Just amazing stuff!

Very cool stuff, and hella informative.
Like yes they hyperenforce gender roles and stereotypes on all cis women, but it is primarily women of color that they target and accuse of being predatory and "not real women" when they're targeting cis women.
The metrics of "real woman vs trans woman" that terfs love to share are almost all just white eurocentric beauty standards. Small nose, thin fine hair, little/no body hair, petite but somehow curvy, hell I've even seen a post saying skin lightness is a determiner.
Terf/radfem circles are racist at their core. You cannot separate radical feminism from it's violently white supremacist roots. You can't have "anti-racist radical feminism", that's a fucking oxymoron. There is a very clean path from terfs to tradfems/tradwifes, to just straight up conservative republican women.
Yes yes always, terfs are super misogynistic. They hurt all women by forcing them back into the little impossible painful boxes that they claim they're fighting. But one of their biggest targets other than trans women is black women. Not to mention ignoring, discrediting, or just straight up trying to erase all the hard work that black trans women did for queer rights.
Radical feminism is very much transphobic, homophobic, and misogynistic. I'm not saying stop addressing it as such. Don't ever do addressing it as such!
But racial feminism is white supremacy in a coat of pink paint. Please never forget that when talking about how it hurts us all.
Y'know what? Dude is absolutely right about this. I don't care what the reasons are, it's dumb, and it needs to stop.
i absolutely cannot stand it when media/shows are so hellbent on depicting or describing a caricature of a bad person or thing with traits that aren't seen as conventionally attractive.
like yeah, why is the villain/creep in your story always fat, or has a big nose, crooked teeth, ethnic features basically, or straight up DISABLED.
GOOD LORD NO DO NOT USE THESE
…Not a phrase I imagined myself typing today. But, via @heyMAKWA on Twitter:
“i'm not going to link any of them here, for a variety of reasons, but please be aware of what is probably the deadliest AI scam i've ever heard of:
“plant and fungi foraging guide books. the authors are invented, their credentials are invented, and their species IDs will kill you.”
…So PLEASE be careful if you run across anything of this kind.
(ETA: Corrected egregious typo in the title. Apologies, as I was [a] in bed [b] typing hurriedly and one-handed on the iPad, and [c] I think its native keyboard may need recalibration, but also [d] I was upset about what I was having to post, because seriously, WTF?!!)
Yes, this, especially because finding the relevant INSTANT in a video is such a pain. Let me use my eyes and brain. They're really good at this.
In Prince's funky name, amen.
Very true
No peace in reblogs!
Especially because teasing Yaoi between Ishmael and Queequeg is CANON. Moby Dick as God? Symbolically CANON, and Melville's excessive dedication to symbolism means that it's absolutely canon! Ahab as a hot-blooded (but old) Shonen Protagonist? Buddy, that degree of obsession fits nicely.
So what I'm saying is, YES THIS SHOULD HAPPEN!
op turned reblogs off :/
Heck, I'll reblog it, too, to get the word out!
A book crystallized in the ocean
Seriously. I'm a manager. I have to deal with people. For, like, just HALF of that conversation, it would be "...we'll mail your last check to you. Don't come by the store again."
New trainee!
Supportive parenting for the win!
insane clown posse man was at midwest fur fest in a fucking juggalo fursuit oh my god
How could I not preserve and share such beautiful sarcasm?
