I have no clue who Ari Drennen is but Marxist transsexual here. Trans women are some of the most violently lumpenproletarianized people on the planet. Trans women do not own the means of production which is what would make us bourgeois. We are violently barred from the traditional job market.

Hey #portfolioday, I'm Tadpole (they) and I'm a writer and artist who decided that I can probably do both! Been published in Atelier Arcadia, DMsGuild and Lone Colossus Games, and here's to many more~

Israeli settlers continue to wage war on Palestinians in the West Bank and elsewhere. They are breaking into people's homes, stealing their stuff, trashing their homes and sometimes kidnapping and killing people. This is happening NOW. People should know this.

Incredible that in year 5785 people keep picking fights with Derek and think they’re going to come out ahead

no quarter given lmao

Oh honey what is you doing

like a master of qigong, he redirects the flow of clout from others and, cultivating it within himself, he manifests an enlightened awareness of the Three Treasures of a Poster: likes, replies and retweets.

screencaps flow from his dantien like breathe, his quotes are like a roaring waterfall.

a foundational belief of the modern right is that there is no such thing as organic disagreement with their policies, it’s all directed from the top down

they just can’t conceive that ordinary people find them horrifying

Its fucking covid. Its fucking covid. Its fucking covid. Wear a fucking mask. Wear a fucking mask, wear a fucking mask

A good example is that in the UK, the income penalty for being a queer man is much, much smaller than in the US. Before their horrible backsliding, they were more queer friendly than us. And the UK is like, the bottom of the barrel in many ways, they still have that monarchy after all!

I wouldn't compare the US to someplace like Sweden, which is a whole hell of a lot more monoethnic, or *Germany*? But Canada, the UK, and Australia are better comparisons. And before it ALSO got on a wild fascism kick fueled by transphobia, the UK had better treatment of its minorities than us.

That's not entirely, singularly, the result of propaganda, but cultural soft power through our media production is designed to present the exact inaccurate "most wonderful place on earth" propaganda to attract immigrants that we then abuse.

Some of the most recent drama going through the black online community has to do with black Americans travelling and even staying in other majority black countries, and being rude asses, because they find it more enjoyable living there. *Truly* some of this effect is our propaganda.

We have good propaganda. That's uh, literally something we put a lot of effort into producing, both re: military might and in the wonderfulness of living here in our programming. There are a number of "ex-pat" Americans who now live in Europe who don't want to return!

Are you...an immigrant? I feel like this is relevant, because I thought we were comparing "being a US citizen" to "being a citizen of somewhere else" neither first gen immigrants. Because the US is not current winning the immigration fight with...most anywhere in the west in the moment.

I'd also like to push back on Golden Age re: racism and queer people in general since the Civil Rights Era. Both the War on Drugs and the AIDS crisis happened from government choice. That was just in the 80's and 90's. And besides, they keep killing black CR leaders in this country.

I wouldn't know about being Latina re: Australia, but I've got trans friends in Australia, and they are not currently facing down what we are, so this *feels* like American exceptionalism posting. Truly, it can be a lot better than this!

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

Transphobes often rely on a contradiction of thought—that transition is converting GNC kids, but there's nothing wrong with being a feminine boy/masculine girl.

AND

That a problem of transition is that many trans women are masculine and many trans men are feminine.

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

We’re on a speedrun to bluesky banning anti ai hate speech but leaving anti trans hate speech awesome
