anyway while yall are logged off tumblr on dec 17 to protest tits how about you also go to a protest or vigil because dec 17 is the international day to end violence against sex workers
we’re about 160% as likely to be murdered as you are to get the clap, & about 4x as likely to be murdered as you are to go to the hospital for the flu. consider… giving a shit about those numbers, maybe. that’d be nice.
Trans people are more likely to be murdered. Especially trans women
Why waste your time on whores who can’t get a real job?
aaaaand this is why i’m done being nice to civilians.
- statistically speaking, trans people in the US have an adjusted murder rate of 46 per 100k. sex workers in the US have an adjusted murder rate of 229 per 100k. 62% of trans people murdered worldwide whose professions we know? sex workers.
- trans people are significantly more likely to become sex workers than cisgender people. trans people are twice as likely to do sex work than cisgender people—12% of trans people self-reported having done sex work in the NTCE USTS.
- i don’t feel like giving you any more statistics actually
- you’re scum
- whorephobia is a trans rights issue

I’m so fucking tired of goyim ignoring antisemitism. They ignore everything until something so extreme happens, like the recent shooting. How about you start caring about us BEFORE WE FUCKING DIE. Just fucking LISTEN for ONCE when we say we’re angry or scared or sad about the injustices we as a people have faced OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I don’t know one single Jewish person who hasnt been touched by antisemitism. I’ve been called a kike more times than I can count. I went to elementary school with a boy who told me he wished Hitler had won the war. I was shouted at and threatened by a stranger for wearing a Magen David. My grandpa has had to respond to bomb threats at our synagogue. My grandma had to switch roommates in college because her roommate was violently antisemitic. My fucking Jewish PRESCHOOL had to have ARMED GUARDS to keep people from fucking MURDERING PRESCHOOL AGED JEWISH CHILDREN. I thought all preschools had armed guards until I was like 12. Just fucking LISTEN when we say things. Here, I’ll give you a list of things you NEED to listen to us about.
- Holocaust deniers are violent antisemites, no exceptions. They are dangerous and do not deserve a platform to speak.
- Jewish people cannot be nazis, no matter how much you disagree with them. Ben Shapiro is a piece of transphobic racist shit, but he’s not and will never be a Nazi.
- Trump and many people in his cabinet have repeatedly used antisemitic dog whistles, most recently calling himself a nationalist.
- We. Are not. All. White. Stop being dicks to Jewish people of color.
- And we’re not all ashkenazi!!! Google is your friend if you don’t know what that means.
- Don’t do that “Nazi puncher” bullshit if you don’t actively uplift and defend Jewish people. Punching nazis is a great thing but you need to uplift and support jews at the same time.
- Stop pinning Israeli war crimes on random Jewish people. And stop demanding we tell you our opinions on Israel before you treat us with basic human decency.
- GOY IS NOT A SLUR
- Judaism is an ETHNORELIGION. I am both religiously AND ethnically Jewish. It’s not that hard to understand.
- Stop tone policing us
- Just fucking listen when we speak
Goyim please reblog
[id: a tweet by @AndrewChamings reads: “wife: [watching the news] some idiot tried to fight a squid at the aquarium
me: [covered in ink] maybe the squid was being a dick”]
many an edgelord has observed that morality is purely a human creation, and has thus concluded that it must be fake, and lame, etc.
this, of course, misses the whole point- morality is social technology.
imagine a prehistoric community of hunter-gatherers. they’re doing decently for themselves but they have a problem- conflicts in the community keep escalating to violence, even killing. so a moral edict is created- “do not spill blood”- and people following this edict helps to keep conflicts from spiraling out of control, increasing the overall welfare of the community. decades go by, and with the help of the social technology of morality, the hunter-gather community has settled down, developed agriculture, and formed a small early city.
then someone in the community figures out how to drain poison from snakebites, or some other early form of surgery- and a problem emerges, because according to the moral edict, this practice is banned, since it spills blood.
so an underground develops, of people using these banned practices. and the society struggles to stamp this out, and the underground surgeons struggle against this repression- until as a result of the struggle, it is realized that the moral edict is flawed, and is preventing well-being, rather than encouraging it. so the moral edict is revised to “do not spill blood involuntarily,” legalizing surgery, and further improving the well-being of the community.
through this process- a dialectic between hegemony and counter-hegemony, an alchemical process of the conjunction of opposites- the social technology of morality is refined and improved.
both moral realism and moral nihilism stymie this process. we must not fall into the trap of thinking morality is One Definite Unchanging Thing. and we also must not fall into the trap of thinking morality is Fake And Lame And Nothing Matters.
we must remember that morality is social technology, which must be continually revised and rectified, through a repeating process of revolutionary struggle.
Human Morality as the Operating System for the Computer that is Mankind: makes it easier to function understandably, but does best when we upgrade it every so often.
^good metaphor
These posts matched each other so perfectly I thought they were the same post at first
[image description: a screenshot of op’s dashboard showing two posts. First a text post by windsroad that reads, “why do people in dnd each occupy a 5ft by 5ft square, how far apart do you think people need to be? why are dnd minis afraid of touching”
Below that is a quote (source: buckykingofmemes) that says, “those are bold words for someone in stabbing range” /end image description]
“If you’re a fascist and anti-fascists come for you, you have a choice. You can give it up. You can go renounce what you said. You could just go on with the rest of your life and stop turning up at fascist rallies. Anti-fascists probably aren’t gonna buy you a pint and be your best friend, but they’ll move on. But if you’re a person of color, if you’re trans, or a person with a disability, or gay, or Jewish, and fascists come for you, there is nothing you can do that can make them happy, except stop existing. That’s the key difference between the far left and the far right. Anti-fascists organize themselves against those that are building fascism. If you’re doing that, that is something you can non-violently stop doing. If you’re a political enemy of antifa, you can become a friend. If you’re a political enemy of fascism, though, either they lose or you die.”

i’m so tired of the AU where your soulmate’s name is on your wrist. i want my enemy’s name on my wrist. i wanna know who i’m going to have to physically fight eventually. turn on your fucking location
game theory:
which pokemon could i most easily kill with my bare hands?
current first place: Mr. Mime.
Not because Mr. Mime is particularly weak, but because if I ever saw a Mr. Mime in real life I would be filled with the exact power needed to kill a Mr. Mime
