A PSA about the latest Vulture article to drop about Neil Gaiman -
Do not fucking read it if you are not in a stable state of mind.
Triggers include, but dare I say, are not limited to -
Sexual assault and misconduct
Anal, digital, oral, and vaginal rape
Forced urine/faeces consumption
Vomit/forced vomit consumption
Financial abuse
Gaslighting and manipulation
Sexual conduct in front of a minor
Sexual humiliation and degradation
Disordered eating, anorexia, and bulemia
Suicide, suicidal ideation
Self-harm
Child abuse
Scientology
Cult abuse
Drowning
Corporeal punishment
Intentionally painful penetration
Exploitation
Grooming
Most of these things are discussed in explicit detail multiple times.
It's harrowing and heartbreaking to read. Even if these are not specifically triggers of yours, I beg, take a second to really have a think about whether you're in a place to take this on.

It didn’t hit me until recently that people genuinely think Kamala Harris was a police officer because of all the people who call her a cop online.
Like I think maybe it’s important people should know she was a prosecutor. She was once a district attorney and later an attorney general for the state of California. And we can discuss how related that is to police work and how tied she is to the carceral system etc etc (but for fairness would have to include her record of pushing for lowering incarceration rates through programs helping former prisoners + her office refusing to jail folks for low level weed offense). But she was never a police officer. Like people should get that clear. Kamala Harris was never a police officer. She was a district attorney. She was never a police officer.
People make a lot of good "thank god I'm not a kid anymore" posts about like school bullies or homework or puberty. But actually my #1 top of the "thank god I'm not a kid anymore" list is the fact that I can leave the event when I want to.
Any event I'm at! I can say "okay well I'm tired I'm going home goodbye." Could not do that shit as a kid. If you're a kid it's like yeah you will sit here at your brother's soccer game in the cold for the next 1.5 hours. You will sit here at your sibling's football practice. You will stay at this BBQ until the whole family is done with the BBQ. You are stuck at the mall until mom finds the pants she needs. You are stuck at the grocery store. No we don't know how long. You are stuck at band practice. It's running late but you're not allowed to leave. You are stuck at the party that the adults said you're leaving soon but they keep talking to these 2 people who showed up late. What the Fuck.
Getting married was a form of trauma for me and I genuinely try not to think about my wedding at all. So many things went wrong because my support network basically collapsed before my eyes and I was left entirely alone while my husband and I had to personally ensure that the things I wanted to happen ACTUALLY happened.
I didn't wear my expensive veil because my mom fucked off and completely forgot even though I made this her only job.
My wedding planner didn't play the song I specifically chose for me to walk down the aisle because of some bullshit reason.
My brother in law basically got bored and let his computer die so the music stopped playing during the reception.
My MOH never offered to help once, which maybe would've been nice but fuck me I guess.
I also spent an hour cleaning up with my husband and his parents. This was on top of 2 hours of sleep.
Marriage is going fine, fyi, but my life is completely unchanged, and I don't know why I bothered with the ceremony.
imagine you knew a dude and you were pretty chill with him, maybe you were friends but youre not really sure, but one day he just starts attacking you and gets taken away by the cops and you never see him again. a few months later you go to a play with your new group of friends and you find out via the play he died. thats how zuko felt watching jet die in the ember island players episode
zuko watching stage jet play around in some trees with the original trio: oh cool I didn’t know you guys knew jet. i met him once on a trip to ba sing se, we stole some food, got into the city, had a fight, and he was hauled off by the dai li and i havent seen him since lol
zuko watching stage jet get brainwashed and die: WHAT THE FUCK

