My things are misinformation, education, and sociology so I absolutely see how that could be confused with conspiratorial thinking.

So. New rule. If you think I’m going too far out on a limb, assume I’m not, tag me in a separate post. Don’t accidentally spread misinformation in my replies.

Do me a favor: remember that to non-Black people, I am Black. No one else has to acknowledge it but non-Black people treat me as a Black woman anyway, so it’s best to consciously recognize that.

Facts. Oppressors hate it when those they've oppressed are able to rise above em. The oppressors crave revenge.

We need to actively start teaching men consent

I‘ve heard the whole “they’ll use it as a weapon“ before but I’d rather they have recorded instances of taking a class on consent going into a criminal trial than people infantilizing how they ”didn’t know” boundaries.

Definitely two things can be true situation. It’s relevant when the crimes against humanity commissioner is like, “no… that’s too many crimes against humanity. Commission revoked.”

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

ALSO. ALSO. Needing us to find Europeans who condemned him for his actions at the time--and there are many! So many! My God so many!--is also some white supremacist bullshit, because the TAINO PEOPLE HE WAS MURDERING CERTAINLY CONDEMNED HIM FOR IT AND THEY WERE HUMAN BEINGS OF HIS TIME TOO.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

“Why are you standing on your head?” asked Frog.

“I hope that if I stand on my head, it will help me to think of a story,” said Toad.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

I am a woman, you are telling me I don’t understand or don’t get to decide what misogyny is?

🪡 Ether GhostLace 🪡 (she/her—illiteratis did this) @laceslibgremlin.bsky.social · 36m

If we start encircling the transmisogynists from both them being misogynists and them being transphobes maybe we can corner them, because I am sick of them in public

Full disrespect: anyone working with JK Rowling is also a regular misogynist

Certainly a surprising argument being made on the side of JK “I’m going go make it my mission to ensure we don’t have to figure out how to live with trans people” Rowling

right … which is .. what so many of us are asking for as trans people ???

Keira Knightley said that before joining the voice cast of Audible's "Harry Potter: The Full Cast Audio
Editions,
" she was "not aware" of the fan boycott
of all things "Harry Potter" over J.K. Rowling's statements about the transgender community:
"You know, I think we're all living in a period of time right now where we're all going to have to figure out how to live together, aren't we? And we've all got very different opinions. I hope that we can all find respect."

Hating trans people is not a valid opinion and never will be.

“Why can’t we all get along?” is code for “Shut up and stop bothering me with your petty ethical concerns.”

What I love about all these celebs who are trying to save their reputation by playing ignorant is that this only works the quieter that lunatic JK is. You know, the person who just started dropping Hitler quotes to millions of people around the time their tired ass audiobook cast got announced.
