You can cut past like 90% of gender essentialism by shifting from “men are like X because they’re men, and women are like Y because they’re women” to “people are held to different standards, given different amounts of criticism, grace, encouragement etc based on positionality and they change and grow as a result.”
Sometimes you will be a lesbian to your parents and a straight man to your partners parents and a gay man to your partner and a woman to your grandparents and out to your friends and stealth to your classmates and a nice young lady to the cashier at the coffee shop and then people on your computer will ask you to choose which of these identities you ACTUALLY are and which you are Appropriating The Oppression Of because don’t you know they contradict each other. You can only be one thing solidly forever
eat a protein heavy breakfast. don’t shop on shein. it’s never too late to get more educated. tell people you love them. listen to birds. go to an old growth forest. get really good at something, just to see if you can.
Just a reminder from me (a military brat) and my parents (both military from military families): The most definitive way to know a recruiter is lying to you is to listen closely to what they’re saying. If you hear sounds, they’re lying.
Message crafted by the National Campaign For Justice:
Members of Congress have formally introduced impeachment articles against RFK Jr. for endangering public health. After months of escalating outbreaks, reckless decisions, and repeated vaccine misinformation, accountability has finally begun.
The timing could not be more urgent. The United States is approaching a measles outbreak tipping point. Public health experts warn that declining vaccination rates are allowing a disease once considered eliminated to regain a foothold. Measles spreads faster than almost any virus, and when vaccination coverage drops, outbreaks become inevitable.
At the same time, RFK Jr. oversaw the removal of the hepatitis B vaccine at birth from the list of vaccines guaranteed by the federal government. That decision directly increases risk for newborns and sends a dangerous signal about the future of routine childhood vaccination policy in this country.
Congress has now taken the first step toward accountability. But impeachment only succeeds if public pressure forces lawmakers to follow through. Without sustained outrage, leadership will stall, committees will bury the process, and RFK Jr. will remain in power while outbreaks worsen.
Tell Congress to move forward with impeachment and remove RFK Jr. before more children and families are put at risk.

So turns out the US are setting babies up for a lifetime of illness and increased likelihood of liver cancer in Guinea Bissau in the name of “research”
7000 newborns will be denied the neoneatal HepB vaccine until 6 weeks to ‘prove’ that the HepB vaccine is linked to neurodevelopmental disability on the directions of the Department of Health vis RFK Jr and in collaboration with researchers in Denmark, despite the fact that the vaccine’s efficacy rate and best protection is when administered to newborns, and the total lack of correlation between vaccination and neurodevelopmental disabilities.
Guinea Bissau has some of the highest rates of HepB on the continent, and infants are the group at the highest risk of contracting HepB, leading to chronic hepatitis & long term hepatic diseases like cirrhosis and liver failure as well as increased chance of liver cancer.
The study can’t be carried out in the US or Denmark because it fails almost every benchmark for medical ethics — surprising absolutely nobody, it is in fact heinously unethical to expose babies to preventable disease that causes liver failure and liver cancer, but the “study” has been green lit in Guinea.
Fuck the US imperial project in Africa, fuck RFK Jr and the US Department of Health, and fuck every single collaborative researcher in Denmark. This is some nightmare Tuskegee Study shit and every single individual involved deserves to be in The Hague.
I can’t speak for other social media webbed sites but I really enjoy how tumblr seems to just completely spin a wheel on whatever media is hot right now. Like yeah sometimes it’s a new show that’s big and actively coming out but also sometimes there will be a solid month where half my dash is Columbo memes. Defy authority. Get really into an book from the 1800s. Watch shows that haven’t aired in 40 years. Celebrate the anniversary of the Boston Molasses Flood. Become unmarketable

This is the most beautiful manga l’ve seen
Oh, no! Girls, watch out!
what
(longest bracket so far, in the middle) WHAT
(even longer breacket at the end) Education is presented as a meritocracy where anyone who makes an effort can raise to the top, when in reality education itself is a privilege determined by birth, and those who aren’t born with access to it can’t even dream to achieve what those who do have
