#abortion is normal

Wow it's actually sad and enraging to see so many people proudly advocating ableism and straight up infanticide (like it's not just abortion anymore). It's escalating so quickly.

People really be casually boasting about being human rights defenders and at the same time dehumanize certain people for selfishness and despair. Where's coherency. Hello? Human dignity depends on a person's "utility" as if we are tools? Depends on their level of intelligence? Depends on how much money they have? Depends on how much of a nuisance they are in our lives? Depends on the stage of biological development they are? Are you really sure???? Just use your brains for a moment and think about what all this implies.

The world is crazy and the fact that people are falling for horrible views about human value so massively and blindly nowadays is a clear sign that the devil exists and is in the details.

I guess there's still much work and prayer to do. Please don't forget that our dignity as human beings is priceless and inherent from the moment of conception till natural death.

MXTX protagonists ranked by how bad their mommy/daddy issues are

Luo Binghe: absolutely nuclear level of mommy/daddy issues. this is the consequence of giving your protagonist two deadbeat dads and two dead moms, and then letting him project all those issues onto his overly indulgent teacher

Wei Wuxian: he could've had perfectly normal orphan levels of parent trauma, but what's that?? IT'S THE JIANG PARENTS WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!! the combo of fear and respect he had for Yu Ziyuan is already bad enough, but then there's also the feeling of responsibility for the Jiang siblings that they put on him, which then leads to, you know, all the Yunmeng sibling problems

Lan Wangji: this dude is so haunted by his father potentially kidnapping his mother and then locking her up and putting himself in seclusion, and this significantly shapes his relationship with Wei Wuxian. plus he took his mother's death really, really badly :(

Shen Qingqiu: he like never mentions his parents?? which is weird, but at least he's not haunted by it. however, he gets the special privilege of being the person exacerbating someone else's mommy/daddy issues. he brought this on himself. he doesn't get to walk out of a confession involving a metaphor where he'd be pregnant with his partner and act like that's normal

Xie Lian: he definitely has trauma surrounding his parents for sure, but they don't seem to have manifested as specifically mommy/daddy issues? it's just, you know. normal grief. honestly, there's so much shit going on with his trauma and baggage that he can't be defined by this one thing

Hua Cheng: does not seem to care about his parents?? at all???? he's presumably an orphan and they're probably the origin of his self worth issues, but like. in the grand scheme of things, they do not seem to be that big of a concern for him. who needs mommy issues when you have devotion to dianxia i guess

The children of Poseidon are fertile, really fertile. Especially during certain lunar periods. Jason has to cope alone when the moon is especially full, almost blue or gold, and Percy curses his father. Even a condom or pills won't help.

okayy, i love this 👀 (honestly surpirsed i haven't actually written mpreg or a/b/o type things, though it's on my Vaguely in the Future List)

i could see this coinciding with jason in a curious way. even though he's not technically part wolf, it's kind of a given he'd have wolf-like behaviors. i'd be curious if these same moon cycles inspire a heat within him (or would it be a rutt? for as much abo as i've read sometimes i get the terms confused). it would be the worst coincidence if the time that jason needs percy most is the time he can't have him due to such a high pregnancy risk.

ofc, when given something tempting & forbidden, the question is who would break first?

you have jason, who continually wants to break out of that box of leadership, who wants to be gentle & take care of percy during these lunar cycles. he wants to respect percy's wishes, because in what world would they be ready for a child? at the same time, though, his mind is screaming at him about how good percy looks (& would look while pregnant 👀), how he needs to mate, etc.

then you have percy, who was always a rule-breaker, though he is serious about the uncertainty of kids. he wants to be responsible in this, to not tie jason down (despite jason being ready to Pop The Question & Die for him at a moment's notice lmao). still, his brain is barraging him with thoughts of what a good dad jason would be, of how much he needs jason to breed him Like Yesterday

ultimately, i think it'd be fun to see like a cat-&-mouse, will-they-won't-they of "i wanna respect your decision but also i'm gonna lose my mind if i can't have you right now" situation on both ends. it would probably end with percy seducing jason ("seducing" being as tame as wearing shorts & eating a popsicle around him tbh, these guys don't take much lmao) before jason is bending percy over the nearest available surface to finally give in, pregnancy or otherwise.

