well i wish stalin was MY mom

it is the 37th anniversary of the USS vincennes shooting down the civilian airliner Iran Air Flight 655, an action that killed 290 innocent passengers, 65 of which were children. the US never issued an apology and as part of a legal settlement the US refuses to ever admit liability for their violent and reckless actions.

My mind keeps going back to that video of Khamenei where a little boy sat on his lap and told him like a kid asking Santa for presents that he wants to be martyred and he had the kindest expression in his face and he told him to grow up, become a scientist, serve the IR, and live to an old age and then he can be martyred. Thank you to Khamenei for his great contributions to the resistance against the great Satan, and may his martyrdom open the door to a better and brighter future for the IR, the region, and the world.

i need to get off tumblr i’m at the aquarium admiring the fish and my brain goes “posts that make you want to get in the water” what are you talking about. these are live fish in the room with you. what post.

This was supposed to be unrebloggable, but I was flying into a gamer rage at the antique store because someone was wearing too much Victoria's Secret Love Spell body spray and it gave me a migraine.

I’m certainly not the first transfem to bring this up but there really is something to be said about how tmes arguing with trans women will suddenly and irrelevantly bring up their own personal trauma as a way to shut down any disagreement. I.e. once the trauma has been laid out any further disagreement with their initial argument can be framed as diminishing or even celebrating their trauma. I’ve seen this happen too many times not to notice a pattern

Pretty funny that the friends of the person I made this post about spent the next several days doing literally exactly what I described re people not dropping everything to say “oh my god you’re so right, your trauma is so important that this calm explanation of transmisogyny you were loudly trying to shut down doesn’t matter at all to me”. And this of course gets framed as “abusing women”

While it isn't the same, it functions off of the same logic as White Tears: privileged women have access to sanctioned victimhood status that marginalised women don't, and they can weaponise that sanctioned victimhood. They can use this victim status to shield themselves from having to be accountable for their actions towards marginalised women. When privileged women weep they gain sympathy, marginalised women such as black women and trans women do not. They bring up their unrelated trauma because they are weaponising victimhood to attempt to avoid accountability for the stuff they said.

i barely use tumblr anymore but every time i log in for more than 10 minutes i find out another blogger i used to respect is now engaging in the funny game of Kill The Tranny

hoxhaist mutual acquiredddd 😁

The western idea of "transitioning" is seeped in homonationality. It is indistinguishable from it in mainstream discourse. The concept that your lived experience as a transfem, or even a transmasc at that, only begins once you "transition" in ways that are acceptable by western standards and largely inaccessible to the global majority is so far detached from reality that I am deeply remorseful to any person who is not a corepig that is tricked into believing it.
