Everyone’s like “when you stop being dirt poor you’ll start liking capitalism” and now that I’m actually able to survive and have some financial security I’m like, “nope still have long term memory and still want to Eat The Rich”

AKA: you don’t have to be the one suffering to want to end suffering

A self-described nazi mows down kids at a 40% Jewish high school with a weapon designed for the battlefield: time to demonize poor mental health and neurodivergence and mention one or both whenever we mention the shooting even though literal white supremacy is to blame!

while simultaneously completely failing to mention the antisemitism almost every fucking time it comes up anywhere

Hey just letting you know, f*g isn’t a slur you can reclaim if you’re not a gay man. idk if you identify as that or not, just because in your bio previously you had written ‘transbian’, which I think insinuates you’re female aligned

patrexes:

i 100% understand why you think that! however! slurs are complicated, identities are super complicated (and i don’t feel like spending three paragraphs detailing mine), and not only is fag a term that’s levelled pretty indiscriminately against queers as a general rule and especially towards transfeminine people, the differentiation between feminine gay men and trans girls is… really new. fag is both of ours. fairy is both of ours. molly and baeddel and argr are all both of ours. 

end-of is really, not everyone agrees that only gay men can say fag, but even if they did, my identity is messy and complicated and not necessarily perfectly in line with current discourse on gender/sexuality theory, the word is an important part of my identity, and i apologize for any discomfort that (or any of the various slurs i use) causes but my identity is not for you to police. 

also, here’s a pretty great post.

seeing people thinking fag isn’t thrown at trans women because it’s a slur for ‘male aligned people’ is always a fun reminder that non trans women and esp cis people just have no fucking clue.

it’s a slur associated w gay men. & that’s Exactly why it’s used against us. it has the connotations that someone’s a failure for a lack of masculinity. did u really think people are looking at trans women and thinking, “i’m going to throw a slur at her, but i have to respect her identity and not misgender her with a male aligned term, i’m only verbally abusing her I don’t want to be cruel or anything”

the news keeps reporting on that uni of Newcastle hazing video as “including footage of students made to drink from each other’s ballsacks” and geez that’s an ambiguous sentence i keep thinking the worst and that they’re puncturing them with straws like fucking capri suns but, it’s just like, holding out the scrotum and pooling alcohol in it like a kinda fucked version of belly button shots but oh my god the way they say it every fucking time i just hear. that they’re drinking scrotum fluid. They Need to find a more clear way to say this

lately i’ve been replacing my “i’m sorry”s with “thank you”s, like instead of “sorry i’m late” i’ll say “thanks for waiting for me”, or instead of “sorry for being such a mess” i’ll say “thank you for loving me and caring about me unconditionally” and it’s not only shifted the way i think and feel about myself but also improved my relationships with others who now get to receive my gratitude instead of my negativity
