#oppression never wins

[nyxx01]

They are threatened, they say we are not changing anything, that we’re useless, that they are the victims, that we will never see liberation, While them reacting the way they do proves the exact opposite.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Liberation for all.

Something about coming out as Ace at 14 that really shaped my view of the world. Lol. Lmao even

[snivel1]

You know that you are a human…

You know that you are a human.

You know that, or do you not?

That smile of yours is unique to you,

That torment of yours is unique to you,

Your eyes no other person has got.

Tomorrow you won’t be here present.

Tomorrow on this blessed land

Others’ll be running and laughing,

Others’ll be feeling and loving;

Good people and bad ones, my friend.

Today all the world is for you:

Forests and hills, valleys deep.

So hurry to live, please, hurry!

So hurry to love, please, hurry!

Don’t miss out on it, don’t oversleep!

‘Cause you on this Earth are a human.

And whether you want it or not,

That smile of yours is unique to you,

That torment of yours is unique to you,

Your eyes no other person has got.

Hate to break it to these people but Trump being president doesn't protect trans kids *anywhere*. But somehow American trans kids are acceptable damage, I see.

I feel part of the issue is that Drolos haven't yet realised that dteam are at a point where antis massively out numbers stans. We are never again going to win a twitter war.

like idk i think sometimes you just need to know your place as a dream stan and keep your mouth shut

I’m not gonna tag this as Barbie and traumatize the masses b u t

You know if I had a nickle every time a piece of media aimed almost exclusively at one sex’s gaze explored the absolute crisis that systematic forms of oppression like patriarchy and rape culture actually hurts all people involved and in an idealized world we should embrace what makes us happy as individuals and work to move forward with our lives into a more positive world, I would have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s FUCKING INSANE AND UNHINGED it happened it both the Barbie movie 2023 and the hardcore torture not safe for life dead-dove ass eroge visual novel Dead End Aegis 2021

Anyways give them 3 tickets for the Barbie movie hdkakakdjdkaskkf

like it really is enough to make someone feel crazy. you have a character who wants to be seen and respected and valued as a person with her own thoughts and feelings and ideas, but she can't be any of those things, because she's not a person, she's a woman. and women exist to serve, not to live.

and so the only way to receive the acknowledgment and respect of her peers is to chase after a power she doesn't understand, enjoy, or necessarily even want, because at least if she suffers on the throne, she's suffering as a person, not as a mother to a son, a wife to a husband, or a daughter to a father.

like the entire show is a series of events featuring two women who aren't happy, attempting to win a game that doesn't care about them, in the vain hope that one day when they open their mouths, people will actually listen and care for what they have to say. and after all that grasping and pain and suffering and humiliation, it doesn't even work. because they're women.

do hate looking into pride tags and seeing so many posts that are like "people are fucking horrible to us all the time"

NOT what im here for <3 did you misread the pride part of this month

[honeyrisuke]

I had to make this bc it just happened again

When people normally bring it up briefly I usually keep my mouth shut bc meh but when people whine about how tough it's been for them and say shit like "you cannot imagine what it's like for me to not be able to go to the mall", I canNOT HELP BUT BRING IN SOME PERSPECTIVE

[ssnake-party]

i don't think they listen to reason

but oppression won't kill us

Russian queers, they might have tried to silence you, but you are still alive. And they can never truly erase that. Stay strong, and be with hope.

so, today we, russian queers, may become "extremists" by decision of russian supreme court and thus our existence will be silenced and erased. any queer activism will be impossible for us. I don't know what to do anymore. I was heartbroken when they passed the laws about "gay propaganda" and transgender people, now I'm just numb. I don't want to escape. I just want to live safely in my own country.

please hear us.

The thing I keep coming back to, with all the *gestures expansively* is that real life doesn't have peaceful epilogues.

Every single win has to be defended. Forever. I'm sorry. It sucks. The Nazis lost until they stopped losing. The US had abortion rights, and then 50 years later it didn't. Empires fall, and then they invade other countries again. Oppressive regimes are overthrown and replaced with other oppressive regimes. You will never finish the work etc etc etc. Which is why it's so fucking important to be able to acknowledge and celebrate progress, when it happens. The people who came before you didn't put in all that work for nothing, and you aren't, either. You can't save it all for the Ultimate Victory because there is never going to be an Ultimate Victory. There's no such thing as a time when everything is good, and ours shall not be the commune of Heaven.
