Stop It!

I don’t know about you guys, but I am sickened and disgusted by the recent surge in intolerance and downright hatred against the LGBTQ community.  We are all humans, for Pete’s Sake!  What does it matter who another person chooses to love or how they choose to live?  I was surprised and pleased to see Dan Rather address this topic, so I will turn the floor over to him and Elliott Kirschner now…

The father of a Minnesota transgender high school student who says she was beaten in school said Thursday he wants the students who beat or harassed his daughter to face criminal charges.

Mark Walztoni tells CNN his 17-year-old daughter Cobalt Sovereign, a junior at Hopkins High School in Minnetonka, was in the school bathroom last Thursday when a student started calling her transphobic slurs. While she was leaving the bathroom, Walztoni says his daughter said that she was surrounded by that student and two others, who began following Sovereign down the hall, and when she turned around to ask them to stop, she was punched in the mouth.

During the attack, according to Walztoni, Sovereign’s jaw was broken in two places. She had a compound fracture and lost teeth, leading to reconstructive surgery. Walztoni says the students responsible should face criminal charges.

“There has to be repercussions for their actions. And if they are not charged for some reason, which is our fear, then that is just going to further escalate their behavior because when you get away with stuff, you continue to do stuff,” he said. “There needs to be some kind of punishment and there needs to be some serious discussion as to whether those kids should be able to come back to the same school.”

He also says he was notified about the incident from a social worker at the school and was told by school officials to notify the police, adding that he was displeased the incident “wasn’t treated as an emergency.”

The Minnetonka Police Department said in a statement to CNN that it is investigating an attack that day at Hopkins High School as “a possible hate crime,” but said “details remain limited as the case was reported to police after school had ended for the day.” Hopkins High School said it is investigating “an act of violence” that “involved a student who identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community.”

the best thing about going through old posts from 2012 is remembering how people on tumblr and the internet in general back then spoke EVERY other WORD in CAPS LOCK while reacting to things they vaguely liked as if oh my god. OH MY GOD. IT WAS THE GREATEST THING EVER!!!!! while PUNCTUATING THEIR SENTENCES with EXCLAMATIONS!!! but never splitting apart sentences word by word with them as we do more often now and instead

“Talk to a therapist” “go to the psych ward” are ableist statements and r not supportive to the psychotic communities who experience delusions of persecution and extreme paranoia who wont trust their therapist or the psych ward staff?? and are likely to get traumatized if they go to therapy or the psych ward in a state like that

Seen posts on here that recommend that psychotics (Doesn’t specify what kind) speak to therapists? And from personal experience I don’t agree (depends on what kind) and think it can be harmful. I was lucky enough to be given a few free sessions-my mom had something set up (like 3-the country I live in offers that to some ppl 🇨🇦 but my therapist) but it was during my psychotic depression (w chronic paranoia) and now I feel ways about seeing a therapist.. idk don’t recommend seeing one if ur like that, it was kinda traumatizing and it wasn’t the therapists fault

Everything is traumatizing when ur in a state like that :( still learning what triggers I got while like that esp having experienced things for as long as I have

I also never told my therapist about the psychotic symptoms I was experiencing during things, didn’t trust being honest about them with a professional at the time, just had to mask a lot. Didn’t tell my family either. I was rlly scared about the terrifying things I was going through internally

In the last few weeks Boeing whistleblower John Barnett "shot himself" just as he was meant to be giving his evidence deposition.

Additionally, Boeing whistleblower Joshua Dean, 45 years old, died suddenly from a mystery "fast acting infection".

Boeing is murdering whistleblowers and getting away with it. Please don’t forget this.

Honestly I think it would do us all well to go back to kinda cringy feminism again for a little bit idk cause I think maybe for some people the discourse somehow circled back around to supporting sexism just rebranded or whatever so its more aesthetic

i feel like people just say "coorporations" as if they are evil spirits that we must control metaphysically. they do have faces. they have CEO's and board meetings and shareholders and a lot of it is public information.

what im saying is, why are we boycotting nestle when we could be protesting outside of nestle CEO Ulf Mark Schneider's house

there is real action to be done here. we do that by targeting the people responsible for human rights atrocities. nestle owns child slaves. mark schneider is responsible for nestle. why aren't we holding these people responsible for their actions?

ughhh if i can complain for a moment i’ve been feeling so unsatisfied with my art latelyyyy it all looks samey and bad and it feels like i hit a plateau where i’m not getting any better. i don’t care how many notes i get but im so insecure everytime i make anythingggg that i care about. i have a whole backlog of finished drawings that i havent shared cuz i always feel like people are making fun of me behind my back about this stuff you know. i just kinda miss having like 50 followers cuz i never felt embarrassed by this i was wayyy more authentic. i just haven’t had that creative spark lately and everything i do looks kinda unfinished and amatuer. i knowwww it doesn’t matter and i should create what i want without feeling bad about it. but anyway. whiny moment over

It's tempting to laugh and say "Good riddance", but there are a lot of people in Texas who don't support the GOP, and who can't just pick up and leave. Those people deserve better.

Some fallout ocs of mine and @noah-pology’s that I was thinking about.

i dont even mean this in a catchy, buzzword way but i really do think autistics trigger the fuck out of people with NPD. it keeps being a pattern in a VERY specific type of person in my work life. a lot of ppl w NPD have a very paranoiac sense of "everyone is trying to get me and tear me down" thing that comes w the grandiosity. not just 'wow i am great' but 'i will achieve greatness and i HAVE to and it won't be okay if i don't' and the fundamental belief that people 'lower' on the social hierarchy are secretly envious and making up ways to fuck you over and take what you have (yknow, bc Everything Is About You). being allistic on top of that - assuming your experience is default and everyone knows these minor social tics & anyone who doesn't respond in kind is being minorly petty at the very least - and you have someone for whom every little autistic social mishap is triggering the "secretly hates me is out to get me is trying to signal to me that i am cringe" alarms. i will play my tiny violin here and say if they see you as hot or conventionally attractive, they WILL NOT assume you are weird or neurodivergent, not in a billion years, they ONE BILLION PERCENT WILL ASSUME it's obvious that you are trying to signal you think you're better than them. it's really sad and it's a really stressful way to live but it helped me to understand WHY this dynamic was happening

ofc trans men benefit from feminism, they are afab lol

all marginalized men benefit from feminism because the patriarchy is reified by other forms of oppression this includes cis men of color for example

Putin's latest Nyet Say Gay law.

It's no wonder why Republicans admire Putin.

Russia: Supreme Court Bans “LGBT Movement” as “Extremist”

If you like Russia, you'll love a Trump second term!

Supporting Russia is homophobic. Putin's Russia is part of a collection of reactionary countries (Iran, North Korea, etc.) which would like to turn the clock back socially to the 17th century.

Putin invaded Ukraine to try to push back modernity. Sympathetic Republicans are trying to block assistance to Ukraine.

Romans 6:23 says, "The wages of sin is death." The consequence of sin is pain, misery, destruction, and eventually death. We see this in all types of sin and it is especially the case for sexual sin." Pastor Tim Stephens looks at the ideas underlying the euthanasia and LGBTQ+ movements and how they can be embraced unwittingly by the church. We're reminded of the consequence of sinful ideas and then see the (only) answer in Jesus Christ who gives salvation as a free gift...
