Regarding a lot of trends in a lot of societies, I just want to reiterate a very simple thing: the moment you refuse to take responsibility, you take a voluntary step towards losing your rights.

Fun

i saw so many posts today abt how there’s no time for tears, how we need to “get off our asses” and stand up and fight. well i think there’s a place for tears, and for feeling sad and upset and angry. we��ll have plenty of time for action but we need to allow ourselves a little time to mourn. take things slower this week, wear your favorite clothes, treat yourself. we have to have a healthy relationship with ourselves before we can create societal change. please stay safe, our time will come 💙

Uh- are you aware of the meaning of proship?

Proship has never meant anything except a combination of three ideas:

Ship and let ship (your ships don't harm me and vice-versa) and YKINMK (your kink is not my kink, and that's okay; my kink stories don't harm you and vice-versa)

Harassment over fiction is not acceptable

Censorship of fiction is not acceptable either

Any other definitions are made by antis, not proshippers, and are an attempt at revisionism to justify harassment based on false claims.

On twitter I’m seeing dozens of threads from Black activists warning people against burnout, giving all sorts of useful tips about preventing and managing it for the sake of a long-term, sustainable effort.

On tumblr I’m seeing a hell of a lot of young white kids yelling at anyone who actually follows those steps, and acting like burnout is a moral falling rather than a well-proven psychological phenomenon.

Be careful who you get your information from. Don’t let guilt lead you to make choices that will harm both you and the movement.

saw this on Facebook and thought "wow that's pretty helpful I'm going to share it on tumblr, i'll just crop off the thing about the tick that got left out" but then I read the comments and decided I had to share those too because same

[kvietka]

I wonder how many people on tumblr who are sharing posts about never killing yourself and suicide hotlines are also the same ones who told Jews to go die in Poland because we asked them not to promote fascist beliefs.

In 1998, Texas police broke into the house of a gay man and his boyfriend and arrested them for sodomy. It was not until 2003 that these convictions would be overturned as part of the Lawrence v Texas ruling. If you are in your 20s chances are you are older than gay sex being federally legal. Keep that in mind when Clarence Thomas retires in a year hoping to get a likeminded replacement.

Has anything actually gotten better, for all the work you talk about doing? Or is it just treading water in misery forever?

Anon, ten years ago gay people couldn't get married in large parts of the US. AIDS was an almost certain death sentence when I was in high school. I was looking at job boards the other day and found a part time gas station job that had health insurance as a benefit, which NEVER would have happened 15 years ago. When I was a kid, hitting your child was extremely normalized in the US and my parents were the weird ones for not doing it. There is a vaccine for chicken pox. I didn't meet anyone who had transitioned until my 20s because it was so uncommon to transition in the aughts, and now there are some states that protect your right to have gender affirming care provided by your health insurance. It's not all states, but it's better than the number of states that had it in 2010, which was zero. THERE ARE TENANTS UNIONS NOW. WE HAVE A VACCINE AGAINST CERVICAL CANCER.

And all of that has been the work of a lot of individuals and organizations and research teams and activists.
