Please share. The situation in Italy is severe. What's happening? In these months our government became oppressive against students and protesters. Today police arrested a lot of people who were going to Rome to protest against the g3nocide in Palest*ne. They also started to attack LGBTQ+ people (especially trans/enby folks). They are attacking the scientific research. They are attacking our right to transition or get an ab*rtion. They are attacking our right to learn consent or discuss about queer topics. They ignore the vi0lence against women, BIPOC and queer folks. They are banning laws against discrimination because "it is an attack to free speech" but they are trying to attack everyone's right to exist. Before they start attacking the social medias, please share this.

Yeah I need some of y’all to stop using ‘YA’ as a catch-all term for immature and lacking depth because it is revealing a lot about the value you see in both the authors and target audience of those books

*twirling my hair* do you like cassandra cain? if not, do u have a moment to hear about our lord and saviour cassandra cain?

CASSANDRA CAIN MY LOVE!!! She's definitely the batgirl I've read the most in terms of full issues, the first 30-ish issues of her solo by Kelly Puckett Scott Peterson and Damion Scott had me hooked and I binged them but fell off after Horrocks came on (nothing against him, he was just given an editorial mandate to make the book more romance focused and it turned me off because it felt so ooc for Cass to me lol. I do own some of the issues he wrote tho! I like the ones with art by Rick Leonardi). I'm not really caught up with modern comics (ish??) And I'm not reading anything dedicatedly but I hear she's in a new original book teaming up with a magic user? Neat! Good for her. I love her in the shadow of the batgirl graphic novel (IT'S SO GOOD)

sometimes i think about the resident evil series and how the first 3 games way back in 96-99 were the last time that you were able to play as a woman as the protagonist in a main game who is actually equal to the male protagonist option.

a child who is seven and crying in public is just that. they are seven. SEVEN years old. that’s all their life experience. it takes four years to learn about one major subject of concentration in college, to expect a person who has been conscious of their own memory and being for barely half their life to have the full emotional and situational experience and regulation as you is beyond cruel, even more so to demonize them for it. any child who is younger than that has even less. bitching about a crying newborn who hasn’t even had water for the first time in their life as a grown adult is a strange, selfish, and dangerous mentality. acting like a child should be completely regulated just because they’re in highschool is an immense burden. to have a conscience, sure; to be able to think about right from wrong, sure; but to expect them to have it all figured out when down to a cellular level, everything in their life is shifting for the first time since birth, and they should deal with that silently just so you don’t have to see or hear them is unrealistic and unkind. it’s such a tragic irony coming from adults who constantly feel like they have some part of their “inner child” they have to heal. i’m sure if someone were kinder to you as a kid you wouldn’t feel the need to hate so endlessly and struggle to piece togther who you are because someone made you feel like your existence was less than

nobody has to raise children and change diapers and feed and clothe and bathe them if they don’t want to. you don’t have to deescalate a temper tantrum or deal with the mood swings of a teenager. but as an adult, you absolutely do not expressly upset and uncontrollably irritated that there are children in the world and in public space and on planes and in line for food and in sephora and at the movie theater. children live and love and learn in the world just as you do, you don’t get to wish them away from that. i’ll bet you were an annoying ass insufferable child, too, but the solution was not to post online and gather an audience who vehemently hate your existence just for being. express your temporary discomfort or annoyance sure, but to a community of real life people, not to an audience of other spiteful adults in a space where children don’t know they are being mocked. it’s bullying, it’s mean, it’s spiteful, it’s picking a fight with someone who has no means to defend themselves and faulting the caregivers who are already doing everything they can to care for them, just because their plan for raising their kid didn’t take into account your bitter soul. you are entitled to a child-free life, not a child-free world. there is no excuse to be mean to them or speak ill about them.

people have got to be nicer to and about kids

"transandrophobia isn't real bc men aren't oppressed for being men, only for other marginalizations they face"

okay well i am a brown disabled trans masc person and i'm telling you i DO experience oppression on the basic of being what ppl perceive as me "being a man."

what is it when Black men are treated like violent, scary criminals? it's racism, yes, but it's also a specific form of racism that applies especially to Black MEN.

what is it when Indigenous men are expected to be "noble s*vages" in a way that is distinct from the way Indigenous women and nonbinary ppl are categorized?

what is it when disabled men are explicitly harmed for being weak or "not real men?" what is it called? is it JUST ableism? if so, why does gender continuously play a part in the harm?

what is it when trans men are assaulted or killed for not being "man enough?" what do we get to call transphobia that we, specifically, face for being masculine?

what about my fellow Black and brown trans dudes who hesitated to transition for fear of being fucking killed by cops? or are they just imagining it too?

why is it that when WE acknowledge our pain and oppression, we're suddenly just men and apparently aren't smart enough to know our own experiences? why do you get to tell me these things aren't real?

y'all will really talk about how patriarchy hurts everyone and then turn around and tell afab ppl whose genders you think are too privileged to sit down and be quiet. as if we didn't hear that from everyone else in our lives since birth. as if this isn't aimed at us SPECIFICALLY bc we're not the group YOU think deserves safety and respect. fuck you.

