Let’s Grow Flowers In These Dormant Hearts

Leslie Feinberg worked up to a few days before hir death to make sure hir groundbreaking book was available to all, for free. Never ever pay a dirtbag who charges a fortune for some rare old copy. Download this book for free or buy a print copy for dirt cheap. It’s what Leslie wants.

the way teenagers are treated these days is wild. when i was a teenager we were all watching porn, jerking off, and going to horror movies with 3000 gallons of blood. Nowadays they make kids get a permission slip to watch anything darker than Barney the Dinosaur. Insane.

Every year we infantilize teenagers more and more and act surprised when they grow up to be terrified, angry, emotionally stunted adults.

& then for some reason people fixate more on "ugh these teenagers just want to be treated like babies!!! teenagers are to blame for the rise in puritanism!!!!!" than how this is a very obvious example of ageism and the increased control over a socially vulnerable and exploited group

I’d like to remind folks that part of Spanberger’s success is due to the Democratic majorities in Virginia’s state legislature, too. They couldn't pass any bills when the previous governor would just veto them because he was a Republican piece of shit (excuse the redundancy). This is what Democrats can do when voters give them power at both the executive and legislative level! You need to vote for your state representatives and state senators, too!
