mobility aids and glasses should be free for everyone
people need those to live
MEDICATION SHOULD ALSO BE FREE ACTUALLY. PEOPLE ALSO NEED THAT TO LIVE
ok i get the sentiment from people in the notes and i do agree with it but this is specifically a disability post
THANK YOU
PBS and NPR were never beholden to the US government.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting was created so that the US government could fund public media without public media being influenced by the government. It was a private non-profit funded by the government, not a part of the government itself. This is by design. This was a good thing. It meant that even small local TV and radio stations, could afford to create media for the public good, without government influence.
This meant TV and radio stations for poor communities. For non-english speaking communities. For rural communities. For minorities. It meant that free and accessible media could be created for everyone, even if the government didn't like it.
That's why conservatives defunded it.
Because if they couldn't control it, and if it helped the people they hated, then they would have to destroy it. Do you really think that a fascist government would defund their own propaganda machine?
Not only is the idea that PBS before being defunded was propaganda wrong, but ignores the fact that defunding it is going to have long-term negative effects on vulnerable communities.
OP of the post in the screenshot called me an idiot and blocked me for pointing this out. So I'm setting the record straight. The CPB was never our enemy.
hrt and transgender surgeries being positioned as dangerous and experimental despite being around for much longer than ozempic, which many people are pushing as a miracle weight loss drug while ignoring its real medical indications and any possible negative side effects
it seems like hypocrisy but it's really the same idea: your body is not yours to control. you are not allowed to be fat, you are not allowed to be trans, we will say whatever it takes to keep you in line
we are NOT bringing 4chan incel terminology to this site, take that "foid" out of your post and go wash your blog out with soap
the memeification of fascism is a proven method of perpetuating and instilling it in other people. Layers of irony will not protect you once you adopt racist, sexist, ableist, transphobic terminology into your lexicon. you'll be acknowledging and nursing the mindsets and connotations borne of those words.

Tumblr’s one true talent is making me sick of things I’ve never seen or read or heard.
Christ this is so fucking cool
I haven't been able to stop thinking about this. There's so much going on here. I genuinely love the conception of gender as mystic autodeism. Gender as divine microcosm. Gender as Great Work. It's gnostic, it's alchemical, it's got notes of bacchanalian worship of the body and the inherent magic of self-discovery. This but unironically.
So much of these people's worldview comes down to a disgust at the concept of personal autonomy. Making decisions about your body, your circumstances or your future is a demonstration of unbelievable arrogance that must be beaten out of you, either before you take the action via making it as difficult as possible or after you take the action via punishment and scorn, so that you give up this sinful concept of owning your own life. They treat the world like abusive parents who are completely shocked that their "ungrateful" twenty year old children refuse to call them any more.
Kamryn Wilson, a 25-year-old trans woman in Iowa, also holds right-wing beliefs. She is a member of Young America’s Foundation (YAF), an organization dedicated to helping young conservatives spread right-wing values on university campuses. Sen. Ted Cruz has spoken at YAF events, and the organization’s president, Scott Walker, has a track record of supporting anti-LGBTQ policy. Though Wilson believes there are transphobic voices within the Republican Party, she does not see them as fundamental to the ideology of the GOP. “The conservative party is not a party that is designed to hate trans people,” Wilson told Uncloseted Media and GAY TIMES. “There are people in higher-up positions in the [GOP] that are not fond of trans people, and they voice those opinions very loudly. But it is not a consistent [ideology].” Wilson thinks concerns that Trump is curtailing trans rights are overblown. She believes the president is exclusively concerned with trans people on the far left, who she sees as having a tendency to exaggerate. “He’s coming for a subset of the trans community. The same people that have constantly said that misgendering someone is violence are the same people saying Trump is coming after [them],” she says. “Trump is coming after far-leftism.” Though Wilson believes Trump’s threats are overblown, the president has passed a litany of anti-trans policies. These include banning trans and nonbinary people from military service, removing the T from LGBT on government websites and banning trans people from receiving passports with the correct gender marker. Despite this, Wilson says she hasn’t faced significant hardship under the Trump administration. “Nothing of note has really happened to my rights.”
For these transgender conservatives, political identity, gun rights and distrust of the left outweigh the GOP’s escalating attacks on their
Wilson believes transgender people should be able to use bathrooms that correspond to their gender, but she thinks this access should only be granted to trans people who “pass,” meaning their appearance is perceived as aligning with their gender. “People that have been transitioning for one to three years, then we can talk about using the women’s restroom. Those people start to have more estrogen in their system than testosterone, and they tend to live life very femininely,” she says. Because Wilson herself is early in her transition, she chooses to use the men’s restroom. “I think that there should be a passability line,” she says. “I started HRT about a month and a half ago. I’m nowhere near that line yet.”
Shocking - being trans doesn't stop someone from being a complete dumbass
Also, I have been on hormones for over four years. I have boobs and facial hair. Please, Ms. Wilson, tell me how I pass and thus which bathroom I'm allowed to use.