[lesbianhouseplant]

Okay, time for some house cleaning. If you disagree with any of these then get off my blog

Trans women are women

Trans men are men

Nonbinary people are nonbinary

Bisexuals, pansexuals, and omnisexuals are valid

Arospec and acespec people are valid

Trans women deserve to be included in women spaces

Trans lesbians deserve to be included in lesbian spaces

Trans men deserve to be included in men’s spaces

Gay trans men deserve to be included in gay spaces

Black lgbtq+ people deserve to be included in our community

Indigenous lgbtq+ people deserve to be included in our community

LGBTQ+ people of all races deserve to be included in our community

You’re never too old to transition or discover your sexuality

Respect is not given but earned

Polyamorous relationships are valid

Monogamous relationships are valid

And lastly, but sure not leastly,

IT IS NEVER OKAY TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST SOMEONE FOR THINGS OUT OF THEIR CONTROL. RACE, SEXUALITY, GENDER IDENTITY, AGE, DISABILITY, ETC. AND THIS DOES INCLUDE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PEOPLE SEEN AS THE STANDARDS

I pray this won’t lose me too many followers. Not because I care about followers but because I hope not many people disagree with this

[yourgamemasterthewhiterabbit]

4-5 I have been having a lot of thoughts about the franchise lately, tbh, mainly in line with

"Where is the leftist activism in their universe?"

"Where are the disability advocates talking about how people are dehumanizing people with mutations, or how all adaptation is s double sided coin or how being socially disabled is still a disability"

"Where is the Autistic mutant alliance?"

"Where is the Queers for mutant rights advocacy groups?"

"Where's the intersex mutant alliance groups?"

"Where are the people pointing out that the x gene is by far not the only human mutation that causes both symptoms and sometimes different abilities, and that maybe these are not issues we can separate?"

"Where are the people trying to point out that framing it as mutant vs human instead of human vs human is like when we let them start calling anti-fascism 'antifa' to sound scary?"

We always see either mobs coded as republican and American Christians of the worst sort or hate groups to the far right, but does leftism not exist in their universe, we hardly ever see a non mutant individual speak out publicly in their favour at all. I know the left is full of infighting and mutants would make terf's heads explode, but like... Where is the intersectionality?

And Magneto... My biggest gripe with him is how he never mentions the disabled or queer in the same breath as mutants, and it comes across like mutations with powers are the only ones he cares about... It comes off like eugenics which I feel like super would not realistically be his bit.

I have so many... Notes. Especially about a modern 2024 take on the x-men...

So like yeah I am invested in the franchise to a fairly high degree, but a lot of it is demanding they get better cooks. I am attached to these characters now and I want to see them written better.

You were never going to be palatable to the political right, unless they lack all media literacy at all. Stop tiptoeing.

Before kicking off a project I want to gauge what the heat will be like here so do me a favor and answer honestly on a scale of 1 (complete apathy) to 5 (devout enthusiasm):

[diedinflorida]

something that bothers me that i have a hard time articulating is the trend of saying "you just hate women" to trans men

something i see a lot when transmascs stand up and have respect for ourselves is accusations of hating women. frankly it seems like a lot of people have not unpacked that we don't transition because we hate women, we transition because a lot of us (not all, but a lot) don't want to be women. here's your obligatory "but of course there are misogynist trans men out there! i have to say this because otherwise someone could say i hate women and want to downplay their struggles. you know, the exact thing i'm talking about in this post"

either way sometimes people understand misogyny is not stored in the gender and then are extra pissed when a trans man is a misogynist. he shouldn't be, that's shitty, but his misogyny is treated like a betrayal worse than a cis person's misogyny.*

it feels like people want transmascs to be these ultra educated feminists who sit and listen and never speak up about our individual issues (this applies to transfeminine and intersex people too). it's really frustrating to try to talk about double standards and things wrong with the world due to the patriarchy, toxic masculinity, and other intersecting factors (race, age, disability, etc.) and get told "shut up you just hate women" ???? it is not the fault of women that the issues we talk about exist and we say that, but i guess if you believe hard enough that anyone who uses the word transandrophobia hates women, that will magically make it true

