Visibly trans people in customer facing retail and food services are braver than any marine and provide a far greater service to society

Can you post your map with broadcast locations you've heard or would that doxx you?

oh yea sure! just keep in mind this map is from 1996, zaire has not returned.

mostly from china and south east asia, only 4 from the USA and they were all either weird religious wackos or trying to convince cuba to overthrow their government. i sometimes pick up stuff from Algeria :)

i also hear shortwave HAMs but haven't put them on as pins because I can't google where they're from. but I've heard ppl from England and france

had a dream i was in the setting of arma 3 and was trying to survive while also keeping my partners grandmother entertained like a tourist. i also killed the queen with a shotgun using a shell packed with batteries so i guess that was cool.

it sucks so bad that if you're a fat person you really Cannot post or say anything about body image or body politics or fat liberation without at least a couple of thin people deciding to make you their therapist for the moment. like the tendency of skinny people to just dump a couple vent paragraphs in my inbox about their eating disorder, no trigger warning (how could i have ED issues after all? i'm fat!), multiple restatements that looking like me is their worst fear, a few jabs about how nice it must be to "not care about my body image as much," all without any active malicious intent -- and this has happened well over a dozen times to me and is something i see happen to other fat people constantly! if you're thin and you're having issues with your body or relationship to food i'm genuinely very sorry, and I hope you can heal from that and find sources of worth beyond your thinness, but you neeeeed to stop treating fat people as obligate caretakers just bc you can't extend us enough compassion or courtesy to understand that we might experience those same issues (let alone find them compounded and medically formalized by systemic fatphobia)

Giving nurses tiktok was a mistake

Buckle up, European and Foreigner Tumblypoos, because I'm about to learn you a thing about AMERICA.

You see these delectable motherflippers? These are called STATES. You stupid foreigners might not be able to wrap your head around this, but basically they're administrative subdivisions of the country.

And here's the thing: They are totally heckin' different from each other! For instance, New York:

Looks TOTALLY DIFFERENT from Kansas:

And they both look TOTALLY different from California!

So before you make fun of an American for not knowing where tiny third-world countries like "Check Republic" or "South Korea" are, maybe think about how much we have to learn about the unique regional differences in our OWN country. Maybe you should think about AMERICA more.

“why are so many young people going no contact with their parents” have you perhaps considered not abusing your children

white lesbians tend to fail to comprehend the existence of lesbians of colour

when they think of the lesbian community, they think of their fellow white lesbians

that's part of why lesbians of colour get accused of lesbophobia when we talk about racism in the lesbian community. because they see us as outsiders attacking a community we don't belong to, rather than community members addressing a widespread issue that impacts us every single day

it's a very similar experience for Jewish and Muslim lesbians. people believe there is an inherent conflict between our faith and our lesbianism, so we are discounted from lesbian spaces and conversations

so when Jewish and Muslim lesbians talk about islamophobia and antisemitism in the lesbian community, we are again accused of lesbophobia, because we aren't seen as members of the community. people who know nothing about our religions decide that we can't be Muslim and gay or Jewish and gay.

being a brown Muslim lesbian, I experience this regularly. white lesbians don't see me as one of them, so any critique that I have of their racism/islamophobia/antisemitism is dismissed as a lesbophobic attack from outside the community

I'm tired of the whiteness of so many lesbian spaces. I'm tired of being ignored and dismissed and excluded and vilified and told who I can and can't be

but I'm so grateful for my fellow lesbians of colour, my fellow Muslim lesbians, and the Jewish lesbians that I stand in solidarity with

I wish we didn't have to build our own community to escape the white supremacy, but I'm so glad that we have each other. that we support each other when the white lesbian community excludes us

we're still here. we always have been, and we always will be.

honest to god we've got to start naming the elderly as a vulnerable group & calling their disabilities, disabilities. we sugarcoat and distance these things by only calling them "elderly," "old & frail," etc. most of them are disabled.

too many people completely separate disability from themselves in their mind. it's something that happens to other people. other sad people i don't want to think about. are they really even people, it's too much to bear thinking about that happening to a person... those background characters over there. it would never be me, i can't cope with thinking about that possibility.

