algerian trans women arent able to compete in women sports at all, but yeah its makes no sense to call khelif tme. youre so fucking smart.
i see you don't believe that i'm quoting one of the trans women in my life about that, which is your prerogative. it's also your right to miss my point entirely both about the ways this alienates intersex people and about the rigidity of a binary that comes down to the same shrinking circles terfs draw when they try to quantify what a woman is (speak up for women, the most organised nz group, have now submitted on the human rights act suggesting that all babies be karyotyped at birth and the results be public, bc they can't establish any other definition they agree on. absolutely fucking nobody, not even their christian or conspiracist allies, agrees with them on this one.)
but you don't have to take my word for it! when i was at that consultation with the nz law commission, i was in a room with many other intersex and trans people, including trans athletes and trans women like lexie matheson who consult on trans inclusion in sports at a high national level. i don't think there's a single person in that room who did not name what was happening to khelif as we spoke as transmisogyny, who did not speak of her as part of a group with whom we all shared something.
at the end of the day, prison abolition informs all of my politics. i believe that we must look clearly and carefully at harm and distinguish it from discomfort or disagreement, and identify its structural sources and true perpetrators. i believe that to build a better future we must be capable of imagining one. i believe that we can build a world where suffering is not the metric by which we determine value or punishment or righteousness. i believe that we can build a world where we centre and uplift those who are most hurt, in every arena — black and brown trans women, here; in some of my other work, it's incarcerated intellectually disabled people, or asian migrant sex workers affected by section 19, the list goes on — without then pitting them against other people who share some of the same story and will benefit from the same deconstruction of the systems that hold them down. i believe we can build a world in which asab doesn't affect so much of your life by beginning that work now.
there's a politics of scarcity — you have it better than me, so we have nothing in common. i saw it all the time in brothels, the idea that the new girl is taking money out of your kids' mouths. the viciousness with which people who are struggling are so ready to abandon solidarity. is it so hard to demand better for everyone? to think less about the ways we're alone and more about the ways we're together?
maybe it is. i know that well enough as a prison abolitionist. people get scared. they swing at shadows, they swing at anyone who seems to be suffering less, they — we, i should say, i am certainly not immune — get blindingly jealous of people who seem to have it easier. that's grief! that's grief for the easier life that we deserve. and we get to mourn, and take that time to feel it, and then we can choose if we want to keep working hand in hand with each other toward a world where that grief is dwarfed by the promise of the future.
#or you could simply say that she's not a trans woman instead of trying to make these terms fit? 'exempt' does make no sense here#unfollow me if you don't like what i'm saying! i don't intend to harp on it i like my little corner of tumblr and don't want this to spread#rbs still turned off anons also going off bc frankly i need to catch up on all my irl commitments and on local organising#and on the day job which is international organising related lmao#i really really cannot say this enough: even for the people i know who are both terminally online in trans circles AND organising irl#committing to more of the latter makes you feel a lot better about the former#also as always: i live in new zealand. i think half the problem with trans discourse is that people cannot imagine not just a better future#but a present in which there are communities less dysfunctional irl than this big messy online one#and that's saying something given how much i've vented on here about local dysfunction#i know a lot of people — mostly trans women — on here + twitter who feel afraid to have these conversations in public bc ppl act like this#and they have better things to do#technically so do i but unfortunately last night i was upset so i've opened another can of worms ig#which fucking sucks for me because every single time i have this conversation it devolves into people refusing to believe my csa history#or that i was sexed the ways i was as a kid#tony muses

When people say, "This fandom [insert some crappy behavior they don't like]" I think they really mean "Three people I refuse to unfollow who have crappy takes that feed my dopamine-outrage loop."
#fandom#my hot take#unfollow#block!#disengage from that which bugs you#i have a more or less lovely fandom experience#because i just simply unfollow blogs that make me uncomfy!#it's fandom it's not that serious#love you all!#😘

i'm lowkey thinking abt remaking percy & like starting fresh with who i'm following. because i want, quite desperately to be writing here & it's just severely overwhelming to look at the dash here.
#ooc.#i did recently unfollow a TOn of people but there are still just so many people i wanna write with that i simply CANNOT#not out of lack of desire just bcs of a lack of energy#i function better on a smaller scale i write very extremely slowly#i just don't think i will ever be actively writing w more than like a couple dozen people at a time#tho i WANT to write with everyone i just bounce back & forth between being a people person & not#regardless tho i think i am going to temporarily go to plots only for like longterm threads#like when it comes to memes & stuff we can wing it but i just think i wanna communicate w my rp partners here a little better#which is again on Me for not keeping up w conversations but!!#i did recently get put on an antidepressant which has been helping quite a bit#its the first step in getting medicated just testing the waters which is super exciting#but it's also making me reassess how i run my blogs / reprioritize what i want to be doing

