@praxis Yeah she has always given me weird sus vibes, and it seems like my apprehension is vindicated.

This isn't worse than her trans episode, but it definitely shows the pattern of throwing out reason for the sake of content, and being anticapitalist is very trendy right now

Your duty to the revolution is to take a shower and eat something.

someone said this on Tumblr and its 100% true

exposure to fetishes you aren't into is inoculation against the disgust response right wingers prey upon

Sabine Hossenfelder done did it again and strayed from science and talked about capitalism and asserts that capitalism is when markets and money. Because money is capital

Of course modern planned economies would look a lot like markets methinks, but regardless market aren't bound to capitalism, they weren't even invented by capitalism, capitalism just came along and (ab)used them

Transphobes 

Okay one thing because I riled myself up

It's so fuckin ridiculous when people rail against trans people for perpetuating sexist stereotypes. I've read a few comments tonight that essentially boil down to "gender should be abolished but trans people are the problem"

Sorry pal you can't escape your jail cell without fixing the prison industrial complex

I mean that seriously--not having kids is a totally valid life choice, and anyone who pressures anyone else (including their partner) to have kids is someone who deserves to be ignored as the useless busybody they are.

Having a kid and then resenting them for failing to meet your ideal is NOT valid. It is unfair to the child who literally never asked to be born, and it is a dereliction of a parent's duty to love their child unconditionally, and to make them feel safe & welcome at all times.

If you think a disabled child is not an absolute joy and a blessing, don't have kids.

Those who doubt that people can be trans or that nonbinary people exist are on the same level of ignorant as a pre-archimedian mathematician believing that no numbers exist other than positive integers, negative integers and null.

Get with the times, you have rational genders, irrational genders, transcendent genders, hyperreal genders, surreal genders, p-adic genders, and best of all, genders that lie on the complex plane.

re: alt-right bigotry, "facts don't care about your feelings" kinda posting as i think 

@heatherhorns_lite You are hated and feared by fascists, because you represent an anathema to their idea that everyone has a place in society, and that you have agency over your body.

The fascists run on the principle that your body is the property to the powers that be.

@heatherhorns_lite Not to mention how every single transphobic screed I read online is almost verbatim quoted from Hitler himself, or one of his adjutants.

:boost_request:​ funds needed for a black autist system to deal with my father's abusive demands; birthday edition! :boost_request: 

TL;DR: some bills are already late. It is my birthday month and there is nothing that I'd like than having my expenses covered

Some of my bills are already late. The credit card bill is on the 7th and I do really need to pay it as soon as I can to buy my cats food and litter since we're already out of litter and food is running out.

Also... my birthday is this month. I honestly would like nothing else than being free of my father but... I ran the numbers it is just too much money. Maybe if I can have my expenses covered I'll try and make it a goal.

thanks for your attention.

@heatherhorns_lite It serves to mask the origin of this kind of ideology, both from their own egos and from it being called out.

Transphobia is inextricably linked to nazism and anti-semitism.

alt-right bigotry, "facts don't care about your feelings" kinda posting as i think 

"common sense" is *obviously* a matter of feelings. it's instinctive. and we're talking about people who have to translate their perception of the world through a lens where your instinctive gut reaction is the only truth and everything else you believe is an extrapolation of what you need to believe in order for you to be right.

i get really bothered when transphobia pretends it's not coming from "you are gross"

alt-right bigotry, "facts don't care about your feelings" kinda posting as i think 

"facts don't care about your feelings" keeps sticking with me as a catchphrase for bigotry. i dunno if it's relevant anymore, but there's just been something about that phrase in particular that really epitomizes a worldview.

generally i chalk it up to a comical projection. "jesus these are invariably coming from someone overcompensating"

but like.
no i think it's more revealing than that, it's all the "your"

alt-right bigotry, "facts don't care about your feelings" kinda posting as i think 

i think what it is, is an unusually straightforward declaration of a war waged against empathy

like, i dunno if people immediately get what i mean when i say this, but i would argue facts *totally* care about feelings.

hello social constructions
hi laws
hey classifications how you doing

our *realities* are built around feelings and that's gonna be the majority of 'facts' we care about
