Some women are conditioned to be fragile and weak, and to believe that it's a sin to outperform a man. Her feminism would involve allowing women to be strong.

Some women are expected to be strong at times when they can't. Her feminism would involve reassuring her that it's okay to not be strong.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're too stupid to ever amount to anything. Their disability activism would involve reassuring them that they're capable.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're smart and gifted, and are expected to live up to impossible standards. Their disability activism would involve allowing them to fail, make mistakes, be stupid, etc.

Some children are constantly reminded "you're the child, I'm the adult" in order to deny their autonomy. Their youth rights activism would involve treating them like an adult at times when they feel ready for it.

Some children are treated like adults in order to justify increased expectations or to downplay abuse against them. Their youth rights activism would involve allowing them to be a child.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to oppression. Each individual person's experience is different. Whatever trauma is caused by their oppression, the activism should focus on undoing it.

i took the liberty of compiling some of the best JUICE quotes which is to say most of them because everything JUICE says is fucking gold

the lunchables introspection:

the birth of the nonbinary icon the world needs and deserves and the subsequent comments about people stepping on garden hoes:

and who could forget their enlightening criticisms of the x-men’s wolverine:

anyway i love JUICE and the strange multi media experience that is football 17776

Sometimes Tumblr is a lot like trying to explain a toddler that you can't eat bugs and spiders because that's bad for you, and then someone shows up to lecture you about how spiders are a completely different class from insects, also you got "centipede" and "millipede" mixed up, so obviously you don't know anything about what you're talking about.

And if you try to answer like "do you want me to just let this kid just eat bugs or what", they'll get offended because correcting you about being wrong has nothing to do with implying that anyone would be eating bugs off the ground, obviously nobody is stupid enough to be doing that in the first place, that's a straw man and insulting to every group of people ever.

And then you look up at the other side of the yard and the toddler is there right back at it, slurping up centipedes like spagetti.

breaks my heart how in the grand scheme of things, V the person is insignificant. the world moves on. the merc circles put V's name on the wall of fame and tease each other about it, never for once pausing to consider V was an actual living human being with fears, dreams, and aspirations

johnny silverhand and V are star-crossed lovers, soulmates ill-fated to clash into one another. before the relic, johnny silverhand was to V what V is to the new generation of mercs -- a name that meant a lot back in the day and now is barely a memory. an idea to get behind. death to corps, fuck arasaka, go out with a bang, get a drink named after you.

johnny's ID has a V in it. V has a J+V 4EVAH<3 tattoo on the forearm. V's known for being a nutjob obsessed with silverhand to an unhealthy extent, but also for being a legendary solo despite the fanboyism.

nobody remembers who johnny aspired to be like, if anyone. the new gen of mercs aspire to be like V, who's known to be a big johnny fan. they don't know any better, and i think it's beautiful, actually.

generations upon generations of cyberpunks and edgerunners building off the backs of each other, but you can always trace the influences of the legends in them.

valentinos use letter 'v' now to both mark themselves as well as their connection to heywood-born V. Valentinos paint murals in V's likeness. someone sporting samurai merch in the street is likely a fan of V, not of the original band. V's weapons of choice, preferred car, jackie's arch nazare -- all become a staple of an up and coming edgerunner. sure, older gen would call em posers, like they haven't been picking up santiago's and blackhand's and rockerboy's styles back in their days.

v may be gone but the impact on night city remains.

Hmmm I know octopuses are generally sweet and gentle and are just curious sea puppies (and I love them!), that being said, the thoughts of being dragged by my feet by one of them into the deep and dark ocean is… safe to say new fear has been unlocked