i am currently experiencing unbearable ableist abuse at my shelter, it's severely affecting my mental health, and i might have to go back to my abuser because of it
pylinks -
ppal | vmo | cshapp | w*shlist
more info under the cut to make this post shorter for your dash - please please read and i would prefer it if you didnt trigger warn or tag as b**st or don*tions or m*tual a*d, as it affects visibility
hi. so tl;dr i am multiply disabled with several severe, potentially life-threatening chronic illnesses. i have a catheter placed in my belly to help me drain urine, a port in my chest to hydrate me efficiently and regulate my heart rate and blood pressure, am on 16 different medications, and use rollator around the house part time and an electric wheelchair outside of the house full time. i am also immunocompromised and extremely prone to infection - i currently have rsv, a kidney infection, and an infection of my nose piercing
i am currently at a dv shelter to escape abuse from a family member. unfortunately, my roommates have become extremely abusive towards me due to my disabilities inconveniencing them. i have to sleep trapped in a room with them and the harassment is constant at this point
staff won't do much because the abuse mostly happens in our room where they cameras arent placed. i put in for a transfer, but there are no other shelters available and i have been waiting for three weeks, which is when the abuse became unbearable
there was an instance last week where one of my roommates threw an item while in a rage, hitting me in my bed. when i told staff about it, they made it escalate to both roommates beinf aggressive because it made me a "snitch". this was the only time things got physical, luckily, but they are trying their hardest to run me out
i am autistic with severe cptsd and a complex dissociative disorder. this situation is greatly affecting my mental health to the point of near constant sui ideation and occasional catatonia. i am starting to forget things that happen more than before. i tried calling the dv crisis line but they told me i have to go thru my shelter and hung up
because of this, i am finding it extremely tempting to go back to my abuser's home. its not at all ideal and honestly downright dangerous, but at the very least if im there ill have the opportunity to spend some time with my little sibling and my cat before the inevitable blow-up causing me to re-enter the dv system
i am waiting to hear from staff tomorrow, as the supervisor isnt on site today. if they cant/wont do a safety transfer, i will have to stay at a hotel for a few days so that i can transition to my moms house due to her fear of getting my bedbug issue. i will have to abandon all my clothes, my phone, and mobility aids in storage for however long i am there. i have a few clothing items there, and a spare phone, but unfortunately not much else, meaning that i will be trapped at my abuser's house. unfortunately, it's the only way that i can think of getting out of this situation - if i go back to my abuser, i will at least be able to get a fresh(ish) start with the dv system when i have to run and will likely be put into a different shelter
i will be reposting/adding to my amazon wishlist so that i can get some items that i will need if i am forced to go to my mom's in a few days. i also need help raising $ for 2 days at a hotel room, as well as ubers from storage to the hotel to my moms house etc. i wont have any mobility aids, so i will probably have to get at least a rollator while i am there. i have not yet calculated the cost of all this, but it is likely in the mid hundreds at the very least, so anything at all helps!
found out from urgent care that rsv is contagious for as long as you have symptoms. my infections last longer than most people's, which means that i probably will be contagious for longer. because of this, going to my abuser's house currently isnt even an option since my younger sibling has an autoimmune disease that can be triggered by infections.
as it is, it looks like i will either have to stay here or find a hotel. i am talking to the shelter supervisor tomorrow to hopefully work out a solution that keeps me from having to go back to my abuser. honestly, though, looking at how things are and how badly my mental health is affected by being here, going back feels pretty inevitable at this point
currently have $331 after having to purchase some food yesterday and my catheter drainage bags today. i also had to buy another duffel bag, as the big one i had before got stolen and i have more items now than what i came with. more detailed update under cut-
still not sure where to go from here. i talked to the supervisor and there doesnt seem to be much that can be done since one of my rms is refusing to do a mediation and they dont have "proof" of how my roommates are treating me. im not allowed to record for confidentiality reasons so my only option is to call staff while im being bullied to give them evidence, but a lot of times its all just "little" jabs, so there's never time to make the phone call
the staff member i spoke told me that obviously its my own choice if i leave and that they could drive me to the bus stop as well, so there's that lmao. she also said that she is going to talk to HER supervisor to see if they can find a solution.
i would be out of here already, but i'm a week into an rsv infection and, again, my brother is immunocompromised, so i will have to wait to feel better no matter what unfortunately 😔
just gonna keep trying to save the money i receive and im gonna start going thru my things and organizing them now for if/when i need to toss everything into storage and go to my mom's for a bit 💔
oh I forgot to update you all cuz i had a medical emergency this morning and then fell asleep for 8 hours lol - so last night one of my roommates left the shelter for good. the other one is still here but with that one gone I am going to try and see if things change because she was kind of the dominant one in the bullying situation. still trying to leave obviously but it's less urgent for now and I am going to try and wait it out until the shelter finds me somewhere to transfer to. oh and also i found out today that they approved me for smi designation which will give me access to more resources. yay!