I don’t know, me personally, I just think two adults playing pretend & pretending being gross together with full open communication & consent between them is harmless, but maybe that’s just me.
#this is very much a vague post if there ever was one & I’m absolutely vagueing#again; pay attention to the wording & reread if you need to#I think adults playing pretend on its own is harmless as long as everyone involved consents to it#idk how much more simply I can put this tbh but had to unfollow someone over saying certain kinks are harmful#like wow okay if they knew my other blog they’d be saying I’m an absolute freak probably tbh#always seems to be younger folks who have the unhealthy takes about kink but in this case i cant say nothing yknow?#idk this person & they're going through some stuff so i can't really say anything without it sounding tone policing plus parasocial#but just because bad people like a kink doesn't make a kink bad; trauma too doesn't make a kink bad; uncomfortable maybe but not harmful#just like in general yknow? its only as harmful as you make it between yourself & others. Everyone has to communicate or the whole thing#will fall apart. In this case there was absolutely some communication issues which lead to trauma but also just seeing someone agree that#a kink I like is harmful is like idk made me super uncomfortable even if the person is traumatized & going through it still just yeesh#idk seeing someone you follow for a while be like 'yeah this kink you like is bad' when by itself its actually harmless just leaves a#bad taste in your mouth if that makes sense. it just really rubbed me the wrong way so mmm 😕#I hope that person gets all the help & support they need; I'm just uncomfy with the rhetoric of 'certain kink bad' when its just like not#you're traumatized actually is what's going on & that person who hurt you was into said kinks so now in your brain those r bad#absolutely fair way to feel; but adults playing pretend with these specific ones is absolutely not inherently harmful#& pushing that kind of mindset is also coincidentally something right wingers especially want right now & commonly so yeah no#I just bleh it makes me feel gross when other people say stuff akin to that like oh that's like SWERF rhetoric even if unintentional jeez 😓#mine#op

at one point during my ongoing unemployment era I decided it wasn’t worth it to censor/compartmentalize my weirdoposting inclinations out of fear of alienating nice mutuals and that explains the current state of this blog
#I will frankly say anything now I’m sorry#I also started unfollowing people who take shit like that too seriously#oh you like X ship? degenerate freak!!! = I do not respect you as a person. to be honest#like if you’re doing that weird splitting-hairs shit abt what’s considered Good Freak fiction vs Bad Freak fiction I don’t think you#have a stance on it that’s based in anything but reflexive panic#which I experience as well lmao bc everyone does. but it’s at least worth thinking about! and many people simply do not

i'll be so honest, i am only in the swiftie fandom for the music atp
#diya says#it's gotten so exhausting lately#i unfollowed a few swifties here simply because i needed to step away and didn't want to see so much content no malice behind it#not my mutuals though i love you all and will never unfollow you#you're my main source of swiftie updates now#this was the first fandom i've been in where it wasn't just about the music and i really enjoyed it when i first joined#but the way everyone is obsessing over her love life 24/7 is pissing me off and it's just really tiring#i love posting about her tour her easter eggs her music FOR SURE#and i love all the music related discussion re album rankings certain eras of music ofc#but so much talk lately has been about her love life#how joe is this evil man who has not been letting her bejeweled and how travis is a god on earth#and i'm here like#no one was talking about any of this to such a huge extent this time last year#i will always be here for the music and i love love analysing her music and career but i genuinely don't think i can handle any more#of this love life discourse#and which songs are for which exes or whatever#anyway there's my spiel#and i sincerely don't want anyone to misconstrue this as hatred for swifties it really isn't#it's more so a criticism of the fandom space and why i don't want to be so involved anymore#ts

