No, but Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has signed a new law that protects LGBTQ+ youth from conversion therapy!
"Conversion Therapy is harmful, can traumatise kids, and is a scam to waste people's hard-earned money. This new law provides Coloradans who have been subject to this dehumanising treatment with the tools to heal and move on to live strong, healthy and authentic lives.â

It is not nearly common enough knowledge that most Native tribes in the U.S. don't actually own all of the land within their reservation. There are millions of acres of reservation land that tribes don't legally own and they have no control over how that land is used. Like, there are a lot of different concepts tied in with the land back movement, but a major one is literally just getting reservation land back into tribal ownership.
joining the war on kids reading any book they want on the side of kids reading any book they want. simply you will be fine. it's even good to be confronted with things you don't understand and even find upsetting, uncomfortable and difficult. it's a surprise tool that will help you later.

literally ok so not a funny story but kind of funny? when I was nine I encountered rape in a book and I was like hey mom whatâs this mean and she explained it and I was like oh. gross. and then like two weeks later a girl on the bus abruptly disclosed her csa and we were all like ????? what ???? but I was like wait hang on thereâs a word for that âď¸đ¤Â and explained what it meant and that it was illegal and that you could talk to a teacher or my mom if it had happened to you and everyone was like ohhhhh I see I see and very somberly comforted the girl (she was safe she was removed from her home and living with my neighbor at the time so it wasnât Urgent)
And this is a perfect illustration of why it is important for kids to read or variety of things, and why abusers donât want them to.

Spread the word! This is super messed up! I hope she wins the lawsuit. The water in your sink should be CLEAR. This woman should be considered a HEROINE. Instead, she got ARRESTED. So letâs ALL speak up about this issue! They canât get all of us.

Itâs not 2014 anymore.

Holy shit. Did I just see a piece of art on the #sexism tag that actually promotes actual equality?
This poster was in my 10th grade history teacherâs room.
I wish all Black girls a clear shot at this world. I wish all Black girls a full belly. I wish all Black girls a respite from their many troubles. I wish all Black girls nothing but grace, prosperity, and ease. Black girls I am hoping for your continued safety and success every single day.

yeah u freaks up north look and sound exactly like this when u pretend that us southern queers are perfectly complicit in our own eradication - for the heinous crime of not living in a liberal population center.
I keep this image on hand for whenever I see similar sentiments.
If anything, queer people in the south (as well as other marginalized people in the south, such as Black and Brown people, disabled people, etc.) need MORE help because of where they live.
An exercise in empathy for my fellow northerners: imagine that it was you. Imagine that, every day, you live in an area where you have to see posters put up calling for your death. Imagine your very existence being declared a problem on every other billboard. Imagine having to have a mental map in your head about which neighbors are and are not plotting to kill you, or which streets you can or canât safely walk down, or which stores you can and canât shop at. Imagine having to hide huge parts of yourself from the world so you can stay alive. Imagine that you and your friends and family are constantly in danger. Imagine that, maybe you live in a safe neighborhood, but itâs small and not very politically powerful, so the people in charge of things treat you like you donât matter. Imagine having the people in charge of where you live enact laws that discriminate against you, all the time. Imagine thereâs no escape. Imagine that home is a battlefield for you. Imagine that youâre in this type of situation and you also have no money. These are the realities for too many people. They need help.
Did you know babies have arm bones that are barely stronger than a pencil? So please be careful with babiesâ arms. Donât be mean to babies. Be gentle. They just got here and theyâre very tiny and fragile.

