thinking about the walls of benin and how the british destroyed them, and thinking about all of the literature of south america that the spanish destroyed just like that and then thinking about the library of alexandria
because how many more libraries were ravaged by colonialization yk? how much knowledge and architecture was destroyed for conquest?
feeling feelings
#rant in the tags#would it be brash to say that despite how tragic the destruction of the library was despite the fact that it was an isolated incident#and of a *far* smaller scale compared to colonial destruction#but its still the first to be brought up when we talk about the destruction of knowledge#but why not south america? why not asia? why not africa? why not the rest of the mediterranian world? why not egypt in its colonial era?#by the 15 and 1600s asia and africa were probably far more sophisticated than in 48 BC#bc logically over time cultures gain more knowledge#and thats when they set us back so many years#to the point that many countries are still fucking suffering from a lack of education#its so damned sickening#colonialism#history#and the way they colonize things that were discovered in the east too#the pythagorean theorem was discovered first in the east#the quadratic formula is al-khwarizmi's formula#pascals triangle was known for centuries#oh not to mention the social stuff because so many countries had a queer culture regardless of the social perception of it#and then the fucking west came in enforcing their regressive laws#and then when they progress and the east is still harping on with THEIR POLICIES#some people have the gall to call africa and asia morally depraved#section 377 in india was a british law by the fucking way#fuck colonizers bro#and the fact that its still happening in the form of neo-colonialism but no one talks about it nearly enough#anti colonialism#that is also a tag that exists

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
#yeehaw#1k#5k#10k#posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference#edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense#also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags#1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now#he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic#2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign#like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock#3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing#it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is#extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once#it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life#i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about#Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect#if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it#aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

How did Treasure Planet manage to come up with the greatest aesthetic in all human history? Victorian elegance plus space-age flair, with just enough dirt and grime and wear and tear to make it feel real? A combination of traditional and computer animation that perfectly embodies the movie's blend of old and futuristic? How does it get any better than that?

idk, i just feel like if your primary argument against transandrophobia/antitransmasculinity theory is that you think it's transmisogynistic you're not being intellectually honest. who does it hurt when trans men and mascs coin a term to describe the intersection of transphobia and sexism as it most frequently affects them? because it does hurt trans men when they're told that they're not entitled to speak on the discrimination they themselves face.
what I'm hearing from people who oppose the antitransmasculinity movement is that transmisogyny is when trans men talk about their problems 👍, but obviously that's not true. i know that's not true. you know that's not true. so then what is the issue? genuinely, enlighten me. you want trans men to shut up and listen? I'm listening.

presently exercising my rights and voting in the presidential election, you all should do the same
vote early if you need to. if youre using an absentee ballot make sure you read the directions and know it will be returned to where it needs to be returned to by the right day (all states vary on this)