Since sociological/psychological research is mostly fraudulent and, to the extent that it's not, is falsified post-facto by selective publication and reporting, committing to making social policy on the basis of "science" just means submitting to the arbitrary preferences of the class of professionals who conduct and report on this research. If you think they'll always be on your side, then great. But when the day comes that this class of people happens not to take your side on something, you'll be sorry that you grounded your politics in a false scientism rather than on a set of interests and principles not subject to this kind of arbitrary manipulation.
yeah, reading Claudine Gay's papers was amazing, like, this is how far you can get in life publishing complete bullshit as long as the conclusion is that it's important to have racial diversity in Congress. Like, having a black Congressman in a district increases black political engagement, and for everyone who wants to say "correlation isn't causation", first deal with the fact that my dataset doesn't even have exit polls or anything else that would tell me how many black people voted, just separate turnout and racial composition statistics for the district. (actual discussion of the statistical method she used here, there's assumptions under which it would work, which she doesn't address, instead just giving the reader boilerplate on how "political choices are contingent on the surrounding environment"). I bet everyone would rip apart this level of statistical analysis from a climate change denier and say it demonstrates the importance of trusting the experts. Experts like a Harvard political science professor? They're judging based on political acceptability of conclusions, not reliability of estimates. That's why you can become president of Harvard with so little understanding of your statistical methods that you can't even explain them in your own words: as the central thesis of your research career becomes increasingly fashionable, ride the wave.

I find it kind of irksome that TERFs think they can co-opt radical feminist theory even while many radical feminists have stood up for trans rights. I opened this link out of curiosity to find authors like Catharine Mackinnon, Andrea Dworkin, and Angela Davis, who explicitly support trans and GNC people.
Leave these women out of your transphobia. They don't want any part of it.

re: that last post, ive said it before and ill say it again: no one deserves to die (deserving is fake and death is bad) but some people need to be stopped and choose to make death the only way to stop them
denying the humanity of people who do horrible things accomplishes exactly three things:
give cover to people who haven't been caught yet by allowing them to use their humanity as "proof" of their innocence
silence any criticism of societal structures and institutions that facilitate those horrible things by putting the focus on individuals who are assumed to be so uniquely monstrous that the ways it was made easy for them are irrelevant
provide a shortcut to dehumanize anyone you feel like killing: simply accuse them of doing a horrible thing
3.a. if you've already established that only an inhuman monster could kill a child, then all you have to do to get people to burn down the jewish quarter is say that jews kidnap christian children to bathe in their blood
3.b. if you've already established that only an inhuman monster could commit rape, then all you have to do to get people to string up a black man you don't like is find a white woman who's willing to point at him while she cries and babbles
3.c. if you've already established that only an inhuman monster could molest a child, then all you have to do to get people to drag gay people behind their trucks is say that since gay people can't have babies, the only way they can make more gay people is by following a nefarious Agenda to "convert" children by molesting them
3.c.a. meanwhile if you try to address the rampant sexual assault of catholic altar boys, you're met with "don't be ridiculous, he's a priest!" (see #1) and with assertions that even if it does happen sometimes, those priests are just infiltrators who don't represent the church and there's no reason to make sure priests and altar boys are never alone together (see #2)
tl;dr: your disgust-based violent politics are not less reactionary than any run-of-the-mill homophobe or racist's disgust-based violent politics
