the modern villainisation of demeter will never cease to enrage me bc it wasn’t ENOUGH to just take a story of a girl being torn from her home from everyone who loved her and dragged away to be forced into marriage and twist and corrupt it until it was a romance story about female empowerment that wasn’t ENOUGH they HAD to take the original hero of the story the mother who went to every length to find her daughter again to bring her home and demonise her character until she was this horrific overbearing unloving mother. overprotective controlling without love. they turn the story of her grief at her YOUNG daughter being torn from her without her knowledge into the story of a misunderstood bad boy and a horrible cruel mother who won’t give him a chance and i really find it sickening. it’s ironic, that the ever misogynist age of hellenistic greece, has a better grasp of how disgusting and horrifying this situation was that a modern, self proclaimed ‘feminist’ era.
I FINALLY BLOCKED HIS FUCKING ASS!
so did that the vampire get the job
Thing is, I'm not just anti-fatphobia as in "I don't want people to be mean to fat people"
I am pro fat liberation as in "I want to dismantle the systemic biases against fat people and the diet culture and medical industrial complex that feeds into the very real systemic oppression that fat people face"
I don't see fatphobia as a mere interpersonal issue where if you are being nice to fat people or saying things in a polite way to them you're automatically free of fatphobia. I see it as essential to challenge every bit of diet culture myth that we might encounter and break the unscientific ideas of "health" as defines by weight, fat, calories, bmi, and other nonsense. I see it as essential to view fatphobia as the political issue it is and take it seriously as such, and to unlearn and help others unlearn oppressive baseless ideas we have assumed to be true and natural.
always scary when mutuals change urls
Thinking about the dichotomy of "I feel uncomfortable/triggered in the presence of x/y/z environments I would like to be someplace without that" that I constantly see online and when I tell my therapist I really get uncomfortable when people raise their voices around me even if they aren't actually mad and her response of "you can only control your own reactions and emotions, it's not really fair to police others on how they should exist in your presence" and honestly it sucks to hear but she's right.. it's good to have people be conscientious of what triggers you but really it's up to us to do the hard work of building that emotional resilience. The idea of people around me having to be hypervigilant of what they say and do lest I start getting dysregulated does not sound fun at all, I want people to feel comfortable being themselves around me and that means training my dumb lizard brain to chill tf out. Living in a constant state of avoidance sucks ass for everyone involved.
if your support of decolonization (anywhere) is predicated on your view of the colonized people as exceptionally peaceable, equitable, environmentally conscious/“in touch” with nature, or otherwise morally superior by your own personal standards, it’s not support. the only moral high ground colonized people need to justify decolonization is …. not being the colonizer
They call me Michael Myers in the club the way I just stand there

Literally never seen a blog get deleted as hard as they deleted predstrogen. Every image on every post regardless of content just gone. Swear to God staff invents new moderation tools for the people they hire to target trans women with. No reasons, No TOS violations, just fucking voiding a random trans woman instead of any of the thousands of hateful TERF or Nazi blogs. Tumblr REALLY hates transwomen despite the fact that transwomen carry this fucking site.
message to all leftists: understand that landlords are bad because they are extorting you in exchange for a basic necessity of survival, not because they are "lazy" or "don't have real jobs"
[on the verge of having a complete breakdown] i need to make some kind of list or perhaps sort things into categories
hey i’m nosy
there’s uuuuh obviously a lot i could’ve listed, so pick whichever category’s closest
we honestly need to debunk the myth of the “warm pillow and blankie in bed.” the blankie is not warm it is a SCAM when the blankie “keeps you warm and cozy” it is because of YOUR natural body heat that blankie just holds in. thats right. youre doing most of the work and your blankie is taking the credit. but really what can you expect these days
Happy Tu Bishvat (think of it as Jewish Arbor Day)!
Instead of the Zionist practice of planting invasive pine trees, you can sponsor planting of olive trees in Palestine here: https://zatoun.com/product/trees-for-life/
The program is called Trees for Life. You can also sign up for updates from Zatoun for when their olive oil is back in stock!
babygirl i sit hunched in ways you’d never fuckin believe
