I just want everyone to be careful. There seems to be an increase of right-wingers on Tumblr lately (at least I'm getting them put on my radar more often), including the ""enlightened centrist"" types. it may be tempting to call them out, but you're better off just blocking those people. no meaningful conversation will result from interaction with them.

genuinely so funny to me how Emily fr just ripped off the whole flag so now her version - which is literally just flipped, how unoriginal - is seen as THE lesbian flag. she's like some lesbian messiah to people for creating THE flag, and it's not even her design. you can't just flip someone else's creation and call it your own💀

@butchspace I loooooove your orange butch flag. and i thought it’d be cool to splice together the lipstick lesbian & orange butch flag. as well as add the More Color More Pride stripes.

and mod T from butchspace suggested a great idea of having the white stripe symbolize those who dont ID as femme or butch.

 i think this combo would be a great flag for the general lesbian community. i always see the lipstick femme flag used as the default for the lesbian community on tumblr. which is an act that treats femininity as the default, and makes butches feel left out and ignored.

So much of what society treats as a joke is just mocking disability. Their idea of lazy is a disabled person trying to survive, whether that be living with their parents as an adult or using pre prepared food. Cringe culture is based entirely around mocking neurodivergent people and their interests. Symptoms and characteristics of disability such as urgency issues, drooling, tremors, tics, strabismus and speech impediments are used as cheap punchlines.

In children’s tv shows disabled characters such as those with speech impediments are treated as a joke, with symptoms of disability being portrayed as synonymous to stupid.

This idea is being taught from a young age in the media and it’s engrained into our language and culture. This goes beyond jokes, it contributes to the alienation of people with disabilities.

Once you start noticing these things you realise how constant and normalised it is.

Reducing an entire person to a punchline is wrong. Using a disability symptom as an insult is wrong. It’s disturbing how normalised it is to not treat people with basic decency and respect.

Sorry, you can't murder murderers.

Sorry, you can't castrate rapists and pedophiles.

Sorry, you can't use the worst offenders in society as unconsenting lab rats in medical research.

Sorry, you can't decide that theres any point of evil in which someone's fundamental human rights no longer exist. Yes, even if they have violated the fundamental human rights of others. What exactly do you think the term "inalienable" means?

If you believe that NOBODY deserves it, then NOBODY deserves it. Full stop. You can not pick and choose, even when you hate that person, even when they are unquestionably, undeniably evil and remorseless. There is no point where that no longer applies.

"But that's unfair!" Protecting inalienable human rights for EVERYONE is more important than things being perfectly fair

"But they're evil!" See above.

"But their existence is a threat to others!" When do you get to decide when living human beings live or die? I thought you didn't like it when THEY did that

"But it makes me feel icky!" I dont care. Suck it up, muffin.

it is my hope and dream that everyone on tumblr can go outside and visit a gay bar or go to a queer event and see that our community is very beautiful and very diverse and that half the internet discourse isn’t real
