Feminist with a hill to die on.
TERFS/SWERFS and Nazis (including Nazi Sympathizers) can block me right now.
I am shocked at how many people don't have an actively hostile relationship with advertising
I am skipping your ads as fast as I can. I'm skipping past your sponsor read. I'm muting the tv. I'm muting the tab. If they get too annoying I will simply stop trying to watch.
If advertisers can use every manipulative trick in the book to get me to buy their product, I am fully within my rights to do everything I can on my end to make their job impossible
as someone who remembers the patriot act and all the conversation surrounding it, it's a bit... of an experience being able to remember how many people pointed out that Terrorist was a politically convenient term which could be used to dehumanise and legally strip the rights from someone and that eventually all this would be used internally. and the response was 'nuh uh only browns with funny headgear are terrorists'. and then two decades of 'fighting age males' being blown to pieces at weddings because they might have, maybe, looked at a terrorist once. A week ago a head of state is black bagged in the middle of the night by the US for being a 'narcoterrorist'. And now an unarmed, random woman - white, citizen - is gunned down by jackboot thugs and before her body is cold she is, of course, a domestic terrorist.
If you are reading this, you need to know that the moment the US state needs to kidnap you, the moment a drone pilot decides you're in the wrong place, the moment you are bleeding to death on the sidewalk, you will be a Terrorist. Because anything can be done to a Terrorist.
as much as we must mourn and stand in solidarity with Renee Nicole Good, please do not forget the other victims of ice raids, who are not white.
Silverio Villegas González, a cook from mexico who was dropping his son off at daycare and was murdered
Jaime Alanis, a farmer from mexico who fell off a green house at the farm where he worked to send money to his wife and daughter
Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez, a father and grandfather from Guatemala who was hit by a car
Josué Castro Rivera, a garden from Honduras who was struck by a car
And so many others who were killed or are dying in detention centres, prisons ect
racial bias is always something we must be aware of, Renee will be focused on because she was a white woman and a US citizen, but do not forget all the other victims of ICE, may they all rest in power
Serawit Gezahegn Dejene, from Ethiopia, who was kept in the Eloy concentration camp for 6 months despite being diagnosed with cancer
Marie Ange Blaise, from Haiti, who begged to see a doctor for her chest pains and was refused by ICE in Florida
Johnny Noviello, from Canada, Lorenzo Antonio Batrez Vargas, from Mexico, and Jean Wilson Brutus, from Haiti, whose families still have no answers about how they died in ICE custody
Shiraz Fatehali Sachwani, from Pakistan, who they kept detained for 5 months at a Texas concentration camp despite a history of liver and kidney issues
Fouad Saeed Abdulkadir, an imam from Eritrea, who was held in a concentration camp in Pennsylvania for a year and a half for the charge of applying incorrectly to a welfare program
24 other community members and loved ones died in ICE custody just in 2025
(Person who knows fuckall abt Epstein) That's smth I thought was kinda insane too. Like. Obviously the pedo shit is inexcusable, but. Surely it was not just Pedo Island. Like it always felt weird that this many people were associating with a known pedophile Trafficker. It makes so much more sense that they were associating with their "local" Dealer. A guy who could get what you ask for, or knows a guy who could. And sure the dealer probably dips into his own supply, but the important part is he's a dealer more than anything. He's not there because he likes kids, he's there because you needed a guy who could get you access to kids. He's there because you needed a guy who could get you a kilo of coke. He's there because you needed a guy who could get you 12 adult women with no questions asked. And everyone else knows each other because they all see the same guy for different things. The guy looking for the 12 women knows the Kilo of Coke guy, who knows the Pedo, because they met at the Dealers house once or twice.
I don't know much about Epstein specifically, but the way these things usually shake out (you see it in cults, gangs, fraternities, governments, gentlemen's clubs) is that a huge part of the network's job is to make you an accomplice. The coke guy and the trafficker and the hit man can all trust each other because they're all guilty. They all have something on each other and that keeps them safe. It's a safety net that doesn't bind just dealers but also customers; you can't be trusted, you won't be told anything, you won't become friends with anyone, until you indulge. Until you take the bribe or organise a hit or get drunk and go to bed with that fifteen year old girl, come on everyone does it, she's definitely flirting with you... and now you're in, you're damned with everyone else, so there's no risk in staying and so, so much risk in leaving, in becoming an annoyance to so many powerful and clearly immoral people. And you do want to be here, right? You haven't been having fun with us lately; you're not getting cold feet, not going to betray us, right? Of course not. Let's go out and have some fun together, since we're all still friends. Here, take this one on the house. Now I've done you some favours, I've got a favour to ask of you...
It's an old, old pattern. The well-off schoolboys bond by taking photos of each other having sex with a dead pig; the promising cultist gets invited out to dinner with the leader who casually pays for both of their meals with donation money that was supposed to go to charity; the wealthy businessman gets invited to the island.
I'll definitely be checking this out!
Got it for My Son and he took to it without being told to which is high praise for him; Favorites so far are Clifford: Puppy Tales and Maya & Miguel
It's out! You should be able to find it on all available platforms, as well as their classic YouTube channel!
the thing about disability is it really does sometimes boil down to "wow i wish i could do that" and then you can't. and it sucks.
accomodations are important but i think they miss the point of this post. sometimes you can't do it. at all. someone needs to do it for you or it will never happen.
"and then you force yourself anyway" folks im starting to think some of you really do not understand what it means to not be able to do things.
