no laws can ever get rid of trans people. that is not possible. we are not waiting for trans people to win the war against transphobic legislators. we are waiting for transphobic legislators to realise that they have already lost.

to be clear virtue signaling is bad when you only care about the signal and not the virtue. if someone advertised themself as a person who cares about protecting kittens from the torment nexus for the social benefit of appearing like a caring person, but doesn't actually do anything to protect kittens from the torment nexus or even actively assists in feeding kittens to the torment nexus, that is bad. but if a person says "I want to protect kittens from the torment nexus" and actually does do that then that's not bad. it's not "virtue signaling" if they actually practice that virtue and it's a good virtue to practice. why in the world would you get mad at people for being nice and being open about being nice.
ironically, if you think that the reason virtue signaling is bad is because people shouldn't be open or advertise their moral positions (whether that's "because that should just be assumed!" or whatever other reason), you are actually doing the exact same thing that makes virtue signaling harmful. your sense of ethics is focused on the aesthetics and performances of moral stances far more than their actual impact on the world, which makes your morality very shallow and prone to distraction. there is no cheat code to being a good person!

Man accused in killing of Brian Thompson will not face state charges of first- and second-degree murder but will still face other charges
Luigi Mangione scored a major legal victory on Tuesday with a judge dismissing the two top state charges against him: first-degree murder and second-degree murder, both of which prosecutors had argued were terrorism crimes.
Mangione still faces an additional second-degree murder charge, as well as a federal murder charge, in the killing of United HealthCare executive Brian Thompson last December.
The judge overseeing Mangione’s state criminal case, Gregory Carro, said “the evidence put forth was legally insufficient” for the two terrorism-related charges, in a written decision that was posted during a 15-minute proceeding in Manhattan court on Tuesday.

I miss when I would get Tumblr asks that actually said things and weren't just digital panhandling scams.
If I was a sociologist, I would definitely be doing a study on the methods and language of charity scammers. Especially the use of emojis, and identification by copied messages vs stock phrases.
For example, these four are all the same, with only slight variation in #1:
(I actually have duplicates from some of the "self-identified" anons above.)
But these two anons share the same new stock phrases:
"days are heavy" / "days that feel impossibly heavy."
Fascinated with the random person who commented on this post saying they've reported me for "genocide denialism."
Not to put too fine a tin foil hat on it, but:
That is the kind of threat someone involved in these kinds of financial scams and the social engineering behind them *would* make! It's a threatening statement to the existence of my blog which usually means heightened fear/anxiety of the target, which makes people more likely to fall for a financial scam. Social shame and embarrassment are also heightened emotions! Bullying works! This would make an excellent social engineering counterpoint (if tugging on heartstrings doesn't work!) and might even be effective on many people!
Sure, you can search the supposed connected usernames those anons claimed and find out specifics that way — but not a single one of those screenshots I showed specifies what they're referring to! The IDENTICAL messages from four "different people" never actually mention what their "family's struggle" even is! There's zero fucking context in the space of those messages. They're all IDENTICAL. I literally cannot be committing denialism about anything specific because those asks don't actually say anything I could be denying. How does this person know that these anons aren't a recently impoverished Nigerian prince?
So now you're asking why don't I just click on the usernames and find out more details? Simple. Because they're fucking fraudsters who sent me the same message like, six times with 4 different usernames attached AS ANONS. Why as anons if they have their own blogs and could send the messages that way? SIMPLE AGAIN: because if they're not logged into the blog accounts, you could have whole teams of people copying and pasting these anon asks to various Tumblr users constantly, and you can probably just bypass the ask limits by changing VPNs or going incognito or something. This is a DEDICATED scam. Is it a bot? MAYBE! But that also would explain some of why it doesn't work *while logged in* to the blog accounts — because being anon probably makes it easier to focus on volume.
Anyways a fool and their money are soon parted.
While we're on the subject of the incredible gullibility some people display on these scams, I'd just like to remind everyone that most online scams these days are being run out of massive scam farms, which often employ human trafficking.
Falling for these isn't just an 'oopsy doopsy, you're out some money' sort of a thing. If you send money to obvious scammers and if you platform obvious scammers, you are very likely directly financially supporting modern day slavery. That's not an exaggeration, and I'm not being alarmist. Please read any of these articles on the subject if you don't believe me:
Tens of thousands of people from across Asia have been coerced into defrauding people in America and around the world out of millions of dol
A man was abducted by a Chinese gang and forced to work in a scam operation. He gathered financial information, photos and videos and shared
Traffickers are forcing thousands of people from across Asia to work in online scam centres.
Myanmar youth recount life inside a cyber-scam mill before a city’s fall brought the scheme crashing down.
This is what you are supporting when you send these people money. It's not a neutral act to give to these scammers; it's a horrible, evil act, because in most cases, it directly supports horrific exploitation. And if you really were fooled? If you gave to one of these scammers and you really had no idea what you were probably supporting? Then I'm sorry, but digging your heels in and insisting that the lies you were fed are the truth helps no one. Take your blinders off and face reality, and start doing better.

Ireland is coming to the end of a three year pilot of Basic Income for Artists.
2000 artists received €325 a week for three years, and every euro paid to participants resulted in society receiving €1.39 in return.
Artists’ earnings from their art increased, there were more cultural activities and events and there were, unsurprisingly, huge leaps in participants’ psychological wellbeing.
Negotiations down to the wire, with five big-spending departments yet to agree their budget allocations
murder is never okay except when it makes me kinda hard
not to be political on main but
it would kill half of this site to understand that kids start jerking off and looking at porn the moment they hit puberty and get any kind of sex drive.
w-what do you mean kids arent sexless and pure beings??? i-i thought sexual thoughts only appear when you're 18.... or, no, 21......
i saw smth along the lines of "minors shouldn't see porn, their brains are developing!!!"
this argument only makes sense if you
1. dont understand how any of human biology works
2. think of porn, depiction of the sexual act, as containing the primordial fucking sin, something that corrupts the minds of anyone looking at it
deeply fascist shit
i need people to understand the fact that the stigma surrounding being a child looking at porn was the very first step into terrifying me into being unable to speak about the sexual violence i endured, which in turn allowed for it to continue happening.
Official graveyard post
”official graveyard post” so i want to remind y’all this was posted like a month and half ago, i was magicalgirlbait. ive had 8 blogs since then. tumblr really really doesn’t like it when victims talk about their experiences
they really dont like it
I NEED PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THIS. Why do we see so many cases of CSA/SA in religious communities? It’s not because religious people are more primed to be evil, it’s that the system demonises any knowledge of sex in a way that allows predators to get away with harming people becuase the people they harm cannot talk about it! This is why it disgusts me so much that this mindset is sweeping into mainstream, becuase it is encouraging a climate that makes harm easier!
(I’m saying this as a victim of CSA who grew up in a religious setting and had this happen to me)
Not to kill the vibe, but ICE is also detaining Black Americans in Chicago, and we should all be paying attention.
The government is calling it "Operation Midway Blitz."
They're pulling children out of their homes in the middle of the night, zip-tying them together, and loading them into vans before driving off.
They're violating due process rights by detaining citizens without cause, without warrants, and denying them legal counsel, even when they ask for it.
For weeks, we've had federal agents patrolling our main streets and around our most famous landmarks, as well as targeting non-white neighborhoods. ICE agents have even been spotted on boats on the Chicago River.
The President wants to use Chicago as "training grounds" for the military. He’s posted on social media that we’re about to find out "why it’s called the Department of WAR."
It's a nightmare. But it's real.