There’s a lot to be explored in Zeke’s character and backstory both within the context of being a soldier growing up in what seems to be a very racist military dictatorship but also within like—every aspect of his character being a walking checklist of someone who’s been abused/+ dehumsnised; him willing to use his literal spinal fluid (not exactly something Zeke can obtain on his own….) for plans, the entire forced euthanasia plan that he came up with as a teenager , the numerous times he’s seen shirtless when most if not all characters rarely are clearly implying he’s a lot more comfortable with it, the way he was chained in the Paths, him being unable to scream lest he creates monsters. So many things that he’s willing to do feel so invasive, it’s really morbid once you seriously start reading between the lines and it raises up a hullva lot of questions, especially in relation to both Grisha who first and foremost used Zeke as a mole and Tom Ksaver who both had no queries on the forced euthanasia plan and who was the prior holder of the Beast Titan that built up a connection with Zeke for years before Zeke became the Beast Titan via eating Ksaver.

The fact that even long after a decade he’s so dead set on the belief that Grisha abused Eren to the point where he’s willing to kidnap Eren raises questions for me, the fact that he stiffened up when Grisha hugged him in the Paths is Something and the fact that his death is literally him prompting Levi to kill him to cut the connection between Ymir and the Jaeger blood becomes a lot more skeevey once you start putting the whole picture together.

Obviously I don’t believe Isayama intended anything serious by it or we would’ve seen something when Eren and Zeke were going through the man’s memories but irl to me it reads like some seriously fucked up long-term conditioning and childhood abuse.

I’m only two and a half books into the Witcher series but I already feel like out of all the fantasy I’ve read, it’s one of the more realistic. Not in a grimdark way but just in a like normal human way. If normal humans lived with fantasy creatures and magic, I would expect them to be this way. Magic exists but Ciri is still too embarrassed to talk about her period. War exists but there are still people willing to take in orphans out of plain goodness and generosity. They even know about germs but Triss can still get gastroenteritis and it’s treated seriously, not as a joke.

youtube is experimenting with server side ads... the internet is actively hostile. why should i have to pay for the privilege to not be exposed to your shit moderation system. im constantly served homophobic political ads and cult religious shit, gambling is apparently too risky to show to kids but it's fine if the advertisers pay you, alcohol is great and fun and couldnt possibly cause someone to relapse, black and white one frame strobes are awesome, the real mr beast will give me $10k if i take this quick survey, and the young kids staying at my house get served TWO HOUR LONG ads because these vultures know the kids dont know how to skip. fuck you and fuck your website, im not paying money just because you cant do your damn jobs and actually keep this place safe

I think the big issue with Harris is that they used up any enthusiasm they had at the outset. When Biden dropped out and Harris stepped up, there was quite a bit of enthusiasm, maybe a hope that something would change. Then Walz was picked as VP, and once again, people were excited because Minnesota was seen as pretty progressive compared to the more institutional democrats. Then, as Novemeber approached, things started to fall apart. Harris started talking about being the most lethal military and securing borders. She got approval from Dick Cheney. And for the lot who were hoping to hear something in favor of brokering peace with Israel Palestine, there was a fake Biden Ultimatum against Netanyahu and nothing was done even while Trump bragged he was talking with Bibi and actively sabotaging Biden's brokering efforts.

I've seen people blame ID politics for their failure, but feminist and queer issues weren't unpopular, per se. Many states—even red states—passed abortion and queer marriage protections. A trans woman was sent to Congress, and this is the first time two black women are senators at the same time.

I think people are tiring of institutional Democrats. There's no excitement with the DNC. Their biggest selling point they keep giving is occupying seats to keep Republicans out of it. Anyone who may have an issue with institutional Democrats are told to fall into rank to keep Trump away. So, even if logically, Trump is a massive blow to a lot of these positions, people don't want to vote for "Not Trump^tm" for the third presidential election cycle in a row. They want and needed someone to get excited about.

I was a sophomore in high school during the 2016 election. By the time Trump leaves office, I will be approaching my 30s. I know there's a lot of finger-pointing right now about who dropped the ball on the presidential election, and we can blame any minor faction we want. "It's the Latinos! It's the progressives! It's the straight white men!"

Honestly, I don't think it's any of the major voting blocks, but, as I've said, the DNC as a whole. For their stuffy suits and constant attempts at reaching across the aisle with people who spit at their existence, demean their identities. When Harris called Republicans weird, people thought we were out of the woods with overly cordial negotiating and finally got someone who was willing to play ball.

I'm in progressive spaces, so it's certainly obvious that my observation that the DNC was too moderate is biased. That said, I think it was a one-two punch of being made to fall into line then losing because of a stark drop in turn out has lead to many believing someone else didn't do their part, almost a resentful "I had to give up my aspirations for the next administration to not be Trump, why couldn't you?"
