This is an anti-despair checkpoint! You must share something you're looking forward to before scrolling on.

this is a fun post because people will say how many they have in the tags then you get to figure out which ones.

"let's talk exclusively about crimes in which the suspect is black" was literally what bill o'reilly was doing on fox news when i was in elementary school 20+ years ago, and it was as tired and obvious then as it was back when the nazis were doing it about jews in the 30s, and now trans-men's-rights activists on tumblr are announcing "hey, anyone who would like to describe real or imagined sex crimes exclusively by trans women please form a line for the hate megaphone" like they think they just came up with something new

aw, you poor little guy, did the "women YOU'RE allowed to abuse" start talking to each other? you had to put them back in their place? eat shit & die

while it is obviously important to identify threats to trans women in all spaces, and i do agree that accounts such as transmasc voice project represent a threat to trans women, this post demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of historical racism and antisemitism in a way that is extremely dangerous. if this had been a conversation about the increase of transmisogyny worldwide especially in places like the united states, there might be a conversation worth having even if the rhetorical comparisons presented were as inappropriate as those used here, but as it stands, comparing the scale of widespread broadcasts promoting antiblack fearmongering in the united states and of antisemitic rhetoric and broadcasting used in nazi germany to the actions of maybe a thousand terminally online trans men demonstrates an understanding of politics that is completely detached from political reality. in recognizing the threats that trans women are currently experiencing, we must not diminish the historic and current political realities of other marginalized people. please consider your political rhetoric more strongly in the future.

july is disability pride month. it is also summer in the northern hemisphere, and this summer we have seen record breaking hot temperatures across the globe. it might be apt to remember that disabled people are a population vulnerable to extreme weather, and significantly more at risk of death or health issues during a heatwave. "the global mortality rate of people with disabilities in natural disasters is up to four times higher than people without disabilities." (source). disability may increase the relative risk of a heatwave more than old age, socioeconomic status, and being outdoors (source). even in the places most affected by the rising heat, disabled people are barely included in action plans for public safety, if at all (source). global warming is a an issue that affects a wide range of people, but let's not forget it is also a disability rights issue

Reblogging in honor of Marjane Satrapi, one of THE great graphic novelists. Her comic Persepolis was a crucial text for shaping my belief that comics can deeply explore identity, culture, politics, and history.