To Have As Much Compassion For the Coyote As the Rabbit
Spring is here, and all throughout my social media are posts by people panicking about coyotes. Itâs not uncommon for these native canines to be more visible this time of year since they have dens full of hungry pups to feed and protect. You might see them on the hunt for mice and other rodents, or you could be quietly but firmly escorted away from a den site. Thereâs a chance youâll even see a coyote toting a nice, fat rabbit home to her pups.
That last one tends to upset some folks. Iâve seen people say theyâve deliberately scared away predatory animals to cause them to drop their prey, or in some cases even physically wrestled the prey away. Sure, that may make you feel like some sort of hero for saving the rabbit. But why does the rabbit deserve to live while the coyoteâs pups slowly starve to death? Why should a Cooperâs hawk not be allowed to eat the house finch it just plucked from a convenient bird feeder? Who says we are right to get in the way of a garter snake capturing a tree frog? And what if the rabbit you liberated has internal injuries that slowly kill it anyway once it runs away from you in fright?
Read under the cut to find out how many self-described "nature lovers" only really love part of nature.
Real life isnât a movie!
"dolphins are completely evil" I actually don't think we should assign human morality to animals with no concept of law or civilisation with an intelligence roughly equating to that of a toddler
bottlenose dolphins use "baby talk" when communicating to their babies and smile at each other like humans do when they play. be nicies to them
"Dolphins are evil" is just a reactionary backlash to years of earnestly believing dolphins were all benevolence and rescuing sailors only to find out they can be dangerous and violent like any other large wild animal.
"Sharks are nice" is a similar phenomenon in the opposite direction. Pop culture portrays sharks as malevolant killing machines who crave human flesh, so when people realize they're just animals who don't attack people any more than other predators, they overcompensate into thinking you can just swim with great whites with no danger.
The reality, of course, is that both dolphins and sharks are large wild animals who should be approached with caution and respect if at all. It's probably best for you and the animal to admire them from a safe distance.
yes to all of the above but also consider from the perspective of other animals we are likewise large wild animals that should be avoided. don't take it personally if you don't get disney moments, just let animals do their thing and remember that humanity has wiped out over 70% of the world's vertebrates since the 70s *please just respect animals okay*
Respect wildlife!
Rare triple combo where everyone sucks: above you can see a mother who uses A PADLOCK to lock his son into this tent bed thing every night because he's autistic, in the first comment you can see the "parents of autistic people are sooo brave it must be horrible to exist around a disabled person đĽş" archetype, and then there's the third asshole
Why are all three of those types of people so common?
the countermeasure to dehumanisation is not sexualisation. the countermeasure is to treat the other person with respect and dignity actually.
i don't care if you wanna fuck fat people or hairy people or trans people or the elderly or disabled people or whatever. can you treat them like human beings
Evergreen!đđž
Race isnât mentioned in this post, but Iâm sure it applies regardless. Take the screenshot in context to both that and the groups mentioned above.
This right here. As a fat, hairy, autistic, mentally ill woman please just treat me like a human being. Even if I were NOT sex-repulsed asexual, it wouldnât be okay for your âallyshipâ to stop at âI think youâre sexy!â Pretty sure the most sex-favorable people in the world have more going on in their lives than sex and wanting to be seen as sexually attractive. If your âallyshipâ is nothing more than announcing that youâre sexually attracted to a marginalized/dehumanized group of people in the crudest way possible, youâre not really an ally, youâre just a creep. And before someone comes in here to say the obvious, there isnât anything inherently wrong with finding another person attractive in any way, but what IS wrong is people being creepy about it and thinking that âI think XYZ people are sexyâ is the end-all-be-all of humanization.
The test for allyship isn't how you treat an oppressed person who is your friend, family, spouse. It's how you treat an oppressed person you absolutely can't stand who is vile and loathsome in every way.
Do you gender trans people correctly even when they're being absolutely terrible people? Do you refuse to use the r-slur against someone who suicide baited you but is neurodivergent? Do you refuse to snark at a mentally ill person who is being genuinely unpleasant, "go take your meds!"
Do you allow members of marginalized groups to be terrible people without judging their entire demographic for it? One of the most invisible yet vital forms of privilege is the right to be terrible people as an individual rather than as a group. Do you acknowledge that there are bad people in every group, that it doesn't make their group less worth fighting for? Or do you shake your head if you happen to get mistreated by some who belong to a group and insist the entire group is awful and not worth your allyship?
Oppressed people can see how you treat those of us you like, but do you still treat the worst of us with the basic dignity you treat the worst of other groups with?
Yeah, you GOTTA continue to treat marginalized people as PEOPLE, even if they are frankly horrible people, and not let one horrible person from a whole group influence you to treat the whole group badly. There really are people in every community who are absolutely unbearable to be around, but that doesnât mean you can behave in a bigoted manner towards them, nor does it mean everyone in that group is just like that one person.

hi trans kiwis and friends. if you haven't seen the news, they're trying to pass a frankly insidious bill in aotearoa to define the terms 'man' and 'woman' based on biological sex. this unsurprisingly reflects a lot of similar cruel efforts happening overseas at the moment. IT HASN'T PASSED YET, but I figured I should speak up about it because this is happening as we speak.
(screenshot from the linked RNZ article)
it seems very fucking bleak!!!! please don't lose hope! it hasn't passed yet and a lot of the shoddy bills suggested by the coalition have been shot down already. it's still worth knowing about. you don't have to share this post if you don't want to. I just know that a lot of my followers are kiwi. if there are any updates as to what we can do to push back against this, I'll make a relevant addition. kia kaha, okay? love you all.
UPDATE: you can now very quickly and very easily submit a comment on the bill! these will be counted and considered in parliament.
it took me less than three minutes, and that's only because I wrote a whole paragraphs on why this is a stupid idea. all you really need to put is "don't pass this bill" if you want. it'll only take 30 seconds.
if you're able to and you want to, please consider reblogging! the more reach this gets, the better. thank you all so much [:
the fact that "eco" and "ethical" are two separate concerns in the global north, and that "eco" is a much more popular concern, with many "eco" products being made in actual sweatshops, is a big part of why i am The Joker
if you think this is an exaggeration or splitting hairs where it doesn't matter:
i used to work at a Local Organic Produce store that's popular with the lefties in my city who are interested in food justice. i quit for a lot of reasons, mostly the boss, but something i will always remember is one of our suppliers coming in to drop off produce, being told her check wasn't ready, and her laughing and responding it didn't matter -- even a low bank account was more than enough to pay the migrants who picked her produce. i am not filling in any blanks here. she said this.
after quitting, this was a common story i told people about my time there. some then became annoyed at me, acting like i was a wokescold trying to undermine the store's "eco" mission with unrelated "ethical" concerns. but, like -- if food justice isn't for the people making food, who the fuck is it for?
like, don't get me wrong. my contention here is that the things go hand in hand, and that something which is unethical isn't actually eco. after all, humans are a part of the fucking ecosystem, and if a product can only be made by unsustainably exploiting humans, then it's unsustainable. doesn't matter which chemicals were used in making it, or whether or not animals were factory farmed.
they *cannot* be separated. a product cannot be either eco or ethical â it must be both. a product that is made through human suffering cannot be eco for the reasons you said; a product that causes human suffering by contributing to the destruction of the ecosystem cannot be ethical. it must be both and we must insist on both
