blood pressure Ain't even real lol. *stands up and immediately
the misogyny inherent in the "why are you talking about transmisogyny/shutting down misogynistic trans men/acknowledging trans women's rights to be safe in our spaces when the republicans are LITCHERALLY trying to make us illegal.... trans unity 😔" shit is so transparent especially re: who it serves. the case with transmisogyny in queer spaces is the same with generalized misogyny in any community, which is that for every one misogynist you make apologetics for, there's at least a handful of women who no longer feel safe speaking, taking action, seeking leadership, or even just existing in that same space. misogynists stifle progressive movements and their power, force conformity to the violent norm, and are also very famously easy targets for fash and the state to use as informants and destabilizing assets. if you had any actual interest in building a genuine trans solidarity political movement, you would understand that expelling transmisogynists and refusing them grace, courtesy or connection is a basic prerequisite for any lasting or meaningful form of solidarity
something about jv suddenly being all willing to criticize tumblr’s racism makes me feel gross. maybe this is just my personal grudge speaking, and if that’s the case then i should be ashamed, but i remember him basically implying that i was lying when i said that tumblr staff did not respond to my reports of white supremacists on here. i also seem to recall that several of the other users that he mocked and berated for raising similar complaints about staff were black.
so this feels very hollow now. to me.
Now that the truce has ended, don’t call for a 'permanent ceasefire', call for the end of the occupation. As long as Palestine is occupied, Palestinians will never know peace. Even if the Israeli army left Gaza in this very moment, Palestinians will still face brutal suppression at the hands of the Israeli state. Apartheid laws will still remain. Palestinian children will continue to get kidnapped and tortured in prisons. Armed Israeli settlers will continue to act as shook troops in the Occupied Territories.
The state of Israel must be dismantled and occupation must end for such a permanent ceasefire to happen. Support the end of the occupation.
tbh i think it's just really important, now more than ever, that americans (and tbh, just ppl from the imperial core in general) start to actually reading up on south african history, laws and politics. there will absolutely be an uptake in anti-south african (especially anti BLACK south africans) propaganda both online and in american politics, even from so-called american leftist spaces, and i absolutely refuse to be the one who has to hold your hand and remind you that me and my people are human !
do you ever think about how in the static shock show, there was a sequence where this girl named madelyn used her powers to get into richie's mind and literally all richie had was virgil in his head which lead to virgil's secret identity being exposed? and richie hated it when virgil would hang out with his girls? and richie was wearing an earring? like ik they confirmed it + richie was gay in comics but this had more gay subtext than 90% of modern cartoons nowadays IDCCC
