a disabled clown in training, and mean with it

i am a SUCKER for characters who start out as copies of other characters but eventually become their own people, their own identities, completely different from who they once reflected

previously unseen genders in human history

white people love to jump on a post critiquing white supremacy and being like "as a white person [rehash of how white supremacy is bad]" can you just reblog the post and go. can you just be quiet or make your own post if you absolutely must

actually making my tags from yesterday their own post. stop acting like physical disabilities are already catered for and considered. that ramps are a given. that the ramps are not too steep or not wide enough when they are present. that places do not label themselves as wheelchair accessible when there's a step into them, or multiple steps. there was an accessible toilet truck at the pride parade i went to and they broke the foot pedal on my wheelchair on their powered ramp so now i can't use it at all, in a pride venue that i had to fight for hours to even get into because they wouldn't let me into the "accessible" entrance (that i needed multiple people to help my wheelchair through). this is just one example of this happening to me in the very few times i've even been able to use the thing. stop acting like people care about physical disabilities in order to advocate for your own.

Fascinating how what's considered feminine and what's considered masculine can change over time. The rebranding of being a horse girl into being a stereotypical feminine girly trait needs to be studied.

Look at classic children's novels. As recently as the 50s and early 60s, being obsessed with horses as a girl was depicted as strange and tomboyish, and the very concept of being obsessed with horses from early childhood and loving toy horses and desperately wanting your own horse being a "little girl thing" and not a "little boy thing" would send someone from the 1800s and earlier into a coma.

There's maybe a point to be made here somewhere about how when keeping and riding horses stopped being necessary to the functioning of society and became a more "frivolous" thing, it was rapidly rebranded as silly and girly and for women, but what do I know.

fuck everyone who's started saying the r slur again i hate you and i hope your life falls apart and you die alone

"it used to be a medical diagnosis" yeah so did an imbalance of the fucking humours. many slurs used to be used in some official way, they're still slurs. stop fucking saying it.

I’m so pro abortion I feel insane hearing any other take on it

Even lefties I know will eventually concede to some situation where they think it’s right to force someone to carry a child against their will as if that’s not one of the most inhumane and cruel situations to put someone in regardless of any other factors

when people talk about cop propaganda and other people are like “no! the characters in my favorite cop show are diverse and sympathetic and not racist at all!” great observation that’s why it’s cop propaganda