*this also happens to transfems a lot. if you've ever cracked down on a transfem for saying something you would let slide from a cis person, examine that

[wolfertinger666]

I'm Transgender guy but I'm also black and disabled, so I am an Intersection of things people despise and it's hard asf when communities tend to be transphobic/transmisognistic, racist/anti black, and ableist. please treat black disabled trans queers with respect. ESPECIALLY BLACK TRANS WOMEN AND TRANSFEMS(especially if they're disabled too)

Astro obs

Sun in Scorpio and/or 8th house have deep understanding of their own self and often have a very religious upbringing

Sun opposite moon has their heart vs their head type of thing, they lead with their heart and the thinking comes after

Mercury opposite moon has the tendency to say the opposite of what they actually feel, however, not in genuinely deceitful way just simply not really having to feel anything about the words they say

Mercury in Scorpio has the ability to say really deep and insightful things and be really blunt

Venus in Scorpio have a lot of love for people who can be damaging to them

Venus square Neptune has the power to use other's perceptions of them as they're weapon if they are given the opportunity to be forced into that power

Mature Gemini Venus men are the most thoughtful, mercury Venus men have the most thoughtful love language

People with disabilities often have Aquarius influence and/or uranus influence which makes sense especially with Aquarius mercury they have a common trait of having a learning disability or just a unique perspective and often maybe a lisp, every time I meet an Aquarius mercury they have said that they used to have a lisp when younger

Cancer Suns are the most caring but sometimes this can lead them into toxic relationships and keep them there, but love is reckless

Cancer moons are totally a mamas boy placement every time I see it I know that they love their mom or just have a healthy respect for women, though it's usually learned through life lessons so if Saturn is on this then it will take them a long time to learn to respect women

Gemini placements and Scorpio placements have the ability to expedite growth and transformation through genuine curiosity and passion for deeper knowledge, these quincunx by aspect but make a good duo for lifelong learning especially with a healthy mix of Saturn speaking of lifelong 💀

12th house placements are the kids in school who sat alone on the bus and never talked to people unless ppl talked to them, very brooding but actually they're just very observant and reserved, usually due to bullying because these placements are not average by any means, they have a deep understanding of spirituality whether they love it or hate it

Thanks for reading 💓👽

Personally I assumed it to be not so much human experimentation, simply because we mostly got more advanced techniques now that doesn't require it, but more of a DNA/genome editing thing. Human experimentation is more prevalent on No Mans Land because they are basically working with scraps and ethics are looser. But I mean yeah hands on experimentation was the norm for most of human history too obviously.

But I am also pretty sure it's supposed to be representative of God creating humans in his image.

So I’ve had a bit of a thought about plants ever since reading Trimax (no spoilers because we get no answers though lol), and I can’t help but wonder if anyone else has reached the same conclusion? Given the twisted, often mutilated but human-adjacent form that plants have in any given version of Trigun, and given that independent plants are nearly built just like humans…

Are plants the product of human experimentation?

In every translation of what little info I’ve seen, it’s stated that plants were created by humans. Not the product of alien life or anything, but of humans themselves. And given how they look, and given Tesla… Well, I just think it makes an awful lot of sense.

It also makes both Knives and Vash’s plight a bit more interesting, if we’re all growing off the same branch.

I feel like I'm going insane.

Why does Gale's "good ending" if you don't date him imply that he gets back with Mystra.

Why does the grown ass woman who intentionally isolated 17-year-old Wyll and trapped him in a relationship get to hang out in your camp (and potentially sleep with you).

Why do the writers (head writer and literally Wyll's personal character writer included!) have so little respect and tact when talking about their characters' traumas only when they are male and their abuser is female.

Nobody would find it funny if the Christmas animatic had Astarion blush at a picture of Cazador. Nobody would think it was "a good resolution" if Karlach saved and then dated Gortash at the end of the game.

And the characters aren't treated well outside of their relationships either, the writers love to laugh when people call Wyll boring or Gale annoying. I dunno what's worse: all the extra in-game dialogue calling Gale pathetic, or the fact that Wyll barely has any additional dialogue at all. With the additional factors of Wyll being the only Black companion and Gale being the only one with a disability that is somewhat "inconvenient" to the player (because God forbid a person need help), it just comes across as implicit bias from the writers themselves. To create these representations and then shit on them for traits that not only may be relatable to your audience, but traits that you gave them.

When Neil accepted the award for best performance he told people who relate to Astarion that "you are not alone." It's a beautiful sentiment, but paired with writers fetishising Wyll's abuse and saying Gale's best ending is the one where he kills himself, it comes across as though for POC, the chronically ill/disabled, or male victims of women, the statement does not apply.
