(goverment voice) we need to protect the children from pornography so our plan is to remove their eyes so they would never see something so traumatic. if you are against removing children's eyes you are basically a pedophile

yeah sure whatever

thinking really hard about i wanna be your girlfriend by ms. ezra furman rn. i wanna hug anyone who has ever related, including ezra. i wanna hug the girl im seeing who i know will cry when she hears it on my mix cd for her because she has told me she feels that way about herself. and i wanna smack the people at VICE who were too thick skulled to use she or at LEAST they (since ezra publically used he/they at the time of release iirc) pronouns for ezra in the title of her video where she breaks down the song for them. she very transparently speaks about wanting to be a girlfriend despite not appearing like a cisgender woman. transmisogyny is everywhere and i wanna hug every single girl who deals with it, both externalized and internalized.

my most lukewarm take is that I don't think there should be any exemptions for vaccines, etc., beyond documented legit adverse medical shit that makes it physically impossible. like they should be free and required and nobody should be allowed to just choose to leave their child and any immunocompromised person they interact with vulnerable to potentially deadly but entirely preventable diseases and other medical conditions.

my lukewarm addition to this is that i think refusing your child vaccines is child abuse, just like refusing to feed them

One of the staffers at our local anarchist bookstore just left the reading group I run because a trans woman asked them not to call her "bro" in the group chat
