#you need to tailor your arguments to people's existing values and priorities if you want to convince them #the flip side is that it's every bit as easy to tailor conservative arguments to convince a leftist audience #so don't get smug #you're not immune to this either <- prev extremely true

the year was Two Thousand and twenty-four. I took a puff of my Electronic-Cigarette, inhaling the vapours. my mobile terminal buzzed in my pocket, a flat slab of microchips and glossy touchscreen. I ignored it....... probably another Electronic-Mail

if you're a man and you consider your imagined female version to both be more likeable and have "more personality" I have incredible news to share with you. I think you know what it is

talks with my friends who are going to kink parties and having t4t orgies and doing petplay and then goes to sleep in my childhood bedroom and dreams of the snow, and rain

[image id: black text on a white background that reads "your friends are all living their lives and having fun and exploring their sexuality together, but their lives almost feel fictitious and fantastical - yes they're doing all this but all that stuff is just an ideal, that's something you only hear about others doing and never get to access it for yourself. you talk to them about it online to try to get a taste of it, try to live vicariously through them but that's not going to replicate their real experiences. they (adults, experimenting with sex, connecting with people like them, mature enough to live their own lives) are on a different plane to you, you who is still back in your childhood bedroom, disconnected from the adult world, feeling like you haven't finish your teenage years yet. you have a lot of close friends but none of them are close to you. while they are out doing things you occasionally daydream about doing in some distant future, you're sleeping alone in your bedroom. and you're dreaming about the snow, and rain" /end id]

when your shy little sister says she wants to "practice kissing" what she really wants is a lengthy and passionate demonstration where you grab her and bring her close before planting your lips fully onto hers and force your tongue into her mouth and keep going until she's dazed and breathless and has a funny feeling in her tummy.

the fact that I feel the need to go, "and don't forget about Black people" is the most damning indictment of tumblr that I can give without being tempted to mention photovoltaic bartholemew. I have to browbeat you people to reblog any kind of Melanistic Mention. I love you, but i despair of you understanding the way I interpret your suburban accent.

Tears that are driven by white guilt are self-indulgent. When we are mired in guilt, we are narcissistic and ineffective; guilt functions as an excuse for inaction. Further, because we so seldom have authentic and sustained cross-racial relationships, our tears do not feel like solidarity to people of color we have not previously supported. Instead, our tears function as impotent reflexes that don’t lead to constructive action. We need to reflect on when we cry and when we don’t, and why. In other words, what does it take to move us? Since many of us have not learned how racism works and our role in it, our tears may come from shock and distress about what we didn’t know or recognize. For people of color, our tears demonstrate our racial insulation and privilege. I asked the woman of color I refer to in the opening of this chapter if I was missing anything in this list. This is her response: It’s infuriating because of its audacity of disrespect to our experience. You are crying because you are uncomfortable with your feelings when we are barely allowed to have any. You are ashamed or some such thing and cry, but we are not allowed to have any feelings because then we are being difficult. We are supposed to remain stoic and strong because otherwise we become the angry and scary people of color. We are only allowed to have feelings for the sake of your entertainment, as in the presentation of our funerals. And even then, there are expectations of what is allowed for us to express. We are abused daily, beaten, raped, and killed but you are sad and that’s what is important. That’s why it is sooooo hard to take. White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo (emphasis mine)

talking about stuff like prison reform or the SO registry really quickly makes you realize how many peoples political ideology boils down to "look, just tell me who the bad people are so I know who we should be killing."

and this is not unique to one side of the political spectrum btw. right or left, authoritarian or anarchist, all are susceptible to the rhetoric of "who is the acceptable target?"
