Lucy Parsons.

She was an anarcho communist, labor organizer, and radical socialist who was a founder of Industrial Workers of the World. She was described by police men as being, "more dangerous than a thousand rioters."

100% badass. Total punk.

Sorry for the bad photo quality, Tumblr doesn't like posts this long.

Watched this earlier, and totally agree. Good video from Adam Conover; highly recommend his content.

Especially agreed; in a time where-- in the U.S. specifically-- conservatives are trying to make corporations into voting entities, we NEED unions to say NO.

Hell, what we REALLY need is a complete overhaul of the governmental/constitutional structure. It's always been about business. It's time to make leadership about ACTUALLY caring for fellow humanity.

Anybody agree? -Blake♟️(he/they)

The hunger games: capitalism pits individuals against each other in order to prevent us from uniting against the systems in power that maintain our oppression

Anyone else notice how terrible and disgusting men hide behind different subcultures? Goth men aren't safe. Metalhead men aren't safe. Punk men aren't safe. No man is safe regardless of what label he plasters over himself. At the very base of who a man is, every single man, is a man. To pretend men who partake in counterculture are somehow less violent than men who don't is a major cope. It's blatantly ignoring one the fundamental truth every woman has been taught but has also been encouraged to unlearn. Men aren't safe.

lurking in radfem spaces has really changed my entire view of most mainstream internet spaces because once you realize just how censored women's voices and feminist thought are on these sites, and how much porn and misogynistic values are defended, you can't unsee it.

how anyone can bear to participate in an online space where porn, of all things, is lauded as the bastion of "self-expression" and yet any woman slightly critical of popular cultural opinions is demonized is wild, especially when a lot of that porn is a) violent and misogynistic b) often accessible by minors c) gross and shallow d) myriad of other reasons far better writers have probably described

fuck I'm just so tired. seeking rationality online is just opening a pandora's box of garbage and seeing the reflection of how bleak the social hegemony has become.

Feminism is never and has never been about hating men by the way.

Don’t call yourself a feminist if you dismiss victims of SA or abuse just because they’re men whose abusers are women.

Hi, I saw one of your latest posts talking about the gender "segregation" where you state that women's only spaces shouldn't exist. So, if that was actually real, do you think me, a cis lesbian woman, should I be using a changing room or a bathroom used also by people with penises?

I would feel very uncomfortable being naked near someone who is biologically a male and I have the right to say no, no matter how they react, cis women's feelings matter too and nobody can tell me when I should be uncomfortable, same thing goes for sports, cis women could get physically hurt if a biological male played against them and this had already happened in a school in the US.

This more confirms how you far left activists don't care about us

I do not care about people's disgust when it comes to means of segregation. Do you think that during the 1960s there was no white person who felt uncomfortable sharing a bathroom with someone with dark skin when desegregation hit bathrooms and locker rooms? Do you think there's no white person who feels that way now (hell, a big reason American suberbs are a thing is that it allows white people to live in white only places post civil rights laws)?

How is your desire to feel comfortable through segregation any diffrent? There is a group you feel uncomfortable with in a space so you want it segregated, I suggest you either not use that space or find a way to be more comfortable. Society may have a responsibility for you to be safe, but there is no responsibility for you to feel safe.

And do you think nobody wants to be segregated away from you? You're literally a queer person, there are people who do not want you in public because of the exact same uncomfortablity with you. You probably have way more in common with trans people than most cis people do. If many people were allowed to remove what makes them uncomfortable from society, you would be forced into the closet. This isn't a hypothetical, the same people pushing for removal of trans people from society have same sex relationships as their next target.

Uncomfortablity is not something society can or should protect you from.

If it wasn't for humans writing on the walls we wouldn't know our stories. Fuck this dull world, vandalize the buildings that keep us caged. Graffiti is the purest communication with the future.

Homeless Care Package

Some things I'll be buying to make a care package for my local homeless person:

Socks, t- shirt, maybe underwear if it's not too weird, he probably needs it though

Dried foods; jerky, granola bars and dried fruit etc

Tasty sweet treat like a chocolate bar

Instant coffee

Thermos bottle

2 hot water bottles

Multivitamins

Bottled waters

Hand sanitiser and wet wipes

Bar of soap

Nail clipper

Small first aid kit

Gift card to a grocery store

Rain poncho

Sunscreen

Thermal blanket

Personal note letting him know that his situation is not his fault because the government and society is supposed to take care of people, but they don't because of greed and short sightedness

Feel free to take inspiration and make a care package for a homeless person in your city/town. You don't have to show your face, you can wear a face mask and sunglasses, and go with a friend if you're nervous.

It's a small gesture that can go a long way in giving a person hope. Even just cash or a grocery store gift card is a good thing to give. Life is unpredictable. It can take a turn for the worse and suddenly become very hard for anyone

We were never meant to go it alone.

I have found that the biggest deterrent to assholes is asking "why?" Over and over.

"We can't have universal healthcare!"

Why?

"Because I don't wanna pay for a strangers health!"

Why?

"Because if they can't afford their own health care that isn't my problem!"

Why?

And so on and so on. Keep making them dig. Keep making them explain until they can't anymore and are faced with nothing but the ugly mask of bias and prejudice. Only then can they truly see that taking it off is an option. Whether they do or not is up to them. And that choice tells you whether they deserve more of your energy or not.

Trans kids can't be trans. Why? Why not? Why?

Free food is bad for ppl. Why? Why? Why? Why is feeding ppl bad?

Why?

Why is helping one another bad?

Why is doing what humans are genetically designed to do, to help and care for one another to ensure survival, bad?

Social media has really shown me that men are the ones abusing the platform with mass reporting. They mass report more than anyone, always to silence women. Since I joined social media in 2012, I never had my accounts or comments reported or removed until I got into radical feminism online, especially on Twitter.

That's when I witnessed how men, with their egotistical, narcissistic nature and fragile egos, desire to live in a dictatorship. They believe they are entitled to mass report and silence women, getting our accounts suspended and our posts removed, even when we're simply stating facts supported by data. Men coordinate and work together to mass report women’s specifically feminists posts. Men are genuinely by far the most childish hypersensitive creatures, with egos more sensitive than a clitoris, which has 8,000 nerve endings.

What's the fucking problem with these guys whining about "my wife doesn't make me coffee on demand but does so when her boss requests it of her at work, which she gets paid for" and implying said boss is a male "she respects another man more than meeee" and if she argues with the fact that at work she gets paid to do it they come at you with "so money is worth more to you than your family, you money hungry b*tch"

Whenever I, a woman from a country where feticide prevails and they kill you in the womb for having xx chromosomes, watch libfems and TRAs write long ass paragraphs about how sex/gender are very complicated and indistuingishable; I wonder how our oppressors are always able to tell

And how, coincidentally, across all cultures and continents, the same demographic (males) has systematically oppressed one particular demographic (females) for eons. Without error.

Just goes on to show how liberal feminists would rather cater to their tim audience than grow a spine and acknowledge that our experience as women is sex based.