sometimes you really are just following someone who suddenly reblogs a post that pisses you off so much you have to unfollow and also cannot stop thinking about how factually wrong and “please I don’t mean this condescendingly, but what world are you living in in which this happens enough to be a systemic issue, go talk to someone before you make weird us-and-them distinctions like this” you feel about the whole thing
and so we move on, taking hp damage
#thank goodness i have plans to go places and do things today otherwise id be simply thinking about it constantl#y#in general have been seeing a lot of *if this then that* posts that have made me scratch my head#disconnected from the actual work being done to complain about not enough work being done#with a dose of self-martyring and *nothing will ever get better*#i simply have been unfollowing people who reblog those kinds of posts#and the people doing weird highly specific community infighting posts#which have the exact same textures as described above#me#personal

ooc;; i was more comfortable writing fucked up villain muses 9 years ago, now it seems like people are not into that anymore. sometimes it tempts me to change so many things about el just to avoid some ridiculous trouble, but on the other hand I’m like... why?
#coffee and dead things ;; ooc#i don't know#i keep seeing muns gettting rude anons#simply because they write something other people are uncomfortable with#which ok#but if you have an issue with it#like... just don't follow or unfollow?#and i'm talking about random stuff#nothing major#and horrible

me core: reblogging everyone's promo posts but never following first
#i simply assume no one wants to see my multiple fandoms so I wait for people to follow first#probably wasting opportunities to befriend new people#but also i find it disheartening to rb a promo#follow someone#and then not catching their interest#which is fine!! obviously#I just want to avoid having to unfollow later a;sldkjf

normal tumblr experience: i make a post with an opinion and say im just going to block ppl who try and argue with me about it but no one actually reads posts let alone understands their contents so naturally within just a few minutes i get an anon from someone who missed the point of the post entirely and is mad at me about it because their inability to read or click away is my problem for some reason
#rot posts#im not going to respond to the ask bc as i stated in the post. i do not fucking care and dont want to argue with ppl on the internet#but dont come into my ask box just to announce youre unfollowing also. lmfao. you dont Have to tell me you dont like my opinion you know#like i know. i know its so tempting to stomp your feet and make sure me (rando on the internet)#knows that you (rando on the internet) disagreed with me and i should feel soooo bad#but like. 1. you can just block/unfollow you dont have to send your passive aggressive anons lol#and 2. i literally said i wasnt going to argue with people which you clearly ignored or simply didnt read my post.#anyways im not in the fucking mood for this. cant a guy vent on his own damn blog in peace lmfao... christ alive

bro.
#i’ve been in agony all day about arcane s2 getting leaked#trying to avoid spoilers for 3 months is gonna be torture#no matter where i go#even if i do my best to filter mute block hide unfollow#it could be anywhere without warning#the best strategy here is to simply not go on social media#which will be hard for me (addiction <3)#there are some apps i’ll avoid entirely#i’m going to be insanely cautious#idc if i have to go to extreme lengths because if i were to see a spoiler i'd literally cry and throw up#anyway... i might still rb some arcane stuff from accounts i know are safe#and i have a ton of fanart in my drafts i can queue#i’m so furious that i can’t participate in the usual fandom activities now#genuinely the top thing that keeps me going every day :(#man. why did this have to happen. this whole thing fucking sucks

