Not only is JK rowling (along with Elon Musk) officially being sued by Khelif, Rowling hasn't tweeted once in almost a whole week since all this made headlines, which is APPARENTLY significant because six days is the longest she has ever shut the fuck up

(american) normies’ opinions on nudity are so funny like wdym you think other human bodies are an innately traumatic thing to witness that we need to protect the innocent from. everyone has one everyones seen one unless u dont own mirrors and never shower I guess. ppl get so weird about it I really do not understand

do u remember when the wider feminist position on gendered sport was that we should abolish it, and that women's accomplishments can be measured side by side (& indeed, neck and neck) with men's? what the fuck happened to that? (*whispering* i know what happened. it was the terf movement.)

ok but like. there are two different types of privilege. there's type a "everybody should have this, but some people don't" and type b "nobody should have this, but some people do"

there's having parents who can pay for your application to any college, and then there's having parents who can bribe your way into any college. there's owning your own home, and then there's owning 50 houses and getting rich off hoarding a vital resource. there's not fearing for your life whenever cops are around, and then there's being the cop and being allowed to murder anyone at any time.

idk i just feel like that's an important distinction to make.

transmisogyny and transphobia has done such a number on feminism and the fact that its bled into the mainstream is actually oustanding......... if someone in 2014 said that women are biologically and intellectually weaker than men thered be a buzzfeed article mocking them in the hour, now it's like. policy.

i am always the bitch who's like. that's actually not true :) your brain does not stop developing at 25 or ever :) love languages can be a useful vocabulary but is not real :) a lot of the personality disorders you villainize are responses to immense pain and fear :) stop trying to sort the complexity of human experience into HARRY POTTER HOUSES pleaseee think critically abt what u are being told and who's telling u this. why would someone want u to believe that u aren't fully capable of decision making until 25? psych has been a tool to oppress since it was created, don't buy into it!

An Open Letter To My Grandfather

Why didn’t you die instead of her? My grandmother was kind, loving, and gentle. You infected her and your family with hate and abuse. These things lie dormant in us all because of you. Did it make you feel good taking advantage of a disabled woman who couldn’t defend her own children from the abuse you inflicted upon them? 

Remember when you flung your own 1 year old child across the kitchen? That incident has haunted my mother her entire life. Watching her baby sister get tossed like a rag doll across the kitchen and having to take care of everything you didn’t. My mother vowed that day that she would never cry again. She was 11 years old. She was a child.

Remember when you raped and molested your own daughter and my mother had to take her to the hospital? My mother, only a child herself, was told by doctors that her baby sister’s hymen had been broken. 

You disgust me. You are a power hungry narcissist. You’ve prided yourself your entire life being a devout Catholic. What has Catholicism ever brought to the world, but pain and suffering? Your children are suffering. The children you raised and were supposed to protect live in fear and suffering because of you. Your children are scared of demons and monsters at the ages of 30, 40, 50… Things most of us get over once we reach adulthood. Catholicism imbues fear and suffering into its pupils. This ideology should have died long ago. Almost every single one of your children have struggled with drug addiction, alcoholism, and mental disorders. 

Your people claim that Jesus died for our sins and suffered for us, so why then are your children still suffering? Why is my mother a 47 year old woman living with an abusive partner with nothing to her name? She has a distrust and hate for men that she instilled in me. Only through finding my true love was I able to begin to flake away the layers of misogyny. It is true when people say, “Not all men are bad.” My future husband is kind, loving, and gentle. My future husband will never lay a hand on our children or me. He is a protector and a provider, unlike you. 

You bring nothing but misery and destruction to your family. Maybe you can try again in your next life. I wouldn’t recommend coming back as a human though; you might want to work on your empathy a bit. Maybe you can come back as a snake. The Chinese Zodiac states that the year of the snake is next year, 2025 and that snakes are “generous, with a proclivity for building loving relationships and providing emotional support.” You should embody these things in your next life. Peace be with you. May my peace reside within you.

Not every piece of media needs to be a deep and profound philosophical masterpiece but I think it is kind of a tragedy to spend millions of dollars and thousands of labor hours to produce a piece of art that has nothing to say, something which only reflects the conditions under which it was produced without even thinking about them

The canon of it all

[ramblingsofaswampfairy]

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.
