You should be able to say “don’t touch me” to anyone ever in any context and not have it be considered in the realm of surprising or insulting imho if we ever needed to normalize something it’s this

we need a song romanticizing Dayton Ohio. to make it easier to drive 17 hours to Dayton Ohio. I’m listening to songs about other places on this drive and pretending they’re about Dayton. Wagon Wheel but replace Raleigh with Dayton. Chicago by Sufjan Stevens. Now it’s Kettering. Trying to reimagine Country Roads but the geography references make it difficult. Alaska by Maggie Rogers just plain doesn’t work.

Anyway, daily reminder from a culturally isolated Romani person.

Gypsy does not mean wanderer.

It literally means ‘people from egypt’ or similar, as europeans believed Romani people were from Egypt. It has become known similar to nomad due to how our ancestors have been forced to be nomadic due to racism and ostracization, but it is a SLUR.

Romani people are STILL being forcibly sterilized.

Romani people are STILL being forced into ghettos.

Romani people are still facing violence and danger in countless European countries- and recently, I’ve seen the beginnings of the extremes in the United States.

Have a little fucking respect and DON’T USE A SLUR THAT’S BEEN USED FOR CENTURIES AGAINST US.

And for the love of whatever’s up there, ESPECIALLY do not use it to describe your witchcraft. It is playing on the ‘magic gypsy’ trope, and is EXTREMELY insulting.

non romani people, please reblog this.

It's that magical day of the year—Happy Threshold Day! 🦎🦎🦎

I'm celebrating with very silly crossover art. Don't ask me for the logic behind these, because I don't even understand it myself.

developing a new (probably not) theory of transphobia called it's all misogyny

[emerald-truth]

noooo trans person don’t mistake your dysphoria-based apathy towards transition and your assumption that it can’t make you more happy with yourself as radical acceptance of your body that proves you don’t need (or more internally, deserve) hormones and gender affirming clothes, nothing will really happen but god you could be so much more fulfilled and could stop whenever you want if you don’t like it… crossdress in your room TODAY

i’m glad the voyager writers didn’t pursue harry/seven because there’s no way it wouldn’t have ended up being ultimately detrimental to the characters just like every other romance on the show was but it also would’ve made the janeway/seven dynamic just that much more fucked up which would’ve been a lot of fun

everybody go watch this short film neow