no you know what I'm going to scream about the stuff I talked about in the tags of this post publicly
I'm tired of the well-meaning "don't feel bad if your work only gets 20 notes your genius is what counts and do it for you!" bullshit. I've had a good handful of friends who have straight up DEACTIVATED in recent months because their work was not getting reblogged AT ALL. No, it wasn't from lack of not being well-liked, no it wasn't from lack of trying to make sure it was getting out there to the people they knew would engage with it. It was because no matter how much they were praised privately for their work, when push came to shove, absolutely NOBODY reblogged it and gave it the audience that it was due, and I'm tired of people shoving the "unsung genius" narrative as an excuse for it. Nothing excuses that. And the boop event really proved that.
because I know given the opportunity, indiscriminately pressing a button (sometimes 10 thousand times, as I did) is not beyond this website's capability. y'all loved doing that. and look at what it wrought. nothing but love and affection and happiness. just from a couple of quick clicks of a little paw button. sure. nobody knew who you booped but the other person (which is how likes used to work on this website, btw). there was an element of anonymity to it. but that is kind of the core of this website that no other social media platform still has: the ability to be anonymous. and hyper-curating a blog on here like you might on twitter or instagram to project an image is simply not viable. and hey. you wanna know a secret: literally nobody cares what you post or whether it goes with the "theme" of your blog or not. yeah. I know. CRAZY concept in this day and age. but literally. I myself have reblogged things that have had nothing to do with whatever I am currently fixated by and you know what happened to my follower count? not a damn thing. in fact, I actively try to reblog things specifically BECAUSE it's my friends who made them (even though I'm not always good at KEEPING UP WITH HOW MUCH THEY POST @prismatica-the-strange will NEVER GO UNRECOGNIZED by me).
And you know what fucking sucks? I have to deal with this too. surprise right? you ever wonder why I reblog fics or art I post like 20 times the day that I post them? do you ever wonder why I ask about tag lists and beg for asks all the time? IT'S BECAUSE EVEN I GET LIKE. 5 LIKES ON THE THINGS I POST. AND THE REST OF THE REBLOGS ARE MINE SO I CAN MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SEE WHAT I MAKE GET TO SEE IT. and I say that knowing that I'm certainly not an unpopular blog, or an unpopular writer. I know that people love the stories that I create. Hell, half of the people that I've talked to about lady terror have told me that they consider her to be canon (AND EVEN SOME!! THOUGHT SHE WAS!!! WITHOUT EVEN HAVING WATCHED THE SHOW! WHICH IS STILL SO SO WILD TO ME!!!) But especially in the last 4 years (which really dates this phenomenon), my posts, no matter how well received they've been amongst people I've talked to about them directly, I still go into the notes and at least half (often more than half) are MY reblogs to make sure people saw what I posted. and it happens every single time, and I can't tell you how much it crushes me considering that it used to be that I would be able to post it only once, and people would reblog it sometimes even HUNDREDS of times.
It's not about popularity. it never has been. it's not about anxiety. or shifting website cultures. even if you lurk, the simple fact is, that if you want people to keep making what you love. you have to reblog. your theme won't suffer because you reblogged a fanfiction that you really admire. your posting won't be ruined because you reblogged some fanart from someone in a different fandom. really. I promise. and if people do unfollow you for that? who needs em. followers come and go but you should NEVER have to cater to them. on this website it has ALWAYS been the other way around. lean into it. make it yours. put stuff you ACTUALLY WANT to be seen and that you love and appreciate on your blog. no matter how old it is, how new it is, no matter how niche or off-theme it is.
so please. if you really want to show your appreciation for someone's work? you reblog. it's really as easy as that. check the tags. add some when you reblog if you like. but please for the love of god reblog. it's as easy as booping and even more rewarding for the people who you reblog from. if you want to let someone know that their work is genius and appreciate it? show it. reblog. then DM them if you're too nervous to say what you want to say but not in a public forum. but for christ's sake. REBLOG.

Jews are treated so unfairly and left out of so many opinions leftists hold, and this time I'm specifically talking about the lesser opinions that don't get talked about as much.
Like I've seen so many people say "minorities don't owe you kindness when you're bigoted towards them"
Yet as soon as a jew is no longer kind, or acts out emotionally, it suddenly not okay for us to do so.
"You should remove people who hold bigoted opinions from a group as you need to create safe spaces for minorities"
Unless it's antisemitism then it's fine and the antisemite is allowed to stay.
"You should listen to minorities when they tell you you're being bigoted"
Unless it's a jew telling you that you're antisemitic
"Nothing is too hard when it comes to unlearning bigotry"
Unless it's unlearning antisemitism or even simply unfollowing accounts which are antisemitic
And you don't have to personally agree with all or any of the statements above to understand that there is a sizable chunk of people who do agree and do have these double standards towards jews.
#antisemitism#jumblr#jewblr#this is also a partial vent from something ive been going through#these are all opinions that a specific group of people believe who have also partaken in these double standards#i do not care if they see this or not im just so over it already

A lot of people (going by follow/unfollow patterns since October 7, 2023; a date which, speaking as a Jewish historian with a literal Masters degree in Modern Jewish History, will be permanently engraved in Jewish memory for as long as the Jewish people exist, regardless of whether or not that makes non-Jewish users upset) seem to take the simple statement: "In the 1930s anti-Semites were saying that exact same shit, except back then, they were telling us to go to Palestine," as a political statement, or an entry into the discourse.
It is simply a fact; in terms of modern European Jewish History, American Jewish History, and the intellectual history of anti-Semitism. If that causes a cognitive dissonance temper tantrum, that is on you. You get to decide whether you will use that dissonance as an opportunity to learn, or whether you will use it as an opportunity to scream your William of Norwich of the Twenty-First Century shit even louder.