people will call rap overstimulating and then listen to hyper pop
i cant talk to people who hate on entire genres about music they have a sinister aura that i do not want to interact with
Even if it's Country?
yes hot take the hatred of country music as a whole will often come down to classism i love country music i love bluegrass i love folk and writing off a whole genre or type of music is crazyyyyyyy
country was also explicitly stolen from black people and sold to white audiences by covering black songs with white artists
Jingoistic radio country is not the whole of the genre.
And whenever the hummock of the depravity iceberg pokes out of humanity's waters, there are those, even those who do not have the ability to pursue depravity with impunity, who nevertheless instinctively rush to defend the precious reputations of our depraved decency-exempt overclass. This sort of thing came out during the Me Too movement. It usually started with a quick admission that, yes, the alleged crimes were terrible and should be taken seriously. This brief sop to decency expunged, the defender moved quickly to worry about scope: How far is this sort of thing supposed to go? we were asked. How many careers will be ruined? Where does it all end? Here, in the reaction to the hummock, we detect the shape of the submerged bummock. Where does it all end? This reaction ... it’s an unnatural instinct, culturally taught, buried deep. It’s a statement of alignment. An abuser culture will always double as an enabler culture. In an enabler culture, revelation of the offense is the offense. You can hear the dark echoes of their clear expressions of this worldview in more mainstream statements. This—yet another moment when it becomes obvious that powerful men consume women and children for pleasure—is going to be framed, once again, as a scary time for men. Does it occur to those who do so that they are perfectly demonstrating the point that's being interrogated? It does not.
Answering the enabler's constant question, and contemplating the depraved depths of the billionaire mindset.
It might seem as if acceptance of these unnatural assumptions are so societally instinctive, the existence of a Jeffery Epstein, who procured weaker human beings for consumption by stronger ones, is not an aberration to the system but rather an inevitability the system produces deliberately. We might presume the existence of many Jeffery Epsteins, still operating, providing our overclass with access to the privilege of grotesque depravity. Where does it all end? is the big question. The assumption being that what has happened thus far will be permitted, but the instinct for exposure of abuse moves us in a dangerous direction that could easily go too far. The implication is that it may have already gone too far and probably has. The clear call to action is to stop exposing so much abuse, to avoid the moral dangers of looking at all of it. Where does it all end? isthe sort of question that somebody asks when they don't want it to end, and they don't even want the process of ending it to begin. So often the question is “have we gone too far?" So rarely is it the statement: "They have gone too far." So often the question posed is "where does it all end?" So rarely is the question “how will we make this end?”
If you want people to speak well of you after you die, that's a thing you can fix while you're alive.
ICE is still murdering people
Well, they are lying murderers, so I think we ought to issue natural consequences that attend lying and murder. We should stop trusting them. Every word they say should be taken as a lie. Even occasional truths that come from their mouths should be understood as serving larger lies. Every intention should be presumed malicious. We should guard our words around them and lie to them about our intentions in order to confound their expectations. We should disobey them and harass them and demoralize them at every turn. ... Those who create a world where might makes right think that they can live in a separate world of safety and comity; that's their delusion, and they commit their acts of horror to maintain the delusion. But it's a delusion all the same. They live in the world they've created, too. Eventually, if they are not stopped, somebody is going to meet them on their terms, and meet their outrageous persistent violence with a violent reply. I'm not saying this because it's what I want. I'm saying this because that's what happens in a world where might makes right, where death squads execute civilians in the street and the leaders who sent them tell bald-faced lies about it, where guns are deemed a fundamental right of every citizen because every citizen should be permitted to use their guns against government tyranny. Anyone who makes such a world eventually draws such a response.
Liberation from tyranny is also liberation for the tyrants.
Many will point out that this sort of response is exactly what the fascists seem to want, and I will agree with you, but point out in return that the reason they want it is that they know from long experience that any moment of perceived violent resistance in response to their ongoing violent abuse is the moment when many people—even people who otherwise oppose them and their abuses—will instinctively return to our learned culture of abuse, will stop telling the victim's story and start telling theirs, will start ignoring who is in power and who is not, and will start explaining why the abuse is now justified because the protestors gave them exactly what they wanted, will completely ignore that using violence—and specifically guns—to kill tyrannical authority is an idea held close and dear by Republicans, and a world in which violence remains such an ever-present option exists specifically because of their policies. If this moment—which I do not call for or hope for or seek—arrives, it will not be an abuse that the abuser is suffering, but a consequence they are experiencing for the world they have created. And when the fascists do what fascists do, which is escalate their abuses in response, many—even those who oppose the fascists—will be tempted to claim that the fault is that of whoever met the fascists on their own terms, rather than the fascists themselves. If and when we do so, we begin telling the abuser's story for them.
"A change of heart is good, and we should foster it and encourage it wherever we see it. However, be cautious of somebody who claims a change of heart but refuses to walk in a new direction, or insists that somebody else carry them down the path, for you are neither dealing with redemption or a change of heart, but just another tactic for avoiding cost."
