literally it. Fuck Snopes so fucking hard. I need them to explain to me how it doesn't fit the definition to a fucking t:

And what the FUCK do they mean, "public setting"?? Yeah, upskirts are mistly taken in public fucking settings! That's not an eycuse, that's part of the fucking issue

[pagliacci2]

And truly what do they mean it was in public? Does that mean that the upskirt photos people take on subways dont count because other people are around? OF COURSE IT WAS IN PUBLIC THATS HOW THE PHOTO GOT TAKEN IF SHE HAD BEEN PHOTOGRAPHED AT HOME IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BREAKING AND ENTERING

i think this is the funniest possible image that could be used to illustrate this subject

[girlnextvore]

[petite-guignol]

OK FUN FACT i also thought this picture was hilarious when i encountered it a few months ago, so i was curious how it ended up on wikipedia

it turns out the uploader is in fact the woman in the photo (she's uploaded a few other pictures of herself to other articles) and she ran an extremely web 1.0 site on the topic of bondage

this was apparently a long-standing fantasy of hers and she in fact did an entire video plus accompanying photoshoot about it, which was run in a bondage magazine in the 90s and did in fact take place on an abandoned train track. they committed to the bit hard enough that there's even a shot of the sinister villain looming over her with a big document labeled DEED and a pen

the best part is that according to this page, there were two "villains" involved (the woman's two partners, apparently), and the other one was dressed as a gorilla. sadly there are no images of the gorilla kidnapper because that sounds like. even funnier.

anyway i thought this whole thing was kinda cute, lol

The biggest bullshit with Adultism is basically that the people will defend it with: "Well, if we did not force X on kids, kids would not do it, because they hate X."

And then you actually look onto the research.

Kids do not generally hate learning or school. Quite the opposite. Children tend to enjoy learning and are naturally curious. It is exactly the fact that they are forced into school and into the rigid structure of it that often punishes curiosity but also is hostile towards the differences inherent in people, that kids hate it.

Kids do not naturally hate medical care. While medical care is scary at times, the fear usually comes from medical care scenarios being defined by adults overriding a child's agency, not explaining things to him, and otherwise being abusive, that makes children afraid of medical procedures. Additionally the way a lot of medical procedures go hand in hand with denying a child's reality ("Look, it is not that bad") tends to be traumatizing to children.

There have been studies done in this. If you explain a child - even a toddler - what you do and why, children will generally be a lot more okay with stuff like needles and simple procedures, and will even agree to necessary surgical interventions.

If you create a learning environment that allows more for self-directed learning, and involves less specific testing, most kids actually will enjoy learning.

The way kids hate school, and are afraid of doctors is the result of those interactions being associated with violence and coercion. The hatred is because of the coercion, rather than the hatred making the coercion necessary.

a lot of 'don't get a pet unless you can afford xyz' and not enough 'don't get a pet if you can't imagine euthanizing it'

[fjordfolk]

a little while ago i had a conversation with someone on here that suggested livestock have better welfare security than the general pet population, because at least they get euthanized when their health falls below function. which is a very uncomfortable thought, but i can get there.

[fjordfolk]

also idk who needs to hear this but it is. ok. allowed. fair even. to euthanize a pet before it collapses and/or is in acute distress.

my boyfriend had to euthanize his cat last year. it was one of the hardest things he's ever had to do. he still grieves him. they were so bonded. he had to take his cat to the vet when he suddenly got very sick, and we learned it was a type of cancer that was difficult and expensive to treat (IIRC). it was caught before it got really bad but really bad was all that was coming.

it sucked. it sucked so much. but letting that cat go was the biggest act of love he could have given. it spared him a much more painful, wasting death.

euthanasia is not a happy thing but it can absolutely be an act of true love and don't let anyone tell you different
