any ideology founded on the rejection of the Other requires the existence of the Other to function

people will be like obviously im not transphobic i only hate trans people who don’t tell you they’re trans and ones that won’t shut up about being trans and that don’t pass and that pass too well and who think kids should be allowed to transition and who transitioned late and ones who watch anime and who are nonbinary and ones who make transition gofundmes and ones who are activists and who are gender nonconforming and who conform too much to stereotypes a

scientific institutions aren’t “corrupted” by racism or sexism, they developed specifically in the context of white and male supremacy. modern medicine developed, in part, to provide a biological basis for oppression and to pathologize the vast majority of the world’s population, all women and all “nonwhite” people. not only that, but many of the major developments in medicine have directly been at the expense of marginalized people. oppressive regimes also often rely on scientific institutions to further subjugate the population.

“The panoptic mechanism arranges spatial unities that make it possible to see constantly and to recognize immediately. In short, it reverses the principle of the dungeon; or rather of its three functions—to enclose, to deprive of light and to hide—it preserves only the first and eliminates the other two. Full lighting and the eye of a supervisor capture better than darkness, which ultimately protected. Visibility is a trap.” Discipline And Punish

trump really rolled back healthcare protections for lgbt people during pride month AND on the day of the 4 year anniversary of the pulse nightclub shooting. i don’t know why i’m even shocked at this point but i still feel physically ill

while this is going to affect lgbt people in general because we are now at risk of being charged higher premiums or fees for being lgbt or at risk of being completely denied healthcare for simply existing it’s especially going to affect trans men and trans women. i know there is a lot happening right now but please don’t let this go unnoticed. they are purposely passing these anti-lgbt laws right now because they know with the protests going on it’s an ideal time to do so. it’s an evil, underhanded tactic. don’t let them get away with keeping us in the dark about this.

this is also on the heels of one of my friends in the twin cities area being like, “uh, we might need to talk about how some of our community patrols seem to be thinking more and more like cops and it’s making me uncomfortable....uh, how do you have community patrols without them becoming mobs.....advice pls.....”

This is handy, and VERY well shot; I followed it with no problems even with no sound. In fact I don’t even know if there is sound, because I’m in a doctor’s office and I forgot my headphones.

oh SHIT gonna have to give this a shot

Keep the protests up until all the cops quit after one too many 84-hour work weeks

This is innapropriate please blur Paca’s face & rethink this

Tell the chairman I’ll take down the gifs when my delayed riot payments finally come through!
