people just hate children. it's a sorry state of affairs. they hate children being starved and bombed overseas. they hate children laughing and playing in the park. they hate their own kids, whom they popped out because social norms told them it was an obligate milestone for their own enrichment and not the creation of another human being whose life then takes priority over theirs. they don't want to be around children, they don't want to raise them, they are always foisting them onto someone else and no one wants to take them. they hate children even though we were all children once and most of us probably know, in some way or another, how withering it felt to be a hated child, whether it was some stranger on a bus telling us to shut up in an isolated incident or our parents resenting the fact that we existed. nothing will get better if we don't stop hating children and start seeing every child anywhere as a vulnerable citizen we ought to look out for. our society is only as healthy as the poorest, loneliest child in it.

The way people are so surprised and defensive to hear that Islamophobia is institutionalized in america..the same nation/colony that literally has a whole policing body, TSA, that is known to specifically profile muslims. The same nation that created watchlists and no fly lists of mostly muslims..the same nation that wiretapped, entrapped, imprisoned thousands of muslims post 9/11. The same nation that encouraged banks around the world to adopt algorithms that will randomly blacklist bank users with arabic names, the same nation that has warred and bombed countries with majority muslim demographics? This is surprising to some people. Okay

The one thing about gender is that frankly my ideal gender situation has very little to do with me and infinitely more to do with everyone else on the earth who cannot be fuuuuuuuuucking cool about anything ever

As in, the ideas of social transition becomes completely meaningless when your preferred state would be to operate outside of the confines of sex and gender entirely, but no one else can get with the program so you are constantly put in some variety of box. I can wear whatever pronoun pin I want and change my presentation however I want but all it impacts is what box I'm categorized into. It does grate I must admit

All that said if I'm going to be in a box regardless I'm glad I have my trans siblings in it with me 🥂 I may be irritated by my circumstances, but I will never be alone

"this post contains potentially mature content" and its... a dirty joke... a bloody scene from an action movie... tasteful nudity... sometimes none of these even... and of course a regular fully clothed transgender woman... i dont think i could ever hate christians enough

That is a fucking awesome site everyone should visit. Don't skip the Hall of Shame.

a book should be $5 a little drink should be $2 and museum access should be free and all hours

it's Tuesday all day today and there's no known way to prevent this

The way all the 2020s have done so far have been making me categorically against every new generation of tech that comes out is insane. Like I'm from a technological boom generation, saw the first portable phones, nokias & blackberries & flipphones etc, and the first smartphones, and the first ipods & ipads & tablets in general while still having cassettes & DVD & MP3 players around so I know how all of it work, I had computer classes in high school, I did the transition between home desktop computers to laptops and back to gaming computers. But then they started to put internet in your printer & microwave, everything has ads & AI now and every update is worst than the last. I literally loved technology and they ruined it

literally why does my fridge need a windows update?
