Anyway, I think cis women who like see trans women as sisters have a certain obligation on this site to actively counter terf recruiting. Because I regularly see terfs actively recruit teenagers and young adults into their ideology (a strategically smart move if you want your otherwise dying brand of hate to stay relevant into the future). Cis allies, especially our radfem allies need to be actively countering that. Trans women, especially trans dykes like myself can’t do anything to counter it because thy kids they go after already a priori assume we have subhuman status. It can literally only be actively fought by cis women. 

the first time EVER scientists managed to spot a pair of deep sea octopi mating it turned out to be 1. two males and 2. two males of different species 3. the much smaller octopus was clearly topping. neither of the octopi showed any sign of distress, so they clearly were into it, and octopi are too smart not to know what they were doing. source

the animal kingdom is a lot gayer than people want you to believe.

this years holocaust remembrance day is very important, given the current political climate. take today to remember the horrifying acts committed against jewish and romani people. take today to recognize the beginning of those same acts forming against PoC in america today. take today to resist those in power however you see fit, and after today, dont stop resisting. i am a jew still personally affected by the holocaust even 2 generations later. every jew is affected by the shoah, but there is a special pain to know what happened to your own family. or worse, not knowing what happened to the unknown people you see in old family photographs. we as a people will never be the same. remember the holocaust today. dont let this happen again.

non-jews are absolutely allowed/encouraged to reblog this

Since there are no date stamps on tumblr I wanted to add that Holocaust Remembrance Day is today. Jan 27th.