“DO YOU THINK YOU’LL KILL FOR ME ONE DAY?” YES, OF COURSE I WILL, MY DARLING.
— manipulating yan!alastor + yan!vox was easy. after all, he’s a huge softie for you.
— lots of cursing + sex mention! (vox)
— lol!! after u read voxxy’s part, did u notice i said worse instaf of wordt? im super good at eng! 😈😈
— yan!alastor
you’d been acting out at this club for some time now— breaking property, starting a fight, and even lighting a fire. that last one did it for the owner, he finally banned you from the place, kicking you out indefinitely.
unfortunate, since it was your hangout spot for all kinds of mischief. perhaps— just maybe, there’d be a way to weasel your way back in? or, if not that, at least make him suffer.
a sniff came from you as you teared up, wondering about where else to have your fun. “ohh, my darling, is something the matter? you can tell me, i’ll make that problem go away.” alastor said as he walked into the hotel’s leisure room, his hand patting your back.
you tried to get the words out of your mouth, but it was simply too hard to breathe with the tears that poured down your face. “take your time, my doe… it’s okay.” alastor cooed with a slightly patronizing tone, as if he was the one in control right now.
“s-some club-owner… h-he called me degrading names, and then… he kicked me out…” you frowned at alastor, sniffing every now and then. “my doe, what exactly did he call you?” alastor asked, his voice slightly losing the static as well as having a more sinister edge.
as you listed the names the man had ‘called’ you, alastor pulled you closer to him as his anger began to boil. “it’s alright, my darling. a club with an owner like that is not worth it.” he smiled widely, brushing your hair gingerly before he planted a kiss on your forehead.
“besides, you’ll never see this man ever again. say, what did you say the name of this club was?” he asked before you whispered the club name to him. “i see… well, my little doe, it turns out that i must teach this man a lesson.” alastor stood up as his anger manifested into his body, elongating his limbs.
“you’re gonna kill him on radio? just… be kind… no one deserves a painful death.” you frowned in fake empathy. that fake empathy which would motivate alastor’s anger even more. “oh, dear, you are just too kind for hell. this man disrespected your honor, it’s simply fair that he receives something equally as humiliating.”
his hand rested on your chin, kissing you one last time before he left to find this disrespectful sinner. “now, if you’ll excuse me… someone has to be taught some manners. i assure you, love, that i’ll return by… dinnertime.” he promised before heading out the hotel, prepared to rip this man’s soul out of his body and make an example out of him for any other sinner who even dares to disrespect his little doe.
— yan!vox
are you the problem? nah, couldn’t be possible. if you were the problem, you wouldn’t have this lovely man as your boyfriend, now would you?
“ugh, then that bitch fucking unfollowed me! i don’t even know what i did to that fucker.” you sighed dramatically, frowning to your boyfriend through the facetime. “honestly, i don’t even know what you saw in her. you’re better off without, babe.” vox shrugged.
“and!! you wanna know the worst part?!?” you yelled out, face scrunching in pure dislike. “and what’s that?” vox asked. “that little bitch is yapping all over the city about you and i.” you rolled your eyes.
“ah..? she is? what exactly is she saying?” vox grunted as he glowed in anger. “she was ah… calling me your escort or whatever…” you scowled.
“tch, whatever! i’ll get over it— or, something.” you sighed, falling into your chair, as you closely eyed vox’s expression.
"aha... i'm glad you can let things go so easily, dear... now, i’d love to stay in call a bit longer, but i really have to take care of some important business right now." vox grunted, flying a quick yet lovely kiss to you before he ended the call.
okay, none of that happened— at least most of it didn’t happen. that girl... she was just pretty fucking annoying, always whining about how badly she wants to get fucked, jesus... close your fucking legs for once, yeah?
to be fair, on her own part, she was quite powerful. so, killing her yourself wasn't exactly a good option. instead, why not get your boyfriend to do it?
best case scenario, vox kills her, nothing else. worse case, vox simply hypnotizes her into selling her soul to him. ugh, imagine seeing that bitch's face everyday.
then again, you'd see her all sad and pathetic everyday cause she sold her freedom away.
either way, it's not looking too well for her.
