consider three apples. now consider what "three" means in the absence of any apples, a three totally divorced from quantity. and consider that when you aren't looking, the numbers fuck each other

Trans women will be placed in subordinate roles, as caregivers or sex objects, yet when we complain about our circumstances, our frankly sexist treatment, we are then made out to aggressive angry monsters, in line with our "innate biological maleness" in order to shut us down.

In an abusive relationship the abuser will always have a justification for their behaviour, yet if their victim complains or steps out of line, then the victims behaviour is utterly unjustifiable to the abuser. To the abuser, the victim is always to blame.

From this transmisogyny can be viewed as creating a class of the perfect victims of abuse, whose reactions to their own exploitation is never justified.

A lot of people like to explain consent in sexual encounters as “No means no.” This is true, but doesn’t capture as many crucial parts of happy fun sex and experiences as “Yes means yes!” Consent should always be informed and enthusiastic, never coerced, and you and your partner should be looking for consent continuously. Stay safe, stay happy, and have fun!

FMA is fascinating because there aren't many works about what it means to be an atheist and a heretic to a god that you can not only see, but who has personally snatched body parts off of your living body and made fun of you for it.

Project 2025 ain't gonna roll out all at once. So what we're gonna wanna do is make passing each individual part of it as difficult as possible, so there's less to undo once we finally get this country back on the rails.

first semester studying marine biology: wow i'm really learning a lot about the ocean ^_^ i can't wait to get out in the field in a couple years and do my part to make the world a better place ^_^

third semester studying marine biology: the intersection of capitalism, imperialism, socioeconomic injustice, and environmental destruction has turned me into david lynch's cartoon of the dog that is so angry it cannot move. anti littering campaigns aren't enough i need to guillotine every petrochemical executive and stick their heads on pikes on the white house lawn

since we're getting closer to canada's election year and i plan on doing my part to help educate voters, here are two exceedingly simplified graphics for my international viewers on what we're dealing with here. tldr: canada is tired of trudeau (the liberal party) and things are starting to lean a bit too right-wing for comfort.

i am compelled to remind canadians that the NDP is our leftmost leaning party and our best chance at getting some tangible, beneficial change for everyone and not just some people.

the NDP have been pushing for universal basic income and damn,, what a dream it would be to have it

also: instead of the "democrat vs republican" that the states has, we're dealing with "democrat vs liberal vs conservative vs french vs green vs alt right". we're playing chess with six players on the board and yes, it's a mess.

I am very passionate about how Portal is a very feminist game. I see a lot of people say that Portal is progressive because it could’ve had a protagonist of interchangeable gender, and that Chell being a woman affects nothing. But it completely does! Chell being a woman is inherent to the plot and theming of the narrative! Portal is progressive because it depicts corporate exploitation of women and actively shows a woman perservering and overcoming that abuse!!!

[id: an ingame poster from portal 2 showing a robot wearing a dress shirt and tie standing in front of a desk where a human scientist woman is seated. The poster's text says: "Karla the Complainer Says... 'My new boss is a robot!'

But did you know...?

Robots are smarter than you.

Robots work harder than you.

Robots are better than you.