this mass denialism of the fragility of the human body (YOUR human body) has created a whole category separate from the disabled - the "elderly." since anyone can join it if they live long enough.. no they can't be disabled. that's scary, and worse it's political. so they are just "old." so what they lost their hearing, their mobility, their heart function? that's just how it goes for old people. as if that's not a person as real as you. as if you wouldn't be devastated if that happened to you today (and it can btw). as if you won't be when it's your turn to be old, and disabled.

simultaneously the disabled are dehumanized as not people, and the elderly are dehumanized as not disabled. so the illusion of disability as separate can be upheld.

nobody ever told me they thought i'd be happier as a girl btw. instead i had my ex tell me that my attempts to explore my gender and sexuality came off as "fetishizing" because i posted a gif of two women kissing and said it gave me lesbian yearning, which delayed my realizing that i was in fact a lesbian by 2 whole years

cis person: squints at a gorgeous trans woman like a magic eye puzzle trying to contort what they're seeing so as to still perceive her as a man

Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.

The coquettes, they just listen to their lana del rey and post their anya taylor joy smoking a cigarette and that’s fine. They can do what they want. But then they listen to fiona apple and start talking about eds and it’s just absolutely terrible. The things these girls will post about, just a bubble. And you know what they don’t know? They don’t know what fiona was talking about. And now fiona apple knows and she’s upset so we’re all upset. It’s absolutely terrible. It’s getting bigger every day and it’s just not healthy. It’s not healthy behavior.

But see what you can do is you can blacklist the tag. You can just go and mute coquette. And i know it’s crazy. Crazy stuff. Very good tumblr feature.But you’ll mute it and then you’ll see a muted post on your dash and you’ll unmute and what do you see? You see something not even related to coquettes like a picture of jennie from blackpink or a post about grocery stores and it’s just terrible what they’ve done to the tumblr economy. Because unless you have it muted you’re posting it and your mutuals are posting it so then you see a post on your for you page and you know what it is? It’s anya taylor joy smoking a cigarette. It’s plath. It’s sofia coppola. And you realize then that it’s unavoidable. Horrible. Just absolutely horrible what these coquettes are doing. Absolutely terrible. SAD.

What's wrong with that "culture isn't mean to be shared" post? It seems pretty sound in theory and in practice.

it is literally fascism. i am not being hyperbolic. "cultures should never intermingle" is one of the foundational pillars of fascist ideology. and before you interpret this post as "wow this white person is calling POC Nazis for Standing Up Against Cultural Appropriation", please remember that 1. the vast majority of cultural exchange takes the form of influences on food, music, loanwords, etc. and not "white girl wearing a headdress to Coachella" and 2. most of the classic examples of Cultural Appropriation that got bandied about on this site back in the day (and subsequently laid the bedrock for a good chunk of this site's understanding of cultural appropriation discourse) literally just. aren't. the two worst ones i can remember off the top of my head were "American museum puts on an exhibit where visitors can try on a kimono" and "Indian charity group applies henna to terminal cancer patients to make them feel prettier and some of these terminal cancer patients were white".

i can understand why you might think "white people should never take cultural inspiration from minorities or foreigners" (because lbr this discourse is always about white people) is a progressive idea but please. reread that sentence until you realize how bad it sounds.

I feel like it's redundant to have ISIS marked with Shinigami Eyes, considering that they hate literally everyone, but I'm glad the Salafist-Jihadists within al-Nusra had no issues with trans people

so trans people should just be allowed to murder whoever they want?

your brain could revolve inside a peanut shell for a thousand years without touching the sides

i really can't get over that cunt trying to make it seem like palestinians are ableist for... pointing out that israelis purposefully maim and disable people, children for life. when idf pigs were bragging and joking about how many kneecaps they sniped per day during the great march of return, clearly the biggest issue here is how ableist palestinians are for not wanting to have their limbs permanently disabled or amputated (????). also conveniently dismissing the fact that you do fucking kill people on the regular, "fate worse than death" my ass it's not like you aren't genocidal fucking freaks to begin with

at some point i really have to wonder how their god awful attempts at co-opting social issues for their shitty propaganda don't sound painfully vapid, disingenuous and downright stupid to their own fucking ears
